This Holiday collection from Chanel is the most unique of all the collections that I have seen so far this season. It is based on exotic islands and the creatures that inhabit them. In other words, it is bright and can almost be considered a Summer collection. So I don't know how much wear I would get out of it now but I can save it for warmer weather. Here is the description from Chanel, "Inspired by Mademoiselle Chanel's fascination with the brillant plumage of exotic birds, the Holiday Makeup Collection is a lfight of fantasy for face and fingertips".Here we go...
Les Tissages Lames de Chanel Shimmering Tweed Highlighter - Three delicately 'woven' shades of shimmering colour for cheeks and decollete. Gold, bronze, and copper tones cast a natural luminous glow on skin to highlight and heighten a festive effect.
- Lames de Chanel - gold/bronze/copper
Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow - 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 longwear, particularly in high temperature or humidity.
- Bird of Paradise - tropical-bright quartet of aqua, yellow, green-gold, and copper
La Ligne de Chanel Professional Eyeliner Duo - Mistake-proof eyeliner duo enables every woman to achieve the perfectly lined eye. Stray-proof, powder-based formula easily mimcs both the precision of a liquid eyeliner and the smudged look of a kohl pencil.
- Celadon-Lame - rich green-black
Inimitable Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel - Now, in a single stroke, Chanel sets a new standard in mascara with a formula that does it all. A sophisticated formula and unique brush design combine to lengthen, plump, and curl, delivering lush, long-wearing colour so precisely that each lash, even the finest, is perfectly separated and defined.
- Noir - black
Aqualumiere Sheer Colour Lip Shine SPF 15 - A brillant 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.
- Maldives - warm, ultra-wearable peach
- Galapagos - lustrous coral
- Tasmania - exquisite pink
- Grenada - soft, subdued fuschia
Aqualumiere High Shine Sheer Concentrate - Brush on the exquisite, water-light look of this new ingenious gloss and discover perfect comfort in a sheer wash of colour.
- Colibri - shimmering pearl
- Hirondelle - vibrant pink
- Canari - bright, citrusy coral
Le Vernis Nail Colour - Brillance to your fingertips with must-have colours from the runways of Paris. State-of-the-art formula strengthens and moisturizes nails. Unique patented, non-spill bottle with wiping action for easy application.
- Trapeze - radiant silver-beige
- Mica Rose - tender pink
- Orange Fizz - vivid coral
I think the Bird of Paradise concept is a bit out there for the Holiday season but I do predict that this collection will sell out within days of hitting the counters. The Quadra Eye will sell out first I predict and I will be one of the people lining up to get my hands on it. Along with it, I also want the Mica Rose polish and the Colibri lip color. I give Chanel points for a unique collection and for a collection that I will be wearing long past this winter.
