Eyes: My favorite piece of the collection is LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eye Shadow in limited-edition Beiges de CHANEL. The colors range from soft-to-deep shades of cream, taupe, gold, and brown. The shadows are pearlescent and shimmery. I bought this Quad the instant I saw it and I absolutely adore it. If you have blue eyes, definitely think about picking this up.
The collection also includes MBRE D’EAU Fluid Iridescent Eye shadow in limited-edition Riviera, a pale gold; LE CRAYON YEUX Precision Eye Definer in limited-edition Noir Scintillant, a soft black with gold shimmer and LA LIGNE DE CHANEL Professional Eyeliner Duo in limited-edition Brun-Lamé, a combination of dark brown and soft brown sparkle.
Lips: This holiday season is all about the look of shimmering, just-kissed lips. Define the mouth with LE CRAYON LÈVRES Precision Lip Definer in Rouge, a true red. ROUGE ALLURE Luminous Satin Lip Colour arrives in Nude, a pale nude; limited-edition Exaltation, a coral red; Ardent, a rosewood shade; and Audace, a true red.
The lip collection continues with AQUALUMIÈRE Sheer Colour Lipshine SPF 15 in limited-edition Cancun, a soft beige. For the brush-on precision of a gloss with the comfortable finish of a lipstick, try CRÈME GLOSS LUMIÈRE Brush-On Creme Lip Colour in limited-edition Praline Rose, a pink bronze, or Canelé, a warm bronze. Lips glimmer with LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES Glossimer in Red Shine and limited-edition Gold Shine.
Face: There is a gorgeous limited-edition gold highlighting powder in the collection. It applies very lightly and adds a touch of shimmer wherever you use it. I find it's especially pretty on cheekbones. There is also a new highlighter face pen in Beige Rosé.
Nails: Of course, the must-have nail shades of the season will come from Chanel. There are two limited-edition Le Vernis Nail Colours in the collection: Perle Rosée, a warm beige-pink, and Haute Chocolat, a chocolate gold. I bought the Haute Chocolat and absolutely love it.
