Les 4 Ombres Byzances Fall 2023 Byzances didn't impress me that much but I like the Fall collection!

I have been buying a lot less beauty this year, but 1/5 still has been a fail, so I need to do better in that regard! I will say because I've been spending less on random things, it's been a much nicer feeling when I do buy something I really want.

I spent 30% less on beauty, skincare, haircare etc. in 2022 vs 2021. Still spent a huge amount, so hoping to stick to an overall budget (beauty, skin, hair, etc.) of 2500 this new year.

Hope you can find a good one! :)

After a two month no buy I went on a bit of a Chanel spree. I picked up 2 nail (Harmonie and Désir) polishes, 5 fall lipsticks (195, 199, 206, 209, 212), the fall quad and I ordered the Tweed 04 Brun et Rose quad. I was a bit shocked by the price to be honest, I don't think it's worth it but as...

I had not seen it, thanks! Look different there too! I think I was just wishing it to be a bit more like holiday 2015.

No make-up buying in July, only bought a new hairbrush. eta: will def. have to refill my setting spray

I thought it was going to be a bit more mauve/pink and cooler like in the promo picture. Kind of disappointed..

After some horrible spending months, I haven't bought any make-up in June. Hoping to make July as successful.

I got the brush and two bronzers. I haven't been so pleased with a Les Beiges collection in years (not that the previous ones were bad, but finally something different)

February update: It's the 28th of February here, after 10 pm.. So I can safely say that I haven't bought any makeup or haircare this month, and for skincare I bought one replacement (under €14) so I consider this month a small success for me (and I know it's the shortest month but I take a win...

I have never used Charlotte Tilbury, but for Chanel I like using their neutral quads. I like Tissé Rivoli and Candeur et Experience a lot.

There's also going to be new eyeshadows Les Ombres Tweed coming (no idea when), I def. want to pick up one of these. Chanel came in strong 2022..

The Lip cheek balms are part of the N°1 De Chanel skincare (and tiny makeup) range. In my country (Belgium) I just saw it online at Ici Paris XL (our version of Sephora/Douglas/etc), and in France I've seen it online at Sephora, Nocibe, ... My guess is that it'll probably come to the physical...

@boschicka this lady was braver than me and swatched them :ROFLMAO:

I haven't dared to swatch anything yet haha 😁 But once I do I'll let you know!

I also ordered the eyeshadow palette, along with the two blushes and the yellow nail polish. I also picked up the La Comète blushes (these feel like old school Chanel to me), and one of the new lip/cheeck pots. It was definitely a very tempting week with so many new launches!

I'm in! The last few years I tried hard to stick to rules, a budget, a low buy, but every year I end up spending the same amount of money. It's like I have no self control, even if I do well one month I cave the next. My problem these last two years was that the buying didn't stop, but me...

I have nothing against sneak peaks, but lately I've been finding I'd much rather wait for an official sneak peak from an actual promo image. These lift a bit of the magic because a) they're usually not good pics and b) it's still (end of) august... I want to be in the mood to see holiday!
