Chanel’s summer 2014 nail polish colors are here! The colors are bright, playful, and perfect for the upcoming fun-filled summer months. Pink Tonic by Chanel is a bright, neon fuchsia hue which will definitely attract attention this summer 2014 season. The bright, neon color of Pink Tonic blends well with the seasons’ neon color palette, plays well with neutrals, and adds a little kick to pastel shades of pink, purple, green and blue.

Every year Chanel dictates the “IT” color in nail polish, and summer 2014 is no different. For summer 2014 we are looking at a mix of pastel hues, white, and neon brights for nail polish. Chanel Pink Tonic is a great nail polish color for the summer 2014 season since it is a bright pink hue which is easy to wear.

Although not a neutral color, Pink Tonic by Chanel plays well with the majority of colors in the summer 2014 color palette. This will make Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish easy to wear this summer, and perfect for the hot weather season. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. Chanel pink Tonic nail polish lasted five days before chipping and seven days before needing to be redone. The color is smooth and shiny; no matte or sparkles. You could try a matte top coat with Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish, although, I personally love the high shine of the nail polish and would not want to dull it with a matte top coat.

Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish is a limited edition nail polish for the summer 2014 season. You can find Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish online here and here.

Pictured: high coverage concealer for under eye c/o Laura Mercier.

Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer for under eye is here! This amazing eye concealer is packaged in a small tube with a long point where the concealer comes out in mini drops. These small drops of concealer are easy to apply with dots under the eyes where coverage is needed. After applying the concealer in dots under the eye, Laura Mercier’s new high coverage eye concealer can easily be smoothed into skin creating a clean canvas on the face  and hiding everything which needs to be hidden under the eye! Bye bye dark circles!

I have found it difficult to find a good eye concealer over the years since the color always seems to be slightly off from the color of my foundation making the portion under my eyes too white. Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer blends perfectly with my foundation and smooths into skin without leaving a trace. This allows Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer to properly hide imperfections under the eye without being detected. Perfection!

Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer also lasts all day without melting in humidity and hot weather. Love that! Laura Mercer’s new high coverage concealer for under eye can be found online here, here and here.

Dolce Gabbana has added a new finishing powder to their collection; the “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder.” This fabulous new make-up addition is light, luxurious and the perfect way to finish off your face!

Unlike a foundation powder or bronzer, Dolce Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” offers a light, translucent radiance to the face which is natural and does not clog pores. Love that! The “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” sets your foundation and concealer with an invisible touch which lasts throughout the day.

I tested out Dolce Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” on warm days, cool days and rainy days. With each type of weather and air conditions, the “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” by Dolce Gabbana held up without allowing my face to shine or my foundation to melt. Love it!

Dolce Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” is also a nice, light powder to wear on days when you do not want to wear foundation; it controls shine and offers a fresh faced look.

The new “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” by Dolce Gabbana is priced at $60 and can be found online here and here.
