The new Rouge Coco Shine from Chanel and OOTD

Very nice weather these last few days on here, I am happy cuz I can finally dress lighter and nicer! I promised myself I won't buy too many clothes anymore untill after I give birth unless they are clothes that can be worn regardless of the shape of the belly (aka, something that can be worn loose or cinched with a belt) because I don't like to have things that I don't wear in my wardrobe, and only for about 3 more months it wouldnt be worth the money! Remains to be seen if I can help myself from buying! This is actually a challenge, trying to come up with new outfits and looking pretty as pregnat, with pretty much only what I already have in my wardrobe!
Here is what I wore today:

Long sweater: Victoria's Secret (from a few years ago!)
Brown lace tights from C&A
Suede beige boots - C&A
Brown and coral-pink striped jersey dress - Tally Weijl
light coral scarf- Bijou Brigitte (I think... cant remember well)
Tote bag - Louis Vuitton
Sunnies - Fendi

Also, I wore the COCO Sheer Lipstick from Chanel, no 61, *Bonheur* (I love the name as it means "Happiness", in French). I love the texture cuz is so glossy and light and the color is very nice too, is definitely not a very long lasting lipstick (I guess that's why they don't even call it "lipstick", but "lipshine"), but is very nice and spring-y/summer-y, so to say! Is very hydrating, not sticky at all (so no hair stuck on your lips in more windy days!!) perfect for someone addicted to lipstick and lip balms, like me. I HATE having dry lips, it gets me crazy, greasy hair and dry lips on myself could make me become a beast cuz they make me feel horrible! That's why I always have lipstick or lipbalm and dry shampoo with me! Besides, with this lipstick especially, it is so "chic" to have it in your purse and from time to time to take it out and refresh your lips, because the packaging is niiiice and stylish!
Here is how it looks:

Pic was taken in the natural light to be as accurate as possible. Very nice sheer pinkish berry shade, with subtle glitter in it, Im totally lovin it!

Chanel Black Pearl (no 513) Nail Color

Okay so I tried the new Chanel polish that I bought for my bday, and I can tell you what I liked and what I did not like about it, now, after 5 days of wearing it. This is how it looks, I wanted to take a pic in natural light so I did it in the car but I guess the gray board is taking away from its real shade:

It is a dark grey with a pearly sheen and with some greenish-blueish tones, it actually does look like a black pearl. If applied in one coat is very see-through but can be nice if you are into the more subtle look, only that it can get streaky if you are not careful when applying it, but I guess that's nothing bad for a polish that wants to make your nails look like a pearl because the uneven aspect is okay in that case. I applied 2 coats here with a transparent base and no top coat. It didn't dry too fast and the brush is the classic one, long and thin so you have to be careful with it. I prefer the new ones that are shorter and wider, i will show you what I am talking about in another post. I have been wearing it for 5 days and now it's really chipped at the tips of the nails even if my nails are not long and I was careful not to scratch things or wash dishes, lol. So I can say I am not very pleased with its resistance on the nail. It is a pretty color but I will not buy Chanel nail polish again cuz apart from the special color (which gets fast copied by other (way cheaper) brands anyways), I see nothing special about it to justify the 22 euros price!
But I will definitely be using this one for a while cuz the color is really nice and anyways, I have to use it now, for all that money! haha

Princess Bday gift on a budget

Sooo tomorrow is my 32nd bday, and I am kind of tight with the moneyyy! I hate that, it doesn't usually happen this bad but with the whole pregnancy stuff and doctor fees and things to buy and all that... I guess is normal to be a bit (or even morethan a bit) tight with the money! I always like to buy presents for myself on my bdays, because the people around me, as sweet as they might be, either have absolutely no idea of what I like, even if it's SOO simple (makeup, books, plushies, skincare, people!! That's ALL!) either forget, so I end up with flowers and sweets (scary!) and some things for the house that I never use. So being on a budget this time I couldn't afford too much but at least I bough only expensive little thingies that made me feel better than buying a bunch or cheapies!
Here is what I got, from Douglas:

The actual things I payed for are these, the rest being samples that my friend/sales assistant at Douglas, who is always so sweet, gave me to try on:

So I got myself the YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch in no2., medium. I loooove this product, always loved it, but is pretty expensive to afford on a regular basis. There are other concealers and highlighters that can replace it pretty good, I will make a post on those sometime. Second thingy was the Black Pearl nail polish from the new Chanel collection, which I saw on some YT guru's nails and loved. I had to have it! Never had a Chanel polish because 22 euros is a bit too much for a nail polish in my oppinion, if it would have been at least a foundation or a concealer, would have been ok, those are the things that it's really worth splurging on. But I can't wait to try it on later today!! And the 3rd, that I wasn't supposed to get, cuz on my list was a foundation (of which I couldn't find a matching color for my skintone so I gave up) is the new Rouge Coco Shine in no. 61 *Bonheur* The color and the name were irresistible so I had to have this one too! Looks amazing! I had Rouge Coco Mademoiselle a while ago, the matte texture, but I somehow lost it :( I am still sad, it might be in one of my over 50 handbags tho, I shall look sometime when I have a free... half a day! lol
And from my friend at the counter I got a sample of Lancome Genefique serum plus a sample of renergie Lift Volumetry regenerating face cream! I will try these tonight. I am using anti-ageing serum from La Roche Posay, for acne prone sensitive skin, but I always wanted to try Lancome Genefique, and also, I wanna try the Estee Lauder regenerating serum in the little brown bottle. I also got 2 samples of Belle de Jour - masque de Lotus blanc from KENZOKI... these things are sooooo expensive! They better be good.. or better not, cuz if I love them I will have to buy the actual product! A sample of Shiseido lipstics in a very cute pack with a tiny cute lip brush! So nice! A little pot of Clinique All About Eyes eye crem, which is great, I had the big one before, and was nice. And 2 lil samples of perfume, Gucci Guilty (which I love, is awesome, but I still can't give up my Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche yet), and Dolce & Gabbana - The One, which I used to have and is a bit too sweet for my taste.
That was it, I am a happy girl today :D
Kisses,
Roxana
