Many brands came out with foundations in January. I like that brands are including more skincare ingredients in their makeup products. The No 1 De Chanel Foundation has skincare benefits as well. I was drawn to it, because of the skincare benefit claims.

Enriched with Red Camellia Oil and moisturizing ingredients, the formula softens skin and helps protect against environmental aggressors. The complexion appears plump and naturally more beautiful.

Pink and red are colors associated with Valentine's Day. This year I decided to do my Valentine's look with some fun pink makeup. Pink eyeshadow is out of my comfort zone. Pink lipsticks I adore.
