Nail of the Day: Chanel Malice

It's been forever since I have done a NOTD post. Why not come back big with Chanel? This has been a very talked about polish for Fall/Winter so I decided to pick it up. While it is pretty I just don't know if I get the hype just yet. I may need to wear it again to see but I'm not sure that this would make any favorites list just yet. This polish is $26 and you get .40 fl oz. So not cheap by any means but Chanel does make some very unique colors so sometimes its worth it. 

Nail of the Day-Chanel Frenzy Le Vernis

Chanel Frenzy Le Vernis ($26 USD for .4 fl oz) is described as a "lilac grey". It is part of the CHANEL’s fall 2012 ‘Les Essentiels de CHANEL’ collection. I think its a combination of a taupe, a light grey, and mixed with a lilac almost but leans more taupe/grey. I have heard that Essie Sand Tropez is similar to this color. I don't have Sand Tropez so I'm not really sure. This color is super classy and chic. It gives you an almost nude nail without being too nude. 

Project X Pan

Yes, you are reading the title of this post right, I am doing a project X pan. For those of you who don't know what project pan is there are many rules but I'll just give you a general idea. The goal is to use up a certain number of products before you buy anything new. Some people also go on a low buy during this period because for some it can last several months. I don't know how those people do it. Well I've decided to do this since I have a lot of makeup and need to take a break for a little bit from buying it. Starting on October 1st I won't be buying any makeup or skincare products only 100% necessary (i.e. I run out of toner or cleanser).

Top 10 Favorite Fall Lip Glosses-Swatches & Photos

I'm so excited for Fall so I want to start sharing with you all some of my favorite Fall/Winter makeup products. For me Fall and Winter makeup is pretty much the same and the same goes for Spring and Summer. I may tweak it slightly but the idea of what I pick is similar. So these are my top 10 favorite glosses for Fall. This may change for Winter if I get some new glosses or fall in love with something else. I have a mix of high end and drugstore. I tend to like rich berry colors, plums, and rose colors. That's just personally what I lean towards. I don't like anything too dark though as I am very fair skinned and don't think I can pull off very dark. So here are my favorites for Fall.

Product's I've Hit Pan On

This post is dedicated to the products that I have hit pan on which are very few. For those of you who are not familiar with the term to hit pan it basically means that you have used the product so much that you can see the pan.  I have a ton of makeup so if I hit pan on something that means that I really (and I mean really) love it. I also want to discuss in this post products that I would like to hit pan on. There are few products that for one reason or another I want to use them up or I just love them so I'm trying it see some pan.

Most Expensive Makeup Item

This post is all about my most expensive makeup item. I didn't include any eyeshadow palettes. I tried to just pick one item that I paid quite a bit more. Any guesses which Chanel product this might be?
