Chanel CC Cream Review + Demonstration

Before 

After 

I'd like to start out my post saying that I am sorely disappointed that Chanel only released one shade of this product. There is only one color, Beige 20. The shade is certainly not universal nor even close to being universal. It will only match a very, very small percentage of women. This product would be immensely better and sell immensely better if it catered to every woman and not a select range. That being said, I absolutely love the formula and how it meshes with my skin. It's slightly too dark on me, so it doesn't really cater to the very fair-toned women either; however, the texture is able to blend enough into my skin to be wearable. It applies like silk, it lasts all day, and it feels very light. It provides that perfect "no-makeup makeup look"; I look fresh-faced and dewy, it appears very natural. If you are in the light skin tone range, give this product a try. If it doesn't work, Nordstrom has a fantastic return policy. However, Chanel really needs to rethink only releasing one shade. It's pretty sad when such a leading brand in cosmetics can't be wearable and accessible to every woman that wants to try it. I posted my video review where I demonstrate how the product applies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWGCD_THOSQ

Oceanic Aquamarine Makeup

The inspiration for this look comes directly from the water in the ocean. From the deep blue marine tones to the light aqua seafoam washing up with every wave, this look is an ode to the ocean. I paired it with a coral red-orange lip to accent the blue-green color scheme on the eyes. I couldn't help myself and painted my nails with the new Deborah Lippmann color, "Mermaid's Dream", it was too perfect for this makeup. I had to snap a couple of pictures of my nails with the makeup, and as you can see, the combination is a match made in heaven. This look is eye-catching and ideal for a fun summer night.
