Chanel

Chanel Beauty added some new fun colorful items in their Summer 2024 Collection. I checked out everything at my local Chanel Beauty Boutique a couple weeks ago and had fun swatching everything. I picked up a few items and love every single thing.

The overall collection is very different from what we’ve seen lately from Chanel and I love it. They created some really beautiful multi-dimensional colors for the eyes and cheeks. I wish they had launched coordinating new lip colors but it looks like for this launch it’s newness for eyes, cheeks and nails.

Jardin Imaginaire Blush and Highlighter Duos

The stars of this launch are the Blush and Highlighter Duos ($75 each). They’re stunning and are SO much prettier on the skin compared to what you see in the compacts. These are have the same texture as the duo from 2021. There is a soft satiny matte side and a silky highlighter.

Gold and Peach has a soft terracotta peach (which pulls sheer but is buildable) and a pretty pale yellow gold (super smooth in finish). The combination surprised me as I normally do not like yellow gold highlighters but this one is really pretty when layered with the peach. Below wearing Gold and Peach, also wearing Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation in BD41, Natasha Denona Bronze Eyeshadow Palette, Chanel Rouge Coco Baume in Flirty Coral.

Light and Berry was another surprised. At first glance I thought they would 100% be shades I would never wear. The mauve fuschia blush swatches very bright with a dense brush but it’s sheer-medium in pigment and blends out much better on the face. The opal pink highlighter almost flashes lavender and adds the prettiest glow. I love this on the cheeks or the eyes. Below wearing Light and Berry on the cheeks, Stylo Ombre et Contour Celestial Pink, Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner in Black, Baume Essentiel Scintillement on the Lips.

New Baume Essentiel Shades

There are two new Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Sticks ($48) in the Summer 2024 collection and one new one that launched separately. Photos don’t do these justice so if you want to check them out in action I posted a video swatching all three here.

Summer 2024 has Moonlight Kiss which is a soft champagne gold with a bit of peach and Solar Glow a bronzed copper shimmer. These perform true to the Chanel Baume Essentiel standards: glowy, balmy, lovely shine. I really can’t pull these off on the cheeks in Florida heat and humidity but I know lots of you are HUGE fans of the dewy glow. I do really like these in the cooler climates or on the lips.

Chanel added a new shade Scintillement which looks really similar to the Mermaid Glow from Spring 2024. I received tons of feedback from many of you that you heard Scintillement is really just Mermaid Glow renamed and in permanent form. In store the Sas swatched them side by side and I wish I captured a photo because I saw distinct differences in store but it could have been the lighting. I pulled both at home and I really cannot tell the difference when swatched. They have slight differences in the base but the sparkle and effect looks the same.

I think both are stunning. I am amazed that Chanel was able to create something sparkly without any texture or gritty feel. I kinda wish the sparkle was more visible on the skin, but I think it’s beautiful.

Stylo Ombre Et Contour

There are lots of new fun shades of the Stylo Ombre Et Contour ($38). I own quite a few of these and love the darker ones for liner or matte ones for an all over lid shade. I never ended up using many of the lighter colors since they pull on the sheer side. I picked up Celestial Pink which is a glittery pink that flashes violet and pink. On my bare lids it matches my skin tone so closely it doesn’t show up, but when layered with any powder shadow it transforms into a brighter iridescent glow. 100% love. I do wish it was in powder form though as I really love the new Chanel powder shadow singles.

I also loved Attaya and Ecorce in store but decided to think about them for a while.

Summer Le Vernis

There are three new Le Vernis ($32) shades. All three are absolutely stunning. I picked up two in Songe D’Ete (opal pink shimmer) and Faun (pretty cream brown). I passed on the green Reveuse since I’m not really into greens, but the SA swatched it in store and the shimmer is breathtaking. Wearing the shades I hauled, both with 2 coats.

Overall very different from what we usually see from Chanel but I love what they created. The Summer 2024 collection is fresh, unique and fun. I’m 100% happy with all my splurges even though I won’t be using the baumes on the cheeks (they’re lovely on the lips).

