Oops, I did it again… I went to the mall with the sole intention of returning a jacket that I really didn’t need. (I do live in Florida, after all.) Then wouldn’t you know, as I was passing the Chanel counter I recalled jotting down a lipstick shade called “La Diva” (how apropos) so I decided to see if they had it. Alas, they did—and it’s the perfect matte addition to my hot pink collection—but I didn’t stop there.
I took this lovely shade for its maiden voyage today, and after 5 hours of wear, it’s all still there. (Woo hoo!) At first I tried applying it with the cute little brush that came in the box, but it wasn’t big enough so I switched to my finger. (The brush will be perfect for using this cream shadow as eyeliner, which I’m planning on trying Saturday night.) The formula blends so well, but I actually found my finger to be too imprecise, so next time I’ll try a flat concealer brush, which the salesperson recommended.
In a nutshell, it’s rare to find a cream shadow with staying power that’s this intense and easy to blend. My wish for gilded lids has been fulfilled, and now I’m thinking about which shade I should get next…
