The All-Things Chanel Makeup, Skincare & Fragrance Thread

[Melisande]

I haven't used a Chanel nail polish in a while, but many years ago I remember having a bottle last for about five *years* without drying up...and some friends had the same experience. Is it still like that???

 

[Miwi]

I own few Chanel nail polishes I bought yeaaarrrss ago and recently I added a drop or two of nail polish thinner to Blue Satin and Vendetta. Blue Satin is such a classy and eternal colour, I still love it!

^ So jealous of you. I keep on annoying my Chanel lady about it.

 

[Gábor]

^Tried it today and it's lovely, maybe a bit too shimmery for me.

New photos of Alchemie and Myterious. Alchemie looks a lot darker here.. Not sure if I like it..

I've been using the Stylo Eyeshadow in Moon River from the summer collection, and on my pale skin, it provides very subtle shading, yet also has a refined sparkle that looks beautiful in sunlight.

A look at some of the eye products in the autumn range (all review quotes and images from thebeautylookbook.com

The Chanel fall collection for eyes this year consists of some beautiful neutrals in the khaki family. I immediately picked up Gri-Gri Ombre Essentielle, a beautiful sparkling taupe. I resisted the Chanel Mystère Les 4 Ombres and the Khaki Précieux Stylo Yeux Waterproof for a week before caving.
. . .
Some close ups of each item. First up, Mystère Quadra Eyeshadow ($59 for 6.8g) is a stunning mix of pale sparkly champagne with gold flecks, soft neutral mauve-taupe, dark blackened-khaki with gold shimmer and a neutral brown satin with green tones.
. . .
Gri-Gri Soft Touch Eyeshadow ($28.50 for 1.6g) is a must-have for any taupe lover. On me it pulls more on the mauve side versus a straight taupe. It's very sparkly.
. . .
Khaki Précieux ($30) is a lovely metallic khaki green. I find it to be both a good liner and a smudgey base for a smokey eye. It's dark enough to define the eyes but the shimmery quality makes it soft. The texture is soft and easy to apply on the eyes, but firm enough so it doesn't smudge.

A look at a highlighter (all text and images, temptalia.com

Chanel Delice (78) Joues Contraste Powder Blush ($43.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a pale, aqua-shimmered white highlighter. In the promo photos, it looked more minty green, and in real life, it looked nearly white except for a very faint hint of green–but at a glance, it looked mostly white. Giorgio Armani Moonlight White #1 is similar. Chanel Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel is less shimmery.

I worried that such a pale color would turn chalky or ashy against my medium skin tone, but it actually worked quite well as a highly reflective, shimmered highlighter, so I was happy to see it will be something that not just very fair complexions can use. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and easy to blend on the skin. In the photo below, I wore it on top of my cheek bones and lightly on my nose and brow bone. It is somewhat buildable, so you can go from a very translucent, almost finishing-like effect to a more obvious shimmer-sheen finish (like I wore on cheeks). A heavier application did emphasize pores slightly that was visible at a close distance but not from afar, while a lighter application gave a soft all-over glow without emphasizing any imperfections.

It lasted well for seven hours, and after eight hours, it looked slightly patchy.

Some nice shots of the autumn collection... the khaki mascara might look uninspiring, but I remember once using a Diorshow mascara in a similar shade and it was great (beautezine.com

I like the look of Rose Moiré! Every Chanel polish I own is dark I think it's time to change it up, it's a nice subtle color.

^ That blue is fab but I have too many blue Chanel polishes. It's getting a bit ridiculous.

Cosmic looks like the limited US version of Black Satin.
