noreply@blogger.com (JAYDED DREAMS) — Wed, 3 Feb 2016 08:15:00 -0500

I am a huge fan of the original rouge coco shines so I am super excited to give these new rouge coco stylo lipshines a try. I will post swatches and let you know how they compare to the original. In addition to the lipshines Chanel has reformulated and re-released their le vernis nailpolishes. With fifteen gorgeous shades to choose from there are a few new shades and the rest are re-promotes. This collection also includes a new gel top coat! No UV lamp needed, just natural light to activate - now, how cool is that!

THE NEW COMPLETE CARE LIPSHINE AND LONGWEAR NAIL COLOUR

Introducing two new innovations in colour: ROUGE COCO STYLO offers the intensity of a lipstick, the shine of a lipgloss and the hydrating comfort of a lip balm — all in one creamy yet lightweight texture. Newly renovated with a 5-free formula, LE VERNIS features Bioceramics and Ceramides to improve the quality of nails, while delivering long-lasting, high-shine colour.

CHANEL LES SAUTOIRS DE COCO COLLECTION - NOW AVAILABLE AT NORDSTROM!

noreply@blogger.com (JAYDED DREAMS) — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:30:00 -0500

I absolutely adore the Les Sautoirs de Coco collection from Chanel! Typically Chanel will release a few select pieces from their Asia exclusive spring collection, such as this, for purchase online only. Then during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale the items will be available in-stores. However I just checked the Nordstrom website and the highlight powder is available online. Hopefully we will see this collection in store at Nordstrom beauty counters real soon but if you can't wait and you are a "must see in person before you buy" then two Chanel Boutiques (Chicago and New York) did receive the entire collection. So you might want to plan a quick trip there if you are in the area.

P.S. The gorgeous highlight powder (which is calling my name) is "FINALLY" back in stock and available for purchase.

Availability: Nordstrom, Chanel

Spring 2016 Color Collection – From Lancome With Love

SEPHORA LOYALTY REWARDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS - DEC 2015

noreply@blogger.com (JAYDED DREAMS) — Wed, 2 Dec 2015 08:00:00 -0500

Sephora Loyalty Rewards are finally arriving so start checking the mailbox and/or your email! The loyalty rewards are redeemable starting today, Dec 2nd and consist of $25 off purchase of $50 for VIB Rouge, $20 off purchase of $50 for VIB and $15 off purchase of $50 for BI (Beauty Insiders). The loyalty reward is good for a one-time use and doesn't expire until Dec 13th for BI and Dec 14th for VIB Rouge and VIBs (they're given an extra day to redeem theirs).

Here is a roundup of several beauty recommendations to use with your loyalty reward and a few items I am considering purchasing as well.

My latest makeup brand obsession is Burberry; especially their wet / dry silk shadows. I recently purchased three and am currently testing them. So far they have exceeded my expectations. These shadows have a silky texture and are incredibly soft to the touch. There are a total of eighteen to choose from and I am eager to purchase more. If you plan on purchasing any of these I recommend you do so now as they tend to sell out rather quickly.

For those that crave a subtle eye look I highly recommend the Lancome Auda(City) in Paris eyeshadow palette. The color selection in this palette is not over the top or super bright. It is more of a subtle wash of neutrals with a slight punch of color. This highly underrated palette houses sixteen gorgeous shadows with amazing staying power. See my full review and swatches here for reference.

A few lip products I have been dying to try are the Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro lip colors. They are a matte lip stain with a velvety soft texture. These are quite popular and over half the colors tend to stay sold out. I am most interested in trying 507, a mauve rosy pink and 508, a pink nude. Hopefully Sephora will restock these before the loyalty rewards end.

This next item launches on the Too Faced website Dec 8th, the Chocolate Bon Bons eyeshadow palette. The palette IS available online at Sephora during their loyalty rewards period. I have the original Too Face Chocolate Bar palette and it contains a mixture of warm and cool toned eyeshadows. While this new palette is rumored to be all cool toned shades. I've seen a few online swatches on Instagram and it seems to house quite a few pink shades.

My last two recommendations are the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette and the Marc Jacobs The Sofia Five Piece Petites Le Marc Lip Creme Collection. The first item, the UD eyeshadow palette, is limited-edition so I would purchase this now as it will definitely sell out. The palette itself was created and developed with Gwen Stefani. It houses 15 of her must-have shades with the majority of the palette being somewhat neutral. The Marc Jacobs Sofia lipstick collection is available in store at Sephora and consists of five gorgeous mini Marc Jacobs lipsticks. I own several of his lipsticks and this is such a great value for your money!

Online both Bergdorf and Neiman Marcus listed the HTF (HARD TO FIND) Guerlain M72 Fleur de Givre at $26 but it should have been $30 USD. It is now listed as sold out / discontinued however you can still order it from Bergdorfs by calling 212-753-7300 and ask for Blanca Mendoza. Once my online order was canceled this morning I called and placed a phone order with her for two of them. At that time there were still several in stock so don't delay because these will sell out!

