NOTD: Chanel Le Vernis in 539 June

Chanel Alchimie 591 ($27 for 13 ml/0.4 fl oz, Nordstrom.com) is new for fall. It’s a mossy olive shimmer with a hint of gold and khaki. The color has a very smooth streak-free shimmer and applies beautifully with two coats. I’m usually not a fan of greens on the nails or olive colors since they tend to clash with my yellow/olive-toned skin, but Chanel always does greens beautifully. I’ve worn this for almost 4 days now and I’ve had no chips or tip wear. I love that it’s a work-appropriate neutral with a bit of edge. Swatched: Many have asked how it compares to Peridot from several years ago. Here are some swatches and photos. Peridot has a more visible shimmer/iridescent quality. It’s also brighter and more yellow/gold. It literally glows on the skin. Alchimie is a more subtle and conservative version with more olive and green. I think they are different enough to justify owning both. Alchimie is definitely a must-have. The Chanel fall collection is starting to trickle in stores now. I spotted the items at my local Neimans and Nordstrom. It should be arriving at all Chanel counters and online soon. For now you can find it […]

The onset of spring should be a time of celebration as sunshine returns and everything is new and fresh again.  It has always perplexed me that spring makeup tends towards pale washed out hues, but Chanel has me all excited now with a whole new vivacious collection that is anything but ordinary.  The new Vision d’Asie: L’Art du Detail Spring 2019 Collection seeks to sculpt the facial contours with pearly luminescence, and contrast that with vivid hues on the eyes and lush matte lips. “The beauty of imperfection makes sense to me in terms of what I do – I want something that feels alive.” – Lucia Pica With this Spring 2019 collection, Chanel introduces a brand new product – the Baume Essentiel.  Designed to be used on the face, lips and eyes, the Baume Essentiel brings light to the high points of the face to provide a soft sculptural effect.  Inspired by her travels to Japan and South Korea, Lucia Pica has created a product that helps to add a dewy freshness to the complexion. The sleek tube fits snugly in my palm and is easy to carry around.  At the same time, it is a great size for […]
