It is now time for the Summer 2009 collection from the legendary House of Chanel. I wasn't really into the Spring collection and the assorted hippee trappings of their latest few looks so lets see if this collection might work out better for me. This collection is called Cote D'Azur Collection and it is descrbied as "Sun-kissed shades set the tone for Summer's vibrant bronzed beauty" on the Bergdorf Goodman website. Bronzy shades again aren't my cup of tea so this might not work out well for me.
Here is the collection...
Soleil Tan de Chanel (4 Facettes Bronzing Powder) - No beach time? SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL 4 Facettes Bronzing Powder delievers a subtle, natural glow with a quartet of skin warming shades any time, anywhere.
Soleil Tan de Chanel (Precious Bronzing Loose Powder) - Your perfect tan starts here. This lightweight powder formula for face and decollete blends beautifully, without streaking, for a sun-kissed look that is completely natural. Limited Edition.
- Effect Hale - soft copper
Joues Contrast (Powder Blush) - Unique powder blusher imparts a flattering radiance to cheeks. As a highlight, gives a healthy glow. Use to accentuate features (cheekbones, eyes forehead, chin) for a professional result. Remarkably silky texture for easy application and subtle shading. Natural hair brush. Accentuate cheekbones for a youthful look. Softer tones around the eyes soften expression and rejuvenate.
- In Love - pink coral
Lumieres Facettes (Iridescent Effects Eyes) - A luminous palette with four pyramids of shimmery colour that can be worn on eyelids individually, in complementary pairs, or in striking contrast.
- Plein Soleil - quartet of pinks and bronzes
Ombre d'Eau (Fluid Iridescent Eye Shadow) - Fluid eye shadow imparts a long-lasting veil of iridescent colour, from subtle to intense. Achieves a cool 'ray of light' effect that lasts hour after beautiful hour. Bi-phase liquid powder shakes to combine for a lightweight colour and feel. Hydro-soluble polymer guarantees a long-lasting result. Soft and light aquatic materials minimize lines and dryness. Shake before use. For intense colour, apply shadow directly to lid and allow it to dry completely. For a more subtle effect, apply shadow to lid, then blend with fingertip before it has dried.
- Seashore - copper rose
- Source - pink gold
Inimitable Mascara (Mascara Multi-Dimensional) - The mascara that delivers it all - volume, length, curl, and precise separation - is now in waterproof. The original ahead-of-the-curve formula and unique brush design deliver exceptionally gorgeous lashes that stay that way, even through inclement weather or time in the pool.
- Noir - black
Ombre Essentialle (Soft Touch Eye Shadow) - An instant CHANEL classic, this ultra-fine powder eye shadow is senuous in feel, foolproof in its application, fabulous in its range of finishes: matte, shimmer, and satin. All shades are complementary and can be blended with one another to lighten, darken, or intensify tone.
- Island - soft beach
- Sand - dark beige
Aqualumiere (Sheer Color Lipshine SPF 15) - Imparts brilliant color with a semi-transparent effect. A brilliant pop of sheer colour and ultra-creamy texture provide an immediate sensation of softness and comfort. Lips are throughly hydrated with a nourishing, soothing, and fortifying action. The formula delivers total protection against outdoor damage. Smooth, lightweight formula imparts ultra-sheer, transparent coverage. Vitamin E provides free radical protection and comfort. Vitamin B helps increase ability of lips to retain moisture. SPF 15 provides UVA/UVB protection.

I didn't have high hopes for this collection after seeing the description but I must say that Chanel may have proven me wrong. It seems that many of these shades have a pink tone in them and there is a range of shades (therefore they may actually have something that will work with my pale skin). I actually want a large amount of this collection. To start off, I really want to get the Soleil Tan de Chanel and Lumieres Facettes. I also want the In Love shade of the Joues Contrastes. I want both of the shades of the liquid eye shadow and the Island shade of the powder shadow. Lip wise, I also want quite a bit from this collection. I want the lipstick in Ischia and Saline and the lip glosses in Cherry Blossom and Candy Glow. I haven't be wowed by the past few Chanel collections but this one might be able to turn my recent views on their collections around.
