The $61 Chanel road movie palette, available now in the travel Diary fall Collection
Holy highway, Thelma & Louise! I just realized that I don’t have a favorite road movie!

How’s that even possible? I’m such a movie fiend.

ANNONSE

Jaja. thank you, Chanel road movie eyeshadow palette, for that realization.

Hmm… What about speed starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves? It’s not really a road movie, but I love that cheesy classic (Thelma & Louise is another great one, of course).

Colors of the California coast

Road movie ($61) is one of two limited edition quads in the Chanel travel Diary fall Collection that were inspired by colors of the California coast, and I can definitely see the colors of the state along the coast between LA and big Sur.

There are deep, oceanic navy blues and teals in this eye quad, but let’s get real — the water is usually darker, murkier and scarier than we ever see it in makeup, LOL!

The quad also has a satiny golden brown, which is a powder shadow version of Memory, the cream shadow in this collection, and a matte tan that looks like golden Cali sand.

That’s road movie on my lids and lash lines, Chanel palette Essentielle in beige intense (from the travel Diary fall Collection) on my cheeks, and Chanel Rouge Coco in Experimental on my lips (also from travel Diary).
Packed with pigment

Powerful pigment isn’t the first thing I think when it comes to Chanel quads. The brand usually pulls back on the pigment — but not too much — which makes it easier for mere mortals like me to blend them and sheer out the edges. That’s one of the reasons I love Chanel shadows so much for everyday looks. They’re juuust pigmented enough.

This quad? road movie has make up For Ever-caliber color. The shadows are intensely pigmented, especially the blue and teal, but they’re still surprisingly easy to work with.

Ready to hit the road

Easy to apply, and long-lasting

I’m happy with one or two (or two) layers and have to use very little elbow grease. just a few swirls and swipes with my Chanel dual-ended eye brush. At the end of the day, my lids still look just as bright and fresh as they do first thing in morning.

Vei Film
The caveat…

There is some fallout, though, with the navy and teal (yup, even when I tap my brush). just to warn you, it can get a little messy with those two shades, but it’s not even close to urban Decay-level fallout.

Don’t be intimidated by the blue and green

They’re much more wearable than I thought. If you aren’t into bold colors, you could wear the satiny golden brown and matte tan on your lids, then line your lash lines with either the navy or the teal, which is what I’ve usually been doing when I wear this.

Another lovely, very wearable Chanel quad.

“Dracarys!”

OK, game of Throne-ers, I don’t know how man episodes are left this season (one or two?), but I’m already going through got withdrawals… This season’s been one for the ages so far!

Connor’s new nickname is “Baby of Dragons,” by the way.

Oh, and whenever I’m out and about now and someone busts an @sshole move, like when they see me walking right behind them into a doorway, but instead of being polite and holding the door open, they let the door slam me in the face, I loudly proclaim “Dracarys!” with lots of bass in my voice.

Hei, kjære!
Blant andre forbløffende ting jeg har oppdaget i de siste ukene … forstod du at når Silent Film Starlets ville ha på seg leppestift på kamera på 1920-tallet, ville leppestiftet registrere seg som svart på film? Også, selv om kanskje mindre interessant, har jeg endelig funnet ut at nøkkelen til riktig å bruke avtale med masker er – trommelen, vær så snill å lese bøker!

For alvorlig.

ANNONSE

Ja jeg vet. Deal med masker har mange hudfordeler, spesielt for kombinasjonshud som min, men jeg loathe venter på dem å tørke siden det føles som det er så mange andre viktige ting jeg trenger å gjøre, som å plotte for å ordne ekteskapet i Idris Elba, så vel som Beyoncé så de kan til slutt omfavne meg, så vel som gjør alle drømmene mine til virkelighet.

Hvis jeg bruker en maske før jeg setter meg ned for å lese, skjønt? Å, mann, tiden flyr, så vel som huden min er mye bedre for det!

Masken jeg har treffet bøkene med i det siste (vurderinger nedenfor) er av opprinnelse.

Og siden lesing er grunnleggende …

Glassskogen av Cynthia Swanson

Oh, gosh, so good! – Men ikke begynn å lese det før sengetid siden du vil ende opp med å holde opp metoden din fortid din sengetid. This suspenseful tale tells the story of the three women of the Glass household — Angie, Ruby as well as Silja.

