The Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Collection just dropped at Chanel and I have a look at the makeup items today. There are three makeup items in this launch and they are beautiful.

Les 9 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette in The New Smoky

There is a new eyeshadow palette in neutral cool tones called Les 9 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette in The New Smoky ($132). This has a mix of satin, shimmers and sparkle finishes. If you apply with a loose fluffy brush the color payoff is on the sheer side. But using a more dense brush like the rephr 02 or rephr 28 gives more coverage. With these I have to use a creamy base to help grip the pigments (something like the Rhode Pocket Bronzer on the lids works for me).

Colors look neutral in the palette, on my warmer tan olive skin these pull very cool-toned. For me this is like a modern smokey palette since it’s a little more rosy and taupe.

I personally love the finish and overall look but the colors pull more cool-toned than I am used to wearing.

Rouge Coco Lipstick 165 Crush

There is a new Rouge Coco Lipstick called 165 Crush ($54). This looks substantially cooler-toned than the online photos I’ve seen. On me it’s distinctly a cool mauve with slight grey undertones and I think it’s so interesting how it looks more rosy on those with cool or light-fair skin tones.

The color is beautiful in the tube but since I can’t wear cool tones on the lips this ends up looking very grey on me. A lot of you asked for comparisons of the new Rouge Coco Crush to Flying Cloud and Mademoiselle. In a swatch Flying Cloud looks like it has a little more pink and Mademoiselle is warmer. On my darker pigmented lips these pretty much all look the same.

Wearing:

• Foundation – Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation BD41
• Concealer – Les Beiges Serum Concealer B30
• Powder – Poudre Universelle Libre in 20
• Blush – Joues Contraste Intense in Rose Ardent
• Eyeshadow – Les 9 Ombres The New Smoky
• Mascara – Les Beiges Mascara in Black
• Nails – Le Vernis in Coco
• Lips – Rouge Coco in Crush

Le Vernis 469 Coco

I think the stand out in this launch for me is the Le Vernis 469 Coco ($34). I love a pale milky pink and this one is more of a medium-light milky pink. I would call this a neutral undertone and it’s full coverage. I still had to apply 2 coats to even it out but I love the color.

That wraps up a first look at the Chanel Coco Makeup Collection. Everything is available now at Chanel.

I can’t wait to smell the new Coco Mademoiselle Crush Eau de Parfum. I wanted to smell it first before buying blind. If you’ve tried it, let me know your thoughts!

Coco Makeup gifted by Chanel.

Chanel revamped their iconic gloss into a new formula called the Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss ($45 each). As a long time Chanel fan I was thrilled to be invited to preview these at the Chanel Beauty Boutique in Brickell Miami.

OG beautylookbook readers might remember that Chanel sparked my very first blog post back in 2009 with the Celestial Lights Glossimers (RIP). Chanel Beauty will forever hold a special place in my heart. For those who have stuck around thank you so very much! My 20-something self would have never dreamed that this would turn into my career.

I shared some more from the event here. If you’re in Miami this summer I think it’s a super cute pop up to visit!

The new Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss is better than I could have imagined! I didn’t think they could top the last formula but somehow they have. It’s bittersweet to have so many beautiful shades discontinued and I still keep hoping they bring back some of the original shades from many years ago (ie Seashell, Unity, Blizzard, etc.) The new formula is close to the last one but definitely upgraded. It’s somehow smoother with a slightly thinner texture. Very hydrating but doesn’t slide off the lips. Glossy with a high shine. I personally find the pigment to be slightly more opaque with most of the shades I tried.

The Chanel team gifted us three shades in a pouch at the event, but because I have no self control I ended up buying quite a few to bring home with me. I think every single color is wearable. I still have a few more on my wish list, but for now here is a look at what I bought.

