CHANEL Jade Nail Collection.

How utterly beautiful are these shades? I saw a few of my friends sporting this CHANEL shades during New York Fashion Week, and now I am wanting them both.

Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, Peter Philips, created the Jade Nail Collection with two limited edition nail enamels. Check out “Jade” and “Jade Rose” for the Ready-to-Wear Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 runway show. These mineral-inspired shades transform the nails into genuine gems and recall the jade jewelry and the pink knit and pistachio tweed of the fashion collection.

The Jade Nail Collection will be sold for limited time exclusively at www.chanel.com, CHANEL Makeup Studios and CHANEL boutiques for $25.00.

CHANEL Mousse Exfoliante Purete.

I may not have oily skin, but every now and then my skin needs a good "cleaning out". Though this new cleanser was made specifically for combination/oily skin, CHANEL's Mousee Exfoliante Purete, does an amazing job at cleaning out my pores while exfoliating the gunk out of them.

This high performing foaming cleanser uses a powerhouse of an ingredient, Tulip Tree Extract.

Tulip Tree Extract is a natural de-pollution agent known to effectively stop environmental aggressors before damage is done. This precious substance, secreted on the surface of the Tulip Tree’s leaves, traps pollutants that are then washed away by rainwater. Adding to the efficacy, Bioglucane, a biotechnological ingredient, empowers the formula to help preserve and protect skin’s barrier function. Combination-to-oily skin immediately sees benefits as gentle exfoliating beads and natural Meadowsweet Extract control surface oils. A luxuriously lightweight texture glides on for new suppleness and a healthy, natural glow.

Using Mousse Exfoliante Purete once a week has kept my skin in a better than usual shape. If your skin is more on the oily side, you would definitely benefit by using this everyday.

MOUSSE EXFOLIANTE PURETÉ Exfoliating Cleansing Foam Purity + Anti-Pollution is $45.00, on counter now at www.CHANEL.com, select CHANEL boutiques, and department and specialty stores.

CHANEL Unveils New "N˚5" Film.

CHANEL unveils the highly anticipated short film, Train de Nuit, starring actress Audrey Tautou and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. This artistic piece will launch at 12:00AM on May 5, 2009 exclusively at http://www.chaneln5.com.

To celebrate the iconic fragrance and latest campaign, May 5, 2009 has been designated by the city of New York as CHANEL N˚5 Day. CHANEL and Saks Fifth Avenue have partnered for this significant occasion during which a portion of Fifth Avenue will be renamed AVENUE N˚5 for the week.

Designed to reflect Coco Chanel’s very modern fashion philosophy, CHANEL N° 5 is a rich modern floral blend of Grasse Jasmine, May Rose, Neroli, Bourbon Vanilla and Ylang-Ylang with gentle precious woods. The world’s most famous fragrance made its debut in 1921 after Coco Chanel asked the great perfumer, Ernest Beaux, to create a fragrance that “smells like women” and was unlike any other fragrance.
N°5 was her lucky number and it was the fifth submission presented to Mademoiselle Chanel on the fifth day of the fifth month of the year.

As the fragrance’s newest spokeswoman, Audrey Tautou incarnates the CHANEL N°5 woman—seductive and elegant, chanting and alluring, with an irreverent spirit and timeless modernity. On May 5, as part of the advertising campaign, CHANEL will unveil the highly anticipated short film titled Train de Nuit starring Audrey Tautou and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The film, which reveals the intriguing world of CHANEL N°5 and the power of its seduction, will launch exclusively online on www.chaneln5.com on May 5.

 

As a thank you to the city of New York for its support in making CHANEL N°5 Day possible, CHANEL and Saks will partner to create a new arts program at P.S. 5, the Ellen Lurie Elementary School. The donation will provide funding for the arts program, specifically four separate after-school arts classes—graphic arts, photography, chess and drama—as well supplies and field trips to a local museum or cultural institution for each class. Participating children will benefit from the after school program, which they will be able to attend for an hour and a half four times a week.
