The next big thing: The CC Cream by Chanel

In the beginning of 2013 Chanel is going to launch its CC Cream for Europe. (this one has been working quite well on the Asian market for months now.)

Well we all know about the magic the asian BB creams do. The CC cream is basically the improved and refined BB cream...

If your head is spinning and you don't even know what a BB cream is, you must have slept the year 2012 entirely.

Blemish balm or Beauty balm war originally created in Germany and has gained over the past decade a huge popularity among the asian Beatystas for its skin-regenerating properties. In 2012 the BB cream run over the european and american markets.

While the BB cream primarily was manufactured as a skin care product, the CC cream goes further:

it retains all the skin benefits a BB cream provides while added nourishing ingredients provide more effective skin coverage.

And once again Chanel proved its status as a pioneer.

Are you curious to try this one?

Red, Red, Cabernet

Ever since this year's MET Gala in May, we have known which beauty trend will hit the streets and shops this spring and last till fall: deep, dark lips.

Spring traditionally is reserved for the lighter hues, but this time the trendsetting Ladies have proven once again that rules are meant to be broken.

We first saw the trend upcoming on the runway shows of Parbal Gurung and Donna Karan but the leading ladies in Fashion and showbizz have shown their take on the look:

From  Lana Del Ray, over Camilla Belle, Kate Bosworth and Amber Valetta to Jessica Chastain and Alba- they all have sported rich, red wine tones.

Amber Valetta took the detailing on her Prada gown as inspiration on her pink cheeks and burgundy lips.

Kate Bosworth wearing the NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in VOLGA

As for Camilla, she went for a 20's inspired drama look by wearing a custom made lipstick in 3 different shades.

(personally, my fave...copycat i am)

I am still on the hunt for the Chanel Twin Set collection in the shade Provocation... but unfortunately it is part of an limited edition and was sold out at Fashion's Night Out in september in Paris.

If you want to recreate the look here some of the lipsticks i would choose:

Chanel Rouge Noir- made popular in the early 90-ies

MAC Smoked Purple, Prince Noir and Rebel

Guerlain Gigolo

Dior Addict Perfecto and Black Tie

  

Started in spring- this look isn't only good looking in autumn, but in any season!!

Nail it!!!
