Chanel Precieuse Rouge Allure Review & Swatches

Chanel Precieuse Rouge Allure

I wouldn’t typically advise you to go out and buy a beige lipstick but I wouldn’t stop you if Chanel Rouge Allure in Precieuse caught your eye and your fancy.

Released with the Chanel Spring 2013 Collection this rather drying shade of beige wouldn’t be something I’d normally navigate to but I admit, I kinda love it.

Chanel La Favorite Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour Review & Swatches

Chanel La Favorite Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour Spring 2013

Seeking a coral lipstick for Spring? Look no further! Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Lip Colour in La Favorite is your girl!

I can’t really do bright shades of coral like this (it kinda leans toward orange) but I surely love the color. As Spring and Summer approach I’m all about peaches, corals, tangerines! La Favorite fits right in with those warm burst of color.

Chanel CC Cream Correction Complete SPF 30 Review & Swatches

Chanel CC Cream Complete Correction SPF 30

Chanel CC Cream Complete Correction SPF 30 launched in Japan a bit ago. You’ll see CC Creams start trending into Summer 2013 with a bigger launch come Fall 2013 I’m sure. They are slowly starting to trickle into the US market. I surely hope that Chanel releases their CC Cream here soon (I suspect you’ll see it come late Summer into Fall) but I’m unsure of its launch as of yet.

I had a friend who lives in Tokyo pick this up for me when it originally launched however, online shops do have it close to retail.

Let’s take a look!

Chanel Captivante Rouge Allure Review & Swatches

Chanel Lipsticks Spring 2013

La Favorite, Captivante, Precieuse

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in Captivante is, well, it’s exactly that, captivating. This was released with the Chanel Spring 2013 Makeup Collection and at a glance I wasn’t particularly wow’ed by the shade.

But suddenly all these comments starting floating around me, people, strangers, asking me “What is that on your lips?” and even many of you commented and asked what I was wearing on a certain FOTD that I did and it just happened to be Captivante.

A lip color that gets this much attention must be special yes?

Chanel Raffinement Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

Chanel Eyeshadow Quad Raffinement Spring 2013

Chanel introduced the Raffinement Eyeshadow Quad with the new Printemps Precieux de Chanel Spring 2013 Collection. This is very a basic palette that creates a pretty, soft look.

I was surprised they decided to introduce this with their Spring Collection as the promo model appears to be wearing something considerably lighter but looking close enough they did create an eye look using these shades. If you work in an office environment you can get addicted to easy to use shades like this.

Chanel Frivole Joues Contraste Blush Review & Swatches

Chanel Joues Contraste Blush Frivole

Chanel Joues Contraste Blush in Frivole will be launched with the Chanel Spring 2013 Precieux de Printemps de Chanel Collection.

At a glance it’s an intimating shade of orange but is described as a apricot by Chanel. For me, it’s orange, I’m not getting the apricot. Considering I have this unusual obsession with orange makeup, even though I can’t wear it, I was intrigued by the shade.

Chanel Poudre Signee de Chanel Illuminating Powder will be released with the Chanel Spring 2012 Makeup Collection that’s available this January. Your counter may already have it in stock so do check if you’d like to snag it a little earlier.

Chanel Poudre Signee de Chanel Illuminating Powder is a sheerer highlighting powder that creates a soft, light reflecting luminosity on skin.

Chanel Allegorie Glossimer Lipgloss Review & Swatches

Chanel Allegorie Glossimer Lip gloss

Chanel Allegorie Glossimer Lipgloss ($29.50) is a new limited edition shade that launched with the Chanel Holiday 2012 Collection. This is a sheer, shimmering pink shade.

I typically favor a deeper lip look for the Holidays. I like to embrace shades of red (that I can pull off without looking like a clown) or super sparkly glosses. Sheer, nude shimmering shades of pink? Not so much!

Chanel Reverie Natural Loose Powder Holiday 2012 Review & Swatches

Chanel Reverie Natural Loose Powder Holiday 2012

I’ve come across some great finishing powders to love this Holiday season one of which is Chanel’s Natural Loose Powder in Reverie ($52). With great sadness I’ll have to wave goodbye to Reverie once the Holidays are over as this is a limited edition shade that is releasing with the Chanel Holiday 2012 Collection.

I’m considering a back up at this point in my Holiday makeup life.
