Fall Fashion and Makeup Essentials!

Hi all,

Since the Fall season is coming up fast, I've been going crazy with Fall fashion and makeup essentials, just to live this Fall to the max #youtuberprobs

Alas, here are my Fall essentials:

Fashion:

1. Chunky Sweaters

Chunky Sweaters are a definite must-have for fall; it's great to cozy up in by the couch, or really practical for those breezy-but-not-really days. What's the downside to looking fashionable yet huggable?!

2. Olive, olive, olive!
Olive is a super trendy colour this Fall, and you don't have to dress head to toe in green to be trendy. Just incorporate some olive-shaded accents into your outfit to stay super on-trend this Fall!

3. Fall boots
Um okay can I just express my love for leather boots in Fall... They look super cute with just jeans and a t shirt, or you can layer higher socks with it so your socks peek out from under your boots. Leather boots are such a classic for Fall, whether it's heeled, flat, tall or ankled, LOVE.

Makeup:

1. Rose Coloured Blush
Rose coloured blush looks great with the earthy tones of Fall, and with the darker months coming up, a rosy pink blush can really brighten up your face.

2. Glowy Skin
Glowy skin is again, super in this Fall season, but lezzbehonest when would you rather have dull looking skin......?
Luminizing products such as highlighters and products with reflective properties can brighten up your skin tone in these duller months, despite the drier skin and darker outfits!

3. Flirty Lashes
I absolutely adore bold, flirty lashes. It opens up the eyes and makes everything so much more fun! The only issue that I have is, when I find a really great mascara (ahem, Covergirl Lashblast, ahem), I'm there sitting in class, and my eyelid tickles because when I look up to take notes, my lashes brushes against my eyelids. First world problems much....

Okay and I'm just throwing this out there since we're on the topic of Fall, but I'm abso-freakin-lutely obsessed with the Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha. It is just beautiful.

So thats it, my Fall fashion and makeup (and drink!) essentials this Fall. Leave me a comment as to what your favourite Fall things are, or tweet me at @MissJulianaYu anytime!

Love,

Chanel Glossimer Lip Gloss Review in Rose Dilemma 144

Hi all,

So I've been obsessed with the show 2 Broke Girls (promo trailer here) and Caroline mentioned her love for Chanel lipglosses. It hit me that I've never owned a super high end lipgloss, I've had MAC, Benefit and a ton of drugstore ones. So of course, despite being a broke college girl, I had to get myself one. Just to try and justify it, its not like I got a Chanel lipgloss cos my current favourite TV show mentioned it (they used the Rouge Allure series, ha!) but my excuse was, since I'm starting a new university, new classes, and meeting new people, I might as well invest in a good lip gloss, something that I can just grab and go, and that I'll feel super confident in.

So I dragged my friend Elsie with me to a Chanel counter, and picked out a lipgloss! I was looking for something girly and pink, but slightly peachy. A "my lips, but better" shade. And the Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer in the shade Rose Dilemma 144 was the one I chose!

First of all, LOVE THE PACKAGING. It's a classic clear tube, with a gold rim and the wand attached to the black applicator with the classic Chanel Cs on the top.

The doefoot applicator distributes a perfect amount of product each time, so you wont need to re-dip the applicator into the lip gloss for more. That way, there will be minimum bacteria and air in the lip gloss in the product overtime, making it more long lasting.

Rose Dilemma 144 is a pink shade, with a hint of peach. Also, it has gold reflexes in it, giving it that sheen without that glittery effect. Also, I should mention that it's not really that sticky. Everyone knows how awkward it is when the wind blows and your wispy flyaway hair gets stuck to your lips. But it's actually just a little bit thicker than an average lip balm.

I've had this for a couple days now, and I can honestly say that it has really good lasting power. On me, it lasts around 4 hours with eating and drinking like normal. I must say that this is quite pricey though, at USD$29.50, but it's definitely worth it for the quality and colour pay-off.

I'll definitely be wearing this for all my upcoming university orientation days and camps. I feel so luxurious with this on whilst rocking the big, sexy Victoria Secret hair. 

Next time I post, I'll be at uni freshmen camp! I'm there from Sunday 18th until Tuesday 20th, but I'll have my trusty fellow Tweedler, Sally to post for me :)

Add me on twitter @MissJulianaYu to keep up with everything happening! And tweet me, I love getting tweets from you guys! No really, please, cos I'll have my phone with me at the camp and I'd be so bored in the wilderness so send me anything from a hello to a random joke!

Love, from Juliana! xox