This year Chanel has surprised us with a new collection launched called the Les Beiges Winter Glow Collection. As a huge fan of their Les Beiges collections, I was thrilled to see this with a wintery twist. The collection launched in early January online at Chanel.com and after playing with everything for a few weeks I have a review today including:

• Healthy Winter Glow Blush ($72) – 3 shades
• Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette ($72) – new shade Cool
• Rouge Coco Baume ($45) – 3 shades
• Le Vernis ($32) – 2 new shades
• Healthy Winter Glow Primers ($54) – 3 shades

Healthy Winter Glow Blush

There are three shades of the Les Beiges Healthy Winter Glow Blush. These are limited-edition powder blushes in the Les Beiges beige compact with a snowflake embossed on the surface of the powder. They have an almost creamy texture, like a cream to powder, but perform more like a powder. Each shade has impressive buildable pigment that is easy to layer. They have a subtle glow and each shade has some shimmer in them.

Rose Polaire

Rose Polaire is my favorite. It’s a baby rose pink that has a really stunning glow to it. I was worried it would be too pale to show up on my medium Chanel B40 skin tone but it shows up beautifully for a pretty baby pink flush.

Coral Givre

Corail Givre is a stunning coral with gold shimmer. This has a similar look to some of the other Chanel peachy blushes but has a brightness that brings the skin to life. The gold shimmer adds a pretty glow – the shimmer and sparkles are more visible on the skin in this one.

Mauve Glace

Mauve Glace is a beautiful neutral-warm mauve. It looks cool-toned in the pan but on my skin it pulls a bit reddish leaning more towards a warmer mauve. I think this is a really pretty shade that will be great for spring.

Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette – COOL

Chanel launched a new Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette called Cool. As someone who rarely wears purple shadows I have to say this far exceeded my expectations. It has a soft seashell pink satin, a medium warm pink satin, shimmering warm purple burgundy, a darker plum with gold flecks and a sparkling lilac glittery sparkle topper. The sparkle shade almost has a duo chrome quality and flashes blue, violet and pink.

Texture is very soft and powdery so there is fallout when you apply but they do stay put on the eyes without migrating. I think the light sparkle shade makes this palette special. The eye look comes alive with the pop of violet/pink shimmers. Pigment is medium but buildable. I really love this palette! See it in action here.

Rouge Coco Baume

There are three new Rouge Coco Baumes. These are sheer tinted balms in a twist up tube format. If you’re new to these these have a comfortable feel, no scent and sheer-medium color payoff.

Chilling Pink is a very sheer pale milky pink. It’s not visible on the arm or hand swatch but on my lips I see a very pretty sheer milky pink.

Keep Cool has a pretty 90s vibe. On my lips it’s very pale, almost like a taupe shade. I think it’s better when paired with a deeper or warmer liner on my lips. It pulls very cool toned.

Cocoon is a sheer berry color. It has a slight hint of shimmer to it but pulls more like a cream. It’s almost like a reddish bitten stain on my lips. It’s very pretty – on me it pulls warm in undertone.

Le Vernis

The two Le Vernis shades are sheers, but they are very smooth sheers. Glaciale is a sheer milky white and Skieuse is a sheer baby pink. I applied both with 3 coats in the swatches below. I already bought backups of both shades. I think they’re really pretty.

Healthy Winter Glow Primers

Last I have some quick thoughts about the new Healthy Winter Glow Primers (available in 3 shades). These are very sheer glowy primers that almost have a gel-like feel. On my skin when layered over moisturizer they had a sticky feel. The colors are really pretty, but they are very sheer and don’t really give the skin much of a tint or glow. These are scented with fragrance. I didn’t notice much of a difference in my foundation with these. I think the No 1 de Chanel Skin Enhancers are better for my skin type. Swatches below of the Chanel highlighting fluids and La Base Illuminatrice. I didn’t swatch on the arm as they pretty much disappear once blended.

The top 3 standouts from the Les Beiges Winter Glow are: Rose Polaire, Chilling Pink and Cool Eyeshadow Palette. You can see them in action in this Reel.

You can find the collection out now. Available at Chanel.com and Chanel counters. Have you checked out anything from this launch? What did you think?

Rose Polaire, Mauve Glace, Cool, Chilling Pink provided for review. All other items purchased by me.

Today Chanel launches their Black Friday Limited-Edition Set called Light the Way ($111) with full-sizes of the LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette in Warm and LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Lip Balm in Medium. Both are permanent items in their Les Beiges lineup and it’s packaged in their holiday makeup pouch. I’ve included swatches below from my review of the items when they launched in previous years. I think both are classic staples you can wear year round.

Below left to right: Light, Medium, Deep

Their holiday sets usually sell out very quickly. If you had your eye on one I hope you can get your hands on this!
