Chanel Ombres Tracees in Jardin Zen, Illusion d'Ombre in Rose Des Vents Swatches

I'm thrilled to show you the new quad from Chanel - Ombres Tracees in Jardin Zen, and the Illusion d'Ombre cream shadow in #94 Rose Des Vents today! It's been quite a while since I last featured Chanel on this blog and I'm ecstatic to procure these two pieces.

December Empties

I wish everyone has had a happy holiday last week, I spent the entire week on vacation in December and have managed to finish quite a lot. 

Sofina Beaute Makeup Cleansing Gel - I tried out a deluxe sample size of this and reviewed HERE. Was very impressed by gel-to-liquid formula when it comes to makeup removers. So I redeemed this full size for free using shopper's point. I may get another bottle using rebate in the future, but since I"m moving towards 'cleaner' products, that might not happen, lol.

MoroccanOil Hair Treatment oil - I loved this and swear it with my life, and this is my second bottle of the stuff. It has come to my notice that it's quite laden with silicones and the 'real stuff' (aka argan oil) is rather low in portion. Plus real argan oil is supposed to be good on its own, there's no need to mix it in a chemical concoction to make it 'look like' argan oil. I've also noticed my hair has become thinner. I'm determined to 'detox' my beauty regime so, its time to bid farewell to this.

Emptied Products in November

I'm gonna make this short and sweet. I ordered tons of shower gels for my bf and I, got tons of holiday stuff, and birthday coupons start to roll in come December! It's about time to review the empties project and my spending habit in year 2013 *face palm*. Anyways, to the empties of November:

Emptied Products in July

I've not been diligent in the empties' project during July. Sometimes I thought it's because I've put much emphasis on getting rid the (annoying) amount of samples/deluxe samples that's been accrued in boxes and trunks, so I could have finished more full size products if not for this. I've also decided not to accrue empties in a plastic bag, instead I'll take pictures of them and will throw them away instantly; yes I'm the girl who's holding a Bioderma empty bottle and a Clarins toner bottle you saw in the morning lift ride. Anyways, here's what I have finished.

Emptied Products in May

I spent a week on vacation this month and therefore the empties this month would be separated in two parts (pictures taken at different places!).

Chanel Joues Contraste in #74 Ultra Rose and Poudre Lumiere Nacree Shimmer Glow Powder swatches

My world has just toppled over when I saw these two new beauties from Chanel - the new Joues Contraste in a super cotton candy pink and a shimmering champagne-peachy highlighting powder. Both products are like my dream colors. I can't live without pink blushes nowadays and who can say no to a peachy highlighter seriously? Haven't seen this at the counters? Fret not, here comes the swatches.

Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Eyeshadows in Apparition and Destination Swatches// Chanel Apparition 及 Destination 眼影膏試色圖

Earlier on this week, I walked by a Chanel standalone store in Harbour City, I successfully got a friend to get the Illusion d'Ombre eyeshadows. I skipped the Illusion d'Ombres in Vision and Abstraction but fell immediately with Destination and Apparition, which were also a limited release only available in 3 standalone stores in Hong Kong.

早前經過 Chanel 專門店, 成功誘導朋友包下了最新及限量的眼影膏, 我也不例外, 呵呵. 之前推出的 Vision (金) 及 Abstraction (珊瑚橙紅) 我都乖乖跳過了.  是次介紹的 Destination 及 Apparition 只在 3 間Chanel 專門店有售.
