Giorgio Armani Eye Tints Review, Photos, Swatches [Obsidian, Gold Ashes, Shadow, Émeraude, Cold Copper, Green Iron] + Complete Look

Giorgio Armani's lovely new Eye Tints ($38 USD each) were inspired by the Maestro foundation, blending smoothly for a "no makeup" feel. I have been testing them for a few weeks now, and it is positively one of my favorite 2015 beauty launches thus far. We are seeing the 'fluid' trend build even more momentum in both eye and lip departments, and the improving performance of the products make it clear the trend is not going away any time soon! I tend to wear a lot of highlighter shades and less impact color like purple or navy eyeshadow, so I was very excited to see the fun yet wearable shade lineup. All swatches and a complete eye look are after the jump!

Chanel Summer 2014 Reflets D'Été Makeup Haul, Review, Photos, Swatches

Chanel's new collection did not initially wow me, but I have grown to love all the products! I first purchased the Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation [review and swatches HERE] with the Vivacite blush first, which hit counters before the official Summer 2014 releases. Once the nail polishes and glosses launched, I picked up Sweet Lilac and Happy as well as the Ambre Dore eyeliner.

Gloss is HELLO [not Happy]

I knew I wouldn't be disappointed, but I am so glad I went back for the Mirage Illusion D'Ombre cream eyeshadow and the other two nail polishes. I, however, put filming the video on hold because I was patiently waiting for the new Les Beiges Multi-Color to launch! I had heard a few negative reviews about it, but it is totally awesome!! It is smooth, creamy, and has more than generous color pay-off on my light-medium skin tone. I highly recommend it, as it is actually a smidgen more pigmented than my original Les Beiges in 30.

Typo: Gloss is HELLO!

The nail polishes in this line-up do not look exceptional, but all 3 of my purchases have the invisible shimmer that Chanel Le Vernis are famed for. You can only catch the shimmer at certain angles, but it is such a fun little surprise! I despise using flash in my photos since it looks quite harsh and highlights fingerprints, but it did manage to capture the shimmer well. My favorite of the Summer collection is Pink Tonic, but Tutti Frutti and Sweet Lilac are must-haves, too!
