Chanel Brick Lip Compact 2017

BUYER BEWARE
FAKE CHANEL BRICK COMPACT 
SOLD ON EBAY & POSHMARK
Evcurlgurl.com

***UPDATED FEBRUARY 26, 2020*** Due to the overwhelming "interest" in the Chanel Brick lipstick (and the messages I have been receiving the past three days since MAC announced a relaunch), is why I have decided to update all my posts containing mention of the Chanel Brick compact, stressing what I have been saying since 2000! This compact is NOT available online or anywhere. I can guarantee you all, that any so-called brick compact purchased after 1997, when it was discontinued, are without a doubt, 100% COUNTERFEIT HOW DO I KNOW? Well for starters, I have met numerous times with Chanel Beauty brand reps, even as recent as this week, and it has been confirmed once again. It's sad that some take advantage of fans, just to make a "quick buck". What those of you purchasing these horrible knock-offs should be more concerned with, is not losing your hard-earned money, but rather what ingredients these amateurs are putting in these palettes, which you then put on your lips. ~Ev (You're welcome!)

The color is WRONG (Chanel Brick is not burgundy or red, but a muted terra cotta!) The texture is wrong (it's a gloss & liner - NOT A LIPSTICK... Brick is not even matte!) The formula is w-r-o-n-g. Even compared to my 1997 compact, which is STILL not dry or "rancid", as one fan nicely put it and the reason why I hand-wrote today's date on it - STILL WRONG! See, I knew someone was up to no good when I was approached last year by an unknown "brand", asking me for detailed pictures, a "piece for sampling" and possibly buy my Chanel Brick lipstick compact for $10,000 CASH. It was only a matter of time before someone - and I certainly don't mean CHANEL, whom I met with last week to compare this "newly found fake sample" and also worked for in 2007 - cooked up a scheme to produce and sell counterfeit Chanel Brick lipsticks, sold out of California.

NEW Twinings Tea

INTRODUCING THREE NEW 
TWININGS EARL GREY TEA BLENDS



Two weeks ago I enjoyed a pre-launch event with Twinings: #TheArtofEarlGrey, where we were treated to samples of the three newest Earl Grey blends: Jasmine, Lavender, and Extra Bold (20ct. Box - MSRP: $2.99). Despite my love for coffee, I enjoyed the new blends (Jasmine is my fave) and received a few personal tea blend tips from Stephen Twining himself. From tea to treats and talk (I loved the personalized, hand-painted tea pots), I was instantly hooked and had a bit too much tea perhaps. Here's a little background: Twinings classic Earl Grey tea was first blended by Richard Twining in 1831, when Prime Minister Charles Grey asked him to replicate a tea he once received by a Chinese Mandarin. The Prime Minister gave his approval, which resulted in the creation of the first Earl Grey blend. To this day Twinings Earl Grey boxes are signed by descendants of Mr. Charles Grey.
