Chanel Soho Story Collection

In order to celebrate the newest Chanel store opening in the Soho area of New York City, Chanel has released a small, special edition collection to celebrate the neighborhood. Since this is the neighberhood that I want to live in the most when I get to move up there, I am very interested in the Chanel store in this location and the overall atmosphere.

Chanel gives the following as the overall description of this new collection, "Soho - one of Manhatten's trendiest neighborhoods - inspires a decidedly modern palette of nudes and pinks, as well as cult-worthy steel-grays". I can't wait to look at the new products in this collection!

Here is the new collection...

Soho de Chanel Highlighting Powders and Blush - This blush-and-powder palette, comprised of light plum, pink-ivory, and soft pink shades for face and decollete, puts the name of the Chanel boutique - in hip, downtown Soho New York City - front and center.

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.

- Strong - deep purple shimmer

- Steel - steel gray shimmer

Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow - Shade combinations ranging from matte to frost to satin for multiple looks, contrasting 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 temperature or humidity. Dermatologist tested.

- Stupendous - deep brown/champagne/pale pink/pale silver

Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour - Chanel introduces a modern interpretation of classic creme lip colour as an 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.

- Stunning - deep plum

Rouge Allure Laque Luminous Satin Lip Lacquer - Liquid lacquer with intensely rich colour and shine that lasts. Temptingly creamy texture and full coverage in eight stunning shades.

- Stunt - deep plummy brown

Levres Scintillantes Glossimer - Intense frost and shine for lips. Cool array of hottest colours in a convenient, easy-to-use case. Gel texture imparts a shimmery, ultra-glossy look. New shades add extra sparkle and shine.

- Star - pale pink shimmer

I am really liking this little collection and am excited to visit Soho and see the new Chanel store. I think that my favorite product is the new Star shade of Glossimer, this could be a new favorite lip gloss of mine. I also love the new highlighter but I am afraid that it is too pretty is use it. The two new nail polish shades will be perfect to go into fall and so will the new eye shadow compact. I can't think of a better way to celebrate a new store opening than beautiful limited edition makeup.
