Chanel Ombres Contraste Eyeshadow Duo Review

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.*

Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara

CHANEL is releasing a new mascara called Le Volume de Chanel on chanel.com in limited quantities from November 12 2012.

CHANEL says “this high-precision mascara achieves instant volume and intensely lush colour in a single stroke. Its innovative formula expands, plumping lashes to their fullest. The exclusive new ‘Snowflakes’ brush combines long and short bristles to deliver an extreme, eye-opening effect.”

Diary of a Makeover Event: Chanel Paris Event

CHANEL sent me a parcel the other day. I opened the envelope and out came a series of postcards with gorgeous and very cute drawings on them.

The postcards contained an invitation to a Chanel event at the Chanel Beauty Boutique to discover the quintessential Parisian beauty secrets with a friend. Since I am a Chanel addict and crazy to know how to achieve that French Je du Noir (am pretty sure I spelt this wrongly!), I picked up the phone straight away!

Unfortunately, it was a bored sales assistant who picked up the phone and answer ‘You get to try the new lipsticks’ to my enquiry on what would be happening at the event. It was with much disbelief when I heard that…Did Chanel seriously created a bunch of cute postcards and sent it to customers just to invite them to the counters to try the new lipsticks? Perhaps that explained why prices were increasing all the time?

Fortunately, I received another call later in the week enquiring if I had received their invitation. Now this lady who sounded very bright and cherry on the phone explained in greater detail what the event entails…

The moment she uttered the words ‘there would be light refreshments’…I was sold! Well that and the words ‘complimentary makeover’. Sign me on…
