Last year was full of new discoveries and great experiences. The world of cosmetics is developing at a very quick pace and it’s mind blowing what the beauty brands are launching lately.
This article is about my favourites in makeup and I must say that Chanel has evolved a lot in the makeup department since Lucia Pica.
The textures of all the products are so much better, the nail polishes have improved formulas and each makeup collection is so fun and with such beautiful shades.
Also, I love the fact, that the products are generally very pigmented and easy to use.
Thumbs up for Chanel Makeup!
Another VERY good brand is Victoria Beckham for Estée Lauder.
You definitely must try the products, the textures and formulas are absolutely fantastic.
They are pure luxury from A-Z; expensive but definitely worth it.
So, thumbs up for Victoria Beckham and Estée Lauder!

My Favourite Perfumes – 2017
This all looks like some lovely makeup. I don’t wear a lot of it, but I’ll keep this in mind when I do. I like all these lipstick shades.
I love Chanel and all their high quality products. I do own a few perfumes from Chanel but no make-up product yet. I did buy a lip gloss from Dior recently though which became my favorite, I use it all the time.
All these makeup products look absolutely amazing! They are all high end so this is what you expect when you buy them really
Woooo… i just got the reference list for ever 🙂 I am going to pick up the primer!!! Thanks for putting this together..
Chanel definitely knows how to make good make-up. I think these products are all very lovely, especially the lipsticks!
Oh my goodness what an amazing round up of products for 2017. I am in love with those Météorites Gold Pearl by Guerlain they look fab and the pot them come in is so cute.
Thank you so much for the review. I actually have the eye pencil at home and use it often.
I am so clueless when it comes to makeup! But this is quite a roundup! Need to check some of these out!
I haven’t tried Estée Lauder make up products. But I definitely love their Intuition perfume.
Hands down, Chanel does have one of the best eyeshadows. I really like the different colors they have.
Awesome design as well. 🙂
I do not ware make up on the daily. But these seem like very great products. You can never go wrong with Chanel, you do get the bang for your buck.
Those Ombre shadows from Chanel are amazing ! Do you have any tutorials on ombre shadowing ? I would love to learn that technique ! Im really bad at makeup hahaha ! I love Balenciagas new perfume too its so amazing ! Thanks for sharing <3
I’l do a tutorial soon !
I didn’t know Victoria Beckham partnered with Estee Lauder. I’d like to try her products.
Wow your photos are breathtaking! The Météorites Gold Pearl is simply stunning. So many great products you have shared.
Some of the products are very nice, experienced it already while others are still for me to try on. I hope it will meet my expectations.
Wow your favorites don’t come cheap do they? I’d love to get my hands on some of these but I am on a budget I am afraid! I am happy for you that you get to have them! Enjoy!
What a lovely picks! These all looks amazing. I’ve been obsessed with YSL and Chanel makeup products. Love the quality and their luxurious packaging.
Chanel made it through a lot of this list. Great compilation of high end beauty items.
Oh wow these all look incredible. I’ve seen the Météorites from Guerlain, such a beautiful collectors piece.
I see you’re a huge fan of Chanel. Love it. I want to know the name of the second chanel lipstick on the left in the main photo.
