Bold, bright summer lips by Chanel
I’ve been affectionately calling summery shades like these my “popsicle lipsticks” because they’re juicy, shiny and absolutely delicious…in the figurative sense, of course! You probably won’t find me nibbling these tubes when I’m feeling peckish, haha!
Side note: I think I may have just invented something!

Are you ready for it? here goes: ice cream that looks like lipstick. ?? Boom. Wouldn’t that be cool? I’d be all over it. MAKE IT HAPPEN, TRADER JOE’S.
Anywho, I’m revisiting my Chanel lipsticks, and these three are in Chanel’s permanent collection. I think they’re all perfect brights for summer.
Rouge allure velvet in 43 La favorite ($40), a reddish coral with a matte finish that has a touch of luminosity, represents something I think Chanel does extremely well: finish. This lippie has je ne sais quoi, and you can build it up or sheer it out. Of course, both ways are super pretty.

Rouge Coco in 472 Experimental ($40) is a warm red with a touch of orange, and it reminds me that I’m a big fan of the Rouge Coco line because of how moisturizing the lippies are. My dry lips greatly appreciate that.
Rouge allure in 172 Rouge Rebelle ($40) is a bright neutral red with a satin finish, and it works particularly well with warm brown eyeshadow!
I’m on a Chanel kick, as you can see.

It’s a Cruel Summer.
No, I’m not talking about the Bananarama song… ?
Is it just me, or can these girls only barely sing?
I just started watching this young adult-ish mystery show called Cruel Summer, and I blame it for my lack of sleep last night!
It’s about two girls whose lives become intertwined after one gets kidnapped.
The episodes bounce back and forth between 1993, 1994 and 1995, and I’m having all sorts of nostalgia for my ’90s-era wardrobe. I wish I hung on to my oversized overalls, striped knit shirts, baggy Levis and floral dresses, le sigh!

Also, the suspense is keeping me up at night. note to self: go to sleep early THIS EVENING. Don’t say I didn’t warn you if you start marathoning it on Hulu (that’s where I found it).
Vaša priateľská susedská krása,
