Chanel eyeshadow :review:

I realize that not many people have much money to spend for make up.  As girls we read magazines, read blogs and watch commercials, and there are always new things we all want to try.  Recently I purchased a Chanel eye shadow and have been Obsessed with it.  This eyeshadow sells at a  Nordstrom Chanel counter, chanel.com, or even at Macy's which is where I found the color I wanted  for $36 USD.  I strongly recommend it.  The product is velvety, easy to apply (comes with a brush) or can be applied easily with your finger tip and can be used for day or night.  The price will pay off for the amount of uses you get out of it.  In the month of September, everyday I have worn it. During the mornings since I have 12 hr day's making sure I get enough sleep is a must.  Since, I feel like I am naked with no make up on, every little bit helps and This creamy eye shadow definitely helps. At night if I want more of a dramatic look I will wear a darker eye shadow to play the eyes up.
This shadow comes in 6 different colors. The one I own sells out fairly quickly since its easier to match(83 Illusoire)  Also worn on my Chanel face of the day.  Let me know What you Lovies  are enjoying for eye shadows or bases

Favorite BLoggs

1) my number one fave is Kandee Johnson:


Not only is she down to earth, but she also speaks from her heart.  Not many bloggers do! I admire and wish to be as successful as her.

2) Lana Indiana:



I have been following her for some time and right now reading the personal things she is going through allows me to see her humbleness.  Reading her blog reminds me to love the one's I am close to on a daily basis.

3) Juicytuesday:



She's my badass blogger. Spunk, attitude and fierceness to her.  She reminds me a lot of myself. :)

4) Polish and Pearls:



She is a sweetheart, and is not afraid to post a bad review on a product "honest".

5) Makeup by TiffanyD:



Tiffany is extremely talented and know's what she is doing. A lot like Kandee, the difference is...Kandee has remained as humble as from the beginning, Tiffany has in my personal opinion(we all have one) made  her blog based more on good reviews as opposed to "honest" reviews. I am sure if she goes back to watch her first videos she will know what I am talking about.  I will continue support her success.

Two more I refuse to leave out.!!!

MissNatty's Diaries:
 And DulceCandy87




I recently started following their blog and I truly admire their work.  Age does not define your experience but your passion.  One day I hope to make it into someone's top 10 fave bloggers.  As we all know experience takes time and passion comes from within. I also hope, that people would remind me when Things start to change that someone would mention it to me respectfully.
