Product Lust: Les Impressions de Chanel

Let it be declared – and publicly so – that I adore Chanel. I love King Karl and his bizarre ways (check out the dvd!), the clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery… everything is TO DIE FOR. The skincare is incredible, too, but – with a few notable exceptions – the make up doesn't always cut it for me.

Before Christmas, I had a Chanel make up session in the US with one of their professional team. These are the products she used, and they're totally different to what I'd normally wear.

How hot is this? Works brilliantly as a highlighter, but could also work as an eyeshadow with a bit of mascara for a beach look.



This has a real 50s vibe to it colour-wise. It's all cadillacs, Smeg fridges, bakelite jewellery, vintage milk jugs, stand-up hair dryers… *ahem* you get the drift, right? To apply: Be warned you need to use a base and to layer the shadow by patting it on for impact, especially with darker skin tones. Mental note: Do not break/lose this before summer, will look hot with vintage dresses!
