They keep throwing new products on the beauty market casually, as if for them it’s just another day at the office!
Well, it definitely is… But for my poor-frail-beauty addict self resisting such amazing beauty goodies gets harder and harder every season, with every collection, with every smallest release!…
Here you have the makeup products that caught my eye and I had to have, that were released these past two months since the beginning of 2015…
1. Chanel Rouge Coco #440 Arthur
My first high end lipstick was a Chanel one.
There was a time when the Chanel lipsticks were the only ones I used for my lips. I loved the Coco Shines and the Rouge Allures, but I was never drawn to their Rouge Coco’s.
When I’ve heard about the new, reformulated ones I immediately went on the selfridges.com website and got myself a gentlemen: #440 Arthur. He kept me company while in Milan, and we had such great time together.
“Monsieur Arthur” will have his own complete review soon! I’m sure you can’t wait to meet him as well…
2. Dior Diorskin Nude Air Nude Healthy Glow Ultra-Fluid Serum Foundation SPF 25 – PA++ #010 Ivory
I’ve been waiting for this one to be released for what it seems like forever. Actually when I first heard of it was when I actually blogged about its launching soon…
I love lightweight foundations and Dior did an amazing job with their foundations lately, so I couldn’t wait to be able to give this one a go too! Do I love it?! I guess you will find out in a post coming up soon!
From the Dior Spring 2015 Kingdom of Colours nothing caught my eye, so I decided to go for Majesty. I adore the formula of their nail polishes as you might have seen from my previous posts ( here , here, here aaaand here ), and where there are no new launches in a collection that I’m particularly interested in, the nail polishes are my safe choice.
From this collection I wanted the Dior Diorblush #536 Peach Splendor ever since I blogged about it being used by Peter Philips in the Ready-to-Wear S/S 2015 Colection makeup looks, but that one was nowhere to be found.
I might also go back and get the nail polish in Glory and the Dior Rouge Dior Baume Belle de Printemps ( see post here ).
3. Guerlain Météorites Compact Light-Revealing Powder #4 Doré
I’m very much aware of the hype around the Guerlain Météorites Perles. They look so pretty, they smell amazing but for practical reasons, I just couldn’t justify buying them.
But when I saw these new colours, in compact form from the Spring 2015 Les Teindres Collection, I was instantly sold! I love my Guerlain mainly for their bronzers, which I kind of have a few… and love them all ( read about my Guerlain mini-collection of bronzers here, here and here ). So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I went for the darkest shade with the powders too, #4 Doré, which I intend to use as a flush of colour on my cheeks or as a light bronzer.
I’m highly tempted by #2 Fair, but I’m still debating on getting that one.
And weird enough I’m not attracted by their new Guerlain Météorites Perles de Blush Angelic Radiance…
4. Burberry Eye Colour Silk Wet & Dry Eyeshadows #200 Tea Rose and #201 Rose Pink
Burberry does the most amazing eyeshadows! They are so pigmented, they are buttery-soft but they apply and blend in with minimal-to-no fall out, and the colour selection is gorgeous! I have a few and I adore them!
The new Eye Colour Silk Wet & Dry Eyeshadows are no exception… But I already raved about them in this post here.
5. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation shade Light 3 Gobi
is another lightweight foundation which caught me completely off-guard! I didn’t expected it to match my complexion so well, to be so high-coverage and to really live up to what it claims to do… To resist on the face basically the entire day! Definitely recommend this one too! A full review with application details and swatches will be up soon!
What are your picks until now lovelies?
Wishing you an amazing Spring!
xx, Annie

Hi my lovely Anne!
I don’t know how the NARS Sheer Glow is because I’m always skeptical ordering foundation and concealer online. This one I got while in Milan and got matched there. Same with the Dior Nude Air!
“Arthur” is one of the best reds I currently have in my collection… which is not the smallest, as you may know by now! 🙈😅 But what makes the difference is definitely the formula!
But more about that and everything else in my upcoming reviews, starting Saturday! 😉
Lots of 😘😘😘

Ok, I am so turning into a miniature Annie clone… because I just bought Arthur. hihi, still a little giddy from the Chanel counter but I managed to walk away with just one lipstick (a minor miracle).
I never order foundation online, but got my Nars matched while I was in San Francisco…amazing service!

