Chanel Once More

I wanted to check out the new glossimers but R. said not till next week. So one thing led to another and I finally found a nice orangey lip (La Ravissante) that is not too coral then R. threw some more color on my cheeks via Bronze Corail from last summer (a regret) and I was smitten. Although I was lusting for the new summer bronzers with the yellow stripe, R. sneered and said you know they are going to be $10.00 more, they are not as cute, plus I know you will use this so much more. And here I will sweeten the pot since they are being discontinued and threw in his favorite blush brush P.'s favorite blush brush (angled) and an eyeshadow brush* to boot.
Ok

The eternal quest for a bright pink lip led me to Caprice Pink and a much more refined Barbie lip. 
I totally fell in love with the first pictures of Dior's Garden collection and could not wait to play. Rosy Glow blush is just so lovely and must be applied to the cheek to be truly appreciated. Hand swatches are very deceiving (much like lip color swatches on the hand) and  had I judged by my hand alone I would never have bought this lovely,lovely blush. Tulip Pink lipstick says spring,period and the Garden Pastel quint is absolutely glorious. When C. did my makeup she added the deep plummy color from the Stylish Move quint to the outer corners and it was so lovely. However it was not lovely enough to warrant a purchase for one single color. I thought it would be easy enough to find a similar color in my collection and I was wrong. I saw C. again and we both agreed that the closest color and a lovely palette indeed was at...
