Raisin Agenda http://lavandegarde.com/2011/01/09/90s-revival-raisin-agenda/ http://lavandegarde.com/2011/01/09/90s-revival-raisin-agenda/#comments Sun, 09 Jan 2011 15:23:51 +0000 admin http://lavandegarde.com/?p=749 Obscuring your view

Chanel Obscure Rouge Allure

For my birthday in November of last year, I found this lipstick on Nordstoms.com. Yes, Chanel’s Obscure Rouge Allure  from the  Fall 2009 Noirs Obsurs collection was available for purchase, so I had to snap it up.

While many describe Obscure to be a doppelganger for the now discontinued Vamp Hydrabase lipstick, I believe this is in fact false. I would describe Obscure as a raisin. A deep burnt red sans blue pigments.

The color also reminds me of the R&B women of the 90′s. Remember the videos of Mary J. Blige , Total and SWV where they all wore shades and deep burgundy and raisin lipstick tones.

90′s throwback here we come! Next up matte loose powder.

Karl dipped into a pool of purple for this dress, the Pre-Fall theme was Byzantine and the color, of course, is on our radar!

Did you happen to capture the shoes in this collection too?

Excuse the flash..better yet- embrace it!

Ever since I ‘ve had this liquid lipcolor, I’ve been trying to photograph it in a good neutralizing light. Natural light has escaped me so being curious me I photographed with flash and got this milky lavender spectacle that I love.

Eclipse...Better than Twilight

Eclipse...Better than Twilight

Eclipse is the deepest shade in the Chanel Glossimer Family.

The deep plummy hue is sprinkled with silver flecks  that keeps you in the spotlight- but not shiny like a disco ball.

Released in Chanel’s Galaxy collection in 2007, this covented color- like all things Chanel Beauty, is no longer available to due such high demand.

le sigh…

Lavande-bot with Chanel Giggle

Look whose been to Chanel.. ( “loves Tupac but hates some LL”).

Lavande-bot loves Chanel Giggle Glossimer probably as much as I do, but have no fear- I don’t think she can open the twist cap..for now.

This mauve is a definate MLBB for anyone with deep pigment lips like mine plus its a rarity in the Chanel Glossimer family. Why? because its well rounded in creamy goodness that coats le bouche and lasts. Yes that’s right, lip liner optional. Perfect as a starter luxury gloss and definitely a recession proof staple for those who want their bang for their buck. BANG! This is perfect for you!
