Chanel Summer 2014 Collection (Reflects D'Ete De Chanel) // REVIEW

Hey guys! First off, I am sorry for the complete lack of posts recently - blogging began to feel like a chore and I wasn't really enjoying it much but I've now had some time off and hopefully I can get back into the swing of things! 

Today I am back with another Chanel seasonal makeup review, this time for the Summer 2014 collection! This collection is orientated around bold, bright colours, which would look amazing with a Summer tan. As I have stated many times before (and you are all probably sick of hearing), Chanel is such a huge favourite of mine meaning that I was really eager to test these four products out!

Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer - Hello (184) - £22* Lipglosses are one of those things that can be very awkward to wear, one slight gust of wind and you end up with very unattractive hair-covered lips, however the Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer lipglosses are different! Rather than just being sticky, they have more of a jelly-like texture which reduces the amount of stickiness by quite a lot.

The shade Hello is a very glossy and pretty sheer pink shade, but I prefer to wear this over a lipstick or lipstain as it doesn't have much colour payoff by itself! The formulation is extremely light, and I find that I only need to reapply roughly every three hours which isn't too bad.

Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour - Sweet Lilac (615) - £17.50* Sweet Lilac is a gorgeous lilac shade (which is a colour of nail polish that I didn't actually own), with the most amazing glossy finish to it! To get the sort of strength of colour that I like I apply three coats, but you could easily get away with only wearing two if you'd like a lighter shade. 

I get around four days wear out of this, with a top coat, without it showing any signs of damage which I'm quite satisfied with. I can't wait to wear this more throughout Summer and next Spring and Summer (wow, thinking ahead a bit there Millie)!

Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara - Violet Touch (67) - £25* I'm just going to state what everybody is thinking, this is a ridiculously odd shade of mascara! With this being an extreme purple blue shade of mascara, I will have to be brutally honest and say that this is just not something I would wear. 

Colour aside, the application is really nice since it makes my lashes appear longer, voluminous and clump free! You also get the added bonus of it being waterproof, which is definitely the formulation which I tend to favour. This lasts quite happily on my lashes all day with very minor fallout, so I would have to say that this is a lovely product, but sorry Chanel I just can't make the colour work for me! 

Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow - New Moon (97) - £25* Who else just instantly fell in love with this product after seeing what it looks like?! New Moon is a beautiful aubergine shade with a slight bronze tinge to it, as well as having a tiny little specks of silver glitter. The Illusion D'Ombre eyeshadows aren't just another cream eyeshadow, instead they have a luxurious creamy and smooth texture, despite the level of glitter - which make them ridiculously easy to apply and blend! 

I've found that there isn't even need for a primer with this product, as it already has that creamy texture that primers have! I get a full day of wear and with very little fallout. I really can't talk more highly of this eyeshadow, it's definitely a makeup must! 

I hope that you all enjoyed this post! My favourite product out of this collection would have to be the Illusion D'Ombre eyeshadow (but I'm sure that you already guessed that). I'm really looking forward to the Autumn collection as it seems to have some gorgeous purple shades!
