Swatches | La Femme Blushes


Hey guys! I recently purchased these lovely La Femme blushes from Makeup Mania after hearing rave reviews about them. I bought the individual pans and put them in an empty palette that I bought from eBay.


Top Row: Naturelle, Soft Beige, Plum Soft, Peach Sparkle and Terracotta.
Bottom Row: Coral Spice, Rose, Misty Plum, Lilac Champagne and Fuchsia.

Swatches for the top row:

Natural Daylight

As you can see, most of them are really pigmented! The only one that disappointed me a little was Rose as it doesn't appear to have a good colour pay off, though it may show up nicer on a different skin tone. Ok, I take it back; it looks really nice when applied on the face!
Overall I'm impressed with the colour pay-off and the sheer range of shades La Femme offer is amazing!

These blush pans retail at $2.87 (roughly £2) each on Makeup Mania's website and the empty palette I bought from eBay for a couple of pounds.

Today's Look | Smokey Green


Here is a smokey look I created today using a cute Collection 2000 palette :) I do love a good smokey eye some days!


I also thought I'd try out a new way of styling my hair so it's not just hanging around my face.


Let me know what you think of this look, I appreciate feedback!

First Post


Hello! I'm completely new to the blogging world so please bare with me whilst I find my feet!

My name is Eloise Wilson and I'm a 20-something, aspiring makeup artist from England. I am currently studying an advanced makeup course at the prestigious Academy of Freelance Makeup (AOFM) in London and I'm absolutely loving it! This coming weekend will be my final weekend there and I'm definitely going to miss studying there. I will be posting my review of the course I was on once I have completed it :) After the course ends I will be working towards becoming a freelance makeup artist and I will blog about my journey.

I chose the name 'Chameleonesque' for this blog because beauty is changeable; it changes with time, era, mood, fashion, setting etc. and I also happen to love animals (reptiles in particular), so I felt that the title is fitting for what this blog will be about.

I hope you lovely readers enjoy my blog!
