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.

Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish spring 2016 review

Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish for spring 2016, is the hot new nail color from Chanel for the spring season. This nail polish is destined to be the IT color of the season! Is it blue? Is it purple? Well, it happens to be both; depending upon where you are standing.

That’s right! Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish looks navy blue in the bottle. When applied in artificial light, it is a bright purple hue a few shades darker than last summer’s Lavanda. It also looks purple indoors near a window; throwing the artificial light versus natural light theory out the window. When I walk outside, and the sun shines on the nail polish, or I am in the shade, Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish looks like a vibrant cobalt blue. Whoa, such a trip!

When I saw the cameleon nature of Sunrise Trip by Chanel, I was thrilled! My two favorite nail polish hues are purple and blue, so to have them in one nail polish is perfection! This is definitely a fun color for the spring season, imagine all the conversations it will start!

I love how Chanel always pushes the envelope with color when it comes to nail polish. Without fail, Chanel can be counted on to set the bar extremely high in nail polish fashion for any given season. Whether they are reinventing a neutral, making red happen, or creating a new color never before seen by the human eye, Chanel can do no wrong. Sunrise Trip is just another prime example of why Chanel nail polish is so fabulous, it is two colors in one, seemingly sensible creme nail polish! Love that!

I tested out Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish with one base coat, two coats of Sunrise Trip, and one top coat (I LOVE this top coat!!), and it remained chip free! I am looking forward to wearing Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish throughout the spring season. It is such a fun and uplifting color!

Sunrise Trip by Chanel also happens to blend well with whichever color you are wearing. If you happen to be wearing a blue hue, it will look blue, if you are wearing a color from the purple family, it will look purple, and if you are wearing green or teal, it will look cobalt! Love it!

Chanel Sunrise Trip nail polish can be found online here, here and here. If you like it, get it now, because this is definitely going to be one of those Chanel nail colors that sell out quickly before the season is over.

Stay tuned, I will be reviewing two lipsticks from Chanel’s spring 2016 beauty collection next week!

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.
