they are all so beautiful together! this is the kinds of colour I like for summer as well. lovely.
Thats a beautiful collection and why I'm so excited for the Mac Champale collection!
These colours are so beautiful. The Armani powder looks absolutely stunning.
Thank you for the great swatches. My bank balance is certainly going to take a bit of a bashing…!

very pretty colors!! i guess i just fell in love too.
I love those colors! I'm curious about Le MdB Whisper. Can it be used as a blush or is it more of a sheer highlighter?
Such an absolutely gorgeous, stunning, elegant collection of shades and potential looks.
I wish that I could wear them; I'm NW20-25 and these colors disappear on my skin. But for those gals who are lighter and darker, the look is pure luxe but simple too.
These all look so pretty!
A lovely little colletion xxx
i love these colours, so pretty!
I loved this post! How do you wear Gel? I've had it for such a long time but still can't seem to figure out how to make it work on me.
love all the choices up there 🙂 they look so festive!
Luminous pearl pinks, irridescent blush pinks, glowing champagne pinks–they're all so pretty. A lovely post, Sabrina.
I love this post, as everyone else does, and I also want to say that I love Eileen's choice of words to describe the colors 🙂 So eloquent, and such a good match for your images, Sabrina 🙂
This is why neutrals can never be boring and you make me need more of these gorgeous shades in my collection. I like how these products can be used all year round. x
I'm with you on the light shimmer shades!! They're lovely
Gorgeous!!! I wish I could find a dupe for MAC's Naked pigment. I think it's the most gorgeous color on earth for highlighting, but the SPARKLES! Ugh.
I also have the same question as Tabi about LMdB Whisper – blush or highlight?
The Le Metier de Beaute Whisper looks absolutely stunning! Must give that one a try!
Everything looks so beautiful!! 🙂 I find the MAC shades like Gel do wonders to liven up and make some of my darker lipsticks more wearable.
lovely!! thanks for posting – have been needing to mix up my matte look! xo
I tried on the Whisper highlighter yesterday after seeing your swatch, and I love it! Thank you so much for the inspiring photos. Also, I've been using Chanel TI liquid after reading about here, and I also love it, but yesterday an SA told me that it is being discontinued. What do you recommend as a substitute?
Hi Sabrina,
Do happen to know anything about this new nail polish by Chanel which apparently will be called Riva?
Cheers,
Carla
Lovely Cham-pale-y post!! These colors look so flattering on your skin tone. The only shade in this family that I wear often and find flattering on my skintone is the Edward Bess Sunlight highlighter. I think I actually like it better than the Afterglow shade..
I've been a bad blogger neglecting all my reader comments. I apologize. Thank you everyone for stopping by – those who asked questions, here are the answers:
Tabi/Estelle – I believe Whisper is more of a highlighter, but now it's currently listed under the Blush Section on Neimans.com.
WillWorkForMakeup – I always use Gel with MAC HoneyB. Lipliner and top it with clear lipglass. By iteself, it's way too pale. HTH some!
Tabi – I heard the same rumor but haven't confirmed. I'm really sad if the Chanel TI is going to be discontinued. I have no substitute. Right now I'm just trying to stock up on a few I hope will last me at least a year.
Carla L – I don't know much about Chanel Riva except check Lacquerized's Blog for swatches and info and also Cafe Makeup for the preview.
I'm a big fan of shimmer nudes/pales as well and all the items looks so gorgeous. They remind me of a photo shoot in a glossy mag haha.
Great job with the post Sabrina.
gorgeous colors!!!
agreed! these are fabulous for a monotone canvas. i have a question – where do you buy your NARS refills? and how much less are they than the regular shadows? thank you!
There is a beautiful Gold/nude that I use for every day use. I always get so many compliments on it. Its from Lancome the color is called Amande Sucree and it comes in a gloss and lipstick. I normally would just use the gloss but every now and then if I really want to draw attention to my lips I'll use both.
