Chanel Les Jean de Chanel Les Vernis Collection

CHANEL is launching the Les Jean de Chanel Les Vernis collection for fashion night week.

Three denim inspired shades in:

• Blue Rebel
• Coco Blue
• Blue Boy

Availability: These are available for an extremely*  limited time only and are launching on September 8 2011. If you don’t want to miss out, Chanel urges you to join the wait list here.

If you are in Singapore, this collection is premiering at Chanel Fragrance and Beauty Boutique, Marina Bay Sands from 19 Sept 2011. Also available at the CHANEL Makeup Studio at ION Orchard from 23 Sept 2011.

For enquiries, please call the CHANEL Makeup Studio at ION Orchard (Tel: 6634 5500) and CHANEL Fragrance and Beauty Boutique at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands (Tel: 6634 7280).

Do you fancy any of these?? Tell me if I should be good and save my moolah since there’s nothing remotely ‘fashionable’ about me and these shades definitely wouldn’t be appropriate for my ultra-conservative work environment. What do you readers think? Splurge or save?

Still can’t decide if you should purchase or get on the waiting list? Check out The Beauty Look Book’s swatches and comparisons.

Dreaming of a White Christmas…

Inspired by my previous post of snowflake accessories at Wishing for a White Christmas …i did a search on beauty items with snowflakes on them or beauty items that had the Christmas theme.. so presenting the snowflake beauty items…

Lanegie

Lanegie has a limited edition Christmas range of eyeshadow palettes and lipglosses. Apparently every winter season they introduce a collection that has snowflakes on them!! How cute is that?? Check out  Rouge Deluxe’s Blog and Musing of a Muse ‘s blog for more information.

Givenchy

There is also Givenchy’s Chrismas Collection of a Blush and Eyeshadow Palette. I believe they are also limited edition items.

If snowflakes dont interest you… how about Angels??

Holiday Shopping List…pressies for myself.

I thought I would do a post on my holiday shopping list…for myself. I have always loved fall and holiday collections…every autumn season always introduces really rich shades which I love and holiday collection always has such gorgeous sparkly items and the best red lippies and smokey eye shades are always produced during this period. Nothing beats a really gorgeous red lippie with neutral shimmery eyes or a smokey eye with nude lips for parties!!

If money grows from trees or falls from the sky, I would buy the entire Chanel Holiday Collection and probably get a jet plane to take me across the ocean just so I can pick up that dreaded Beiges de Chanel palette which I can only fawn over through pictures on my laptop…thank god my laptop is waterproof…all that drooling might just kill my laptop!! Since I am on that jet plane, I might as well pick up the Lancome colour focus eye palette that for some straight reason…isnt available in UK. I do not want the palette with that blue eyeshadow…i want that purpley neutral quad featured in karen’s Makeup and Beauty blog!

But seriously….and sadly…money does not come easily and with the current credit crunch, my holiday list has been shorten… really, really shorten! So ladies and gentlemen…I hereby give you nutsaboutmakeup’s Holiday Shopping List!

• LE Creme de Gloss in Honey Delight and Pink Essence – if it isnt LE, I would be purchasing this after Xmas

Giorgio Armani

• LE red lippies - for the past 2 years in a row, GA has featured red lippies for their Black Gem Holiday Collections. Unfortunately, I havent come across any red lippies in magazine or online. But since their red lippies are too die for…am just budgeting for this item!

Guerlain

• LE Meteorites Voyager Butterfly compact – see the picture?? gorgeous isnt it?? Its even better in real life!

Trish McEvoy

• LE Pure Platinum Portable Beauty – am not too sure if I would get a chance to lay my hands on this baby. There are only 2 counters in London that stocks Trish items (Selfridges and Harvey Nicholas) so items fly off the shelf fast! I would have prefer the Rose (Red) Portable Beauty that was introduced for Spring…but apparently I was too slow…2 weeks slow to the counter!

That is the end of my short holiday shopping list…as you can see…they are all LE (limited edition ) items. I figured I can always purchase those non limited edition items at a later date…perhaps by that time, I would have (hopefully) lost interest in them! By the way, am most curious on the items you are purchasing for yourself as a Christmas pressie…so please do post your holiday shopping lists.

Happy Holidays!
