Pampering time: Chanel products

I am all about wearing makeup. I don't use it myself everyday, but every once in a while, for special occasions, or just a random day of the week, is good for me. It gives that little boost of confidence you need and it just makes you act your part a little better when you need to be fully drawn into your daily to do's. But it may be tricky if you are not used to wearing it! It happened to me once. I was not fully aware that my face was all dolled up, I yawned and rubbed my eyes... yes, you might guess what happened next. I looked like a raccoon. Horrible, horrible thing, so that is why I am extra cautious and extra aware of my every move.  

This post is about what I would love to have in my collection for that extra pump. Specially from Chanel. Lets hop into it. 

1. Blush in JOUES CONTRASTE, shade 72 Rose Initiale

2. Lipstick, ROUGE COCO, shade 05 Mademoiselle 

3. Eyebrows pencil, CRAYON SOURCILS, shade 30 Brun Naturel

4. Makeup Remover, DÉMAQUILLANT YEUX INTENSE

Those are the products I would love to pamper myself with at some point, and the price ranges are not that bad, I might start with the eye makeup remover. You can check these and more products here. 

I hope you are enjoying your day, cause I am certainly doing so!

Let's talk about it.

Maybe I am a little naive. Maybe I just like it too much. 

Fashion is in the mouth of everyone. Without it we wouldn't be able to express ourselves. Even when someone says "I'm not into fashion" they are all wrong. You just don't need to follow the hottest trends to be a fashion addict. It is how you express your personality through it. Simple, sleek, classy, grunge, boho, hobo, country, even a mix, you are creating your own fashion statement. If sneakers is what you use more, go for it. If you are high for heels, go for it. 

 'This stuff'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff." Miranda Priestly. "The Devil wears Prada" 

Best quote ever. 

We are all not exempt from fashion choices, we just don't know how it really affects our way of seeing ourselves. It's no joke when they say "dress for success" either in your job or in your life. We just have to look and feel great. 

It's our confidence that make the clothes look good on us, not the other way around. 

Be confident, express yourself and it will take you wherever you need to be. 

Fashion, what else am I supposed to say? Just have fun. 

  

Bye Bye May.

I've had the craziest month. Some ups and downs came my way, and have been really learning experiences. Loved them and also hated them. It's things like these that make me open my eyes and understand how much time I spend trying to multitask, but it is actually not working at all. I can do some things at the same time, but have figure out that if I just do one thing, finish it and then continue with the next, is going to make my life easier and stay on top of my game. 

Yesterday I heard a phrase that is stuck on my head, "It doesn't matter the speed of the things you do, it matters how you do them and how well you perform them". Well yes, I have been trying lately to keep up with the craziness. I just can't any more. I am not following it, it's not my pace.

For June, my goal is to go at my speed, don't try to multitask cause that is making me fall behind. I sometimes think that the whole world if pushing me to walk faster than I am used to, but this time, I just want to take it my way.

May has been, most definitely, a learning month, one that has made me open my eyes and be struck with reality. Being a grown up is certainly more difficult. You just have to learn how to handle things and go with your own speed.  

I hope your month is starting off right! 

have a great day!
