Chanel Summer 2009 Makeup Collection

From elegant monte carlo to the seaside of Deauville, Mademoiselle Chanel’s favorite resort destinations are re-imagined in the Chanel Summer 2009 Makeup Collection. Cool corals, sun-soaked reds, sandy-pink beiges, lush peaches and shimmering coppers with a touch of rose define this summer’s vibrant beauty.

A quartet of complementary shades – bronze, copper, pink and pale beige — delivers a subtle, natural glow.

Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base
Light cream-gel bronzing formula allows you to smooth on the perfect shade of tan, while the velvety finish leaves your skin glowing.

Lips

Accent warm bronzed skin with juicy berry tones and gleaming sheer shades using AQUALUMIÈRE Sheer Colour Lipshine SPF 15 in Ischia (rose violet), Lipari (strawberry), Porto Rotondo (red), Salina (beige), Panarea (brown) and Monte-Carlo (red coral) — or AQUALUMIÈRE GLOSS in Cherry Blossom (cerise), Tangerine Dream (coral) and Ginger Shimmer (copper gold).

Or, for a long-lasting iridescent finish, adorn lids with OMBRE D’EAU Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Seashore (copper rose).

OH MY!!! Very excited!! Looking to get a bronzer and blush, and DEFINITELY some of those aqualumiere lipglosses! Mmm… cherry blossom, tangerine dream… come to mama!

Yeah she does, she’s the same one from the spring campaign right? She reminds me of some German air hostess straight out of the 80s. But that’s ok with me, Air Hostess makeup is love. Haha! I’ve always admired that polished look they have.

I bought the blush in In Love (a beautiful peach that works on even on my super-fair cool-toned skin when applied lovely) and the Monte Carlo Aqualumiere. I do have to say the lipstick looks more like a soft pink-peach than a red-coral.

The nail polish is nice, but nothing that can’t be easily duped in Zoya, O.P.I., etc or a dozen cheaper brands. It’s just a regular tangerine-orange.