Handlingen starter høsten 1960 når Silja mangler, så vel som Rubys far forplikter seg til selvmord dypt i skogen av upstate New York. Angie, Ruby’s tante, mener at hun reiser fra hennes Wisconsin House til New York for å ta vare på, så vel som trøst hennes niese, men hun finner mørke glass husholdningenes triks i stedet …

Jeg er nesten rev med sidene så vel som var selv lokket til å unngå fremover, så vel som sjekket ut de siste kapitlene før du fullførte boken (som jeg aldri, noensinne gjør). That’s exactly how desperately I needed to discover out what occurs at the end.

Highly suggested reading for your next long flight since the time will fly! Ha ha.

Mrs. Fletcher by Tom Perrotta

This comedy is firmly on the schmexy side, as well as it’s written by the exact same person who composed election (yup, the movie with Reese Witherspoon!). Eve Fletcher is a mid-40s divorcee dealing with an empty nest, as well as Brendan is her hard-partying son who leaves for college.

Both characters have a difficult time adjusting to their new lives, as Eve establishes an unforeseen addiction to a naughty website, as well as Brendan stumbles as well as struggles with the very first few weeks av hans freshman år.

Skriftens vittige, så vel som det er en rekke saucy scener der jeg skrek, “Åh, nei de gjorde det ikke!” Hele tiden jeg holdt lurer på, “vil hun? Vil ikke hun? ” I tillegg til de sidene, holdt de a’turnin ‘.

Elv under veien av Scott Spencer

Denne karakterdrevne fortellingen oppfyller to par hvis liv krysser i New York på 70-tallet, så vel som 80-tallet.

Selv om det er frodige, nydelige passasjer, kunne jeg ikke koble til noen form for tegnene i denne boken. Jeg hadde en vanskelig tid med dette så vel som ikke overflaten det. Jeg følte at det ofte rambled … sakte … Jeg sier Unngå det.

Makeup is a type of magic. Our eyeshadows as well as lipsticks as well as blushes are contemporary day potions, as well as our makeup brushes are like magic wands. as well as when we sit down to put on our face, in a way, there’s a bit of actual mysticism involved, since there is that element of transforming oneself. I believe the coven of cosmetic enthusiasts at Rituel de Fille most likely likewise see it that way.

I’m using the Ash as well as Ember Eye Soots in Viscera, night shade as well as serpent de Mer; in addition to Frenzy blush as well as Bittersweet Lipstick
Rituel de Fille (pronounced “ritoo-el-day-fee”) is a relatively new indie makeup brand. They’ve been around since 2015, however in that time, they’ve done some truly great things.

Their approach to makeup? — minimize components (99% natural as well as no fillers) as well as maximize the pigment, so there are lots of punchy colors as well as products with short component lists. Their makeup is made without synthetic dyes, fragrances or parabens, as well as it’s all cruelty-free. They aren’t a vegan line, though, since a few of their products do have beeswax as well as lanolin in them.

They listing all of their components on their website, which is great since a great deal of brands, particularly bigger brands, aren’t always transparent about that type of thing.

The brand is offered around the U.S. now, in addition to on the internet at ritueldefille.com as well as credobeauty.com.

The packaging
I get a witchy, astrological vibe from them, as well as I believe that’s what they’re aiming for. The founders are three sisters (they phone call themselves “The Ramos Sisters”).

Here’s a photo of them from their website pouring what appears like magic fairy dust…

The Ramos Sisters (P.S. I would like to petition to ended up being the fourth Ramos Sister)
They look like three super great gals who listen to Stevie Nicks as well as have most likely seen The Craft a hundred times. perhaps they have a trick space in their home where they keep all of their like potions (because in the story I just made up in my mind, they all online together in a ramshackle Victorian, obviously).

I’ve tested a few pieces from the line, as well as the Ash as well as Ember Eye Soots ($38 each) truly stand out. They’re pigments held together with a touch of oil, so they have a consistency somewhere between a cream as well as a powder.

