[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m reunited with my beloved Electrical Brown Stylo Ombre et Contour – it’s been out of inventory for months so I’m very grateful to see its return to my make-up bag. It’s half kohl, half eyeshadow and half liner and this color is simply gorgeous.
It’s not usually I can’t simply change merchandise from my make up bag (sack!) however I’ve genuinely missed this. I wore all of it summer season, left the lid off and it dried out so I couldn’t use it any extra. In summer season, when my tone is hotter and I put on Electrical Brown as a kohl, it provides my eyes what I can solely describe as a Mediterranian glimmer, or ‘vacation eyes’.
I regarded in every single place for a dupe and there’s nothing available – the truth is, metallic kohls are onerous to come back by normally, with Victoria Beckham giving the easiest choices and even then, not a metallic brown. Aside from CHANEL, the one different stockist I can discover for Electrical Brown is John Lewis HERE. It’s £28.
I’ve exaggerated the liner look so you may see the color correctly however you may put on this as kohl, liner or eyeshadow. I’d say it’s a metallic chestnut shade (oh that will have been a greater title proper? Google translate provides me Chataigner Electrique – no thought what I’ve simply mentioned ;-)).
As you may see from the earlier image, I’ve additionally been making an attempt out Le Left Professional – a serum and cream that makes use of alfalfa extracts to offer a tautening impact. Backside line right here is that no cream or serum can ‘carry’ as such – CHANEL skincare is at all times good so if what you want is smoother and softer, nicely hydrated and pampered pores and skin, you’ll positively have it right here.
What I prefer it for is a non-heavy day cream that offers pores and skin suppleness and silkiness with out feeling too wealthy. You may layer the serum and cream and your pores and skin nonetheless received’t really feel overloaded for any make up you put on. I imply, it’s onerous to talk for the ‘lifting’ and ‘contouring’. There’s a machine accessible (like a gua sha) that you need to use with it however any results will likely be momentary. If you happen to love the luxurious and ritual of it, you received’t go fallacious (it’s HERE), however significant carry comes from the knife, I’m afraid. I’m nonetheless not as comfy as I’d prefer to be with my neck – it’s the one half that I’d prefer to make some change on and in case you adopted my Ultherapy and Morpheus journey that I trialled simply to see you’ll know there’s little to no impact. I’m going off at a tangent right here however I noticed a dermatologist on Instagram saying the one factor she doesn’t need individuals to come back to her for is necks as a result of there’s nothing she will be able to do and I used to be grateful for that honesty. I’ve had so many questions on Morpheus 8 and for me it didn’t work – you will get some ‘carry’ for the decrease jaw and neck from fillers and that’s the place I’d head first if it’s one thing that troubles you. In any other case, I really feel it’s an inevitable journey (and an costly one) to the identical conclusion that many come to – it’s the knife or the perspective! I’ll work on the latter first ;-).
