Spring 2013: CHANEL PRINTEMPS PRÉCIEUX DE CHANEL.

January is not even over, but I cannot hold out any longer. It is time to start talking spring. I really wanted to put it off, but after seeing the beautiful Spring 2013 CHANEL Collection, I had to share.

Named for the precious beauty of Spring, the new colour collection PRINTEMPS PRÉCIEUX DE CHANEL
celebrates Gabrielle Chanel’s codes of simplicity and sophistication. Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup
Peter Philips channels the season’s splendor with a collection of contrasts. Elegant neutrals complement soft-to-sultry pinks on face and lips, while nails are adorned with vivid polish.

I love the balance of both the pastel and the vivids in the collection.

The Illuminating Powder is divine. Look really good into the powder. Yes - those are some signature CHANEL items you are seeing embossed into the powder itself. Does it get any more beautiful?

Embossed with iconic emblems of CHANEL, the powder creates a naturally luminous effect in two ways. The blend of soft peach and warm beige shades applies with a new sponge applicator for a sheer, radiant glow on cheekbones or with a powder brush for natural, allover radiance.

The Eye Shadow Quad is already a favorite and I will be creating captivating eye looks with it this spring and beyond. Look at the beautiful shades of mauve beige and browns.

An ultra-feminine palette of refined beiges and velvety browns offers subtle-to-seductive eye looks.

I love a CHANEL Lip Colour and these ROUGE ALLURE shades run the spectrum and are pretty perfect in every way. They feel so nice and cushiony on my lips. I love the true color and lasting power these have, without ever compromising the way my lips feel.

Holiday 2012: CHANEL Eclats du Soir de Chanel.

It is time to start talking Holiday. With less than two months until Christmas, and so many beautiful holiday collections and beauty gifts popping up on my desk, I figured I better get moving and finally start sharing my favorites with you. First up is a beautiful Holiday makeup collection from CHANEL.

This years Chanel Holiday collection is called entitled ÉCLATS DU SOIR DE CHANEL. Intrigued by the alchemy of precious metals, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, created this beauty of collection that sets the mood for the whole season. Gold and bronze shade harmonies, dust eyes with festive shimmer, while soft beige, pinks and deep reds set the face, lips and nails aglow - perfect for all the celebrations to come.

While all the pieces are ripe for the picking, if you want to give a Chanel lover the ultimate gift, pick the Regard Signe de Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow palette. Each shadow is embossed with a quilted effect and the CC monogram, reminiscent of the classic Chanel jacket button. You have to love it, as every Chanel fan would.
