NEW! CHANEL ROUGE COCO STYLO LIPSHINES AND LE VERNIS LONGWEAR NAIL COLOUR - NOW AVAILABLE

I am a huge fan of the original rouge coco shines so I am super excited to give these new rouge coco stylo lipshines a try. I will post swatches and let you know how they compare to the original. In addition to the lipshines Chanel has reformulated and re-released their le vernis nailpolishes. With fifteen gorgeous shades to choose from there are a few new shades and the rest are re-promotes. This collection also includes a new gel top coat! No UV lamp needed, just natural light to activate - now, how cool is that!

THE NEW COMPLETE CARE LIPSHINE AND LONGWEAR NAIL COLOUR

Introducing two new innovations in colour: ROUGE COCO STYLO offers the intensity of a lipstick, the shine of a lipgloss and the hydrating comfort of a lip balm — all in one creamy yet lightweight texture. Newly renovated with a 5-free formula, LE VERNIS features Bioceramics and Ceramides to improve the quality of nails, while delivering long-lasting, high-shine colour.

CHANEL LES SAUTOIRS DE COCO COLLECTION - NOW AVAILABLE AT NORDSTROM!

I absolutely adore the Les Sautoirs de Coco collection from Chanel! Typically Chanel will release a few select pieces from their Asia exclusive spring collection, such as this, for purchase online only. Then during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale the items will be available in-stores. However I just checked the Nordstrom website and the highlight powder is available online. Hopefully we will see this collection in store at Nordstrom beauty counters real soon but if you can't wait and you are a "must see in person before you buy" then two Chanel Boutiques (Chicago and New York) did receive the entire collection. So you might want to plan a quick trip there if you are in the area.

P.S. The gorgeous highlight powder (which is calling my name) is "FINALLY" back in stock and available for purchase.

NEW! CHANEL LA SUNRISE SPRING 2016 COLLECTION - NOW AVAILABLE

The Chanel Spring collection typically arrives at department store counters right at Christmas. So it always makes for a great last minute gift especially if the shades are complimentary to your skin tone. This year for Spring 2016 (how odd does that sound when we have yet to experience winter and it's Christmas!) Chanel has released their collection LA Sunrise.

PLEASE NOTE:

Almost every year across many makeup brands we typically see price increases with the launch of Spring collections. This year Chanel has implemented their price increase on a few of the products listed below.
