Summer Filled My Veins With Light

When I saw the gorgeous and vibrantly bronzed look from Chanel's Mediterranee 2015 promotional image, with that "come-hither" purple on the waterline, I was sold.

Another breathtaking embossed powder from Chanel, Lumiere d'Ete Illuminating Powder is a slightly warm/neutral, medium tawny-brown with a golden-tinged, luminous sheen. The satiny, gelee-powder texture is firm, yet silky smooth, and it melts onto the skin; thus, giving a lovely bronzed glow.

From left to right: Stylo Eyeshadow Caroube 147, Stylo Yeux Waterproof Orchidee 997, Lumiere d' Ete Illuminating Powder, Rouge Coco Shine Insoumise 507, Levres Scintillantes Allegria 457.

I love the pairing of these products, and the bronzed, with a "punch of color" Summer look they create.

If this picture could talk...just as I pressed the shutter release button, the camera slipped out of my hand, and I just barely caught the camera by its strap before it hit the floor. So, if my expression looks tension or startled, that's why.
