Laura Mercier has a beautiful color palette for the summer 2014 season. Of this palette, “Strawberry Sorbet” from the creme smooth lip colour collection stands out as a fabulous pinkish-red hue for the summer season. 

“Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour by Laura Mercier is a beautiful pinkish-red lip color which plays well with any color palette. It is the perfect alternative to classic red as it is a slightly softer color with a pink undertone; which is just as neutral as traditional red without being as bold. Love that!

I am already a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s creme smooth lip colour. The lipstick collection is long lasting and moisturizes the lips; which is ideal for everyday wear. Laura Mercier’s creme smooth lip colour does not bleed onto the skin surrounding the lips and it does not smudge; a common problem with many creme lipsticks on the market.

“Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour by Laura Mercier is a great color for brightening up one’s face when paired with apparel in neutral hues, black or white. I love how it keeps my face from looking washed out in the photo above; which can easily happen when wearing white, or being photographed in white!

I am definitely keeping Laura Mercier’s “Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour in my handbag so that I can reach for it on a regular basis.

Chanel “Atmosphere” is one of two nude nail polish colors from Chanel’s fall 2014 beauty collection. This fresh twist on a nude nail color offers the bare sleekness of a nude, with the spicy flair of a pink iridescent overlay. The result is a versatile, pale hue which plays well with all color palettes and prints during any season. Love that!

Chanel “Atmosphere” nail polish is a sheer nail color which allows any nail imperfections you have to show through. For more nail coverage, I would recommend using one coat of a pale pink or white nail polish underneath “Atmosphere” in order to cover up any discolorations on your nail or to cover the tips of your nails.

I tested out Chanel “Atmosphere” for one week and the nail polish held up really well. I only received one chip on my thumb over the course of seven days. Love it!

“Atmosphere” nail polish by Chanel is a great nail polish color to try if you have always wanted to try a nude nail polish but felt like the colors available were too pale or downright boring. The iridescent finish on Chanel “Atmosphere” nail polish makes the overall color interesting and less like a traditional nude nail polish which is generally a flat pale pink or beige.

Chanel’s fall 2014 beauty collection has arrived on store shelves, which means, we can enjoy a little bit of the new season during the current season! Love that!

The nail polish colors from Chanel’s fall 2014 color collection give us a snapshot into what will be hot this upcoming autumn season. Fall 2014 nail polish trends include soft pinks, nude’s, deep shades of blue and hunter green. Chanel’s fall 2014 nail polish collection includes a pinkish nude, “Secret,” an iridescent hue “Atmosphere” and a deep slate blue named “Orage.”

“Secret” from Chanel’s fall 2014 nail polish collection is a great way to wear fall 2014 during the hot summer months. This soft pink nail polish, also considered a nude shade, is easy to wear with any color palette and can easily pass for a summer hue. The pastel pink nature of “Secret” plays well with spring 2014’s pastel hues and summer 2014’s bright and neon colors. Although it works well as a summer hue, Chanel “Secret” nail polish is very fall 2014. Love that!

I tested out Chanel “Secret” nail polish and found the polish looked streaky with two coats. I added a third coat and the color turned out perfect. I wore Chanel “Secret” with three coats of color, one base coat and no top for one week. The nail polish held up really well and took six days to chip.

Chanel “Secret,” is not limited edition, so this pretty pink nail polish can easily become a classic staple in anyone’s nail polish wardrobe. “Secret” by Chanel is a great everyday nail polish which should work now and throughout the fall season; as well as into the winter and cruise seasons!
