Okay, so perhaps Chanel’s restricted edition $42 Ombres Contrastes Duo in Sable-Emouvant from the new summer de Chanel collection doesn’t beam with the boundless possibilities of, say, a mega makeup combination packed with 99 shadows in every color of the rainbow.

And perhaps it’s not thinking about spectacular stargazers with sparkly disco shine or illumination up lids with summer teals, eco-friendlies or golds — heck, it doesn’t even have any type of additional accoutrements, like a little tube of primer or a tutorial booklet.
But all that aside, it’s still one hell of a fantastic date.
If it asked you to the movies, it would suggest Casablanca over No Strings connected as well as Fandango the tickets ahead of time so you might both avoid the line. Then, it would get you a huge bag of popcorn while you freshened up (no butter, please), as well as snag best seats smack dab in the middle of the theater. No muss, no fuss.

With Sable-Emouvant, Chanel produced a duo so sophisticated as well as uncomplicated that I immediately forgave the brand for not releasing a summertime quad in the collection as soon as I slipped it on my lids.
Just like the Ombres Contrastes Duos very first introduced in 2010, Sable-Emouvant blends with the grace of a swan. One minute, one brush, as well as I’m done.
And without a trace of fallout. None.
Despite only consisting of two shadows, the duo has as much versatility as a great quad (perhaps more).
The lighter shade appears like a pearly golden peachy beige on my NC42 skin, as well as it reminds me of a creamier, soft-focus MAC Arena.
The darker shade, a purplish brown sheen, has blackened undertones when used dry (amazing for smokey eye looks!), however it transforms into a pearly bronzed purplish brown with reddish tones when used with a wet brush.
And when both shadows are mixed together, the resulting peachy brownish taupe flashes a lot more purple when the light hits it just right. incredibly sophisticated, understated, as well as so absolutely Chanel.

Getting to understand the Chanel Ombres Contrastes Duo in Sable-Emouvant
The powder bits are so finely milled that they decline to clear up into the fine lines on my lids (have I pointed out that my 37th birthday is next month?).
Classy. The surface is much a lot more “wine flights as well as tapas” than “shots of Patron.” I’d state it’s about halfway between a matte as well as a sheen.
Applied on top of primer, both shades stay put for at least 8-9 hours.
For a 1-minute eye makeup look, mix both colors together, as well as apply to lids as well as just barely into the crease. Then, wet a liner brush, as well as apply the darker shade to your upper as well as lower lash lines. surface with two coats of mascara.
Sable-Émouvant may not look like much at very first — I was like, dude, where’s my teal? — however I hope you provide it a chance. You just may be shocked by the quick work it makes of classic, knock-out eye looks to pair with summer’s pink as well as coral lips as well as cheeks.

So, yeah. I’m turning 37 next month, as well as I assumption I might be a great deal a lot more cranky about it, however really, what’s the point? Life’s a one-way ride, as well as you can’t back up. may also own it!
Last year I went to Vancouver for my birthday, as well as it was most likely one of the very best trips I’ve ever taken in my life. A cosmopolitan city, smiling people, gorgeous parks, fantastic public transportation, mouth-watering cuisine, as well as Trinity from the Matrix lives there.
This year, I believe we’ll most likely stay local. El Hub’s got a great deal going on at work, as well as I’ve got a couple of huge blog-related jobs in the works (boy, that wasn’t mysterious!), so most likely just a great dinner as well as a pistachio (or a jamoca almond fudge) ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins.
