Chanel Vertigo 563 Les Essentiels Coll. swatches

Chanel Vertigo 563 – is not the same as Vertigo 60, age unknown. Vertigo 563 is from the Les Essentiels Coll. fall 2012: Vertigo 563, Suspicious 561 and Frenzy 559.

Vertigo is a super dark grey with hints of black, brown and smoke – and it has a very shy shimmer. The application is a breeze and the finish is shiny and gorgeous.

This is 2 coats, even if 1 rich coat is enough, and I did not use a top coat for these swatches.

Dior 887 Purple Mix swatches - Collaboration Saturday

On this Collaboration Saturday together with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel I am today showing:

Dior Purple Mix 887 - a gorgeous purple creme polish with the famous Dior hidden shimmer. It is dark, but not blackened, and it has a slight dusty quality.
The formula is flawless and the dry time is good - but I do not like the wide brush in the newer Diors, I prefer the smaller brushes...
På denne Collaboration Saturday sammen med min veninde Elena fra PicturedTinsel viser jeg i dag:
Dior Purple Mix 887 - en smuk lilla cremelak med det berømte skjulte Dior shimmer. Den er mørk, men ikke over i det sorte, og den er en lille smule støvet.
Konsistensen er perfekt og den tørrer godt - men jeg er ikke vild med den brede pensel i de nyere Dior lakker, jeg foretrækker de mindre pensler...

Do you like Purple Mix...?
I wonder what Elena is showing us today, lets go and have a look :)
Hvad synes du om Purple Mix...?
Gad vide hvad  Elena viser os i dag, skal vi smutte over og kigge :)
