On the 6th of June CHANEL launched their limited
edition DANS LA LUMIÈRE DE L’ÉTÉ collection; meaning ‘In the Summer Light’.
This collection is all about bright, bronzed and glowey skin, sultry eyes enhanced with an ombre effect of ochres and browns, sun kissed lips of
corals and pinks and statement nails in smouldering, spicy shades. Could this
collection speak more to my heart?!?
I reviewed three of the items: Healthy Glow Multi-Colour Les
Beiges in No 2, the EMPREINTE DU DÉSERT
eyeshadow quad and the LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES lipgloss in shade Tanami.
HEALTHY GLOW MULTI-COLOUR, LES BEIGES - R990
This has quickly become one of my absolute favourite
products. I often find products like this can end up looking muddy on my skin,
but this is just the perfect non-orange shade on my skin and goes on
beautifully – never causing a muddy, uneven effect. I have been using it to
warm up my skintone as I obviously am rather pale at the moment and the shade
has been great. The powder is super finely milled and only the best of the best.
I guess that’s what I would only expect, as the price tag is high but you
certainly get what you are paying for!
This product comes in two shades (no.1 and no. 2) - see below.

EMPREINTE DU DÉSERT Eyeshadow quad - R955
This, ladies, is outstanding. This is the first time I have
tried Chanel eye shadows and can now fully understand the hype. The colour pay
off, the buttery texture and the longevity of each and every shade in this quad
is perfection. I know a few of you have already got your hands on it (after
Snapchat reviews and convo's), so I am sure it will fly off the counters. Do yourself a favour
and go and try these shades out in store.
I was unsure at first of how much I would use the Khaki
Green colour, but this, combined with the other shades, adds the most amazing dimension
to a neutral smokey eye. I have brown eyes, so every shade in this palette
works wonders for accentuating the colour and is great for a bronzey-sun-kissed
glow - build-able, depending on how dramatic you want your look to be.
LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES – Tanami - R450
This coral gloss applies beautifully to the lips with a
subtle hint of colour. It’s not sticky and wears well, without causing product
build up. It is the perfect summery shade to finish off a bronzey, summer look
with glowey skin. I know this is going to not leave my handbag!
I will most definitely be packing every single one of these products on my summer holiday coming up as I can honestly say that this entire collection is well worth checking out.

That eyeshadow quad is fantastic. It's so buttery and soft and I love the colours (except the green, but I use it to line my lower lashes for a bit of colour). I just prefer muted colours and it's the perfect quad.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, it's stunning and right up my alley too!
