The first summer collection that I have seen released is also one of the ones that I am the most excited about, Chanel always releases their seasonal collections on the early side of the season and often their collection will set the tone for the rest of the season. The new collection is named L'Ete Papillon de Chanel, which translate out to the Butterfly Summer of Chanel. I am envisioning a very colorful collection that contains great shades for every single facial feature. I have been seeing hints of bright shades being very popular for summer and all kinds of bright blue eye makeup. Bright blue eye makeup is not my cup of tea so this might be more of a season of me going for neutral eyes and bright lips and nails but we will see what all comes out in the next few months...
"The dazzling colours of butterflies inspire a joyful look for face and fingertips with the enchanting Summer collection. Lashes flutter in electric shades of mascara and eyelids are adorned with gleaming colours. Nails and lips complete the effect with shades of sunlit brilliance.", states the Chanel website when describing the overall collection. I am so excited to see what colors are int he collection and what items I will be coveting for the next few weeks!
Here is the newest collection from Chanel!

I love this collection and this one starts off my summer beauty product shopping on the right foot! I still have some spring shopping yet to do but this collection motivates me to get the spring shopping finished within the next two weeks and then to begin summer makeup shopping. I am now beginning to think about my summer look...bronze skin with bright lips and nails and then perhaps mixing in a bright eye makeup look or two. I think that this summer will be very much about lips and nails for me and that my lip gloss and lipstick collection will really be growing over the next few months...
My favorite pieces of this collection are from the lip and nail products. My favorite piece of this collection is the Le Vernis in Azure, I love this shimmering aqua nail polish and I will be wearing this shade all summer long. I have a feeling that this one will be selling out very quickly and I will need to visit the counter soon and if it is available yet. I wouldn't mind purchasing the Bel-Argus shade too but I don't need it the way that I need Azure. The next pieces on my shopping list come from the new lip shades, I want items from both of the formulas that are in this collection. From Le Rouge Coco, I love the deep magenta pink shade (Pygmalion) and the similar shade in the lip gloss (Eden), these will work well for me throughout the year and I could start wearing them as soon as I buy them!
The eye makeup isn't as good for me as the rest of the season...Le 4 Ombres does not appeal to me at all, I don't really wear navy shades and therefore will not be purchasing this palette. The single eye shadows have a bit more appeal to me, I want the gold and taupe shades and will wear them with the bright lip shades that I want from this collection. I am very on the fence about the colored mascaras in this collection, I am very interested in the gold mascara but really do wonder how it will look on the lashes and if I could pull it off. This is one that I will need to see pictures of people wearing it and then make a further decision, perhaps I will be wrong but I am not seeing this work for me at all.
Summer collections are beginning and Chanel is leading the pack! I am very excited to see what else is coming out in the next few weeks!
