Chanel Autumn 2013 Collection (Superstition) // REVIEW


Hey guys! As it is now officially Autumn, I thought I would review the Chanel (extremely pretty) things that I was sent a little while ago. I have reviewed some bits from the Spring & Summer 2013 collection in the past, so I was really happy when I was able to try some of the Autumn collection, because lets face it, who doesn't love the shades of makeup at this time of year?!

This season's collection is called the Superstition collection, and I absolutely love it! There are a range of shades, from deep plums, subtle pinks and lovely corals, so there is something for everyone.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipstick - Instinct (86) - £24* The Rouge Coco range has got to be one of my favourite lipstick ranges, they are ridiculously moisturising, which for me is pretty essential during Autumn/Winter! You can even wear them when you lips are all flaky and horrible, they are definitely one of my go-to lipsticks. 

The formulation is a lot like a lip balm which is really nice! It is not drying what-so-ever and lasts about 2 hours, which honestly isn't tremendously great, but it is a light shade so I guess it does fade easier. This shade comes out a light lavender pink when applied to the lips, although the swatch is a tad pinkier. It does come up slightly glossy and has some little glitter particles in it! 

Definitely a great lipstick if you don't follow the dark lipped trend in Autumn!


Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Colour Lipstick - Esprit (88) - £24* How lovely is this shade?! I don't ever wear dark shades much, as I don't think they suit me, however this isn't too dark whilst still light enough for my liking. I did notice that that Esprit definitely lasted longer than Instinct, possibly because it is a darker shade. The shade is somewhere between burgundy and pink berry, plus it has a strong shine! 

The pigmentation is extremely high, so you must be careful not to make any mistakes with it! Like I said before, they are very moisturising making them perfect for Autumn/Winter. I also think this would be a gorgeous shade for Christmas (I am already thinking about that, yes)!


Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush - Malice (71) - £31* First of, I must admit that this blush is from a previous collection, however Chanel are considering it as part of their Autumn range, so I can still review it! This is a perfect peachy coral shade and I absolutely love it. There is some shimmer in it, but nothing too bad. 

It applies very easily which is always great, however it is very pigmented, meaning you have to use the TINIEST bit otherwise you will end up very pink cheeked! This lasts for hours, making it great for anyone who can't top up their blush during the day! 


Chanel Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow - Hasard (99) - £23*  Hasard is a completely matte lavender-brown shade. It isn't overly pigmented so it's easy to build upon, depending on whatever level of colour you want! I wore this for about 7 hours and it didn't start to crease a single bit, which I was very happy about.

The texture is so soft and you can really feel that it isn't drying! This has got to be one of my favourite eyeshadows at the moment, as it is a perfect colour for Autumn if you don't like a heavy eye.


Chanel Le Volume De Chanel Mascara - Khaki Bronze (40) - £24* I am one of those people who like to stick to their black mascaras, and never stray from them. When I got sent this I had to try this the next day as I had never tried a khaki shade! 

The brush is amazing, it's spikes are very short and thin, making it very easy to achieve clumpless lashes! I didn't need to separate my lashes at all, which I have to do with all my mascaras, so I must admit it was a welcome surprise. The shade is true to it's name, a traditional khaki with a hint of bronze, which makes your lashes a lovely natural colour, especially great for daytime! 

Overall I adore this Autumn's collection, and may have to purchase a couple of bits myself (the cream blushes especially have been catching my eye). Again Chanel have outdone themselves!

What do you think of this Autumn's collection?
