For My Peachy Days, I Reach For Chanel Tigerlily

I was not going to get anything from the Chanel Spring 2012 Collection. I guess I was wrong. Again!


Is it just me, or am I the only one who keeps trying to open Chanel single shadows on the wrong side? My makeup junkie mind just can't get it straight which side to open, so a fight ensues that usually includes a few choice words. Hey, I'm originally from the North End of Winnipeg. If you've ever been there, then you'll understand what I mean by that.
One day Chanel shadow single, one day-I WILL BE THE VICTOR. I SHALL BE VICTORIOUS. AND I WILL LAUGH A HEARTY LAUGH. It's the small victories I rejoice in, ok?

After I swatched Chanel Tigerlily Eyeshadow, I knew I had to take it home. I know, you are all thinking I'm nuts, right? I thought I was too at first. I mean, look at it-it's very orange!

 


The golden orange colour with orange shimmer was so unique and I knew I had nothing like it in my collection.


I don't own a lot of Chanel eyeshadows. Honestly, I don't particularly like the texture of them. The three single shades that I do own though( Tigerlily being the third), are really great though-they have a smooth texture, great pigmentation and blend really easily.

I know, you are all still thinking: But it's ORANGE. It will look WEIRD on you and on me Tracy.





Hey? Hey? It's rather an eye-opening shade I think! It's so pretty and fresh and just brightens up my whole eye. I really like it and since I've been into a tonal look, this is perfect for my peachy days. Yeah, I've been rather lazy with my makeup lately as I've told you. The less I need to think about what colours go with what tones, the better I say. So tonal looks are what I've been favouring and enjoying. And this eye look is just a cream shadow pencil all over my eye, and Tigerlily in the crease. Pretty easy even for this lazy chick.

I was one of FIVE lucky girls to purchase Chanel Tigerlily from my Chanel counter. FIVE?? WHAT is up with that? The counter manager said a lot of customers were quite angry, but that's all they were sent. Why Chanel headquarters thinks five is enough is beyond me-it's a little ludicrous imo.

Do you like wearing tonal makeup looks? More importantly, would you wear Chanel Tigerlily? Or do you think the five shadows that the counter was sent to sell is enough orange?
