Chanel Fall Collection 2012

Here at Pixiwoo we are always excited to take a peek at the Chanel new season collection.
Chanel have launched a collection that has all the typical autumnal colours you would expect to see but have also dropped a few surprise pieces in there that still feel influenced by summer.

This illuminating powder has the look of summer with its radiant peach and gold stripes but the embossed glitter sequins remind me of a winter/christmas collection.

The colours blend together to give the skin a satin healthy glow.The tiny silvery glitter particles do look very pretty on the skin but they are only superficial so once you have wiped the top layer off then the glitter is gone. I actually prefer it without the glitter so this is not a problem for me.

 The illuminating powder is £46.00

 There is a choice of eye shadows in palette form or individual at £22.00. The individuals come in a gorgeous single compact with sponge applicator. The four pastel shades are sheer but buildable with a wet look finish. The black shadow is a semi matte that blends easily.

 The quad palette is £37.00 and I personally feel I have seen before. Although the textures and colours  have a good payoff and blend nicely, it's originality didn't jump out at me.

The lipstick line comes in two formulations of rouge coco in a frosted plum called Caractere or for those who prefer a sheer glossy lipstick Rouge Coco Shine in the colour Chic which is a transparent fleshy nude and Parfait a gold laced pink. All lipsticks are £24.00

I adore the long wearing glosses in this collection (£25.00). The case feels weighty and super luxurious. The two colours are, Troublant, a violet plum and Caprice a soft pink. The texture is creamy and slick with a mirror like shine.

If you prefer your gloss more muted then you may prefer the sparkly sweet beige gloss (£21.00) on the right of the gloss picture.

Chanel nail colour (£18.00) never fails to be anything other than elegant (although not always as long lasting) and this fall I cant choose which of the lilac, black or intense pink I want on my nails. I may have to paint them alternate colours!
