Spring at CHANEL

The weather here has an Arctic feel but at CHANEL it's SPRING!!! 

CHANEL's new Spring makeup, Collection Rêverie Parisienne, has arrived on the beauty counters.  Inspired by the gardens of Paris, it's a beautiful collection of pinks and corals.


This is my first Spring purchase - Rouge Coco Shine, Hydrating Sheer Lipshine, in Étourdie (no. 98), a raspberry pink with a lovely shimmer.


I don't think I can resist the lovely Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow palette in Tissé Paris (no. 238).  It contains four eyeshadows - an intense rosewood, a soft rosewood, slate grey and sheer ivory.  

I also liked Rouge Allure Velvet, Luminous Matte Lip Colour, in La Romanesque (no. 50), an intense violet/fuschia shade and Le Vernis Nail Colour in Désirio (no. 643), which could be described as a magenta or fuschia shade.

Meanwhile, there was another garden at the recent CHANEL Haute Couture Spring 2015 collection presented in Paris.  The setting for the show was a botanical glasshouse with animated hothouse flowers in many colours and the very pretty collection reflected this theme. A chic gardener, dressed in beige and white opened the show followed by some brightly coloured little suits with flared mini skirts in apricot, blue, yellow and deep pink with black.  There were tweed suits with a new look - cropped jackets exposing the midriff or with fringed tweed. Hats were very significant - beanies with little veils or the huge"cloud" hats.  All the outfits were worn with little black boots. 

I thought this was a beautiful Spring collection.
