Are You A Beauty Products Junkie? Have I got a site for you!

Today among many other things, my email inbox held my weekly beauty update buzz that I always look forward to and for some reason it finally occurred to me to share it with you!

Have you heard of BeautySnob.com?

I don't even remember how I originally found the site, but I have really come to look forward to the weekly newsletter I get from them via email.

CHANEL "NOIRS OBSCURS" Collection

| 2 Comments
chanelnoir.jpgI am addicted to dark polish right now. Have OPI's Black Cherry Chutney on today and I feel very vampire-ish-- really like how it makes my skin look pale and flawless. Am very excited about the launch ofCHANEL's "Noirs Obscurs" this month. CHANEL does amazing dark polishes (remember Vamp!?!?) and shadow quads but I don't know about the black lipstick. Ahead of her time as an arbiter of style and color authority, Mademoiselle Chanel recognized and revered the color black as a symbol of luxury, modernity, sophistication and seduction.

Today, Peter Philips creates a tribute to black with an avant-garde collection of trend-defining eye, lip and nail shades, uncovering the many nuances and undertones of this iconic shade. Not many of us can carry off an entire face of rouge noirs, so we suggest choosing one feature to focus on the face to go with the dark nails. All at CHANEL.com (Jump for colors and prices!)


The newsletter is a synopsis of the week's update on the site, while the actual site holds MUCH MORE from all their past weekly updates.

I love it because while maybe not all of the products or stories each week will be relevant to me, I often find out about a new product or trend long before I would have normally stumbled on the info.

And don't let the name fool you -- BeautySnob.com is
anything but snobbish.