The Ash as well as Ember Eye Soots, clockwise from the red jar on the left: Viscera, night shade as well as serpent de Mer
They are available in jars with an opening that’s about the width of a fingertip, which is great, since they’re designed to be used with a fingertip (or a flat eyeshadow clean or angled liner brush). You just press down to pick up a few of the product, however since the opening of the jar is narrow, you’re required to apply downward pressure, as opposed to swiping your finger back as well as forth.

They state that it’s the very best method to get the product out of the packaging as well as onto your lids.

The Ash as well as Ember Eye Soot in Viscera…

The shadows, which are simple to blend as well as extremely pigmented, are available in a lot of different colors, as well as even the darker colors don’t have any type of fallout. just for fun, the other night before I washed my face, I took dark red Viscera as well as dark purple night shade as well as did this intense smoky eye. I didn’t notice any type of after effects whatsoever.

The Ash as well as Ember Eye Soots from the left in Viscera, night shade as well as serpent de Mer
I wouldn’t phone call them waterproof, however they’re extremely long-wearing. To take them off, I gotta bust out the huge guns — either oil-based makeup removers or eye makeup removers that are produced waterproof.

And the surface is perfection. The astronomically fine pigment bits make them look almost glossy, as well as now I want every single shade! KJÆRLIGHET.

Inner glow cream blush in Frenzy
I likewise like the inner glow cream Blushes ($24 each). like the Eye Soots, they’re versatile. You can utilize ’em as blushes, eyeshadow and/or lipstick.

The shade I’ve tried, Frenzy, is a dark burgundy, which I’ve mainly used as a blush, as well as it’s crazy pigmented.

Inner glow cream blush in Frenzy
As for the Lip Sheers ($21 each), they’re…interesting. The ting er, de er tørrere enn jeg forventet.

Leppestifter i bittersøt, rue, whitehorn samt natt vandrer
Jeg må jobbe dem tilbake så vel som over mine lepper for å varme og myke dem opp siden de føler seg stive i aller første, så vel som ikke har mye glide til dem. Jeg liker akkurat hvor jevnt de søker når du får dem på, så vel som at de ikke ser super tunge ut.

De smaker så vel som lukt svakt av bivoks og lavendel, så vel som de ikke tørker ut leppene mine (selv om jeg ikke ville gå så langt som å ringe dem fuktighetsgivende).

YOUR brows smell like WHAT NOW?!
I hope you’ll be able to forgive Ryan Gosling after he announces in us weekly that he’s leaving his baby mama (a.k.a. Eva Mendes) for me, because after he gets a whiff of my eyebrows, he’s going to realize that he can’t live without K-Dawg.

The too faced chocolate Brow-nie Brow Pencil has been available for a while, but I’ve just tried it, and I tried it because, well…brownies.

It comes in four cocoa powder-infused shades — Taupe, Auburn, Soft brown and Deep brown (I wear Deep Brown) — and why too faced made a decision to go next level and give them a chocolatey brownie scent, I do not know… but it’s certainly a great touch, considering that brows are normally the most boring part of makeup for me, and the scent gives them a little a lot more pizzazz.

FYI, the fragrance isn’t overwhelming. It’s not like you’re sitting in a closet alone with 10,000 brownies (although I wouldn’t object to that). It’s very faint, and you can only really smell it when you get the pencil idea all up in your nostrils.

From the top: Taupe, Auburn, Soft brown and Deep Brown

The pencils have an angled flat idea on one end and a spoolie on the other, and yay for the flat shape, because that indicates that I can fill in large swaths of brow area with a few quick flicks of my wrist! Also, whoop-whoop to the level of semi-saturated pigment, which is similar to my holy grail brow pencils at the moment, MAC Brow Sculpt (a.k.a. the Tom Ford brow pencil dupe).

Yes, that’s a good thing because it makes it easy to control how much color I lay down in those sparse spots.

I like these pencils a lot, but I still like the MAC one, because when I get really nitpick-y with a magnifying mirror, I can see the product holding on to some areas of my skin a lot more than others. It’s not obvious, though, from a few feet away, so I still say these are a “go,” and I can still recommend them for someone trying to find a cruelty-free brow-filling option.
