Chanel Reverie Parisienne Spring 2015: Jardin de Chanel Blush Camelia Rose & Les 4 Ombres Tisse Fantaisie

Hello my dears!! Hope everyone had a memorable New Year Eve celebration, and are all geared to start 2015 on a high note! It feels funny to start the new year in the middle of the week, but there’s no better time to admire the gorgeous Spring 2015 collection from Chanel! Chanel Reverie Parisienne Spring […]

Chanel Reve d’Orient Quadra Eyeshadow Palette is a real Star!

Chanel Reve d’Orient Quadra Eyeshadow Palette is a special limited edition release that was initially sold exclusively at the Chanel Boutique in New York in October, and then slowly rolled out online and finally landed here in Singapore 2 weeks ago. It was designed for the Dubai Cruise 2015 fashion show earlier this year, and […]

Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss

Chanel has been hitting all the right notes with me lately (well not errrthang thank goodness, but enough to startle), and their latest Rouge Allure Glosses are no exception.

Chanel Collection Plumes Precieuses for Holiday 2014

Can you believe it’s mid-November already? I think it’s time to get cracking on those Holiday 2014 collections, but for some reason I’m feeling rather uninspired this year. Maybe it’s the result of having over-indulged all through the year… maybe I need to go eat a leaf like the Hungry Caterpillar, hide away in my own […]

Chanel Les Rouges Culte: Le Vernis Rouge N°19

The second of the Chanel Les Rouges Culte that I picked up (for the 1st, please see here) is the Chanel Le Vernis Rouge N°19. Just as with Laque Rouge, Rouge N°19 is a re-issue of an old classic, this time from 1987.

Chanel Les Rouges Culte 2014: Le Vernis 71 Laque Rouge

For Fall 2014, Chanel re-released 3 shades of classic reds from the 1980s, under the Chanel Les Rouges Culte Collection. But the timing of these is interesting, it did not coincide with the launch of their fall collection (see here and here), and it late in the season to coincide with the launch of the […]

Chanel Coco Noir Eau de Parfum & Body Cream

Chanel Coco Noir was first launched in 2012, but I have only recently been able to sit back and appreciate it. Inspired by the time that Coco Chanel spent in Venice in 1919 shortly after the death of her lover, Boy Capel. She fell in love with the exquisite beauty of Venice and its Byzantine influences […]

Chanel Vitalumiere Loose Powder Foundation & Le Blanc de Chanel

Chanel recently launched a couple of base products that I’m loving immensely. Unlike their seasonal offerings, Chanel seems to have a practice of quietly releasing permanent products to very little fanfare (so different from their competitors!). I would have missed them completely if not for a very enlightening workshop which I attended recently.

Chanel Collection États Poétiques Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow

This Fall 2014, Chanel has released 6 new Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadows, 2 of which are limited edition whilst the other 4 are joining the permanent collection. I’ve never dabbled with them very much in the past, usually gravitating towards a palette or one of the Illusion d’Ombres, but with the preponderance of new […]

Chanel Les 4 Ombres Poésie for Fall 2014

Continuing in our soft transition to Fall, is Chanel’s new limited edition Les 4 Ombres Multi-effect Quadra Eyeshadow in Poésie (#234). This is part of the FW2014 Collection États Poétiques, and feature the recently released baked eyeshadow formula that I’m convinced is one of the best in the market right now. “A poetic Fall palette.
