Chanel Vert Obscur fall 2015 nail polish review

chanel vert obscur nail polish fall 2015 review

Pictured: Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish for fall 2015

Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish is part of Chanel’s fall 2015 color collection. It is a deep, dark, evergreen hue which offers a green vibe during the day and in bright light, and dark, black, mysterious vibe at night and in dim light; where it looks almost black.

This is a classic-with-a-twist hue for the autumn season. Dark green, or evergreen, is a timeless fall color which works well with traditional autumn hues such as mustard, mahogany, burgundy, black, dark navy, and shades of brown. These classic hues also happen to be hot for fall 2015, making Chanel Vert Obscur perfect for the fall 2015 season! No wonder it is flying off the shelves!

That’s right! Many stores are already sold out of Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish for fall 2015; and the nail polish has only been on store shelves for about a week! This scenario has IT nail polish of season written all over it!

Not only is Chanel Vert Obscur a fabulous color for fall 2015, it is also a classic hue, making it nail polish wardrobe staple for many fall seasons to come. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It lasted a beautiful eight days before my nail growth was obvious, and I needed to change the polish. I went swimming several times, washed dishes by hand, and cleaned my bathrooms during that time period without any chipping or signs of wear. I am in love! I may need to credit this top coat for my chip-free test. Highly recommend 😉

Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish is from Chanel’s fall 2015 beauty collection. It can be found online here , here, here, and here. If you love it, shop fast! The color is flying off store shelves and may not be around too much longer.


Chloe Faye medium review

chloe faye medium grey handbag review chloe faye medium handbag shoulder bag chloe faye medium interior capacity chloe faye medium interior handbag medium chloe faye grey fall handbag review it bags

Pictured: Chloe Faye in medium. Leather and suede combination. Grey.

The Chloe Faye is a beautiful handbag from one of my favorite design houses; Chloe. This chic handbag offers a 1970’s vibe with a flap closure, (often referred to as a Saddle Bag), and two large, interior compartments. There is also a roomy zipper pocket inside. 

I have been eyeing the Chloe Faye since Chloe sent it down the runway a couple of seasons ago. The handbag started to appear on the streets in full force during spring 2015. For fall 2015, the Chloe Faye is flying off of store shelves and seems to be an upcoming IT bag for the season. Love that!

My medium Chloe Faye is extremely easy to wear. The handbag is lightweight, and the interior compartments make it easy to organize my purse essentials. The flap closure offers a strong magnetic snap which is fuss-free. Love that!

There is a lot of versatility in the Chloe Faye! The shoulder strap is detachable, which allows the Chloe Faye to be worn as a large, daytime clutch. The shoulder strap is also adjustable. I prefer to wear the handbag with the strap attached. I also prefer the strap adjusted as short as possible. I like the handbag under my arm; not dangling low. It just feels right.

The Chloe Faye shoulder bag has two sizes which are popular; the small and the medium. I chose the medium size because I like to have room for extra items my kids might ask me to hold; or I may just want to take extra things with me somewhere! I am also eyeing the small size, and may eventually break down and get one. Not that I have a handbag addiction or anything 😉 ha!

The medium Chloe Faye measures in at 10″ X 12.5″ X 1.5″ and the strap offers a 12″ drop. Chloe Faye is made in Italy.

I really enjoy carrying  my medium Chloe Faye. The handbag bag is user-friendly, on trend, and has an IT factor to it. All things I love in a handbag! The 1970’s vibe, and mixed fabrication, make the handbag unique; another feature I am in love with! This is definitely a great handbag to own for now, and many seasons to come!

I rate the medium Chloe Faye in grey, five out of five stars!

Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue review

atelier cologne rose anonyme review

Pictured: Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue

Atelier Cologne is one of my favorite fragrance companies; and when it comes to florals, rose is hands-down my favorite floral fragrance note. So, when I spotted Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme, I knew it had to be my new rose-based scent!

Like all Atelier Cologne fragrances, Rose Anonyme is so fresh, it seems as if the fragrance was created and mixed together the same day you spray it on your wrist. No other fragrance company smells this fresh! The perfume concentrate is 18%, which is the reason Rose Anonyme by Atelier Cologne is so luxurious. This concentrate is extremely high for the industry, and allows the fragrance to be long lasting, fresh, and offer a true, complex fragrance experience.

Top notes: Bergamot from Calabria, Ginger from China, Turkish Rose Essence

Middle Notes: Turkish Rose Absolue, Incense from Somalia, Velvet Oud Accord

Base notes: Patchouli rom Indonesia, Papyrus from India, Benzoin from Laos

Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme starts off with a ginger laced scent. After about thirty minutes, the ginger softens and the rose cycles through a soft yet exotic fragrance experience. The patchouli in the base adds a soft yet spicy undertone, which is nothing short of exquisite.

I am in love with Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue, and cannot wait to wear it often. The overall fragrance experience is ideal in warm, hot, and moderate weather. Since the scent is medium, it can be worn in tight quarters such as the office or theater. The complex nature of the scent allows it to be worn for formal events, yet the rose heart, gives the scent daytime appeal. This makes Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue the perfect day-into-evening scent; especially on a summer day!
