The Quick High End Makeup Look

Sometimes I just feel like slapping a whole load of pricey products onto my mug, and on this particular morning it seemed like a good way to trial some of my new press samples while still giving some love to my Chanel sweethearts. I'm really into a hazy purple eye right now, and although Chanel Poesie pulls quite neutral on me I've still been reaching for it every few days. The Joues Contraste Blush 'In Love' has also been getting a bit of a work out around Chez Bovary - it's just a bit different from my standard neutrals so it's been quite refreshing!
 
I'm still unsure about my feelings towards the Lancôme Miracle Cushion Compact Foundation in Pure Porcelaine* - while I like how cool (literally!) it feels on the skin and the whole cute cushion aspect, it only provides light coverage and I'm a full-coverage girl all the way these days! I'm still trialling it though so should be able to pop up a proper post on it soon. 
I decided to forgo the whole 3 step process of the Bobbi Brown Sunset Pink Lip Trio* from the new Telluride collection and instead just swipe on the pretty lipgloss in Sunset* - a pink coral shade that is my first gloss from the makeup mega house.  I'm in neutral palette heaven at my beauty desk right now with a whole load of new releases staring at me including the neutral Telluride shadow palette, but since Chanel Poesie won out I will have to leave those until next time. So here is the complete quick and easy high end makeup look!
It was a pretty random bunch and next time I wear the Bobbi Brown Sunset Lipgloss I'm going to try pairing it with a pink blush to see if it further enhances the pink tones of the gloss. Everything I wore for this face of the day was perfect for a swipe-on-quickly makeup look, which I like to do on mornings when I've hit the snooze button a few times too many!
 
What is the nicest high end lipgloss you've ever tried?
Are you a fan of high end makeup products, or do you stick to the drugstore when it comes to beauty?

    1. Nice lighting often helps I must admit, ha! I'm just so used to matte higher coverage bases to be honest

  3. I was just thinking this morning about the Lancome foundation. I'm interested in it but want to see it in person as opposed to buying it online. Can't wait to hear what you think about it :)

    1. It's a super cool texture, I was thrilled to get colour matched at the Lancôme event and get the chance to give it a go. It's worth having a play around with on a counter for sure

  6. The Lancome foundation really remind me of the CC Cream compacts that are all over asia at the moment! My mum recently got one, I might give it a go.
    The foundation looks so lovely and natural on you though!
