Today we’re loving… Chanel

Oh Chanel. Really, could you be any more perfect? More gorgeous? No, we didn’t think so.

Daydreaming about sitting on the Riviera is all we’ve been doing recently, and were overly excited when Chanel’s Collection Mediterranée arrived at the office.

The collection is inspired by Coco favourite summer destination, The French Riviera. The press release describes the collection with such detail that we could almost feel the sun on our skin. Read for yourself:

“Both a haven of peace and a new space of freedom, the Riviera of the Roaring Twenties was a favourite destination of Gabrielle Chanel. Contemplating the Mediterranean, the eye wanders as far as the shores of Italy and time approaches a standstill in the clear air. Under the blue Riviera sky, skin is tanned and style is casual. Between sunny getaways and dips in the sea, summer brings with it a new lifestyle, far from Paris and the rue Cambon;  close to nature. The CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio extends the memories of the season with a vibrant collection immersed in azure blue and infused with light.”

See, told you, you’re there, aren’t you? Champagne in hand.

Anyway, the collection is smaller than most, but perfectly formed nonetheless.

The Limited Edition Exclusive Creation comes in the form of the GORGEOUS Lumiére D’été. And on the nails, there are 4 stunning, sunshine shades (1 of which, Terrana, is a limited edition.)

There are 5 limited edition Stylo Eyeshadows – we don’t exactly need anymore stick eyeshadows, but the turquoise Azulejo is a beautiful addition to my collection. There is also a limited edition waterproof eye Stylo called Orchidée.

Lips are taken care of with 4 Rouge coco Shines (1 limited edition, Amorosa) and 2 Lévres Scintillantes (again, 1 limited edition shade, Allegria).

The collection is available at all Chanel counters now.
