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.

Chanel Fortissimo nail polish for fall 2015

Chanel Fortissimo nail polish is a beautiful navy blue hue from the Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection released for late fall 2015. This navy blue hue offers a rich color, and slight sparkles which are embedded into the nail polish. Love that!

Navy is a classic autumn hue. It acts as a neutral which can be used in place of chocolate brown or black. This makes Chanel Fortissimo nail polish a fabulous neutral tone which will blend well with fall’s color palette. Perfection.

Chanel Fortissimo is the darker of the two blue nail polish hues released by Chanel for late fall 2015. As part of the Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection, Chanel Fortissimo nail polish caters to the blue nail polish lover who needs the perfect shade for autumn.

I tested out Chanel Fortissimo nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The color went on smoothly, and streak free. The sparkles appeared during application of the second coat; when the true color shines through.

Chanel Fortissimo nail polish was long lasting. This could be caused by this fabulous top coat I have become addicted to these past couple of months. My top coat review can be found here.

Chanel Fortissimo nail  polish lasted a full eight days before needing to be changed. The only reason it needed changing was because my nails grew. Love that!

As a blue nail polish fan, I was thrilled to see Chanel Fortissimo. This nail polish is a beautiful, classic navy blue which offers both depth, and a slight sparkle. It is a fabulous navy blue hue to keep around as a nail polish wardrobe staple. I am looking forward to wearing Chanel Fortissimo nail polish often this fall; as well as into many seasons to come!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit EDP review

One of my favorite fragrance notes is vanilla. So, when I first heard of LaVanila fragrances, I immediately purchased and reviewed their beautiful Vanilla Coconut fragrance for summer. After falling in love with Vanilla Coconut, I was hooked on the entire collection and had to try LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit!

Vanilla Grapefruit is my second fragrance from the LaVanila collection. It has a beautiful fruity gourmand scent which is both refreshingly crisp, and warm. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit eau de parfum offers a fruity gourmand combination of fragrance notes including Pink Grapefruit, Lime, Bergamot, Orange, Cedarwood, and Madagascar Vanilla.

This beautiful fragrance offers a warm base of Madagascar Vanilla which offers complex fruit layers on an unique blend of pure essential oils. LaVanila is one of the world’s first healthy fragrances; infusing natural technology from organic sugar cane alcohol; and skin-saving botanicals and antioxidants for a modern twist on the classic art of perfumery. Love!

I love the idea of natural perfume. Not only is the scent pure, real, and not from a lab, it does not leave potentially harmful chemicals on your skin which could be absorbed into your system.

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp is long lasting. The fragrance started off with a fruity zing laced in vanilla. As the day wore on, the vanilla lay softly in the background as different fruit notes cycled through detection. At the end of the day, there was a slight fruit scent laced in a woody vanilla base. Perfect fragrance experience for any weather; warm or cold. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp rates five out of five stars!

LaVanila has a wide range of fragrance products which carry it’s fragrances; complimenting the eau de parfum collection. The collection includes deodorant, roller balls, and body butter.
