Collection Illusions D'ombres de Chanel Nail Varnish Dupe!

I was wondering through Target today and checked out the Nail polishes and saw a really gorgeous color by Nicole by O-P-I. And then I thought back to when I was drooling over the new Fall Collection from Chanel and realized it looked so much like Peridot! And I got it on sale for $3.58!! :D

Chanel Peridot

Nicole Sea How Far You Go

"Liberté, égalité, fraternité . . . and fragrance!" Marie Antoinette's fragrance is revived!

Of course since I'm new this blogging world you all don't know I have a painful obsession with perfume, that I'm not even embarrassed to admit. I love it. I would get into why I love it all and everything but really... who cares? We all love it. Anyway! I found that Lubin, a french Perfume house, is reviving a floral scent created for her by Jean-Louis Fargeon (the royal nose if you will) inspired by her beloved gardens at Versailles. She had it with her even during her imprisonment and held the "midnight colored jade vial" until she slipped it to her most trusted friend, the Marquise de Tourzel (who's family still owns the vial to this day) shortly before her death. Black Jade (130.00 YIKES) is now available for anyone who wants a smell into the past at Aedes.

Might have to save up for this one!

If anyone lives in Atlanta...

A new free people store is opening and they're having an event on August 25th! (Check it out on Facebook to RSVP by the 11th).

I'll be there :]

OH.SHIT. This bitch 'bout to go nuts.

Starting Something New

So I'm sitting here at work and decided I've got nothing better to do than start my beauty, etc. blog! Haha. So today as I got ready I decided I'd record a video of my everyday makeup routine (I asked Gracie from UglyFaceofBeauty what video I should start with and that's one of the ones she suggested), HOWEVER my apple is being a complete ass and won't let me record. Here I thought I finally had my first video done and when I hit stop there was NOTHINGGGGGG. Ugh. I've recently just moved so my camera is packed up somewhere... and I have no idea where. Not good.

Anywho- I thought I'd just write a little post about my most recent makeup purchases.

I went to the MAC store yesterday because I had 25 empty containers to turn in and I needed some empty palettes. I ended up with 3 empty palettes (I'll take pictures soon), 7 new shadows (Woodwinked, Twinks, Contrast, Naked Lunch, Beauty Marked, Black Tied, and Club), and then 3 free lipsticks (Snob, Hue, and Lady Danger) and one free gloss (Cultured). WHOOPS... oh yeah and then Mac Face and Body in C3. S.H.I.T.

-- NEW LOVE

When I was there the helpful lady told me of an event they are having in the next few weeks. MAC stores are having FAHREAL before and after makeovers. They had a contest thing online a few months ago and picked a few winners then they designed new products from their after looks. Anyway! They're going to have those collections in the stores and then you can pick one you're inspired by and they'll do a complete makeover (with hair stylists and all... WHAAA) and include before and after shots. I have an appointment for August 26th (?) so I'll make sure to post my looks and anything I get from the collections. Hopefully I'll find my camera so I can make a video of everything... but we'll see.

ANYWHO- I know this post is everywhere... but it's my first so you'll have to excuse me! I'll get better, promise :].

Have a beautiful day, loves.

xoxo,
Aurie Belle
