I got an email about color this morning!
(The above imagine is of Urban Decay Eyeshadow from the Sephora website, the link is below.)
And I will refer you all to a favorite place of mine on the internet:
I am rather a fanatic for Chanel when it comes to color for many reasons. I have never purchased any Chanel color that I have not used entirely (unless I left it behind and forgot about it, and this was ONLY once!)
The colors are not only classic but they do go with trends, but always in the most elegant way and with colors you can use after the season is over, never to be put in the cosmetic graveyard.
Oh there are other wonderful companies, I love Yves Saint Lauren, Dior, Nars, and the list goes on.
and also please visit:
But Chanel always will hold a place in my heart.
Now, on to Lyrical`s wonderful dilemma, of choosing a new single eyeshadow color for daytime use.
I know the one I would choose if I had this problem (of an e-card to Sephora), but alas, I do believe Sephora does not have Chanel makeup, only Chanel fragrance.
But I am sticking partially with this Chanel theme for a moment!
I love this:
this is called Safari and comes as a single color. It looks very grey on my screen with the sunlight, but it is actually earthier in real life.
This is the one single Chanel I own, and use it every single time I wear makeup: 
This is called silvery. And I use it over this:
and this is a YSL duo from last Autumn that I think can be found on rare occasions, but it is wonderful.
Now Lyrical, I know you said no blending, and I can assure you that I can put makeup on in 2 minutes, 5 minutes when I really take my time.
I put a thin line of the green on my lid just over my eyelashes, and then if I want to change from green to navy silvery, I add a bit of the Chanel silvery over it. Magic! I was shown this trick from a makeup artist last month. A cool American guy that now lives in Hamburg. (and he worked with Chanel for years and now works for a wonderful Boutique in North Germany and travels around Germany doing makeup, and he rocks!)
So, now we still have a dilemma, as you want a SINGLE, and not a duo, and Sephora does not have Chanel. So I will edit this as the day goes on!
Oh, guys (and I mean the MEN that come here) , I know you are bored out of your gourds here, but hey, women have to have their fun, too!
Urban Decay:
This one looks good. This is what it is called:
Maui Wowie
(sandy colored sheen)
Item # 856880
also this: Midnight Cowboy
(beige with silver glitter)
Item # 238881 and the color is this:
Sephora online:
and wow, these are 16 USDs?
That is only 10,25 Euro! That is how much our drugstore eyeshadows are! Not kidding, that is about what a Max Factor costs here. But to be fair, our Chanel is most likely cheaper. I have to look into this. I am curious now. Must be import taxes, transport, and the state of the dollar and euro.
