CHANEL CAMELIA DE PLUMES HIGHLIGHTER (HOLIDAYS 2014)

Hello girls,
if you read my blog you have seen that I don't buy or use luxury make up products very often, because I find that many non-luxury or drugstore products these days can often offer equivalent results at a much lower price.

But. If there's anything remotely similar to this, from any luxury or drugstore brand, on the entire planet Earth, I haven't seen it yet.

Chanel Camelia de Plumes highlighter, from their new holiday collection, is literally like liquefied metal on your skin.
It is a very light and very cool-toned gold shade, almost in between silver and gold, that kind of shade that I like to call platinum.
And it is The. Most. finely milled powder I have ever touched.
If I saw the swatch alone, I would think it comes from a liquid product more than a powder.

Camelia de Plumes comes in the signature Chanel midnight blue velvet pouch.
The pouch is held closed by an elastic band and has a little pocket on the front - so cute, it reminds me of a kangaroo's pouch haha - which contains a small brush.
It is a good quality brush, I will use it to apply the highlighter on my face.

Thoughts, girls?? ^_^
What is your favourite highlighter at the moment, that you will use the most during the upcoming holidays?
Thanks for sharing :)

Love
MJ

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS TAGS

Hello friends,
two of my favourite girls

Kimmy from Beauty Isles

and

Antonia from Fifi and the Diamonds

have nominated me for a few tags, thank you so much for thinking of me ladies!!

I have already answered some of the questions from these tags in previous tags I have done, so I am now going to pick 11 new questions and put them together here :)

1. When was the first time you wore make up in public? (Kimmy)
When I was 5 year old, for a ballet performance :)

2. What's your favourite thing to buy beauty wise? (Kimmy)
I have an obsession with highlighters - liquid, cream, powder, you name it, I have it, and if I don't have it, I want it!

3. What's your favourite food? (Kimmy)
Pizza, and croissants with Nutella - and if you let me add fruit, vegetables, water, coffee and champagne, this is what I could live off of for the rest of my life, without ever eating anything else.
I am not a vegetarian, but I don't really like meat or chicken, so except from sushi or the odd fish, on most days I eat as if I was a vegetarian.

4. Your favourite music? (Kimmy)
Madonna and U2. And profanity-laden hip-hop songs, which I clean up and sing (AND dance!!!) along to All. Day. Long.
Most of my Instagram captions at @mjintheskywithglitter are de-obscenified lyrics from hip-hop songs too haha!
Tyga is my current favourite "I make that money reappearrrr hopping off the lear ain't no passengers in here I got D'Usse poppin no beerrrr why u in my ear I can't hear the money clear... YAAAAS my life All. Day.

5. Lipstick or lipgloss? (Antonia)
Lipgloss. I always have one in my bag for quick touch-ups on the go.

6. Your make up bag staple? (Antonia)
The one and only L'Oreal Lumi Magique foundation - True Match Lumi in the US.

7. Your favourite season and why? (Antonia)
Summer, because I love wearing summer dresses, and stiletto sandals, and flip-flops. To the point that my idea of winterwear is a coat over summer clothes.

8. What camera do you use for your blog? (Antonia)
I take all my blog and Instagram pictures with my iPhone 4S.

9. Who would you invite to a dinner party and why?
I would invite Oscar Wilde. Having a conversation with him over dinner would be mesmerizing.

10. My top 5 make up products (Kimmy and Antonia)

  • L'Oreal Lumi Magique foundation
  • Mac Pro Longwear Concealer
  • Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen
  • Helena Rubinstein Spider Eyes mascara base
  • Kiko Colour Sphere eyeshadows

11. Random make up facts about me (Kimmy)
I never set my face with powder. I always fake-tan my face. I always have lip balm with me.
