The All-Things Chanel Makeup, Skincare & Fragrance Thread

For fall there will be 6 new cream blushes with matching Rouge Coco Shines, one of the pairs was used in the show yesterdays. Plus Élixir, a new shade of Le Vernis. Can't wait!

^ Oh no! Do you find its not suitable for everyday?

I got it in Taupe this Saturday and am finding it very easy to wear, if you like a more natural everyday look.

my friend saw it on me after i purchased it and said it had a rabbit eyes feel to it.

not really keen on the new nail color for fall (beautyalchemist.com)

^ Me neither, such a grandma's shade.

They've been releasing too many boring pinks/beiges.

^ Sorry but boring. They look like they are old colours. I want something new and fresh.

Agreed. I would imagine that it would be pretty easy to track down colours that are nearly identical at the pharmacy or any beauty supply store.

Visited the Covent Garden pop up store today, it's the loveliest place.

Seems like a nice collection... I'm the most excited about the blushes and the nail polish.

By the way, this will be Peter Philips' last collection.

A closer look at Taboo from the Revelation collection (temptalia.com

Chanel Taboo Le Vernis ($30.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described as a “violine with red iridescence.” They should call it “Galaxy in a Bottle.” It’s a rich, deepened red-toned purple with iridescent shimmer that reflects red, violet, pink, and coppery-red. Dior Shadow is a warmer (more eggplant-like) purple with coppery-red shimmer. Cult Nails Spontaneous is a lighter, plummy purple with flecks of purple sparkle. Estee lauder Extravagant Night is warmer with much larger sparkle–and it’s a mix of plum and gold. Zoya Valerie is redder, warmer, and has larger shimmer.

Taboo is stunning. It’s a paint-one-nail-and-pause-for-effect–it’s that show-stopping–and it’s not just an effect visible in bright light or if you hold your fingertips close to your eyes, as you can see the shimmer dance and sparkle even at a distance. It’s very nearly opaque in a single coat, but I did apply two coats for full opacity. The consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin, and it flowed beautifully across the nail–no pooling, streaking, or bubbling. It dries down to a naturally shiny finish, but I’d recommend adding a top coat to really make it sing.

Taboo is exactly what high-end, luxury polish should be: interesting, complex, highly-pigmented, flawless application. I normally get a week of wear with Chanel’s formula with no chipping, just minor tip wear.
