Hey guys! Sorry that I didn't have a post up on Wednesday, I realised on Thursday evening, when I was away, that I hadn't actually finished the post. Back in April I reviewed the Chanel Spring 2013 Collection, so when I was kindly given the chance to review the L'ete Papillion De Chanel Collection (their summer 2013 collection), I jumped at the chance. I LOVE this collection, it is full of peach and vibrant colours which are perfect for summer.
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipstick - Idylle (457) - £24* I absolutely adore this lipstick, its a sheer peach shade, that has a very hydrating formula which doesn't dry your lips out at all, meaning it would be a great one for people with dry lips! The colour looks quite intense, but when applied it goes really soft and looks gorgeous. Whilst the lasting power isn't exceptionably long, it does only take a few seconds to reapply, plus there is barely any chance of making a mistake because it is sheer and won't leave a stain on your skin. This lipstick has become one of my absolute summer favourites and I am really happy with it!
Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara - Zest (27) - £24* Now, in all honesty I'm not keen on this mascara, only because it is yellow though. If it was in black or brown, I would definitely wear it, but I never normally go for yellow mascaras, as they just don't suit me.
Apart from the colour, it is a great waterproof mascara! You get no clumps at all, making it easy to add dimension and length. I have heard a few varied reviews as to whether or not it does stay waterproof, and for me it really does, it didn't smudge or flake off even after going swimming!
Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer - Envolee (427) - £21* Envolee is a really pretty light peach shade that's very similar to the Idylle lipstick. It can be a bit sticky, so I wouldn't suggest wearing it out if its windy. The lasting power is really good, and it is actually rather waterproof which is always great. This has become one of my go-to lipglosses and it looks so pretty paired with the lipstick!
Chanel Stylo Eyeshadow - Cool Gold (17) - £23* Cool Gold is a luminous gold that has little pieces of silver glitter in. It blends really well with powder eyeshadows, and could always be used as a base! The lasting power is extremely good and doesn't crease. I find that the easiest way to apply the eyeshadow is by putting a bit on my finger, and blending it in. It looks really nice with bronzer, mascara and a pale lip for a quick, summery look.
What do you think about this summer's collection?
Never invested in Chanel, but I'm leaving my job in Debenhams soon so I might use up my discount card on Chanel while I can!
