CND Vinylux Long Wear Polish Chic Shock Collection - with swatches!

CND Vinylux Long Wear Polish Chic Shock collection - $12.50 - inspired by South Korean K-Pop culture trend, which is filled with a mix of girly and urban makeup looks, an overload of doll cheeks and plump lips dripping in sugary pinks and lilacs - I prefer to think of them as Easter inspired - if these aren't Easter egg and jelly bean colours, I don't know what is! 

Either way enjoy four new boldly sweet shades:  

Candied

Taffy

Jellied

Gummi

The collection is available in the Vinylux Long Wear Polish for 7 days of chip-resistant wear as well as Shellac Gel Polish for 14+ days of high-performance wear.

Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Blush - with swatches

Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Blush Hydrating Lip and Cheek Sheer Colour - $37 - in 6 shades: 410 Corail Naturel, 412 Orange Explosif, 414 Tender Rose, 416 Teasing Pink, 418 Rouge Captivant, 420 Burning Berry - a lightweight 2-in-1 lip and cheek blush designed with a buildable formula for a sheer to intense effect, a perfectly matte finish and enriched with hydraboost complex and a natural coconut oil derivative for immediate and continuous hydration. The dual-sided applicator ensures high precision, even coverage on lips, while the soft gel-touch formula delivers a customizable result on cheeks.

Application is easy, for lip colour, apply blush with the dual-sided applicator for even, precise coverage. For cheek colour, use the dual-sided applicator to dot blush onto the apples of cheeks and use fingertips to blend colour outwards, layering until you reach the desired intensity.

Corail Naturel

Burning Berry 

Don't worry if you don't think the colour is deep enough on the first application, the shades are very buildable, just add another layer - and for the cheeks expect a very healthy look, not only will they give you colour, you also get a bit of a glow at the same time!
