This month CHANEL reveals the latest addition to their Hydramax + Active collection: HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin and HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Lip Care.

These new offerings are formulated to help retain skin’s moisture and restore the naturally occurring dynamics of skin hydration. HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin combines the immediate nourishing and protective benefits of shea butter with the deeper continuous action of rosemary liposomes. HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Lip Care is a highly efficacious lip treatment, specifically formulated for intensely parched lips.

I adore the HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE line for the refreshing scent and light texture of the formulas, especially as the weather begins to warm up.

HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin and HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Lip Care are available beginning this month at department and specialty stores and online at chanel.com.

First seen at the CHANEL Spring/Summer 2010 RTW runway show, CHANEL has now introduced the limited edition Les Trompe L’Oeil de CHANEL Temporary Skin Art.

In other words: TATTOOS, my friends!!

Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, says, “For the show, I wanted to play with the Chanel symbols; pearls, chains and wheat, as well as blossoms and small swallows that announce the arrival of spring. I focused on a natural makeup look with chic beige tones and a slight tough of rebellion: the tattoos!”

Bree and I, along with two of her friends, applied the tattoos last night before heading out to dinner for Bree’s 18th birthday celebration.

While the teenagers all selected swallows for their body art, I chose the CHANEL logo (shown above.) What do you think?!

Les Trompe L’Oeil de CHANEL Temporary Skin Art ($75 for a package of five sheets, includes 55 total designs) will be available for a limited time exclusively at CHANEL boutiques and makeup studios and online at chanel.com.

Leave it to CHANEL to transform their cult-fave Sublimage cream into a  smooth, silky formula that boasts a “chiffon-like feel” and a mattifying effect that’s still super luxe.

At $295 for 1.7 oz., the luxury doesn’t come cheap, but it’s worth every glorious drop.

Chanel Sublimage Essential Regenerating Fluid is available from Saks Fifth Avenue.

I still haven’t gotten around to sniffing the original, but I am absolutely dying to give CHANEL Cristalle Eau Verte Spray a whirl. With notes of magnolia, fresh citrus and Neroli, it sounds absolutely up my alley!

Chanel Cristalle Eau Verte Spray is available from Nordstrom for $105.
