Furiously flipping through the pages of a magazine a few months ago I immediately stopped at a page with an image of Lip Color Perfection. This image:

Vanessa Paradis in a Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick campaign, her lips delectably tinted with Mademoiselle, the most delicious beige-rose shade I ever laid my eyes upon.

When I got to the Chanel makeup counter to ask about Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle, it was totally sold out! Apparently my idea of perfection seems to be in line with the rest of the world, ha ha!

(The last time I was so keen on getting a Chanel product was after seeing Uma Thurman’s deliciously dark, vampy nails painted in Rouge Noir in the movie Pulp Fiction. That particular nail color was also sold out everywhere I checked.)

Imagine my delight when I learned that Mademoiselle has been restocked. Soon, very soon, I’ll get my hands on you, Mademoiselle! *rubs hand in glee*
