Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish review

Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish review

pictured: Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish

Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish is a beautiful, dark rose hue from Chanel’s limited edition collection of rose colored nail polishes introduced in the pre-fall season. If Chanel’s fall 2017 nail polish collection is not your thing, this pretty, classic hue is a great alternative nail color for fall.

Although Rose Confidentiel nail polish is the lightest rose hue from Chanel’s four  rose-hued, limited edition, nail polish collection, it is on the darker side as far as the rose color family is concerned. This falls right in line with autumn’s dark color palette. I love Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish as an alternative to the edgier colors in Chanel’s main nail polish collection for fall.

I tested out Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. It is long lasting! I love how Chanel’s nail polish is five free, while still being a long lasting formula.

Rose Confidentiel by Chanel is a classic rose hue with cool undertones. It is an easy color to wear right now, and well into the fall season. I love how it plays well with shades of blue, pink, and autumnal hues.

When I want a more classic nail, Chanel Rose Confidentiel will be the nail polish color I reach for this fall season. What do you think of it? You can find Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish online here.

This tiered sleeve blouse sold out so quickly last month! It is back in stock, in a full size run! Yay! It is lightweight enough to start wearing right now. It also reflects the hot, tiered sleeve trend of fall 2017. I love wearing next seasons trends right now. Don’t you? You can find this top online here.

These embroidered slides sold out quickly earlier this month. Good news! They are back in stock! And, they aren’t just back in stock, they are available in a full size run as well as a TON of colors and patterns! I need to pick another pair! There are so many to choose from, which ones are your favorites? You can see them all online here.

This blouse sold out quickly in July. It has just come back in stock! Not only is it back in stock in all sizes, it is now available in four color choices! Love! It is super comfortable and I love the tie details on the sleeves; don’t you? Which color do you love? You can see them all online here.

I bought this coat last fall, and it is back in stock this fall in all sizes. Not only is it back in stock, but it is available in cobalt and blush! To make it even better, this coat is currently on sale! Love that! It is very comfortable and super warm. It will be perfect as we approach winter. Cobalt and blush are both hot colors for the fall/winter seasons; so this coat is right on trend; and at a sale price! You can find it online here.

Have you been eyeing any of these items since they sold out? Which ones will you pick up now? I’m going to snap up the slides in another color!

Frizzy hair solutions | How to tame frizzy hair

frizzy hair solutions

frizzy hair solutions c/o Garnier from left: cooler bag for the beach (won’t solve frizzy hair, but it will keep your food cold at the beach!) / Sleek & Shine conditioner / Sleek & Shine shampoo / Anti-Frizz serum / Zing citrus zinger water bottle (won’t solve frizzy hair, but it is a water game changer) /  Sleek & Shine leave-in conditioner / beach radio speaker (won’t solve frizzy hair, but it will entertain you!) / smooth air dry cream / face mask moisture bomb pink and blue

Raise your hand if you get frizzy hair? Especially during the summer! My hand is so far up, I can’t even see it! We get fog here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the fog makes my hair frizz like crazy! I am always looking for low-maintenance, frizzy hair solutions to keep my mane tame.

Here in the Bay Area, I am always asking my friends how to tame frizzy hair, because let’s face it, this is a problem! We don’t use a lot of hair products in California, our hair styles are more windblown then in other parts of the country. But, just because we like a little beach hair here or there, this does not mean we want frizzy hair. We need to find the perfect frizzy hair solutions to keep our natural hair do’s on point; without looking like we stuck our fingers in a socket.

Garnier has a fabulous collection of hair care products which are the perfect solutions to frizzy hair. The Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine collection includes shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and an anti-frizz serum. When used together, they are the perfect line of defense against frizzy hair; which I also like to refer to as “Fog Hair.”

I love the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine collection for combating my Fog Hair. My favorite product from the collection, which is must-have for anyone who needs to tame frizzy hair, is the Anti-Frizz Serum. This stuff is genius! The Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Serum is perfect for using while blow-drying hair, or to use as a line of defense against fog or humidity; both enemies which make our hair frizz up like crazy.

For travel, I love the Garnier Smooth Air Dry cream. It is a great way to smooth out frizz while on the go. This is something I keep in my gym bag, beach bag, and in the car for trips. You never know when your hair might frizz up! The Garnier Smooth Air Dry cream will tame that frizz down; it is a great frizzy hair solution!