I have yet to see this lipstick listed anywhere else. Sephora has a few pieces of the Guerlain Holiday collection on their website but not the nail polish, the clear gloss nor this lipstick. Will update as more information becomes available.

AUDACITY IN PARIS LANCOME EYESHADOW PALETTE - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

noreply@blogger.com (JAYDED DREAMS) — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 08:00:00 -0400

I swatched the eyeshadows from left to right and then followed next was the bottom row which was swatched from left to right as well.

Also, as I mentioned in a previous post I just happened across the Auda[City] Lancome eyeshadow palette quite by accident. I was placing an online order for something else on the Lancome website when I saw a pic of this palette. I was like, "that is a really nice palette" and once I read it was "designed by Lisa Eldridge", I was like "sold - THAT PALETTE WILL BE MINE"! I know, I know, this year has been THE YEAR of the palettes! YSL, Urban Decay, Dior just to name a few, all have released rather large palettes. So the question I keep getting is - Do I really NEED this palette? YES!!! Yes, you really do NEED this palette.

I LOVE all the colors included in this palette. It's as if someone read my mind and built this palette based on all of my favorite eyeshadow colors. The most perfect combination of light and dark shadows which will allow me to create the perfect daytime or nighttime look. With this palette there's no need to haul around several different palettes. OMG, I LOVE IT!

The shadows in the palette are extremely pigmented and blend so easily. They are soft to the touch but not so soft that they will crease, crumble or have any crazy fallout. In that respect they have a kind of dry texture. When you first use the shadows all you really need to do is lightly tap, tap, tap your eyeshadow brush into the shadow to pick up a good bit of product. Then you will lightly tap, tap, tap the eyeshadow onto your lid or crease. These are super pigmented eyeshadows so it doesn't take much to really overdo it. I know I did the first time I tried using the palette and ended up with a muddled mess on my eyes. So I started over and below is a natural look I created.

Now, typically I don't use eyeshadows to line my eyes but I thought I would give it a go. It was actually easier than I thought it would be especially when using any of the last four shades on the right of the palette. Those lined my eyes beautifully and were the perfect colors to line the eyes. Although I did go back in and use a touch of the purple eyeshadow to line the top middle of my lids. Just to add a bit of drama and to make my green eyes "POP" a bit more.

Now if I had to dislike or gripe about anything with this palette it would be the dual-end makeup brush that is included. I wasn't able to use it because it was rough and scratchy to my eyes. Clearly it wasn't the best quality although everything else was perfection!

MOODLIGHT TOM FORD SKIN ILLUMINATING POWDER DUO - NEW / FALL 2015

noreply@blogger.com (JAYDED DREAMS) — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 14:00:00 -0400

New for Fall is the Tom Ford Skin Illuminating powder duo Moodlight. The compact houses two shades: a lighter soft white shade and a warmer golden shade. The shades can be worn individually on the face or swirled together to create a multi-dimensional glow.

Unfortunately I don't have a local Tom Ford counter I can visit for swatches and to purchase products. Mainly I have to rely on the internet and the occasional rogue swatches that pop up on Instagram. So when Moodlight first came available online I pre-ordered it almost immediately. Even though I wasn't sure then if either of the shades would work for my really pale skin I knew if I waited too long it would probably sell out. As of today it is wait list only on the Tom Ford website and several department stores have it listed as unavailable on their websites. Moodlight will probably be the "Must Have" Fall item for 2015 so I would suggest calling your local Tom Ford counter to set one aside for you. Mine should arrive within the next few days so I will try to post swatches and a quick review for you all.

Tom Ford Skin Illuminating Powder Duo Moodlight - $80.00 USD

"Tom Ford created this highlighting and illuminating powder duo to capture the two most flattering types of natural light on the skin—a soft white shade is like the luminous glow of daylight and a radiant golden shade is like the romantic illusion of candlelight. These lightly shimmering shades can be applied individually or layered together to create a multidimensional glow."

0.42 oz.

TOM FORD COMPLEXION ENHANCING PRIMER - NEW / FALL 2015

noreply@blogger.com (JAYDED DREAMS) — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 13:00:00 -0400

New for Fall 2015 is the Tom Ford Complexion Enhancing Primer. It is both a skincare and makeup primer which hydrates and brightens the skin, reverses signs of aging, dullness and tiredness all the while minimizing pores. Sounds promising!

There are two primer shades: 01 Pink Glow and 02 Peach Glow. Both shades are said to complement a wide range of skin tones and the primer can be worn alone or under foundation. I purchased the Pink Glow primer and I have been wearing it under my foundation for the past few days. I'll post a review once I finish testing it out. So far though I'm really loving it. My skin doesn't look as dry and there is a slight "glow-y" almost dewy look to my face.
