Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Boy

Sometimes we go beauty addicts to great lengths to get our hands on something new. It was the case for me with Chanels new Rouge Coco Shine Boy ($ 32). I had reserved it on my local Nordstrom when taught that Nordstrom would have them available on February 10. Then learned that none of the Nordstrom stores in my area would receive it so I called the store in Coral Gables, Florida, to order it-and it arrived right on time. I have unfortunately had to pay $ 10 for shipping to get a $ 32 lipstick. They sent the UPS in an envelope, making money on shipping (something that always annoys me).

Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine, the company's latest lip colours from Peter Philips, Chanels Creative Director for Makeup, is a fresh, delightfully sheer and illuminating new lipstick. Chanel has interrupted my old favorite, Aqualumiére, and it is its replacement. When I heard that Aqualumiére was history, started I buy any shades, I could find. I liked it so much I bought the shadows, there weren't t perfect. I could not imagine life without Aqualumiére. Now can. Rouge Coco Shine is a beautiful, lasting, moisturizing, sheer, shiny lip color with an incredible easy texture. It is completely different from Rouge Coco, a highly the lip color.

I am all about it, from thin tube to the mere Shine. This is a fabulous lipstick. I can't wait until April, when the line full of shades are available at Chanel counters.

Boy, a limited-release shadow, was launched for Valentine's day to honor a great love story. Boy is the nickname of Arthur "Boy" Capel, who was the love of Coco Chanels life, her partner and guardian angel. He called on the Cocos first venture into hat making, lending of her money to open her first milliner studio in 1910 on the rue Cambon in Paris. It was her romance with Boy Capel, who inspired male energy she put in her iconic wardrobe. She borrowed his pyjamas, jackets and straw lystsejlere and made them its own.

Boy is a lovely, warm rose shadow. I found my photo on the right indoor in direct light, but not full sunlight. It shows the gorgeous shade, and you can even watch beautiful glimpse. This is a definite keeper. I would buy another in April safe. I am also sure, I will do a "full time" through all shades of gray instant they arrive in stores. I am smitten.

We are fortunate that boy face in April. It has been taken on Chanels site. I do not know if you still can get your hands on it at Nordstrom. It was supposed to be available only from February 10 through 14.
