CHANEL · Fall/Winter 2023 Équinoxe Collection
The Fall/Winter 2023 Équinoxe Collection is CHANEL’s latest launch and draws inspiration from Coco Chanel’s favourite season, bringing us lush jewel-like tones that merge the line between shadow and light. As much as I hate to see summer go, I have to confess that these are actually the types of shades that truly call to me …
Herbivore · Aquarius Cleanser, Nova Serum, Super Nova Eye Cream & Orchid Facial Oil
I’m relatively new to Herbivore Botanicals (previously reviewed here), but what I have tried to date, has absolutely impressed me. This summer so far we’ve been rocked with high temperatures, intense humidity, and extreme smog due to raging wildfires — all of which tends to play havoc with everything, including our skin. That’s where these products shine, as they help to provide relief from all these external aggressors. Oh, and the packaging? Right in my wheelhouse.
Guerlain · Nude Collection 2023
Drawing inspiration from the effortless spirit that characterizes the Parisian style, Guerlain has launched their first collection for eyes & lips –all based on the ever-popular nude theme. With luxe packaging that just begs to be publicly displayed, there’s certainly nothing boring about these pieces … and that’s just for starters.
OPI · Barbie Collection 2023
True story: when I heard that OPI was launching a Barbie Collection, I squealed. MAJORLY. For me, this theme hits home, because I grew up with Barbie; I still have my first doll given to me when I was 3, and I also have all of my daughter’s Barbie dolls (plus a billion accessories) in storage. Translating this icon’s appeal into nail polish was a match made in heaven, and I can honestly say that the shades truly do Barbie (& Ken) justice.
CHANEL · Les 4 Ombres Byzance
Drawing inspiration from the Byzantine influences behind many of Gabrielle Chanel’s jewelry pieces, CHANEL’s Les 4 Ombres Byzance palettes are makeup works of art. With their jewel-toned colour harmonies and lavish interiors, they are all collector-worthy … and limited edition (tell me you didn’t see that coming).
