One of my favorite lipsticks of all time is Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine. It is a sheer lipstick which is moisturizing, while still offering a shiny color. Chanel Melancolie is a beautiful brownish-red hue from Chanel’s fall 2015 beauty collection which is downright beautiful.

I am in love with Chanel Melancolie Rouge Coco Shine for fall 2015. It is such a pretty color. The color is long lasting, and also provides even lip coverage. This will definitely be my dark lipstick for the fall 2015 season.

If you have not tried Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in the past, I highly recommend giving it a try! It is hydrating, comfortable, and glides on smoothly. Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine also does not smear. It is perfect!

Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine lipstick is also lightweight. You cannot feel it on your lips. There is no stickiness, no tight feeling, and no drying whatsoever. It is comfortable; like wearing chapstick! Love that!

I love the sheer shine Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in Melancolie leaves on lips. It offers color without leaving a “painted” on look on the lips; like some cream lipsticks leave.

Chanel Melancolie Rouge Coco Shine lipstick is a great color for the fall 2015 season. The brownish-red hue is ideal for the upcoming autumn season. It blends perfectly with fall’s neutral tones, shades of red, and traditional autumn color palette. It will be perfect to wear on an everyday basis!

Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine lipstick comes in a variety of both classic and seasonal hues. (online here) If you have not tried it yet, I highly recommend Melancolie for fall. If this is not your type of color, check out the entire collection; there is bound to be a color you will fall in love with!

I rate Chanel Melancolie Rouge Coco Shine lipstick five out of five stars.

I have heard amazing things about the Charlotte Tilbury beauty collection. This prompted me to want to try out her matte lipstick. I prefer matte lipsticks, and sheer lipsticks, so when I saw how beautiful the Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution lipstick collection looked, I had to give it a try!

Miss Kensington is the first color which captured my eye from the Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution lipstick collection. It is a light pink, reminiscent of the pale pinks which were popular in the 1960’s. I love the look!

Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution in Miss Kensington applied smoothly; almost silk-like. I found the lipstick to be long-lasting, as well as moisturizing. Love that!

The matte nature of the lipstick, combined with the pale pink color of Miss Kensington, gives the overall lipstick a natural, easy appearance to wear on a daily basis. This hue is perfect for both daytime and nighttime ensembles; especially in the summer months.

I love the color with my bright summer clothing, I also feel like it will transition into early fall nicely with light autumn colors; as well as neutral apparel. Love that!

I am looking forward to purchasing more from Charlotte Tilbury’s matte revolution collection in the future. I love the lipstick formula, and the color choices are a-ma-zing!

Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution lipstick in Miss Kensington can be found online here.

There is also a Miss Kensington color collection which can be found online here. This collection looks amazing. It contains the matte revolution lipstick, Colour of Youth Lip & Cheek Colour, Dreamy Glow Highlighter Illuminating Youth Powder, Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow in Jean, Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow in Marie Antoinette, Rock ‘n’ Kohl Iconic Liquid Eye Pencil in Barbarella Brown, and Full Fat Lashes 5 Star Mascara; all in a fabulous Charlotte Tilbury makeup bag. Love!

Happy National Lipstick Day!

Happy National Lipstick Day! In honor of National Lipstick Day, I thought I would talk a little about my favorite lipsticks! But first, let’s review a small bit of lipstick history.

Lipstick was first thought to have been invented roughly 5000 years ago by Sumerian women. According to Wikipedia, Sumerian women crushed gemstones and used the paste to decorate their lips and eyes. Can you imagine crushing gemstones to make cosmetics?! I would die. My instinct would be to create sparkling jewels! But I digress. . .

The use of lipstick continued throughout ancient, and modern history, with civilizations using different types of ingredients to make lipstick; sometimes with toxic results.

Lipstick became popular in England in the 1600’s when Queen Elizabeth used it to color her lips. Only upper class women, and actors wore lipstick at that time. As history progressed, lipstick was commonly thought of as risque; Nice girls, young girls, and unmarried girls, were not permitted to wear lipstick. It was not until the mid-twentieth century that lipstick became acceptable to wear at any age; and in any demographic. Until this time, lipstick was, in general, red. It became acceptable in large part due to new colors brought to market such as pink, peach, and white. The newer colors were seen as less racy, and more of a fashion statement. Isn’t that amazing!

My favorite lipstick colors are pinks, light purples, and sheers. I tend to gravitate towards shine lipsticks, and sheer lipsticks. Matte and cream lipsticks feel too heavy on me. 

The lipstick brands I gravitate towards are Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, and Tom Ford. They have the most amazing colors, formulas, and results! The Dolce & Gabbana Shine Lipstick featured in the photo above, is my new favorite lipstick. It offers a light, warm shine on the lip which is sheer, and easy to wear on a daily basis. It matches everything! Love that!
