Chanel, Oh Chanel!

I had today off from work and had been doing my college homework for about 4 hours straight. My brain needed a serious break... so I went to the mall. I work at a Macy's that is not part of a mall, and I wanted to go to Lush too pick up a lip scrub.. (more on that in another post)... and a beautiful Chanel Beauty Adviser caught me in her delicious designer makeup web. I told her that I was a beauty adviser for Estee Lauder, but that I would love to try some Chanel products. She gave me the full Chanel makeover... and I LOVED it! She had a lovely soft touch and told me all kinds of things about the products she was using, which was smart, because as a beauty adviser I want to know everything about what you're putting on my face.
She gave me some wonderful advice on playing up my eyes... I think she did a good job. :)

My Chanel Makeover
The Beauty Adviser, (I remember her name because we exchanged info, but for her privacy, I will just refer to her as the Beauty Adviser), used smokey purples to make my green eyes pop. I actually have used more vibrant purple shades to make brown eyes pop for my own clients, so I loved how she applied that color specifically for my features. Although my camera did not capture the depth of color used on my face; in person, I feel like my eyes and skin are glowing.

I was so happy with some of the Chanel products that I probably would have bought more than I did had I not been trying to spend a bit less. I did get the purple mascara and blonde eyebrow pencil, both of which are different from the Estee Lauder versions so I don't feel too guilty about getting them (I kinda feel like I'm cheating on Estee Lauder - LOL). They will be wonderful products for me to play with when I'm not at work. :)
