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.

Keep the wild, wild. Chantecaille represents its commitment to the FairWild Standard (which helps support efforts to ensure plants are managed, harvested and traded in a way that maintains populations in the wild and benefits rural producers) and has embossed each limited-edition eye and cheek shade in this palette with a magnolia—a popular, wild-collected plant used in traditional Chinese medicine and in many of Chantecaille's formulas.

Chantecaille Limited Edition Le Magnolia Eye and Cheek Palette - $83.00 USD

A portion of the proceeds from this palette will be donated to TRAFFIC, which aims to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature.

Magnolia (a delicate and slightly iridescent white)
Bark (a semi-matte, rich neutral brown to define and contour)

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.
