I have several feelings about this.

One, it doesn't feel like CHANEL.

Two, it doesn't feel like a spring collection, but a summer one (feels like a trend these past years).

Three, it's bordering on garish and I say bordering and not straight because I'm questioning if it's my problem. It's like they felt offended about the 'too much red' accusations and decided to throw all the 2018 pantone colours into it. I usually like colour but this is a bit...

Four, that I'll be getting that green eyeshadow and mint nails if they come here.

It is a bit "Summer-y".
I do tend to ignore Spring pastels and I like the greens and the polishes and lipsticks but the white and red of the lip duos aren't as pleasing alongside everything else.

I did. I really love it. Smells amazing and leaves a pretty sheen on the skin. The bottle is huge which is a plus

Ever figure out the mystery lion?

 

[elegant-one]

The peche blush is really pretty on. It's much paler & peachier than T's swatch but you can make it more pink/coral by using the large pink flower, but it's still more on the peach side. I did see some small scant shimmer, but didn't really see it on my face. The texture is nice too.

Darn, it's SO! Boo

I am so trying to resist it! would it layer nicely with n5 premiere or l'eau ? what do you think?

Still no clue

I think it would be better with eau premiere. Although you may not need to layer it with anything as I thought the scent was pretty strong although not in a bad way. If that makes sense

I agree. It's much lighter than I thought it would be. Still a very pretty color and it applies so nicely. I don't know how T got it to apply so dark on her face - she must have really layered it.

I agree! Unless swatches wow me, I’m probably skipping this collection entirely. Nothing is drawing me in. I do not love the current creative direction of Chanel Beauty.

That said, I absolutely ADORE my No. 4 rouge allure that I tossed in with the lion. It is SO pretty, comfortable, and wearable! I’m glad I snatched one of those cute red cases after all.
