10 reasons why Chanel Joues Contraste Powder blush in Pink explosion will blow your mind…
It’s an explosion! Of Pink! Seriously — Pink explosion — how could you not love that name?
Looks so lovely with hourglass Fever lipstick. (I’m just saying…)
Also goes great with NARS Angelika Lip Gloss, which is what I’m wearing in these pics.
Actually…now that I think about it, it goes great with errrthing. I’ve been wearing it regularly for the past month in a bunch of different eye/lip combos, and I can’t remember ever thinking that it didn’t work well with a look.
The secret squirrel micro-glitter (you can only see it if you get up really close) will make you feel like you’re getting an extra large scoop of Chanel special sauce.
If you’re feeling extra crabby with a side of cranky, Pink explosion will make you look like you don’t have a care in the world, so maybe then somebody nice and cute will walk up to you and start a conversation about something light and fun, and then you’ll temporarily forget your crabbiness.
It smells like roses! — so you’ll be reminded of the last time someone surprised you with a huge bouquet of flowers (hopefully it wasn’t too long ago).
It’s so powerfully pretty that it can even cancel out the memory of needing the Jaws of Life to get into your skinny jeans this morning.
And not having to spend a ton of time carefully blending out any edges means you’ll have time left over to look for a purr-fect faux leopard-print Christmas coat.
Did I mention it’s Chanel?
Chanel Pink Explosion
Chanel Joues Contraste Powder blush in Pink explosion ($45) is a neutral, medium-toned matte pink powder blush with magical micro-glitter (looks like a satin finish on the skin) and a 7-hour wear time. Versatile, easy to blend and layer, it gets along with just about everyone, from lighter lasses to darker divas, and I am WICKED obsessed with it at the moment!

What a movie! It’s based on Jane Austen’s book of the same name.
Beautifully directed by Ang Lee, the movie stars Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman, Hugh grant and about a zillion other good actors.
One of my issues with period pieces is that sometimes I have trouble keeping up with the dialogue, especially when they’re using Shakespearean or Victorian English.
But this one’s totally easy to follow.
And it’s loaded with shady business! drama with a capital D. Don’t be surprised to find yourself yelling your favorite playa’-hating catchphrases at the telly.
I can see why Emma Thompson won an Academy award for writing the screenplay. girlfriend did an excellent job.
After I finished watching it I had a sudden urge for tea and biscuits…
