Chanel Holiday 2010 Collection - Les Tentations de Chanel

Earlier we looked at the Clinique Strawberry Fudge collection, a subtle collection comprised on pink and browns that would create a naturally beautiful makeup look. This season, Chanel has also used browns and pinks in the inspiration for their holiday collection though the end results are very different. Clinique dressed them down, Chanel dresses them up and makes them ready for all the parties that take place this time of the year. "A sumptuous color collection of tempting chocolates and rich fuchsias, perfect for the holiday season".

Here is the collection...

Les 4 Ombres - Shade combinations ranging from matte to frost to satin for multiple looks, contrasting or complementary. Apply dry for subtle shadowing. Slightly moistened applicator gives a more intense shade. Organic polymer derivatives ensure smudge-proof long wear, particularly in high temperatures or humidity. Dermatologist tested.
- Tentation Cuivee - pale beige/pale pink/deep bronze/deep brown

Le Vernis - Classic and trend-defining shades from the runways of Paris. State-of-the-art formula strengthens and moisturizes nails as it delivers long-wearing, high-shine, chip-resistant colour. Applies evenly without streaking.
- Pulsion - bright fuchsia
- Mica Rose - pale cool-toned pink

Levres Scintillantes - Gorgeous shimmer and a high-shine glow is delivered effortlessly to lips with just one stroke of this best-selling lip gloss. A wide range of shades, from sheer and natural to sparkling and rich, look beautiful on their own, or over your favorite Chanel lipstick. Equally beautiful: the conditioning formula's comfort and long wear.
- Pink Pulsion - bright fuchsia
- Charming - pale cool-toned pink
- Futile - medium-toned nude pink
- Pleasing - medum-toned warm copper

Ombres Contraste Duo - This foolproof pairing of complementary shades - in two unique textures - is housed in one convenient compact. The softly shimmering light shade is a creamy powder, which can be worn alone for a luminous effect, or as a base to extend the wear of the accompanying deep-toned shadow. The dark shade has intense micronized pigments for true-colour application, and a matte finish to create depth and contour. Two applicators are included: a foam-tip to apply the shadows and a brush to blend. Available in six essential shade harmonies designed to take the guesswork out of harmonizing and applying eye shadow.
- Misty-Soft - deep charcoal and pale silver

Stylo Yeux Waterproof - Waterproof, smudge-proof eye liner delivers long-lasting definition with the twist of the wrist: Colour winds up when you need it, winds down when you don't. Gentle, soft, silicone-enriched formula delivers smooth, even lining. A built-in sharpener at the opposite end detaches for quick refreshes.
- Cassis - deep plum
- Espresso - deep brown

Eclat Lumiere - In a single stroke, add new radiance to your skin. Light-coverage concealer, highlight, and complexion-brightener all in one, this multi-tasking essential brings instant luminosity to those areas of the face you want to play up. Light-reflecting pigments reduce the appearance of fine lines and de-emphasize dark circles. Convenient brush-on formula si ideal for daily touch-ups.
- Beige Rose - pink toned beige

Inimitable Intense - This technologically advanced formula builds on the success of the original mascara, delivering dramatic effects with a unique brush. The result is a more intense lash look, with the same easy application. Lashes appear longer, thicker, and more curled, yet each lash, even the finest is still precisely separated - without clumping, spiking, or flaking.
- Noir - rich black

Chanel continues to deliver top quality eye shadow shades, I want both the quad and the duo this time around. I like the lighter pink shades in both the lip gloss and the nail polish but I have to see how unique they are before I buy them, I already own quite a stash of pale pink glosses and polishes and I really don't need to add yet another one of the same shade to my collection. Otherwise, I like all the shades but I'm not wowed by anything...
