Chanel has released two limited edition makeup sets called the Chanel Makeup Takeaways. These sets have been created by two different makeup artists Cécile Paravina and Valentina Li in collaboration with the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio. They are fun and exciting each packaged in a collector’s box and both come with a case.
I picked up Escape to nature ($195) which features pink and coral shades. There is also another set called The City Break ($190). I’m taking a look at the peach set today.
The Nature Getaway includes:
- Rouge Coco Flash in Bisous
- Le Liner de Chanel in Heart Beat
- Ombre Essentielle in Rose in Hand
- Baume Essentiel in Morning Dew
- Coral pouch
My favorite item in the set is the Rouge Coco Flash in Bissus. It’s a sheer yet bright coral with a hint of pink. I love the color and finish. The pigmentation is very good for this formula which tends to be on the sheer side. I wish they made this part of the permanent line. It’s fresh and bright but not too bright.
There are two eye products in the set. I’m not one to wear colorful eyeliners, so I didn’t expect to like them Le Liner de Chanel in heart beat. I tried it on myself and immediately felt the need to add my usual brown/black shadow on top. I have added a swatch but I am not wearing it in the photos below. It’s fun and different, I just can’t do anything. I would love this shade in a gloss shape or nail color.
Ombre Essentiellm in Rose in hand it’s a peachy coral base with iridescent flecks of shimmer. If you apply with a fluffy brush, you will get a softer peach. I applied with a dense brush over a primer and primers pick up a lot more pigment for a darker peachy orange finish. You can see the glitter once on the lids but it’s not glittery. I think this would also make a beautiful shade of blush.
There is a new one Baume Essentiel in the called set Morning dew. It looks peachy coral in the tube but on my skin it’s almost clear with a light pink sheen. It’s not essential in my opinion as it’s so sheer and has a similar effect to the other baume essentiel sticks, but it’s still very pretty on the lips.
I wear it too Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation in BD41 and Le Vernis at Premiere Dame on the nails.
Overall beautiful, fun and fresh. Available now at Chanel.com.
