Chanel Summer 2012 Review + Tutorial Product List

Be warned: this video review is veryyyy long, longer than usual because I had so many products to cover. And the more I use my Chanel Summer products, the more I love them. I haven't been so happy with Chanel make-up since last Spring! I think I might even go back a purchase a back-up of the bronzer, not the glossimer as I stated in the video, because that's how much I've been using it. The eyeshadow duo is also one of the best eyeshadows Chanel has released in ages, too! This collection is 100% worth the splurge.. I love EVERY product I purchased and it has been a while since I could wholeheartedly say that about any collection. Definitely try Lancome's new pink waterproof Artliner, too! It's a paler pink (less fuchsia), more glittery version of Urban Decay's Woodstock :)

Dior Croisette Summer 2012 [Tangerine Trend] + Review Video Details

What a surprise.. Dior was the first designer brand to release the summer collection. For once, it was not Chanel! I was quite pleased with the color selections as well as the varied product line-up. I hope you find the tutorial helpful! I tried several different eye looks before I decided on the one I chose to show. You can also use the ivory all over the lid and use the gold, orange, and brown to create a more dramatic cut crease look! If you have any questions about the products shown or used, please refer to my comprehensive post (lots of swatches) on the complete Dior Croisette Collection for Summer 2012 HERE!

I adore the Summer 2012 make-up by Dior. The campaign ad above only shows the gorgeous turquoises of the Croisette collection, but it is actually a beautiful mix of warm and cool tones. The products are growing on me with each use, absolutely adore my purchases! There is something for everyone, and I will go through all the products that were available at my local Nordstrom, as well as outline my top picks below.
