Switching to Festive Mood – Welcome back Red Lipstick!

01 Tuesday Dec 2015

One thing you’ll be seeing a lot in my upcoming blog posts is a red lip. Yes, I finally ditched my dark lipsticks in favour of the festive colours! But it’s THAT time of the year… and I can’t help it! 

The fact that I love a good red lip it’s not an actual surprise for anyone at this points and if you’ve been with me for at least one year, you definitely know that I absolutely love my reds all year round… But especially at this time of the year I do think that a gorgeous red lip can easily switch you into the festive mood. It happens to me, at least…

Well, the fact that I own quite a few red lipsticks, which I love to death sure ailments constantly my red lips obsession! It seems to enter into some sort of a hibernation state with the first signs of Spring but it makes a strong comeback at the beginning of December!…

I do feel that Christmas is the perfect time of the year to really done a red lip and it’s been a tradition of mine for the past couple of years to scout for “the perfect holiday red”… that I always end up wearing until the first signs of Spring! 

Here you have a couple of the reds I already own in my collection, some of which will be featured in an upcoming Blog Sale… a Blog Sale I’ve been “menacing” you with since last Summer ( ?!?!???!!!! ). Well, it will be up soon, I promise and I sure hope you will help me find new homes for some of my beloved lippies! 

In the meanwhile here they are! Some of my favourite reds of last festive season and some that I discovered this year too!…

Seasonal Favourites Summer 2015

IMG_2950.

Summer 2015 is gone now so here you have the items that made it memorable!

I want to keep it short and sweet and I will stick to “what” those were and “why” I loved them.

IMG_2951.

Beauty:

  • natural lipsticks with a bit of an oomph: the easiest to wear lip product ever the Tom Ford Seer in Smitten, plus Skinnydip and Rose Soleil from the Tom Ford 2015 Summer Collection, because Tom Ford makeup should be called “art” – period, Charlotte Tilbury Coachella Coral lipstick paired with the most amazing lip liner in Pink Venus or the infamous Pillow Talk for a more neutral look
  • bold lips made possible with a gorgeous NARS Audacious “girl” named Michiyo
  • and the ultimate fiery-red, bold, gloriously sexy and my latest obsession in terms of red lips: the Kendall Jenner X Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy Matte, in Restless ( yes, that little treasure came in my possession… But more about that story soon, my lovelies! )
  • cream eyeshadows ruled my mornings and again, Tom Ford stole the show with this gorgeous Golden Peach shade, and a glorious come back of my favourite cream eyeshadow sticks – the By Terry Ombre Blackstars in 3 golden-brown variations: Blond Opal, Golden Brown and Brown Perfection ( I need to write a decent review on these as well, don’t you think my lovelies? )

IMG_2953.

  • sticking up to the “cream products” theme, they definitely were the main attraction of this Summer for me. From amazing blushers – like this gorgeous Tom Ford Pink Sand ( a Limited Edition item unfortunately! ), to cream highlighters and easy-to-use contours like the Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow Duo, everything worked its magic to achieve my perfect bronzed and glowy / healthy-looking Summer skin.

imageimage

Skincare:

  • the one product that gave me amazing skin unconditionally was the Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil… And of course, sunscreen with the highest protection factor. You did wore your sunscreen as well Beautiful, didn’t you!?

image

Perfume this year was the easiest of choices for me

  • if the new Tom Ford Shimmering Body Oil came into my life with its sensual, sexy summer scent I hardly wore my other perfumes
  • but when I did, I revisited two old favourites: my Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien – the fragrance that brings me on an imaginary olfactorial trip to the Southern Italy every time I wear it
  • and one of my old time favourites: my Chanel No. 5 Eau Première

IMG_2952.

Tools I couldn’t put down, beside my regular Tom Ford and Hakuhodo army of brushes… the NARS Yachyio Kabuki Brush one item that had waited on the top of my wish list for way too long! Still available on the NARS European website! 

