This year Chanel surprised us with a new collection launched called the Winter Glow Les Beiges collection. As a big fan of their Les Beiges collections, I was excited to see this with a wintery twist. The collection was released in early January online at Chanel.com and after playing with everything for a few weeks, I have a review today that includes:
Healthy Winter Glow Blush
There are three shades of it Les Beiges Healthy Winter Glow Blush. This is a limited edition powder blush in Les Beiges solid beige with an embossed snowflake on the powder surface. They are almost creamy in texture, like a cream in a powder, but have more of a powder-like performance. Each shade has impressive buildable pigment that spreads easily. They have a subtle shimmer and every shade has some shimmer in them.
Rose Polaire
Rose Polaire it is my favourite. It’s a baby pink pink that has a really stunning shimmer. I was worried it would be too pale to show up on my Chanel B40 medium skintone, but it looks beautiful for a pretty baby pink flush.

Coral Givre
Coral Givre it is a stunning coral with golden shimmer. It has a similar look to some of Chanel’s other peach blushes, but has a luminosity that brings life to the skin. The gold shimmer adds a beautiful glow – the shimmer and sparkles are more visible on the skin in this one.

Purple Glace
Purple Glace it’s a beautiful neutral-warm mauve. It looks cool in the pan but on my skin it pulls a little reddish leaning more towards a warmer mauve. I think this is a very pretty shade that will be great for spring.

Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette – COOL
Chanel launched a new Healthy Glow eyeshadow palette called Cool. As someone who rarely wears purple shadows I have to say it far exceeded my expectations. It has a soft shell pink satin, a medium hot satin pink, a shimmery warm mauve burgundy, a darker plum with gold flecks, and a shimmery lilac shimmery shimmery topper. The sparkle shade has almost a duo chrome quality and flashes blues, violets and pinks.
The texture is very soft and powdery, so there is some fallout when you apply, but it stays on the eyes without migrating. I think the light shimmer makes this palette stand out. The look on the eyes comes alive with the pop of violet/pink shimmers. The pigment is medium but buildable. I really like this palette! See it in action here.
Rouge Coco Baume
There are three new ones Rouge Coco Baumes. These are transparent tinted balms in an umbrella shape. If you’re new to them, they have a comfortable feel, no scent, and a clean mid-range color payoff.
Chilling Pink it’s a very sheer soft milky pink. It’s not visible on hand or hand, but on my lips I see a very pretty pure milky pink.
remain calm it has a nice 90s vibe. On my lips it’s very pale, almost like a taupe shade. I think it’s best when paired with a deeper or warmer liner on my lips. It pulls very cool tones.
Cocoon it is a pure berry color. It has a slight hint of shimmer, but it goes on more like a cream. It’s almost like a reddish bitten stain on my lips. It’s very pretty – it has warm undertones on me.
Le Vernis
The two Le Vernis shades are sheer, but they are very smooth sheer. Glaciale it is a pure milky white and Skyuse it’s a pure baby pink. I applied both with 3 coats on the swatches below. I have already purchased backup copies of both shades. I think they are very beautiful.
Healthy Winter Glow Primers
Lately I have some quick thoughts about the new Healthy Winter Glow Primers (available in 3 shades). These are very sheer shimmer primers that almost have a gel-like feel. On my skin when layered over moisturizer they felt tacky. The colors are really pretty, but they are very sheer and don’t give the skin much tint or shine. These are scented with perfume. I didn’t notice much of a difference in my foundation with these. I think so No. 1 de Chanel Skin Enhancers it’s better for my skin type. Below are swatches of Chanel highlighting liquids and La Base Illuminatrice. I didn’t look at the arm as they pretty much disappear once blended.
The top 3 stand outs from Les Beiges Winter Glow are: Rose Polaire, Chilling Pink and Cool eyeshadow palette. You can see them in action on this reel.
