He opened The Napoleon Perdis Makeup Academy with locations in Australia and one in Hollywood, Ca . In 2008 he had his own reality show "Get your Face on" where he looks for a protege (Tj Felts was my fave MUA even though she didn't win). He has also made guest appearances on Australia's Next Top Model and he released his own book "Flawless Forever."

Chanel Fall 2010 Makeup Collection



Just as we are gearing up for summer, fall falls into our hands and all the bright colors and pastel eyeshadows we were in love with are now a thing of the past.


This fall, Chanel releases their 2010 collection which is all about soft smokey eyes and pale lips. Using colors like deep plum, chocolate grays and smoldering khakis make this a collection I'm ready to fall in love with!.


Coco Chanel’s iconic style was a study in contrasts. She boldly mixed black and white, masculine and feminine, classic and modern. Paying tribute to her unique vision, Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, has created a makeup collection for Fall 2010 that brings bold emphasis to the eyes, and keeps lips soft and delicate.






Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner ($28)
*Classic- pitch-dark plum
Le Crayon Khol Intense Eye Pencil ($27)
*Clair- Beige




Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow ($28.50)


*Taupe Grise- Chocolate Gray
*Vert Khaki- Cool khaki green



Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow ($56)


*Enigma- Shimmering peach,deep plum and two deep smokey grey




Levres Scintillantes Glossimer ($27)


*Petite Peche- pale peach
*Coral Love- Bright coral shimmer
*Rose Dilemma- Soft Pink
*Teaser- Vivid Pink






Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Color ($30)

*Rose Dentelle- Tender pink
*Chalys- Delicate Coral
*Chintz-Soft peach

Joues Contraste Powder Blush ($42)

*Pink Explosion- Luminous pink
*Plum Attraction- Bold glistening plum
*Rose Temptation- Shimmering rosewood





Throwback: Chanel's 2009 Spring Collection!

Remember Chanel's 2009 Spring Collection?
I've had the Rouge Double intense ultra wear lip color and it has been sitting in my stash
ignored for a while and last night I decided to use it and I fell in love with it ...again


I have Sandstone a creamy terracotta color that I think suits both warm and cool tones.
Ok, so I know the price is a bit high ($35), however unlike most drugstore versions of a similar formula, none of them feel as smooth or last as long.
