Treat Your Monday Blues with Chanel’s Gazelle
My Chanel goodies from last week’s Nordstrom beauty event finally arrived in my mailbox over the weekend and it couldn’t come fast enough. You know I totally ripped into the box and spilled those packing popcorns everywhere (whoops!), but that didn’t bother clumsy old me - my Gazelle lip gloss was finally here!
Gazelle is a gorgeous peach with shimmer, making it a perfect warm, summer shade. This is definitely one that I’m going to tote along with me wherever I go - maybe even to some tropical beach vacation.. when we go, that is 
Here’s a quick FOTD for ya, I’m not really diggin’ my eye makeup. I wanted to do a forest green eye, but was in such a rush this morning that it turned into a muddy mess - boo..
How’s your Monday coming along? Mine is a bit of a mess, the first day of the week is always harder for me coming off of a low-key weekend - you know how it is!

I actually like the eyemakeup, though in the photo, it looks smoke-grey, not forest green. We’ll call it ‘Forest Fire’ for now. Overall, the whole look is very polished and pulled-together.
My Monday is not so great. I feel ill (bit late in the year for a flu, though) and my throat is very sore. I hope it’s just a temporary bug.

I tell you what….Glossimers are like potato chips, once you start with one…
I love the Gazelle too! Totally gorgeous on you!
Our Monday was a rainy one…booo! I can’t stand the rain.

Yay for Gazelle! Looks exquisite on you!

Hi Mandy,
The smoke gray is probably a result of too many colors, bad blending and a bad camera that doesn’t capture colors very well. I think that Forest Fire is an appropriate shade name for this
I hope you feel better girl, having a yucky bug during spring just doesn’t seem right at all.

Thanks Karen!
I’m glad I adopted Gazelle too - now if she can only transport me to the tropics, I’d be set!
On April 21st, 2008 Lilan said:
Hi Tiffany,
Thanks for stopping by to say hello! You should definitely pick up Gazelle - from what I’ve seen, it’s really pretty on just about everyone I’ve seen it on. I’m sure it’ll be especially pretty for your destination wedding, too!

Hi Nikki,
That’s actually what I really like about this color - it’s lovely enough to wear on it’s own when you just need a flash of color to run out the door. But it holds its weight when you wear it with a full on beauty look!
Have you tried Gazelle yet?
Hope you’re having a relaxing Monday! (Maybe Tuesday by the time you read this
)

Hi Beautytalk!
It’s funny because Karen totally inspired me to get Gazelle too! Let us know what you think if you pick it up!
On April 21st, 2008 Nikki said:
Hey there! NO haven’t checked Gazelle yet, will take a look at it tonight as I’ll be going to a beauty store tonight after office..uh - oh to my wallet. Anyways, it looks great on you..really, and I’m off for a sheer natural look
and my lips are a bit full and dark, so I can foresee this works well for me.
My tuesday is fine..i’m at the office, going for lunchbreak soon
I hope you have a great Monday!!! 
Hope your week will be better as the days roll by

Thanks Brittany!
You would look hot rockin’ these corals for the summertime in Florida, girl!
On April 21st, 2008 Lilan said:
LOL Jennifer!
You are sooo right, once you have one, you have to have them all. I only have 4 glossimers (booo) - how many do you own?
Aww, I’m sorry it’s been raining in your neck of the woods. It’s was a little chilly here but not too bad. At least the wind died down a bit. But, I think I saw on the news earlier that we’re going to get some sprinkles tomorrow (double boo)
On April 21st, 2008 Lilan said:
Thanks Glosslizard!
I didn’t want to be left out of the group since you just picked one up too
And the ladies at Nordie’s really love when I adopt items from the Chanel counter - LOL

Hey Nikki,
My wallet was not too happy with me when I come home from Nordie’s last week. BUT, my makeup bag is super excited!
My Monday is definitely winding down - just catching up on a few things before I hit the sack early. Have a good day at work - hope you have a yummy lunch

That reminds me of some lipgloss I have…obviously out of rotation right now or I woudl remember! Very pretty. I am trying to figure out what your ethnicity is…I am thinking Filipina, like me (well, I am only half). Am I right? Well, whatever you are, you are pretty!
On April 22nd, 2008 Elizabeth said:
Oops, wrong guess, huh? I just googled you and found your whole name. (giggles)
On April 22nd, 2008 Lilan said:
Hiya Elizabeth!
Hopefully you can remember which color it is and tell me - I’m really getting into warmer corals and peaches this year. Before I was all about the pinks but I’m turning a new leaf!
Also, I’m Vietnamese although everyone always guesses differently. Some days I’m Korean, Chinese, Filipina, even Japanese! Does that make me a chameleon??
On April 22nd, 2008 Elizabeth said:
Well, Nars makes a lipgloss in the Orgasm shade now (a shimmery peach), so you should check it out! I wear the Orgasm blush but I can’t pull off peach lipgloss.
On April 22nd, 2008 Jamie said:
That is such a gorgeous lipgloss! It looks beautiful on you!
On April 22nd, 2008 Lilan said:
Hi Elizabeth,
I’ve heard about Orgasm blush but never got to try it! I haven’t picked up the lipgloss either, but I’m sure I will very soon! Did you know that NARS created a nail polish in Orgasm as well?

Hi Jamie,
Thanks so much! Hope your Tuesday is going well!