Fashion favourites:

  • Musette Nude Laila Flats currently on sale, international shipping available
  • Musette Evergreen Ivoire Purse currently on sale, international shipping available
  • H&M Flowy Midi Skirt you’ll definitely see in a blog post soon.

Here they are, my fantastic collection of Summer 2015 Favourites! 

Now please, share yours!

See you soon, Beautiful!

Autumn report: My 2015 Must-Haves

22 Tuesday Sep 2015

IMG_2948.

Even if I’m beyond happy that we’re having a long Summer here in Romania, I can’t help myself but wearing those gorgeous Autumn colours… Deep browns, burnt oranges and all the reds of the spectrum have already replaced the bronzy, golden shades of this past Summer.

Here you have some of my Autumn 2015 must-haves!

Of course the first change you’ll notice will be my lipstick choice! From bold, neon-y Summer reds or glossy pinks and oranges, my picks will gravitate towards brown-ish nudes, deep reds and earthy oranges. Some of my picks are: my Tom Ford Lip Colour Shine in #05 Bare – the perfect transitional shade since it is a brown nude shade with some sparkles, the Burberry Lip Glow Nude Beige No.9 – can you tell I don’t want to let go Summer yet?!, an old favourite of mine the Givenchy Le Rouge in #103 Brun Createur, the Charlotte Tilbury Walk of Shame a gorgeous Autumn colour with one the most comfortable matte formulation I have ever tried, another Burberry option – the Lip Cover Ruby No.18 because I can’t live without my reds, the Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy in #450 Insolent Plum another favourite from last year and a new discovery thanks to my lovely Janet, who was kind enough to send it over from across the Ocean – the Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Sable.

Deeper and darker nail polish colours are must-haves for Autumn. My two favourites are Dior Nuit 1947 ( #970 ) and Mirage (#338 ), previously reviewed here.

Another must have is perfume. I’ll transition from fresh, zesty, floral perfumes like my Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien and my Chanel No.5 Eau Première to the deeper, dusty floral oriental notes of the Diptyque 34 BVLD Saint-Germain or the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae Forte.

This Autumn I have a thing with hats! I love this Zara Narrow Brim Wool Hat that goes with everything and makes every outfit look classy and chic. More options here.

I won’t let go my favourite sunnies just yet, so I will always have with me my Ray Ban Aviators. A cult favourite piece.

IMG_2949.

Another must-have is a classic, timeless watch and my choice is my Daniel Wellington Classy Sheffield watch, which you can get for yourself with a 15% off, just by entering anniesbeautyblog discount code before check out! Available until 30 September 2015 – so hurry up! More details here!

Another fashion must-have is funky shoes! Whenever I have the chance, I give up on my heels gladly just to wear this Lust of Creation crazy orange coloured oxfords, that are extremely comfortable and unique.

These are a few things I will definitely wear a lot this season! What are your must-haves, my lovelies?

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx, Annie

 

 

 

PS: Thank you so much for the warmest welcome back! Thank you for sticking with me until now! Thank you for being the most amazing friends one can ask for! Thank you for your constant support and nicest words! You are my strength, my rock and my source of energy! And I’m grateful for that and to have met each and every one of you here on WordPress!

The Lipstick Tag 2.0… a.k.a. The Confessions of a Lipstick Hoarder Tag

30 Saturday May 2015

FAIR WARNING!!! Brace yourself, because this is going to be EPIC!

I haven’t had this much fun playing Tag since the beginnings of annie’s beauty…! I already did a Lipstick Tag back then, and what I called “my lipstick collection” at that moment, has now transformed into something… let’s just call it “intense“!?

So thank you my lovelies bloggers and friends Katie, the creative mind behind Plus+ Beauty and Zoe from Zoe Beauty Blog for bringing back sweet memories from my early blogging days!

[ For Rules and all that boring stuff head over these girls blogs, read them there and make sure you say “Hi!”, from you… and from me as well! ]

[ To see my first Lipstick Tag, click here! ]

photo 4 copy

Now let’s do this!

