About the lipstick: "Satin cream lipstick. Long-lasting colour wears for hours.

Moisturizing formula imparts broad range of fashion-forward colours with long-lasting satiny finish and medium coverage.

Vitamin E and chamomile protect and soothe lips. Soft, creamy formula won't fade, smudge or feather.
Apply to bare lips, after outlining with Aqua Crayon or Precision Lip Definer. To make lipstick last even longer, powder lips before application. "

Jen's Experience: This lipstick in Magnolia Rose is the coordinating lipstick for both the Garden Party eyeshadow quad and the other eyeshaow quad in their fall collection, Sequoia, reviewed below. I love the fabulous lipstick shades in Chanel's collection this fall, but I can't help but think this shade would be better if it weren't frosted. I have been seeing frosted lipsticks all over the place this season, so I guess that's the trend, but I can't help but feel like I'm back in middle school when I'm wearing one. That said, the rose shade looks good with my skin tone and coordinates perfectly with the other pieces in this collection or with the bolder eye looks for the season. The wear of this lipstick is not quite as good as I would like; it lasts 1-2 hours before it needs a touch up.

Retail Price: $25.00 (Chanel.com or your local department store counter)

 

sequoia.jpgAbout the Eyeshadow Quad:
"Four eye shadows in one compact. Coordinated quartet of shades in wet/dry formula.

Shade combinations ranging from matte to frost to satin for multiple looks, contrasting or complementary. Apply dry for subtle shadowing. Slightly moistened applicator gives a more intense shade.

Organic polymer derivatives ensure smudge-proof long wear, particularly in high temperature or humidity. Dermatologist tested. Ophthalmologist tested. Safe for contact lens wearers.
For a soft, natural look, use a single shade with graduated intensity. For a more sophisticated look, apply lighter shade from lashes to brow, medium shade on the lid, medium-dark shade in the crease and deepest shade to outer corner of lid."

Jen's Experience: I have much less of a problem with frosted eyeshadows than I do with frosted lipsticks. This palette contains four pink to neutral shades, two matte, two frosted, which in combinaton make up one of the most wearable palettes I've tried this whole season. Much like the Garden Party shadows, these don't necessarily seem like something I would have normally chosen for fall. But with colors this wearable? Pick it up now and stash it for Spring!

Retail Price: $55.00 (Chanel.com or your local department store counter)
