When I realized what the package in my mailbox was, I immediately started leaping around in excitement - I'm pretty sure my mom thought I was at least slightly crazy, and possibly completely bonkers. Of course I had to apply Paradoxal right away (though now I wish I had waited until I noticed that I needed to retake my Yachty, Yachty, Yadda pictures), and I was not at all disappointed. Paradoxal went on in two perfect, non-streaky, buttery coats, and it's absolutely gorgeous. I say this way too often, but I'm in love - hence the major picspamming. I can't help myself! Unfortunately, the sun had no plans to come out and play, so I'll have to wait and see if it comes out tomorrow, because I'm sure I'll still be wearing this then.

The indoor and outdoor pictures (without flash) are color-accurate, but I went ahead and took a couple pictures with flash to show off the shimmer. I adore this color. It's a purple grey color with a shy purple shimmer that only really comes out in certain lights. Paradoxal is completely unique to my collection, though Models Own Purple Grey is a good creme dupe for the base color. I feel so lucky to have won this, and I still have trouble believing that I actually own a bottle of Chanel! I'm starstruck. Thanks for reading, and I hope you're all a wonderful day!