The Questions:

1. How many lipsticks do you own?

First time I did this Tag I had and I quote: “35-ish”, after a Spring cleaning – which btw, I thought it was decent. Now, two Spring cleanings later and an Autumn one in between, I have to report that “35-ish” became A LOT more, an amount of lipsticks that’s outrageous to be owned by any women and it should be considered felony…

2. What was your first ever lipstick?

For the answer to this question I will have to cordially invite you to read my previous Lipstick Tag! It’s still the same answer!?!?!?

3. What is your most worn lipstick?

At the moment?…

The Charlotte Tilbury Coachella Coral and the NARS Audacious Lipstick in Juliette. And maybe Tom Ford Bare…

4. What is your favourite brand for lipsticks?

Tom Ford… to a pretty tie with Charlotte Tilbury.

5. What is your favourite finish?

I used to love creamy sheers, but now I adore the creamy, non-drying mattes like the Tom Ford Matte Lipsticks, the Charlotte Tilbury MATTE Revolution Lipsticks and finishes like the NARS Audacious Lipsticks.

6. What is the last lipstick you bought?

The Tom Ford Skinnydip and Rose Soleil from the Summer 2015 Soleil Collection, ( see the preview of it here ).

7. How many lip products do you currently have in your bag?

The Dior Balm Reviver, the Charlotte Tilbury Lip-Cheat Lip Pencil Pink Venus and the lipstick Coachella Coral, Tom Ford Sheer in Bare and Skinnydip… and that would be it!

8. What lipstick do you use to rock a red lip?

Now that’s the worst question of all! It should have been: “What lipstickS do you use to rock a red lip?” Because…

… I have Tom Ford Flame, Tom Ford Crimson Noir, Tom Ford Wild Ginger, Tom Ford Lips&Boys Alejandro and Adriano, Chanel Arthur, Charlotte Tilbury So Marilyn, Burberry Ruby, Dior Rouge #999, Givenchy Carmin Escarpin, Estée Lauder Impassioned, Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy Downtown, Shiseido Laquer Rouge Drama… ( see swatches in the “Photo Gallery” – LOL?! – below )

To name a few!… Can you tell I love reds?!?!?!

You asked for it remember?!

9. How do you store your lipsticks?

The storage systems from Ikea still do all the hard work for me.

10. What lip products are you currently lusting over?

Some Gucci lipsticks and some Dolce and Gabbana Mattes ( see preview on those here ) would definitely tickle my senses!

So this is it for now!

I tag Jacquie ( use a nasal French accent while reading that! ), Janet and Josie, Serene and Anne ( I know you already did this Anne! ) to do this tag as well! And of course, everyone else who wants to!

I hope you had fun reading my version of The Lipstick Tag a.k.a. The Confessions of a Lipstick Hoarder Tag!

See you soon, beautiful!

xx, Annie

CHANEL’s 2015 new reformulated Rouge Coco #440 ARTHUR

I am no stranger from the Chanel rouges and I’m pretty sure you aren’t either… But I have to admit that, from all the lipstick lines in the Chanel beauty collection the Rouge Cocos were my least favourite.

I always found the formula to be less creamy and difficult to apply, because of its patchiness and lack of pigment. I wasn’t a huge fan of the colour palette either… And the fact that most of the shades were literally a glitter feast!… I had quite a few shades which I passed on to my mom and my friends, and I kept only one # 20 Rose Comète – which I barely use anyway!

