Another Gimmick - ColorOn Eye Envy.

Do you think this looks at all, well - good?

 

ColorOn Eye Envy just made it's way to the Sephora website and will available at select stores later in the month. I ask why. Like a tattoo that you rub on, except it is specially designed eyeshadow. Who would have thought it? And who would have thought that Sephora would fall for such a gimmick. I just do not understand any of it.

First, I don't see the need for fancy looking zebra stripes on my eyes - or anyone's for that matter. And I cannot imagine that it is easy to get both eyes looking identical. There has got to be a lot of trial and error involved in making the application process and perfecting of the look.  That to me sounds like money down the drain. Forget the fact that everyone has different sized eyes and eyelids. It is not like you can cut them out and still expect them to look nice. What else - hmmm. Look at the different color combinations available. They are just not wearable.

 

 

I hate to be harsh, but I trust the beauty authority of Sephora. There is a reason why they are trusted. I cannot believe that they are behind this brand.

What do you think? 

A Look Ahead to Summer - Lancôme Cabana Bronze.

If this doesn't make you wish for long, hot Summer days, I don't know what will. The Lancôme Summer Collection, which doesn't hit counters until next month, is simply beautiful. Let me introduce you to Cabana Bronze.

 

The star products include the Star Bronzer Sun Cherub Compact and the Color Design Cabana Bronze Eye Shadow Palette.

The Sun Cherub Compact ($50) is a cherub embedded large bronzer. Loved by celebrities and makeup artists, this très grand palette showcases the original Lancôme cherub embossed in a sea of light and dark bronze shades.

Select from one of the two new shadow palettes. Color Design Cabana Bronze Eye Shadow Palette ($43) in Cabana Sunrise, with its pinks, lilacs and browns, will awaken your senses, while Cabana Sunset with its sultry golds and deep browns will set the mood for the evening ahead.

I am rocking the Cabana Sunset eye look today with the newest Color Fever Gloss from the collection, in a beautiful sheer and sparkling bronze. Now, I just need the bronze tan to match (coming soon!).

I cannot wait until the entire collection is launched in April. 

4 Fleurs de CHANEL Yeux-Eyes.

Simply to covet, to admire, or to use until your hearts content, this CHANEL limited edition is a must-have.

4 Fleurs e CHANEL Yeux-Eyes, is a beautiful creation with the four eye shadows each shaped in the CHANEL signature Camellia. With a very light iridescence, each shade is pretty enough for Spring, yet each true to it's pigment. Silky, long-lasting, never cakey or creasing, CHANEL shadows are one of my signature products.

 

The quad contains the four (perfect for your best Easter bonnet) shades: Robin's Egg Blue, Pearlized White, Sunrise Pink, and Tender Lilac.

Beautiful! Just look at her eyes...

 

... if I could only recreate that perfect eye liner swoop. 

4 Fleurs e CHANEL Yeux-Eyes is a pricey $65, but so worth it, for all of the reasons listed above. It seems like this stunner is selling out and is in fact sold-out at SAKS and Nordies online, but it was in stock at my local Nordstrom over the weekend, and a friend of mine just scooped one up at Macy's, so you may just luck out.
