Symphonie Blanche de Chanel

chanel-symphonie-blanche-de-chanel

Peter Philips, global creative makeup director for CHANEL, created the “ultimate nude” for the CHANEL Spring/Summer 2009 Haute Couture fashion show and now he’s created an entire collection to capture the same spirit: Symphonie Blanche de CHANEL.

In this collection is a highlighting powder called Fle ur Celeste (which means “flowers of the sky”) that has been embossed with white flowers over a soft pink and beige powder. This can be used on the face and décolleté.

Also in this collection is a new Quadra Eye Shadow called White Whisper. This eye shadow quad includes a dark silver eye shadow and three various colors of pigment over a white base tone: silver pink, pearly white and light gold.

And let’s not forget the Blanc Petal Le Vernis Nail Colour that I showed you last week.

CHANEL Symphonie Blanche de Chanel is available for a limited time exclusively at CHANEL boutiques, CHANEL Makeup Studios, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and online at CHANEL.com.

Smashbox Eye Light Waterproof Eye Highlighter and Brush

smashbox-eye-highlighter
I spotted this Smashbox Eye Light Waterproof Eye Highlighter and Brush #34 on QVC’s website this morning and was instantly intrigued – this liner isn’t navy, black, brown or gray – it’s LIGHT!

Upon further examination, I realized it’s that way for a reason; this pearlescent pot is meant to impart eyes with a bright, white quality, in a subtler, more ethereal way than sporting white liner on the inner rims of your eyes.

Better yet, it comes with one of my all-time favorite brushes, so you really can’t go wrong. Why didn’t someone think of this sooner?

Smashbox Eye Light Waterproof Eye Highlighter and Brush #34 is available from QVC for $38.

DuWop Mattilume Mattifying Luminizing Powder and Brush

duwop mattilume
I have no shortage of luminizers and mattifiers in my product arsenal, but I just can’t say I have one product that promises to do both.

I often find that mattifiers leave my skin looking too flat; I almost always need to add a pop of shimmer over my newly matte skin to add a bit of depth and dewiness.

This DuWop Mattilume Mattifying Luminizing Powder and Brush may be the solution, as it eliminates shine without stripping your face of its glow. Definitely on my list of multitaskers to check out!

DuWop Mattilume Mattifying Luminizing Powder and Brush is available from QVC for $38.
