Chanel Holiday 2013 Collection (Nuit Infinie de Chanel) // REVIEW

Hey guys! I am back with another review on the most recent Chanel collection. Some of you who have been reading my blog for a while may remember that I have reviewed some bits from the last three Chanel collections, so when I was kindly sent four products to try out I was really excited! This collection is called Collection Nuit Infinie De Chanel, also known as the Holiday Collection, and it features lots of lovely bold, glittery shades, whilst having some more subtle shades, that would be perfect for Christmas/holiday time.

Also before I start, Kathryn was lucky enough to be sent these products too and she reviewed them last week and a half ago, so be sure to have a look at her review here! Now, onto my review..

Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour - Rouge Rubis (677) - £17.50*

Isn't this such a perfect red! I was seriously impressed with it's drying time since one of the problems I have with a lot of nail polishes is that even when they are dry, it's quite easy to damage the polish. However this one dried in a few minutes and went to the same consistency that a gel polish does, I even tried scratching it and it didn't leave a single mark! 

I think that you will also agree that this is a gorgeous, very pigmented shade! Plus it is definitely Christmasy too, and out of all the red nail polishes I own (about 15) this is by far my favourite. The lasting power is great, as it stayed on my nails for around four days without chipping/beginning to show signs of wear! Whilst yes, this is on the expensive side, it is an amazing nail polish and without a doubt, worth the money. 

Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour - Radieuse (217) - £25*

I am a huge fan of the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine range, however I have only ever tried one lipstick from the Rouge Allure range, which added to my excitement when I was sent this! The shade of this is very pretty baby pink - it reminded me of the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in the shade 101, however is is slightly lighter and has more of a blue undertone (which apparently makes your teeth appear whiter!) 

I must admit that I wasn't too keen on the shade when I wore it as first, as it is quite pale and matte, and matte lipsticks don't tent to suit me. Although I have changed my mind after wearing it a couple of times! I find that it looks lovely with a slightly darker eye, or even if you wear it with a lip gloss. 

I only have one negative about this product really, which is the lasting power. Now I am used to the four hour+ lasting power of the Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks, so when this particular one only lasted for about two hours I must admit that I was slightly disappointed! Still I think that two hours is pretty good in the grand scheme of things, and I have heard that it lasted longer on other peoples' lips so maybe it was just mine?

Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush - Accent (84) - £31*

How gorgeous is this blush?! It isn't the normal pinky-peach shade that I normally stick to, instead it is a warm amber shade with subtle pink undertones and an ever-so-slight shimmer, so I was quite surprised just how well this suited me. Instead of giving you a rosy glow, it gives more of a slightly bronzed look, which I think looks absolutely lovely at this time of year! 

As of most Chanel products, the pigmentation is really great and the lasting powder is seriously amazing! I could still quite viably see it on my cheeks after about eight hours, which I think you will agree is pretty good. I would definitely repurchase this (if it wasn't limited edition) as it isn't your average blush, and I haven't seen many this shade before! 

Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre Natural Finish Loose Powder - Moon Light (77) - £36*

This is the "traditional" pot of powder with the little powder puff, sieve and classic glass jar! I would definitely say this would be best used as a highlighter because as you can see from my swatch, it is extremely glittery. I apply a tiny bit along my cheek bones, possibly in the inner corner of my eye, and on my brow bone, to give them a little bit of a shimmer and highlight! 

I noticed that that it stayed in place seriously well, and I didn't end up with any sort of fall out, which with a product this glittery you wouldn't want happening for obvious reasons! The lasting power is very good, and it was still completely there after about eight hours aswell, however it was considerably less when I used it in the corner of my eye. I think that even with its hefty price tag it would make an absolutely gorgeous present for somebody, or as a treat for yourself! 

That is it for my review of the Chanel Holiday 2013 Collection! I hope that you enjoyed reading it and let me know if you have bought anything from the collection, and what you thought about them.
