Chanel Coco Mademoiselle - Hall of Fame Worthy?
Pros - it’s still a super classic and very wearable for many people.
Cons – I don’t find myself reaching for it as often as I would like.
Does it stay in the Hall of Fame?
Might this be CHANEL’s tipping of the hat to Pantone’s color of the Tangerine Tango? It's not spot on but in the same color family with a gold hugh to it.
Welcome to the CHANEL's Spring 2012 Makeup Collection. So how does the one-and-only see the season? Let’s look through their eyes with a few products in the line today and start with the eyes.
There are a few things in life I just don’t get: stirrup pants, lip plumpers, UGG Boots and Beef Jerky. And I think I’m adding this face powder to the list. CHANEL Natural Finish Loose Powder in Ferrie 47 is part of the Holiday 2011 Makeup Collection and a really beautiful light and soft shimmering pink. So what’s the problem?
I was really excited when I read about CHANEL’s new Rouge Allure Velvet Lipsticks. And I admit my expectations were high when I tried these two colors - #36 La Caline, muted rose shade and #38 La Fascinante, a dark rose. So how did they fair?
What It Is: Inspired by the heritage and savoir faire of the artisanal craftsmanship of the House of Chanel, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, introduces new textures and makeup effects in a radiant Fall 2011 Collection, ILLUSIONS D’OMBRES DE CHANEL. At the heart of this captivating colour story: Shimmering bronze, gold and platinum are the perfect complements to plum, khaki and copper shades on eyes and lips. Unique reflections of metallic green, silver and beige on nails provide the ideal counterpoint.

GIVENCHY hit it on the head with this Le Prism Eyeshadow Quartet in Candide Garden from their Spring 2011 Collection. The 3 pastels are so spring and the chocolate brown is a nice contour shade that blends with each beautifully. $56 @ sephora.com.
I am such a lip stain fan and always have been. And while I really like this SMASHBOX Limitless Lip Stain & Color Seal Balm, why the roughness of the pen on the stain application side? I mean, does it help with the application of staying power? This is not the first marker-type stain I have used but the ouchie part seems to be a trend. It feels like a low-grade sandpaper!
Anyway, this one comes in 6 different colors and is good one for when you are on your way to the mall to try on clothes. Who wants to worry about lipstick or gloss when pulling something with the tags attached over your head? Color picks Berry (muted raspberry) and Guave (bright coral orange). $23 @ sephora.com.
So what is CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine exactly? It’s not a lip gloss and a little bit sheerer than a lipstick so if just a touch of color is more your thing, you may want to try these out. They come in 18 shades. $32 @ chanel.com.

What It is: LES TENTATIONS DE CHANEL offers a sumptuous collection of tempting chocolates and fuchsias for the holiday season. Warm, vibrant tones punctuated with pops of festive colour create effects that are at once charming and sensuous.
