Chanel Joues Contraste Rose Glacier

Rose Glacier is my first Joues Contraste. Since I did not have anything from the Joues Contraste family, I was decided to bring the safe color home, the color that foolproof to my liking. (My second pick is Alezane which is more unique in color)

Not saying much about the packaging anymore. I guess you all know already about it. A simple black case with the white logo in the middle. Incudes pouch and got mirror inside. You'll find applicator that is really helpful when you are on travelling or for touch up. Open the case and that Rosy Violet smell will hint your nose. The smell of Chanel products somehow comforts me.

The color is a pretty rosy color with golden shimmer. The color and the shimmer creates a wonderful effect on your skin. The shimmer is fine enough, so it will not turn too shiny or bling bling. 

The texture is not too buttery but definitely not dry. I think this has good formula for powder blushes. This blush is pigmented but not overpowering. So basically you can build it up in strokes and reach whatever you desire of with it. It also blend well and long lasting, about 6-7 hours without fix spray.

Sorry for the picture. This was taken before I finish my make up so you have to see my dry lips there.. But well, hope you like this post and get the idea of how this blush looks like on my light to medium skin. Thank you for reading.

Guerlain Rouge G Merveilleux Rose (867)

Holiday season is a busy time for me and my wallet. While I work harder than usual, my wallet is paying harder than usual too. I'm broke! Lol.. This time I managed to only buy my most wanted pieces. In Guerlain case, it must be the Meteorites and the Rouge G lipstick. I was contemplating about the powder but I decided not to buy it since I still have wishlist from another brand. If you curious about the Meteorites, I will post a review just after this post. Stay tuned!

Okay, back to Rouge G. I think this series has the most unique design among all lipstick that I own. While Chanel's RAV closure is already dupeable, I still haven't found another lipstick which has this kind of design like Rouge G.  The difference between the regular and holiday edition is only the holiday edition has pattern on the case while the regular don't.

It feels heavy in my hand, in fact maybe the heaviest lipstick that I have in term of packaging. Therefore it also feels so lux when I take this out for touch up. If you open the cap, it will automatically open the mirror inside the cap. The golden pin is playing role as the lock.

The color is a rosy pink and looks a bit dusty according to me. It is soft enough to be used in the morning and afternoon. This is easily loved and will definitely become my go-to lipstick.

I love the texture of Rouge G. It is so smooth and lightweight but still pigmented and quite long lasting looking at how soft the color that Merveilleux Rose has. It glides smoothly on my lips, sheer at first but buildable. The swatch I provide in this review is a double swipes. It last for more than five hours without F&B consumption. It has moisturizing formula which is so comfortable whole day.

If lipstick is a woman, I would say that Tom Ford has bold, fierce, and daring personality, Dior Addict is the fashionable and flexible one, Marc Jacobs is chic and independent, while this Rouge G is soft and elegant. 

So, officially my favorite lippies formula are now a Fantastic Four. Lol.. Do you have any favorite lippie formula?

Sephora Hydrating Powder Blush Icy Fuchsia and Romantic Rose

If you want a compact and middle-end blush, Sephora is one of the wide options out there. With crazy color selection, just get from the rack anything that has caught your eyes. I have my own rule whenever I have to face so many choices until I get confused. For me, the first one catching my eyes is (almost) always the one I like the most. So now, I'm sharing you about 2 of them.

Sephora products rarely have paper/card box packaging. They usually wrapped up in plastic seal. (For bag palette and blockbuster there is box for each of them). It is more simple and space friendly, but in the other side looks less luxurious and easy to get scratched on shipping.

The case is lightweight, made from hard plastic in black color. The lid is transparent in the center so basically we could see the blush color directly without opening it, and it is just an ordinary click-clack type. Each contains 3.2g of products.

Both of them quite pigmented. No need to give much effort to make them visible. You only need a good brush because brush has effect in matter of blending process. The texture is not buttery but not very dry either, so a good basic is needed. 

Icy Fuchsia is a bright Fuchsia that turned out to a beautiful pink on my skin. It looks really shimmery on pan, but it is actually wearable. The shimmer will stay in place if you wear a good basic before. It last for 4 to 6 hours on humid weather.

Romantic Rose is a soft rose color that is more to peach than pink. No visible shimmer in this color and it is a lot softer than Icy Fuchsia. Sadly this will not show up well on medium to dark skin. It last for 3 to 5 hours in humid weather. This is more blendable and softer but less buildable and less longlasting than Icy Fuchsia.

The swatch on the back of my hand only need 1x swipe.
