I have seen a return to the hippies of the late 1960s and 1970s throughout much of the fashion world for this spring. However, the trend officially became high class and something for me to lust after I saw that Chanel has jumped on the trend and created a new collection for this spring called “Bohemian Fantasy”. Yes, I’m a snob since I only love bohemian and hippie things after they have been “Chaneled”. Maybe this makeup could even turn me into a high class peace and love girl. Uhhhh…maybe…
Could it? Here’s the collection…
Exclusive Creation Levres Signees Chanel - Lips (Satin Lip Cream) - Irresistible, the five satin lip cream colours of LÈVRES SIGNÉES CHANEL - LIPS Satin Lip Cream form the legendary double C signature, with pale pink to deep plum shades. Limited Edition.

Am I complete bohemian? Not in the least but there are some products that I really want from this collection. First and foremost, I want the Satin Lip Cream palette. It is just too beautiful to be true. However, I don’t think that I could ever bring myself of spoil the Cs and actually use it. I just want to look at it all day long. I also want the Wild Rose Glossimer to enhance my natural lip color. I still like last spring’s collection better than this one but I am glad to see that Chanel is bringing bohemian beautifully into the mainstream.
