beauty buzz : coral.

here | here | here
as you know by now, coral is everywhere for S/S 2011.  {prime example being this lovely j.crew spring lookbook}. while it's a great way to brighten up your wardrobe, it is also a fabulous way to brighten up your complexion.  yes, i have a new beauty obsession.  her name?  chanel rouge allure 'laque' in pheonix.  doesn't it just roll right off your tongue?  she is definitely a beauty splurge at $32 but she is  a  m  a  z  i  n  g.  like whoa.  'phoenix' is a yummy pink hue with a glossy sheen and a {very subtle} pink shimmer.  it provides full-color coverage that goes on totally opaque but the feel is so light.  it is a liquid lipstick formula, yet applies evenly and smoothly.  ahhh. . . just in time for valentine's day.

    yours truly-

  1. This coral-y pink is the official "color of the year" according to the experts at PMS {it's not what you think}. Pantone Matching System is the godfather of color formulas and has deemed this shade of watermelon-meets-peony-meets-reef as THE color for 2011! Love it on lips! Thanks for sharing :)

  3. HELP I must have that Chanel lipstick, which shade is it? I'm pretty sure "laque" is just french for "lacquer" and there are quite a few different pinks!

  5. This has been my favorite lip gloss for forever! It is the holy grail of all lip glosses..when I tried this gloss it was the first time in my life I stopped looking any further for something "just a little better." Love the blog!
