REVIEW: Chanel Le Vernis in Rose Confidentiel

Today's review is Chanel's Nail Polish in Rose Confidentiel from the Fall 2010 Collection. As my previous post had stated, I finally broke down and bought 2 colors. There is so much hype about these polishes, but at $23+tax, it was hard for me to justify buying them. However, Rose Confidentiel appealed to me especially since this color isn't a typical color I personally would not wear.

Rose Confidentiel is a medium toned pink cream color. It has a bit of a brown muted undertone to it and looks very glossy without a top coat. This is perfect for the fall and a great transition color from summer to fall.

I especially liked the way it applied so opaquely. One coat of it was enough, but I always prefer extra so I did two coats. The application was extremely easy and the formula wasn't very thick or thin in particular. I noticed that the drying time was significantly faster than anything that I own (comparing to OPI, Essie, China Glaze). I also noticed that the "nail polish smell" was much milder as well, which is definitely a plus!

The color of the bottle is the most accurate. On my nails, it looks less pink than the picture portrays

MAC came out with the Viva Glam Cyndi and Gaga Lipglasses recently, so I moseyed on over to the store to check it out. I tried them both and personally, I liked the Cyndi lipglass WAY better. The color went on smoothly and didn't exaggerate every lip line to be seen within a mile radius. Excellent staying power too, depending on what you eat/do. I love the hydrating factor too since it is a lipglass.

However, I DO approve of the Gaga lipstick. The luster finish makes the bright pink shade buildable (read: one swipe is on the sheer side). Although, it tends to dry my lips out after long use. My lips are amazingly dry in nature. But the Cyndi lipstick is too bold for me, I don't know why.....

Stella McCartney Satin and Cork Quinn Pump

Ok, I had originally bought these in Houston when they were on presale at the Saks. However, since I was leaving the next day I couldn't pick them up before I left. So I had to wait. And I really don't like waiting =( They were FINALLY shipped to me!

Look at them in ALL her glory! She was so beautiful! The heel is perfect height (just slightly below 4 inches). And they are so unique with the cork detailing in the front along with the heel. I love them so much that I already wore them out this weekend to dinner with the BF.

Chanel Le Vernis

I recently picked up 2 Chanel nail polishes (my first!) in Paradoxal and Rose Confidentiel. I am super excited about both. I have heard a lot of buzz about Paradoxal and I finally caved and bought it. Rose Confidentiel was more of a whim. I saw pictures on temptalia.com which were so absolutely beautiful that I HAD to pick this one up!

I will update when I swatch. Hopefully, that will be this weekend! And I will post my most recent beauty haul.
