NEW CHANEL FALL 2015 COLLECTION LES AUTOMNALES - NOW AVAILABLE

The Chanel Fall Collection Les Automnales features a beautiful array of earthy toned colors. There are a few pieces from this collection I will purchase immediately - namely the eyeshadow quad Tisse D'Automne. While others I will have to swatch and see in person before purchasing - the Entrelacs palette and the blush. On Saturday (tomorrow) I have an early morning beauty event to attend and then later that afternoon an appointment at Nordstrom to review and try everything on. So expect an update on this post over the weekend. Are there any pieces from this collection on your "Must Have" list?

This collection is already available at many local department store counters and will be available worldwide later next month (August 2015).
