CHANEL Ombres Lamees de Chanel Eyeshadow Palette.

CHANEL Ombres Lamees de Chanel Eyeshadow Palette.

CHANEL has released their most beautiful eyeshadow palette to date with this brand new very limited edition Ombres Lamees de Chanel Eyeshadow Palette. It is simply breathtaking! Drawing on inspiration from beautifully tailored materials often found in CHANEL's menswear and womenswear lines, I don't even want to use it because it is just so pretty. The Ombres Lamees de Chanel Eyeshadow Palette is definitely a collectible in my book.

CHANEL Summer 2016 Makeup Collection: Danis La Lumière de L’été.

CHANEL Summer 2016 Makeup Collection: Danis La Lumière de L’été.

When CHANEL does a makeup collection, they look for inspiration. For this years summer makeup collection, Danis La Lumière de L’été, they not only looked at the desert adventure (another nod to the music festival culture?), they looked at the desert and shimmering sand itself. One glance at the beautiful Quadra eyeshadow palette and you will see what I mean.

Holiday 2015: CHANEL Collection Vamp Attitude.

Can you believe it's been 20 years since CHANEL introduced their VAMP nail polish? I remember it so well — I probably have a bottle of the stunning black-red shade stashed around here somewhere. It was a sell-out and it became legendary. For this years holiday collection, CHANEL has taken that Vamp shade and created an entire collection around it and the glamour that the shade represented for Collection Vamp Attitude.

Of course, my favorite piece of the collection has got to be the Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow with a shade that is oh so reminiscent of Vamp. It's so dramatic and goes beautifully with the gold, beige and lavender taupe shades that complete the palette. I always love the embossing the CHANEL shadows and this one features a double-C monogram.

Also in a black-red shade is the Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow which is quite shimmery. This makes for a gorgeous smoky, shimmery holiday eye for nighttime. Finish it off with the Le Volume de CHANEL Mascara in Rouge Noir, which is an intense red-black.

The Joues Contraste Lumière Highlighting Blush is simply gorgeous and it is the perfect complement to the darker black-red shades in the rest of the collection. This blush in Coups de Minuit is a golden peach shade that is soft and golden on it own. I like to layer it over other blush shades.

Of course, the lippies are all beautiful and if you'd ask me to pick a favorite, I'd be hard pressed. I'm always drawn to the Glossimer's and the shimmering soft pink of Rose de Lune is certainly beautiful. I really like Ultra Wear Lip Colour in Merry Rose and have been wearing the grey pink shade quite a bit. It's a wonderful neutral lip shade that is very long-wearing.

Finally, I think everyone needs the Le Top Coat Gold Sparkle Nail Coat. This is a multi-effect top coat that contains a really unique combination of black-red lacquer with high-gloss metallic shine. It pairs perfectly with the original, trendsetting Vamp shade, of course.
