CHANEL SUMMER 2012 MAKEUP: SUMMERTIME DE CHANEL

As longer days and warm, breezy nights herald the start of Summer, Chanel embraces the season and all the vibrant makeup hues it inspires. In the Summer 2012 Collection, SUMMERTIME DE CHANEL, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, replicates the natural glow of sunbathed skin with luminous bronze, gold and copper tones. Playing up a radiant complexion: season-perfect lip and nail shades, from fresh pastels to bright corals.

SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL: Luminous Bronzing Powder ($65.00 USD)
Two bronzers, each comprised of seven unique shades, including a luminous gold - lend subtle hints of warmth and shimmer to every complexion.

Blended altogether, the shades create a seamless bronzing effect; used on their own, the gold powders illuminate the complexion, while the darker shades sculpt the face when gently swept along its natural contours.

Inspired by long summer days, this sunlit palette of soft bronzes,
luminous golds and bright corals lights up the face, lips and nails.

A soft peach palette that brings a fresh glow to lighter skin

SABLE ROSE - Golden Pink

NOW AVAILABLE: ALLURE "SUMMER" 2012 BEAUTY BOX

Allure Summer 2012 Beauty Box - Available April 24th @ 12:01PM EST.

It is officially Spring but Summer is only two months away and I am so ready for the warmer weather. Although this year's Spring season has been rather warm at times which has me worried about how hot it will get this Summer. Hopefully it won't be too hot though.

Anyway, last year I ordered the Allure Beauty Box (you can check out my post here) and I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by everything that I received. So I am definitely going to order it again this year when it becomes available.

This year's Allure Beauty Box seems like it will be as great, if not better, than last years. The cost is $39.99 plus shipping and handling (last year it was $10 for shipping) and $5 from each purchase will be donated to The Skin Cancer Foundation.

CHANEL LE VERNIS NAIL COLOUR: 505 PARTICULIERE NAIL POLISH (NOTD)

CHANEL LE VERNIS NAIL COLOUR: 505 PARTICULIERE

I heard that when this Chanel nail color first came out a few years ago, it sold out within hours and bidding wars ensued on eBay. Thankfully, I wasn't really into Chanel back then so I didn't get caught up in all the drama. However, I was in my "Everything must be MAC" faze, so that alone was its own drama. LOL

Anyway, I was at my local Chanel counter and I purchased this nailpolish. It is a really beautiful creamy nailpolish that is a gray brownish taupe with subtle undertone hints of grayish purple. The current retail price is $26 for 0.4 fl. oz.
