It is an all too frequent occurrence that beauty gems get bundled to the back of a drawer. Collecting dust and not seeing the light of day, it’s not until I get down to having a good ol’ clear up that I polish them off and vow to enlist them back into my daily rotation. That’s exactly what happened to the following oft-neglected products; beauts that I’ve welcomed back into the bag with open arms…
CHANEL Soleil Tan de CHANEL – £30 – from House of Fraser. This cream textured, bronzer-upper is the tub that set the ball rolling for this post. It’s resided in my stash for way too long (what expiry date, huh?) and although it’s much coveted I find this cowering in the corner all the darn time. I actually like quite using it all over to correct a too-pale foundation and have vowed that this will be the summer that Soleil Tan de CHANEL comes to the frontline.
Burberry Complete Eye Palette in Pink Taupe* – £40 – from John Lewis. How gorgeous is this? A quad housing rosey hued shadows that makes a nice change to the golden lid washes I usually reach for. You can’t beat a good Burberry eyeshadow; the buttery blendable formulas rock and I sense the the namesake pink taupe to be getting a lot of use over the coming weeks. Come on burbs.
CHANEL Le Vernis Nail Colour in Frenzy – £18 – from House of Fraser. This polish often gets lost in my sea of nude polishes, but chippy formula aside it’s a stunner of a shade, and one that’s up there with my all-time favourite, Nails Inc Porchester Square. A greige with a hint of lavender; I’m getting a headstart and rocking it on my toes already.
MAC Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfinish – currently unavailable. Oh the lengths I went to to get my hands on this limited edition bad boy. I had it shipped over from a blog sale in the end yeeears ago and remember staring at it all the way home from the Post Office. It’s easily the most beautiful product photographed, but this coral swirled highlighter never gets the love it deserves. Sheeny peachy cheeks, be mine.
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance – £28 – from Space NK. Why do I never learn with primers? My base  always disappears by mid-afternoon and I’m left wondering where the hell it’s gone. The primer posse is a little thin on the ground, but with my base slipping off my face it’s a step I really need to indulge in more often and this glow-ramping offering will be top of the pile. Lesson learnt.
