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).
CHANEL · Codes Couleur
CHANEL recently launched the Codes Couleur Collection, a fun group of products that happen to be both useful AND great additions to one’s makeup bag. Created to match 9 of the new & revamped Le Vernis shades (reviewed here), this is a perfect example of how form & function come beautifully together. Plus, everything is just so darn cute!
CHANEL Cruise 2023/24 Backstage Beauty
The theme for this year’s CHANEL Cruise 2023/24 runway presentation was all things Hollywood, touching on the importance of this iconic Parisian brand in America. Appropriately, it was held at Paramount Studios where the celebrities came out in droves to witness what CHANEL does best: put on one helluva show.
CHANEL · New Le Vernis 2023
In the latest edition of CHANEL’s 24-hue Le Vernis range, the brand has tweaked both the formula and the brush, along with launching 17 new shades. As a long-time collector (over 30 years now!), I’ve seen many iterations come and go, and what impresses me the most is that CHANEL is always looking to improve & innovate. Oh, and the colours are absolutely FAB.
CHANEL · Rouge Allure Velvet (2023)
Originally launched in 2011 as a bridge between a matte & luminous finish, Rouge Allure Velvet has been reinvented in 2023 with twenty shades encompassing the red spectrum. In fact, the colour red has great significance for the House, as this was the shade Gabrielle Chanel believed expressed the true power of a woman. Personally, nothing says “I’m owning it” quite as effectively as a red lipstick, wouldn’t you agree?
