My First Chanel Item

I purchased my first Chanel item, at the end of the summer as a birthday gift to myself. I own a Chanel mirror, which I absolutely adore. I wanted a new wallet, and had my eye on the Chanel Quilted Boy Zip All Around Coin Purse wallet, for almost a year! The wallet was purchased from Fashionphile, an online consignment website. The wallet was described as new, which means the item was in excellent condition and rarely used. My wallet came in a small Chanel box, that is just adorable as a décor for a dresser or vanity.

Inside the box, the item was accompanied with the authentication card by Chanel, the  store tags, and a Fashionphile dust bag for the wallet. This is my third time shopping for pre-loved luxury items on Fashionphile. Their descriptions of items are always on point, which is a level of customer service, I really appreciate. Fashionphile has a 90-day layaway program, which allows the shopper to pay for their item in 3 payment installments. The layaway program is not sponsored by a third-party program, and it's strictly Fashionphile. At Fashionphile, you do not have to worry about fake items being sold. Fake items are destroyed at the facility and each bag goes though an intense authentication process by certificated authenticators.

What I love about this wallet, is that it's in the Chanel Boy style with silver hardware. The Caviar leather is smooth with a bit of texture to it. The day I'm ready to purchase my first Chanel handbag, I would like a similar style and hardware, like my wallet.  I'm not sure of the dimensions however, this wallet is small, and it suits my lifestyle just fine. I am able to fit multiple credit cards in this wallet, and each card is easy to slip in and out. I can also store cash in my wallet however, I do have to fold it over to fit. The only negative issue I have with this wallet, is that the zipper is made of plastic. I'm usually very careful with my items however, I do get scared the zip may break one day. Never the less, this is a great introductory piece for someone who wants to start a luxury handbag collection.

My Fall Skin Care Wish List

As we all know Fall is approaching, and the air outside is much drier than it is during the warmer months. Everyone needs to give their skin a little extra hydration during the Fall and Winter months. Many of us don't pay close attention to our skin and how to care for it accurately. I often find, at times the quick easy drug store buys like lotions, facial masks, and cleansers don't get the job done efficiently. I'm not going to lie, there are some great drug store brands out there that work just as good as higher end products. Aveeno moisturizing skin care products are my favorite go-to-brand for my skin during the warmer months. Now that fall/winter is approaching, I find that my skin needs a different type of moisture and care. I am going to list some of the products I would like to test out this season to meet my skin care needs. Once I decide which product I want to try first I would most certainly have a review up for each product(s).

• CHANEL HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE: I heard so many great things about this moisturizer however, the price will blow you away at $72.00 a pop. I think this would be a great splurge if you have the extra cash to buy this. I will be saving up for this... I may not purchase this until winter due to the high price. This can be found at Nordstrom or Saks and other high-end department stores

•  Boscia Oil-Free Daily Hydration SPF 15: $36 and can be found at Sephora

• Boscia Pore Purifying Black Strips $15

• Boscia Luminizing Black Mask $34 can be found at Sephora

• Bosica Balancing Facial Tonic $24 can be found at Sephora: This stuff is the best! I have used this previously in the past. This was my first product ever that I tried from the Boscia line. This facial tonic gets all the impurities out of my face and leaves it feeling clean and fresh. It also kept my face clear and free from unwanted pimples. 

• Bliss Triple Oxygen + C Energizing Cream: $54 and can be found at Sephora: I received a travel sample size of this cream from Sephora a long time ago. This smells great and adds moisture to my face without making it oily or greasy. The price of this is pretty steep but it's well worth the buy. 

That's it for my Fall Skin Care Wish List. I may pick 3 of these products to buy  based on previous experiences with the products, how they benefit the skin, and reviews. I think these are great products to look into if you're looking to improve the condition of your skin.
