Chanel Road Movie Eyeshadow Quad- Fall 2017




Chanel Fall is gorgeous ( ok that's no surprise ).  The collection is front loaded with wearable neutrals with jewel tones thrown in the mix for a pop of Autumnal color.  Lucia Pica was inspired by road  trip through California and it's easy to see the inspo here. 

Road Movie is  one of the eyeshadow quads in the collection and it's a beauty.  The bronze is an everyday shade for me and the muddy tan comes close to that as well.  I don't wear green as often as I should ,  although it is a shade I love, so the rich shimmering deep green here might be just the ticket .  The last shade is  a blackened dark navy . It looks almost black in the palette but goes on more blue. This one would work well as a liner too. 


 I look at this palette and think of cool breezes and turning leaves and how it will go with  all the neutral clothing we wear come Fall- camel , hunter green, black ,charcoal.  Like most Chanel eyeshadows the pigment here is deep except for  with the lightest shade which needs building. They glide on smoothly .  The green shade is shimmery and does have fall out. 


Chanel Road Movie Eyeshadow Quad is $ 61 and available now.

IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cleanser




We have Confidence in our skin and eye cream ,  now we can have  IT in our cleanser.

Part of IT Cosmetics new August launches is a cleanser to not only complement their other products but also do a great, comfortable job cleaning our skin .

 Confidence In A Cleanser is  fairly thick gel cream that deeply cleanses without drying or irritating skin.   IT calls it a "cleansing serum " and that's pretty accurate .  It got all my considerable makeup off including waterproof mascara  .  My skin is on the oilier side this time of year but it didn't feel greasy on as some moisturizing cleansers can. It was just right , the balance between enough moisture to soothe skin while cleansing but also strong enough get all the gunk , oil etc. off without stripping skin.



The lather is light and you need a normal amount, about a nickel size blob .

The formula contains  a ceramide complex, colloidal oatmeal ( known for soothing ) collagen and hyaluronic acid along with the brand's Anti-Aging Armour Rejuvenating Concentrate™ .  It is sulfate and soap free and has a light herb-ish scent.

IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cleanser  is $ 28 for 5 oz at Ulta and IT Cosmetics.com

Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon Trio Set @ Ulta

When I was in Ulta last night I spotted this very cute set of Baby Lips Balm from Maybelline. The Mom had my phone so I couldn't snap a pic but they are online as well.

The set includes three shades of Baby Lips Color Balm tucked in a flip top box.  I reviewed these previously  here . They are moisturizing with a lot of pigment. Great easy Summer color but also good going into Fall when the weather begins to cool. This is my kind of back to school supply.

Colors included are :
  • Blush Burst 
  • Sassy Scarlet
  • Strawberry Pop 

Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon Trio Set is $ 16.99 and only at Ulta.
