Chanel has released their spring collection the earliest of out any company that I have looked at so far. In fact, it was on the website before Christmas and helped me to forget about the holidays. Chanel is always a favorite brand of mine and I have found that their spring and fall collections never disappoint me and are the strongest releases of the whole year for them. This year the collection is named Collection Les Perles de Chanel and the promotional picture makes the collection look as it is focused around a strong eye and natural lip. Chanel states, "Inspired by the lustrous, natural beauty of pearls, these delicate, luminous shades beautifully flatter face and fingertips".Let the spring collections begin...
Ombres Perles de Chanel - This palette of five luminous and intense shades flatters eyes in every single light with the luster of the finest pearls. The ultra-refined powder formula resists creasing, and unique custom applicators provide precise coverage and seamless blending.
- shimmering champagne/rose/plum/charcoal/black
Les 4 Ombres - One essential compact offers unlimited eye looks, with shade combinations that range from matte to satin to shimmer. Versatile smudge-proof formula can be applied dry for subtle shading, or dampened for more intense colour, all with long-wearing results - in even extreme climates. Dermatologist tested.
- Regard Perle - taupe/medium beige/rose pink/deep brown
Le Crayon Yeux - Line eyes quickly and easily with an eye crayon that achieves a variety of effects, from a subtle yet precise look, to a more dramatic definition. The built-in smudge applicator perfects a smoky eye, while a companion sharpener ensures the pencil is always ready for lining.
- Gris Scintillant - medium gray
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.
- Black Pearl - iridescent pearly black
- Pearl Drop - iridescent pearly white
- Peche Nacree - pale peach pink
Rouge Coco - Chanel introduces a modern interpretation of classic creme lip colour as a homage to the rich life and legacy of 'Coco' Chanel. New lightweight lip colour glides on for easy application and features a Hydratendre complex to help soften, soothe, and condition lips - even boosting their ability to hold in moisture - for a plumper, smoother, and healthier-looking appearance. A range of wearable shades with full-coverage finishes, from matte to pearl to soft shimmer.
- Peregrina - warm coral pink
- Jersey Rose - medium cool pink
Joues Contraste - Unique powder blusher offers buildable coverage, from natural to dramatic, and imparts a flattering radiance to cheeks. Remarkably silky texture ensures easy application of seamless colour. Applied high on the cheekbone, or near the eyes, it instantly 'lifts' and softens the face for a more youthful look.
- Espiegle - light cool 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.
- Nakkar - warm coral red
- Aragonite - pale pink beige
Rouge Allure - An instant icon, this luxurious lipstick formula combines lustrous colour, sensational comfort and fabulous wear. Purely Chanel: the subtly etched, world-renowned logo, and an elegant click-open case that provides a most glamorous effect when applying colour.
- Flamboyante - medium true red
- Coquette - medium blue pink
Rouge Double Intensite - Glorious long-lasting colour paired with high-shine gloss delivers full-coverage colour that lasts all day. Glossy top coat imparts brillant shine and superb hydration, while the innovative fluid texture of the base colour coat applies smoothly, comfortably, with perfect adherence to lips - and no transferring or feathering.
- Cristal Rose - medium creamy pink
Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss - Chanel reveals the next generation of lip gloss - with colour so rich and shine so intense, it could only be inspired by the iconic lipstick, Rouge Allure. Bold colour combines with the smoothest, silkiest gel texture for luxurious wear and deeply dramatic effect. Lips feel comfortable - never sticky or tacky - and look luminous, full, and sensuous for hours. The double-sided, flocked applicator is beveled to deliver ultra-precise definition.
- Insouciance - cool mauve
- Genie - warm coral
Le Crayon Levres - Enhance the shape of your lips and give them perfect definition with this creamy-textured pencil. Long-lasting, full-coverage colour with a semi-matte finish glides on to soften and soothe lips, and ensures lipstick stays in place while extending its wear. Makeup-artistry touches for the most professional-looking result: a built-in brush for blending, and a lip pencil sharpener for precise application.
- Framboise - cool brick red
- Peche - warm peach pink
Poudre Universelle Compact - Imparts a translucent, natural matte finish when applied over makeup in the morning or as an anytime touch-up. Ultra-fine lightweight formula with light-reflecting pigments and luxuriously soft feel creates a flattering, halo-like look.
- Rose Merveille - soft rose pink
Vitalumiere - The ultimate solution to tired skin, this best-selling Chanel foundation now instantly revitalizes the complexion upon application - and throughout the day. The formula has been updated with new ingredients to specifically target dry, dull, and uneven skin, and moisturizing agents to provide hydration and comfort. A marine extract boosts cell energy to enhance radiance, and light-reflecting pigments smooth away imperfections, creating a soft-focus effect. Creamy and luxuriously lightweight, this essential daily foundation blends effortlessly for perfectly smooth, even-toned, radiant skin. Available in a range of shades for all skintones.
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 - black
I am so excited to start this spring off! My favorite product of the collection is Les Ombres Perles de Chanel, I am already envisioning all the beautiful eye looks that I will get from this product. Along with that product, I also want to get the new shade of Les 4 Ombres. Les 4 Ombres will be more appropriate for a professional look while Les Perles will be lovely at night. I am confident that all of the shades in these two palettes I could use right now in the winter and go right through to spring. I love the black shade in the nail polishes, I already own one just like the white and I am afraid that the peach will to be too warm to be flattering.
The lip products for this collection are endless and allow everyone to find at least one or flattering products. For myself, I am liking many of the pink and red shades introduced in this collection. My little shopping list: Levres Scintillates in Aragonite, Rouge Allure in Flamboyante, and Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Insouciance. I can work these shades into any look of mine and these are some of the best shades for me that I have seen from Chanel in the past few seasons. The last item that I want to buy is the Poudre Universelle Compact, I love the rose shade of it and I hope that it will work very well with my skintone.
Well, we have gotten this spring season off to a great start and I am hoping that the rest of collections continue like this. Though I am doubting that many others will top this one...
