CHANEL Stylo Eyeshadow Ombre Effect is a “A smooth-gliding pen applicator delivers a new lightweight, long-wear shadow that highlights eyes with gleaming colour. A cooling, water-infused formula creates a shimmering veil on lids—or precisely lines the eyes with perfect definition. An exclusive creation from the L’ÉTÉ PAPILLON DE CHANEL Collection”
Stylo Eyeshadow Ombre Effect Available in:
CHANEL released Rouge Coco Shine Adyil #457 and Pygmalion #467 as part of the Summer 2013 collection.
CHANEL’s L’ete Papillion collection is inspired by the “The dazzling colours of butterflies inspire a joyful look for face and fingertips with the enchanting Summer collection. Lashes flutter in electric shades of mascara and eyelids are adorned with gleaming colours. Nails and lips complete the effect with shades of sunlit brilliance.”
CHANEL ‘Ombres Matelassées’ Pearl River Eyeshadow Palette is described as ‘bright silvery white, white gold, vintage gold, peach, and brown. To create big, bright eyes, contrast the deep brown shade with the bright white color.’
The Hysan Place collection was created exclusively to celebrate the opening of Hysan Place in Hong Kong edition and the ‘Ombres Matelassées’ Pearl River Eyeshadow Palette is one of the three limited edition items in the collection.
Chanel describes the Complete Correction Cream aka (CC) cream as ‘a completely original creation. A fusion of skincare and makeup. The double know-how of CHANEL Research and the Makeup Studio. Backed by true expertise regarding the precise needs of Asian women in terms of flawless skin. With its CHANEL signature, CC Cream combines 5 actions in 1 single step:
Within moments, skin appears flawless and glows with a natural beauty. The complexion is visibly even-toned, fresh and radiant. CC Cream delivers complete correction and natural-looking, long-wear makeup. An ideal cream for day-long confidence with a lightweight, non-oily, comfortable texture.’
BB creams are all the rage in Asia, so I was puzzled that Chanel had not jumped onto the BB wagon. But I did some research and discovered that Chanel had indeed produced a CC cream last year. Unfortunately it was only available in China. Reviews were on the whole positive. Since January 2013, the CC cream should be available Asia-wide.
The latest incarnation of Chanel’s famous Rouge Allures….Rouge Allure Intense Lip colour is described as “One lip color. One style. A woman’s allure is defined. With its line of fresh and luminous shades that are more intense than ever, ROUGE ALLURE offers a radiant and satiny makeup result with optimal hold, in an ultra-smooth, meltaway texture. Nestled in its sleek black case, ROUGE ALLURE unleashes the full intensity of its colour with one simple click and its ultra-femininity in a single sweep.”
CHANEL created a limited edition collection exclusively to celebrate the opening of Hysan Place in Hong Kong.
The three exclusive products include:
I believe this collection is/will be available exclusively at the Chanel boutiques.
CHANEL introduced a range of duo eyeshadows sometime in 2010 (I think) called the Ombre Contraste Duos. This foolproof pairing of complementary shades — in two unique textures — is housed in one convenient compact. The softly shimmering light shade is a creamy powder, which can be worn alone for a luminous effect, or as a base to extend the wear of the accompanying deep-toned shadow. The dark shade has intense micronized pigments for true colour application, and a matte finish to create depth and contour. Two applicators are included: a foam-tip to apply the shadows and a brush to blend. Available in six essential shade harmonies designed to take the guesswork out of harmonizing and applying eyeshadow.*