Lip swatches below, also wearing:

• Foundation – Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation BD41
• Concealer – Chanel Les Beiges Serum Concealer in B30
• Bronzer – Chanel Health Glow Bronzing Cream 392

• Eyeshadow – Les Beiges Eyeshadow Palette in Soft
• Mascara – Chanel Les Beiges Mascara in 30 Black
• Nail Polish – Chanel Le Vernis in 415 Solstice (3 coats)
• Dress – Reformation Demi Linen Dress

Cristal is a sparkly semi sheer iridescent pink, no texture of gritty feel with the sparkle

____

Charms is the perfect baby pink, it’s medium-sheer but shows up well

____

Impertinente is a caramel shade (Accessoire is close but more nude)

____

Bijou is the shade the ROUGE COCO HYDRA GLOSS Voice Analyzer said was my match based on my voice, I really love this one!

____

Reflet is a pale sheer lavender pink

____

Superposition is the prettiest peach with some gold shimmer

____

Solaire is a reddish coral

____

Fabuleuse is the sheerest one, it’s a pale yellow, but looks like clear gloss

____

I didn’t have time to lip swatch them all but I hope this gives you a good sense of what the colors look like!

I am 100% obsessed. I already can’t wait for more colors to be released for future collections. They also have new Le Vernis nail colors and the Summer Nights Collection out. I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to swatch or review but I think the nail colors are really beautiful.

You can also see the new Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss in action on the lips here.

If you have an SA you can purchase from or a Chanel Beauty Boutique near you they are selling a gloss case separately that fits 2 lip glosses inside.

Available now at Chanel.com, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Ulta Beauty and all Chanel retailers.

Chanel Beauty summer has arrived with their Les Beiges Coastal Summer Collection. I picked up a little bit of everything however I wasn’t able to find the Les Beiges Summer Essentials basket set before it sold out.

Les Beiges Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette

I think my favorite piece in this collection is the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette in Soft ($77). It has the prettiest neutrals for just a hint of color, definition and glow. Pigment is on the softer side but I love the soft look! The texture is super soft.

Rouge Coco Flash

The Rouge Coco Flash is my favorite lip formula from Chanel right now and the three new summer shades have exceptionally good pigment! The new shades include Sweet (a neutral, my favorite), Zesty (tomato red) and Fruity (plum). Based on your feedback on this preview post, most of you seem to love the purple shade!

Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush + Highlighter

I love trying new complexion glow products, especially things from the Les Beiges line for that no-makeup-makeup kind of effortless glow. However I am undecided about the new Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush in Sorbet and the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Highlighter in Summer Gleam ($56 each). I absolutely LOVE the concept and colors but I found these a little difficult to apply and blend without wiping off my foundation.

There are 3 Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush shades (one exclusive to that sold out set) and 2 individual options. I opted for Sorbet the pink which is the most beautiful shimmery pink.

There is one Les Beiges Healthy Glow Highlighter in Summer Gleam which is a pearlescent pale frosty pink shimmer. On me the color is pale so it looks almost white but in person you can see a subtle pink shift when the light hits.

I do like them if I apply just the blush, or if I mix the blush + highlighter on the back of my hand and then apply to the face. The blending effort is a little too much for me, but I think the colors are stunning.

New Le Vernis

There are two Le Vernis shades and your feedback surprised me! So many of you are in love with Garconne which matches my skin so close it gives mannequin hands. I’m personally not a fan but you girls love it! I think Baigneuse is such a fun blue! I will try it on the toes for my next pedicure.

Les Beiges Serum Concealer

Another new launch is the Les Beiges Serum Concealer ($53 each). This isn’t technically part of the Les Beiges color collection, but it is new for summer. I think this is one of the most beautiful glowy concealers I’ve ever tried. I tried both B30 and B40 in action here, I prefer B30 for my BD41 Chanel skintone. Quick swatches next to the Chanel Ultra Le Teint Concealer too, Ultra Le Teint shades in action here. I’m still working on my concealer roundup!

If you had your eye on anything everything I reviewed is out now at Chanel and all Chanel retailers like Nordstrom, Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s. The basket set appears to be sold out everywhere so if you were able to find it you are very lucky!

Did you pick up anything from this collection? What did you think? Do I need to try the Les Beiges mascara?
