Here is a quick look at Chanel‘s summer 2014 makeup collection. I like the bright shades of Inimitable Waterproof mascaras and the mouthwateringly fresh colors of Lèvres Scintillantes and Le Vernis.

The first fragrance release from Jill Stuart in Japan was a trio of scents (Jasmin Fleur, Night Blooming Lily and Vanilla Lust) back in 2006. (According to Fragrantica, these three scents were released (presumably in North America) in 2005.) I remember wanting to try Jasmin Fleur at the time, and I nearly decided to buy one on eBay. (They were never available in the UK.)
Over the following few years, Jill Stuart released more fragrances (such as Jill by Jill Stuart (2007), Night Jewel (2009) and Vanilla Lust (2011, a different version)), but it was Relax Eau de White Floral that got me interested again. It was released in December 2012 soon after the brand debuted the Relax bodycare range in September.

Here is a look at Dior‘s summer 2014 Transat makeup collection. The seasonal limited-edition collector’s item is the Diorskin Nude Tan Transat Edition. Initially, I thought it looked just like some of the Diorskin Nude bronzing powders from the last couple of years. However, the Transat Edition is more of a champagne-gold finishing powder. I like the rope design details, which evoke a sense of journey and adventure.
Let’s have a look at some of the items in the rest of the collection:
