Rouge Coco Shine hydrating lipstick is one of my favorite lipsticks of all-time. Every season I wait with baited breath for the new colors to come out so that I can get my hands on the perfect hues for the new season. So when Chanel launched their spring 2016 collection LA Sunrise, which includes three new colors to covet for the season, I was thrilled!

Energy and Mighty captured my eyes right away. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Mighty looks like a neon fuchsia in the tube. On the lips, it is a sheer, upbeat pink which can be worn right now; and into the spring 2016 season. It looks amazing with apparel in shades of blue and pink. I also love how it brightens up a black ensemble. This is the perfect color to wear now, as an instant update to your current winter wardrobe. It really brightens up a dreary day!

Energy is a bright, neon red which glides on the lips, adding a sheer, reddish hue. This is a great everyday color for enhancing natural lip color. I cannot wait to use it as my go-to beach lipstick this spring and summer. It adds the perfect shade of red to lips. Love that!

As usual, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine hydrating sheer lipstick is great to wear all day long. Since it is hydrating, I never need to wear chapstick or a lip balm underneath. It is perfect for wearing during outdoor activities since it looks understated, and hydrates/protects the lips when outside.

Chanel’s spring 2016 beauty collection also includes a third color of their iconic Rouge Coco Shine hydrating lipstick; it is called Shipshape. Shipshape is a sheer, bright orange color which is sure to brighten up a spring day. I did not purchase this color because I don’t wear orange, but if you look good in orange, then this might be a good option for you if pink is not your thing.

Cosmetics c/o Borghese / Eye color palette: Eclissare Color Eclipse / Fango Purificante / Face Primer / Mascara / Eye Liner / Lip Gloss: Simmer / Lip Gloss: Spark / Lipstick: Grappa

 It is always fun to try new out new cosmetics. When I received a box containing an eye color palette, lip gloss, lipstick, and skin care products for a Borghese review, I was thrilled! I love the Fango clay products by Borghese, so trying out their makeup is a natural next step!

The Eclissare Color Eclipse color palette contains twelve eye shadow colors which are classic neutrals. I love the beautiful shades of brown, golden hues, and charcoal tones. It is easy to create casual eyes, daytime eyes, office appropriate eyes, and glam evening eyes with this color palette!

In addition to the Borghese Eclissare Color Eclipse eye shadow palette, I tested out Borghese’s Superiore Mascara, and Borghese’s Eclissare Color Eclipse eye liner. The mascara offers a smooth application without clumping, and the eye liner applies in a smooth straight line.

Borghese’s lip glosses offer a sheer color application with a slight sparkle, making them perfect for evening, or holiday parties. The lipstick in Grappa is a great winter wine which is easy to wear during the day or in the evening. For a glam evening look, the Simmer lip gloss applied over the Grappa lipstick makes a perfect night lip!

No-one likes clumpy or streaking makeup, therefore Borghese’s Face Primer is a must-have in every makeup bag. It offers a smooth base for foundation, or powder makeup. Love that!

Of course, the Fango face cleaner is fabulous! It is a clay cleaner which is great at gently removing air pollution, makeup, and natural oils which build up during the day.

Borghese has a large selection of cosmetics. You can find them online here, here, here, here, and here.

Dolce & Gabbana Dora classic cream lipstick review

Dolce & Gabbana Dora classic cream lipstick holidays 2015

Dolce & Gabbana Dora is a bright red, classic cream lipstick. In the tube, Dolce & Gabbana Dora appears to be an orange-red hue. When I applied it, the color seemed slightly more pinkish than orangish; as it had looked out of the box.

I am not sure if it became a pink-red due to my natural lip color, or if that is how Dolce & Gabbana Dora is meant to perform. Nevertheless, orange-red lipsticks scare me, so to see it take on a pink-red format after application was a breath of relief! I just don’t do orange.

Dolce & Gabbana’s collection of classic cream lipsticks are a must-have in anyone’s make-up wardrobe. They are mousturzing, long-lasting, offer a smooth application, and provide fabulous color saturation. Normally they look the same in the tube, and on the lips; Dora is an anomaly for me. An anomaly in a good way! I love pink-red’s!

Now that the holiday season is in full swing, Dolce & Gabbana Dora is a fabulous classic cream lipstick to have on hand. It is a festive, bright hue, which adds a little bit of “party” to any ensemble; casual or dressy. This is also a great alternative to classic, fire engine red lipstick hues.

Dora by Dolce & Gabbana is a great red lipstick to keep on hand throughout the year; it is not just a holiday color. It will work well with any color palette; and is the perfect way to brighten your face when wearing classic black. Classic red lipstick + classic black = perfection 😉

If you have not tried Dolce & Gabbana classic cream lipstick, Dora is a great color to get as your first tube. This is an easy red to wear, and it isn’t too bright; like most classic red lipsticks. Love that!
