Chanel Shocking Pink

April 17, 2017

Chanel Rouge Double Intensité Ultra Wear Lip Color matte liquid in 'Shocking Pink'. Bought this especially for a husband-/baby-free weekend L.A. getaway last summer, and it complemented the sunshine and poolside vistas swimmingly. Day to day, it wears a bit rough: SUPER drying, but it doesn't budge or transfer, and the gloss locks in just a touch of moisture pretty well. While there are certainly better mattes and glosses out there, in general, it made me feel like a million bucks.

Wait. Lipstick?

Perhaps I should explain: In my spare time, I love collecting and playing with cosmetics, and nothing starts my day off right like selecting the perfect lipstick. On a recent rainy Sunday afternoon, I decided to dig out every color I owned and document it, along with its story. The project gave me so much joy, and the final lineup of lipsticks was so lovely, that I decided to share it on Instagram and now in blog form. My apologies if you were you expecting more print collateral—this just makes me a touch happier.
