96 UTOPIA CHANEL ILLUSION D'OMBRE EYESHADOW - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

96 Utopia is a limited edition Chanel Illusion D'Ombre long wear luminous eyeshadow from the 2014 Summer collection REFLETS D’ÉTÉ DE CHANEL. To read more about the entire collection check out the link below. Utopia is a shimmery light purple cream eyeshadow with silver sparkle. It doesn't apply as evenly as previous Chanel cream eyeshadows - it seemed drier and less pliable.
It tended to pill (or clump together) which made it harder to get an even all over application of Utopia. The wear time for Utopia is on par with the other Chanel Illusion D'Ombre cream eyeshadows. It lasted for about six to seven hours wear time before creasing. Also, be sure to always apply an eyeshadow primer underneath the cream eyeshadow and use thin applications when applying the cream eyeshadow onto the eyelid to lessen the chances of them creasing. 

The Chanel Illusion D'Ombre long wear luminous eyeshadows are currently priced at $36.00 USD and contain .14 oz of product. They are available for purchase at most major department stores such as Nordstrom and Belk.

RESCHEDULED ALLURE SUMMER 2014 BEAUTY BOX - MAY 6th 2014 at 12:01 PM EST.

Originally the Allure Summer 2014 Beauty Box was supposed to go on sale April 29th but due to technical difficulties on the part of Allure and their website they have postponed the sale until May 6th. Now some beauty enthusiasts were able to place an order and according to Allure they will honor those orders. While others, like myself, were not even able to get the Allure website to load long enough to place an order. Hopefully with the rescheduling of the event everyone will be able to get through this time.

The Allure Beauty Box will be available at 12:01 PM Eastern time on May 6th, 2014. During the last launch Allure provided multiple links to purchase the Beauty Boxes so I will try to update my original post here and this post with any available links.

Once again - Should the time or link change I will update you ASAP. Here are some of the links below to make a purchase when they become available:

575 WONDERLAND DIOR ADDICT FLUID STICK - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

The Dior Addict Fluid Stick in 575 Wonderland is a bright reddish coral lipgloss. It has the pigmentation of a lipstick but the shine of a gloss. It is easy to apply and is opaque with one application. The formula feels and applies rather wet but dries unevenly on the lips with some areas maintaining a glossy finish while other areas dried down to a muted shade. When reapplied to even out the application it has a tendency to migrate onto the teeth which is very unattractive and aggravating. The Fluid Sticks might have performed better if the formula were more of a jelly consistency and less of a wet liquid. Maybe then the Fluid Sticks would have worn more evenly and maintained an all-over glossy color consistency.   

The Dior Addict Fluid Sticks currently retail for $35.00 USD and contain .18 fl oz of product.