When I’ve heard the news that Chanel is going to completely revamp the formula of these lipsticks along with their names, I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best! And I was not disappointed…

The new lipstick formula it somewhere in between the Rouge Coco Shines which are one of the most loved Chanel lipsticks in my collection ( I have a full post dedicated to them, here ) and which are very shiny and lightweight and then the Rouge Allures which are quite full and opaque and tend to be quite matte ( read my thoughts on this amazing Rouge Allure in La Diva, here )…

I obviously went for a red first!

image

#440 Arthur is described as a “luminous red”, a medium-dark, orange-red with warm undertones and a bright, glossy finish. It has a pretty opaque coverage even on my already pigmented lips, it’s creamier that the old Rouge Cocos, which I always found a bit too dry for my liking. Maybe that’s why it glides on so evenly and smoothly. It goes on in a thin layer, a slightly translucent layer though. It is hydrating enough not to dry my lips and lasted for a good couple of hours without the need of reapplying it! It also fades in a decent manner and by the end of the day I could still see a bit of red pigment/colour stain on my lips! 

image

It was the only colour I wore on my lips for the few couple of days I spent in Milan last month, and I managed to get so many compliments on it!

Even if this is a gorgeous, gorgeous red, it is the type of color that is easily dupable though! There are so many easy dupes that might only vary by finish or by undertones, some being slightly more orange or blue, or by opacity… But the colour family is just up there!

Here you have some of the dupes for #440 Arthur, I already had in my collection…

There are 29 vibrant shades in the hydrating new formula of Rouge Coco Lip Colour that wait to be discovered. They are named after Coco Chanel and the friends, artists and lovers who inspired her. Five colour ranges celebrate her intimate circles. Every shade tells a story… A colourful expression of Mademoiselle’s life and legend.

Have you found the shade you love yet?

INTERESTING FACTS:

  • ARTHUR, Arthur “Boy” Capel was Gabrielle’s first, one and only love and the man who helped her open her first store in Deauville! He died at a relatively young age ( 38 ), in a car crush, right before Christmas… Coco was devastated! All her bibliographers say that she never got to love another man the way she loved him! In the Rouge Coco Shines “he” is the very well known and loved shade Boy.

  • two of my favourite Chanel biographies: The Gospel According to Coco Chanel by Karen Karbo and L’Irrégulière ou Mon Itinéraire Chanel by Edmonde Charles-Roux ( Anne, this one is for you! )

  • another recommendation: in 2009, was launched the movie Coco avant Chanel based on the L’Irrégulière ou mon itinéraire Chanel by Edmonde Charles-Roux, with Audrey Tatou playing Chanel

  • Here you have the five colour families inspired by Coco Chanel and those close to her who actually used to call her “Coco”:

  1. her LOVERS – Passion reflected by dramatic reds: #444 Gabrielle, #440 Arthur, #442 Dimitri and #446 Etienne

  2. her FAMILY – A tribute in understated nude shades: #402 Adrienne, #400 Louise,  #404 Julia, #406 Antoinette and #408 Jeanne

  3. her BEST FRIENDS – Celebrated by romantic pinks: #420 Vera, #422 Olga, #432 Cécile, #434 Mademoiselle, #436 Maggy and #438 Suzanne

  4. her MUSES – An homage in bright corals #410 Catherine, #412 Téhéran, #414 Sari Doré, #416 Coco and #418 Misia

  5. her favourite ARTISTS – Honored by deep plum shades: #448 Elise, #450 Ina, #452 Emilienne, #454 Jean and #456 Erik

Recent launches I absolutely couldn’t resist!… feat. Chanel, Dior, Guerlain, Burberry and NARS

03 Tuesday Mar 2015

Burberry, Burberry Eye Colour Silk Wet & Dry Eyeshadows, Burberry Eye Colour Silk Wet & Dry Eyeshadows #200 Tea Rose and #201 Rose Pink, chanel, Chanel Rouge Coco #440 Arthur, dior, Dior Diorskin Nude Air Nude Healthy Glow Ultra-Fluid Serum Foundation SPF 25 - PA++ #010 Ivory, Dior Vernis #244 Majesty, guerlain, Guerlain Météorites Compact Light-Revealing Powder #4 Doré, NARS, NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation, NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation Light 3 Gobi

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…

image

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…

image

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!

3. Dior Vernis #244 Majesty

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 ).

image

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…

annie's beauty... BURBERRY makeup

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.

 image

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!
