This weekend, the new CHANEL ROUGE COCO LIP BLUSH collection lands. It’s a line of makeup colour that encourages spontaneity and writes its own rules. A beauty game that has only one rule – to be daring!

As with the launch of the new Coco Mademoiselle Intense Parfum (which hit the market earlier this month), the CHANEL ROUGE COCO LIP BLUSH makeup collection speaks to the fun loving and playful Chanel girl. Think dreamy lip, cheek and nail polish shades, where you get to play with colour in a fun way! There’s also the introduction of an  innovative new COCO LIP BLUSH – a product you’ll want to get your hands on! Trust me!

As we step into winter, I can’t help but feel a pang of jelousy of all the summer holiday pics doing the rounds on Instagram. I do love winter; mainly because of the clothes, but with regard to makeup, summer is always a fave! Thankfully, even though we’re a season behind the rest of the world, we still get the latest makeup and beauty trends as they launch internationally, and today I want to show you some of the goodies I’ve been playing with from two beautiful new CHANEL collections… First up, the CHANEL 2017 CRUISE COLLECTION – LES INDISPENSABLES DE L’ÉTÉ, which launched a few weeks ago. This range of effortless summer makeup pays homage to the way in which Gabrielle Chanel embraced the Summer season; with a radiant touch of sun on the skin. Its a wonderfully curated collection of all the makeup you need to embrace the free and solar personality of the Mademoiselle, and quite honestly, a very wearable collection no matter the season! Included in the CHANEL CRUISE 2017 makeup collection is a luminous glow bronzer (in 5 various shade options), x2 Rouge Coco Shine Lippies, x3 Rouge Coco Stylo Lipsticks, x2 Inimitable Waterproof Mascara’s…

While we look forward to welcoming summer, the rest of the world is getting ready for winter – and with that a brand new, beautiful Makeup Collection for Autumn 2015 from Chanel. Chanel Collection Automnales launches in South Africa this week (available from the 21st August 2015), and I’ve got a little sneak peek to get you as excited as I am! I don’t know about you, but late in the summer, I always romanticise about autumn and winter. I don’t know if its the thought of cocooning in cozy textures, or spending hours in front of a sizzling fireplace, the colder months definitely seem more indulgent, richer and more enchanted. And that’s what the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio has done with their new makeup collection for winter 2015/2016. Inspired by the magical season of autumn, they’ve developed a collection of essentials caught between shadow and light, combining muted undertones and radiance. As the leaves change colour, warm and subtle harmonies compose a collection of timeless elegance focused on shades of khaki, brown, fawn and ochre notes, lush greens and flamboyant reds. Eyes If autumn were a tapestry, it would be woven of brown, fawn and khaki squares sewn together with gold, bronze and copper threads, accented by a few colourful touches of rust orange.  The Limited Edition Eyeshadow…

Tomorrow sees the launch of Chanel’s 2015 Les Beiges collection – a beautiful range of subtle, sun kissed makeup, perfect for a summer holiday. If you you’re after that natural, yet enhanced makeup look, you will love CHANEL Les Beiges, formulated for an error-free application. A collection composed of easy to use formulas that give skin a gorgeous natural glow. Cheekbones have a barely there flush,  lips are pampered and nails are elegant and minimal. Les Beiges has one single mission: to reveal the natural radiance of a healthy outdoor glow, because natural is a STYLE! I’m most excited about the new Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Sticks. Sticks of soft, gorgeous cheek colour that are velvety smooth and just amazing! I’m a huge fan of cream blushers, and these are so far, my fave! The formula is lightweight, buildable and sets to a bit of a powdery finish afterwards, making it ideal for me. The fact that it comes in a stick applicator makes it perfect to carry in your handbag for on the go touchups. I sampled the colour BLUSH N°21 a lovely pale pink that I can’t wait to wear in summer! The other two shades are BLUSH N°20 (beigey pink)  and BLUSH N°22 (more coral pink) and they will retail at R605.00 each.…

For Summer 2015, The CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio extends the memories of the season with a vibrant collection immersed in azure blue and infused with light. Inspired by the Riviera of the Roaring Twenties, favourite destination of Gabrielle Chanel. This new collection launches in May 2015, but I couldn’t help but share some of the gorgeous products I got to play with… Let’s start with my favourite, favourite: EXCLUSIVE CREATION LUMIÈRE D’ÉTÉ Chanel compacts are always so breathtakingly beautiful! So much so that you almost don’t want to mess them up, but when you use them you love the effect so much. This is true with the bronzing complexion powder. In true Chanel style, it’s embossed with the camellia flower and is how one might picture elegant women discovering the Riviera of the Roaring Twenties. It’s a soft bronzer that illuminates the skin to enhance your natural complexion, glimmering with subtle golden shimmers and an amazing satiny finish. Absolutely swoon-worthy! For the nails, my favourite colour from this collection is MÉDITERRANÉE. I love blue tips and toes and this one is a pure, deep ocean blue that makes you want to plunge into turquoise waters. The colour payoff is amazing…
