Chanel Ombre Premiere Long Wear Powder Eyeshadow

Chanel goes solo with the launch of Ombre Premiere  Long Wear Powder Eyeshadows . There are a multitude of shades in a single pan compact.

These new beauties are a silky, smooth formula that's  long wear with rich, deep pigment that blends easily. They do have a little fallout,  but it's minor.  They come in satins ,mattes and metallics.

I have three of the  new shades . Noir Satin is a medium deep black, Desert Rouge , a pink tinged red and Talpa, a perfect wear everyday , always looks good Taupe.  Desert Rouge is the metallic out of the trio.  I found that Noir Satin didn't go on as fully pigmented as the others and needs more building but it's also a more wearable black than a super dark one might be ( at least for me)

You can probably guess that Talpa is my favorite here. One eyeshadow  to get it done every AM when I have little time or energy to blend, mix, contour etc.

Also new are two eye brushes.  I haven't explored Chanel brushes much before and now I am wondering why?   Shown is the dual ended retractable Blender/Shader.

Chanel Ombre Premiere LongWear Powder Eyeshadow are $ 30 each

Retractable Dual Tip Eyeshadow Brush is $ 42

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream W/ SPF 30

One of Kiehl's most popular facial products now has  SPF.

Ultra Facial Cream now comes in a version with SPF 30 . The cream is known for it's 24 hour hydration properties using ingredients including squalene , glycerin and  fountain plant ( this plant is said to  helps hydration and  thrive in dry weather).

The cream itself, while moisturizing feels light on skin. It has an almost whipped consistency.   My skin immediately felt moisturized but not greasy or sticky.   That makes it nice for warmer weather when we especially want SPF but not something that will weigh on skin.  I wasn't sure if it would be too heavy for my normal/oily skin but it worked well ( I didn't use it on my T Zone though) .

The SPF is chemical and broad spectrum.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream W/ SPF 30 is $ 47.50 for 50 ml jar

Demeter Petrichor

Tired of waiting for a Dr. Who inspired fragrance? Demeter has created a fragrance just for Whovians. Well, ok maybe for fragrance fans too but let's face it we'll get IT.

Petrichor  "For The Girl Who Is Tired Of Waiting"  channels the scent of  rain hitting the dry ground. Demeter is known for creating scents around unusual inspirations and they usually work really well.

Petrichor smells dry, earthy and mineral but also aquatic.  I get juniper, soap, wet clay. Maybe there is some vetiver in there too. It's unisex and leans more masculine .

Amy, Rory and Eleven may be gone  but Petrichor can help you remember and will look nice sitting next to your mini TARDIS.

And yes that is a Peter Davison pin in the pic. A relic from my convention days when I almost met him . I loved him as the Dr.
