Chanel Fall 2009 Collection - Collection Venise de Chanel

The past few collections from the House of Chanel has been full of Bohemians and their take on carefree elegance. This collection almost feels like a 180 from what we have been seeing since the beginning of spring from them. However, I personally feel that this is a good thing. Their whole summer collection was a complete strike-out for me so maybe this fall I can get back into the brand. This collection is called Collection Venise de Chanel and all of the colors are based on Coco's fascination with the "romance and drama of Venice". I have been to Venice and it is a beautiful city and I would love to go back again. This collection has already caught my eye.

Here it is...

I really love the Eye Cream quad, all four shades look like they would work well on their own or together and I don't have a black red shade in my collection yet. I haven't gotten to they this mascara out yet, though it has been on my list of mascaras to purchase since last fall. Maybe the Smoky Noir shade is the shade that I will get when I finally do try it out. I prefer the Lipsticks to the Glossimers this time around, usually the opposite is true. I want to get Instinctive and Clandestine. I hope that Instinctive will replace MAC's Way To Love as my my-lip-but-better lipstick to wear with dramatic eyes. Clandestine is a deeper red so I want to add that shade to my growing red lipstick collection. I also really like both of nail polish shades and I want to get these before they sell out from all the Chanel counters.
