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.

Bobbi Brown Summer 2009: Illuminating Bronze Collection

shimmerbrick-for-body

Yesterday on QVC, I tuned in to see Bobbi Brown (in person!) talk about a new product I’m swooning over: Shimmer Brick for BODY. Genius!

This is such a luxurious indulgence ($160 for both the Shimmer Brick for Body and the All Over Body Brush) but something that every beauty-product-addicted girl should have. With three shimmering bars of color in a deluxe oversized compact you can create head-to-toe glamour with a sweep of a brush.

The new Shimmer Brick for Body and the All Over Body Brush are part of the new Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronze Collection for Summer 2009.
