My Lipstick is Finally Back

Vanessa Paradis Wearing Chanel Rouge Coco Mademoiselle

 

Chanel's Rouge Coco Mademoiselle lipstick has been my signature shade for ages. It is what I wear 365 days a year. About a year ago Chanel reformulated many of its lipsticks including Mademoiselle. There was some debacle and they immediately pulled the reformulated lipsticks from the shelves claiming a packaging problem. My problem was that I was down to one remaining in my makeup bag.

Unless you are brand new to Chinoiserie Chic, you know that I am a huge fan of Rothy's flats - they are chic, stylish, incredibly comfortable, eco-friendly, and machine washable. 

They have come out with two new styles that I love - with their cap toes, tweed, and color palette of black and white and a pink interior - they remind me a lot of Chanel flats stylewise, but cost effective and low maintenance. These are wonderful for the holidays - a touch of metallic thread adds a hint of sparkle.

Above are the classic and iconic Chanel flats. These new Rothy's below to me are channeling Chanel - so classic, go with absolutely everything, but the Rothy's will be the most comfortable shoes in your closet - not to mention that they are eco friendly and machine washable.

 I am always been very OCD about my hair and it has to be perfect 24/7. This has been a challenge with the heat and humidity of Florida requiring me to rethink my previously favorite hair products. I am a huge fan of Oribe. Last week, I received in the mail samples with a Nordstrom order of Oribe Brilliance and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner and Supershine Moisturizing Creme and my hair came out simply amazing. I ordered all three and they arrived yesterday. 

And the icing on top, the containers are navy/cobalt blue with gold lettering. Beautiful. I may just have to leave them out they are so chic.

It occurred to me that I also love the packaging of my favorite perfume Narciso Rodriguez/black with pink and my favorite makeup Chanel/black with its iconic interlocking CCs. I am very visual, and I'm sure the aesthetics play a role. Do you have any examples of this with beauty products you use? 

A little off the topic of beauty products, but I am a Manhattan drinker and love the packaging of my go-to cherries Amarena Fabbri. Beautiful blue and white ceramic vessels.