All her lipsticks have a story behind their names my lovely!
That’s what I loved about them in the first place too!
I love items that tell a story!
Have you red one of her many biographies?
It will be so easy to relate the name of her products with persons that influenced her, places she has been to and marked her life…
Take “Arthur” for instance! In the Rouge Coco Shines he is the very well known and loved Boy. Arthur was Gabrielle’s first, one and only love! And he died at a young age ( 32 ) if I’m not mistaking, in a car crush! And she never got to love another man the way she loved him!

Such an awfull story isn’t it?! I haven’t read the biographies (going on my list now, any favorites?) but I watched the Chanel movie that came out a couple of years ago.
She was such an amazing woman, way ahead of her time.

Yes this woman has to be an inspiration for so many of us! She lost her parents at such a young age, actually they sent her in a convent! She had to change her real name, the had to put up with so much dirt to be successful, to loose the one love of her life, and because after all that she still trusted people when she signed with COTY ( if I remember correctly ) they took almost all her financial rights!
Nope I haven’t seen the movie yet! 😕 I even forgot about it! Even if I adore Audrey Tatou! Thank you for reminding me!
As for some good biographies I will search a bit tomorrow and let you know the exact ones I loved! 😉xx

That would be great, would love that get some good tips on which biographies to pick 😀 No rush!
Yes, it is amazing. And on top of all of that personal tragedy, she managed to create such beautiful things that are still so on trend today. Way ahead of her time 🙂

Eager to see your review of the Dior foundation. I’ve yet to find a foundation that works for me, all traditional formulas look like plaster on my face, even the lightest one, so I have resigned myself to wearing tinted creams only. Not despairing though, this Dior might be the answer. Will wait for your review before trying it out.

And, NARS is spectacular. I really don’t think they make any products that are misses.

I’m very surprised by the quality of these new releases myself! Arthur is a gorgeous red so happy I was able to find it before the Rouge Cocos came to Romania!
Dior does some of the best foundation formulas in my opinion and lately they’ve nailed it with every release!
Burberry- you know I have a thing for this brand and especially for their eyeshadows! Nothing compares to these and definitely recommend them!
As for NARS, it’s a fairly recent discovery for me and there are still lots of products I want to try! And everything I have I really, really love! My absolute favourites are the Audacious lipsticks and the creamy concealer! What are your favourites? Any recommendations?
I also was so surprised of how amazing this Guerlain powder looks on the skin! I think that it’s even better than the pearls!
My week is ok! Nothing special except for me going to the gym as I already told you! And I can’t wait for the weekend! 😋
Beaucoup des bisous! 😊

I have the same NARS experience as you. I’m still getting aquatinted with the brand, but everything I have tried has been met my expectations. The Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is my go-to for my long shifts. It evens out my skin tone and never creases. It’s my perfect tinted moisturizer. I want to try the Diorskin BB Cream you and I were talking about recently. It sounds great! And, that Guerlain powder…. Guerlain is the epitome of luxe beauty. I can’t wait to go back to their Champs Elysées store.

Not to mention that tinted moisturisers and BB creams are the best for a natural look! The Dior BB Cream was the first BB cream I’ve ever bough ant I still love it, even now after so many years!
I’m hooked on NARS products too! Their Creamy Concealer is hands down my holy grail, the best I have ever tried this far!
As for Guerlain, the whole brand scrams luxury! BTW, since we’re talking BB creams, have you tried the Aqua Serum BB from Guerlain? They’ve launched last summer and it feels so lovely and hydrating on the skin! Check that one too! 😉
