PC featured in Beauty High’s 10 Top Beauty Bloggers Share Their Best Beauty Tricks and Fall Must-Haves

Talk about a great birthday present, my feature in Beauty High 10 Top Beauty Bloggers Share Their Best Beauty Tricks and Fall Must-Haves article is now live!

{How great do all my fellow bloggers look?}

For fall I’m all about bold, red lips and MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Rouge #8 is the perfect long lasting, high pigmented lip stain/gloss duo. I’m also really into metallic accents and with all the army green we’ve seen from the runway I love MAKE UP FOR EVER Metal Powder. It builds into a really beautiful shimmer and the formula is gorgeous; it goes on clean and is so soft and silky. I’m also rocking some serious false eyelashes from Sephora brand in Celebrity and all bronzed up with Guerlain Terracotta matched with a CND Shellac manicure from Jin Soon Spa.

{I’m wearing Nicole Miller jacket, pants and shoes, matched with a vibrant red Bill Blass top and C. Wonder bracelets}

More info released on CHANEL N°5 mens fragrance starring Brad Pitt #CHANELN5

We’re getting closer to solving the mystery that’s been surrounding the recent buzz around the new CHANEL No.5 mens fragrance. Last week, CHANEL released virtually no details surrounding the campaign except that Brad Pitt would be the face of the fragrance and with that there was a 7 second video with Brad saying: “What’s the mystery.” (You can see the video HERE). They also released a count down date of the 15th for more details — and what many of us hoped would be the launch date of the fragrance (although CHANEL would confirm nothing)

Well good new friends, it’s the 14th and CHANEL has shared with us the campaign and 30 second CHANEL No.5 film starring Brad Pitt. Check it:

I’m so confused by this fragrance! What is the male perspective on the most feminine fragrance of all time? Brad Pitt with long hair, a gotye, and dressed in a casual button-up shirt? I can maybe be sold if he was decked out in a perfectly fitted Chanel tux looking unbelievable sexy and mysterious while still coming off
