I don't usually do a review/first impression on an entire collection because usually I only like one or two things in the whole entire collection. However, this time I actually like everything in the collection. Ok, so here is the 2013 Chanel Summer Collection:
 |
| Inimitable waterproof mascara (blue note, noir, aqua blue, lime light, and zest) |
 |
| Le Vernis nail polish (azure, bel-argus, lilis) |
 |
| les 4 ombres (metamorphose) and stylo yeux waterproof eyeliner (true blue) |
 |
Levres scintillantes (eden, envolee, zephyr) and Rouge coco shine (pygmalion and idylle) |
 |
| Stylo Eyeshadow (black stream, moon river, pink lagoon, blue bay, jade shore, cool gold)
1. Inimitable waterproof mascara
I love the color of these mascaras, they are very bright and bold. I think It is perfect for summer time. From all the color selection I got blue note since I've been wanting to try color mascara and I thought that color will be the most subtle. The mascara is very pigmented, I suggest you to use a black mascara first and use your favorite color at the tip (works for upper and lower lash). I haven't have any smearing with this mascara but I haven't try swimming with it lol So, it is waterproof as far as daily use ;)
2. Le Vernis nail polish
Don't you love the color of these nail polishes? Anyway, I can't do a review on these polish because I don't have any of them, but I will do my first impression when I play with them at the store. My favorite color of the three will be bel-argus (blue is my favorite color); would I actually wear the color? maybe not, I think I lean more towards Lilis for everyday wear. I think chanel has an awesome nail polish and the color is very unique. These polish are the same quality of their other polish and they are very opaque. I'm still thinking weather I would want to get one; if I get one should I get the bold Bel-argus or the beautiful Lilis?
3. Les 4 ombres in Metamorphose
I gotta say that I really love chanel's eyeshadows. They are very pigmented and awesome formula (easy to blend; even with your finger). This palette is no less and has great colors. I didn't get this palette because I already have something similar to it. However, if you don't have any thing like this, you should consider in picking up one ;)
4. Stylo yeux eyeliner
I have to say this eyeliner is my least liked from the whole entire collection. The reason for that is for a $30 eyeliner I expect more from it, however this eyeliner is comparable to Urban Decay 24/7 and NYX waterproof eyeliner for much lesser price tag. The color is pretty and it does what is say it does (waterproof after it dries= less smudging); but why pay a higher price tag when there is another that does the same thing and as good. I guess I'm very reluctant to splurge on eyeliner.
5. Levres scintillantes
My favorite of the three have to be envolee. I usually go for a pink lipgloss; in this case eden, but I found that envolee peach color is very beautiful and refreshing. I really like the color on my skin tone and this lip gloss last a bit longer than your usual lip gloss in my opinion. The down side is if you don't like sticky lipgloss, you might not like these lipgloss as much.
6. Rouge coco shine
This is another thing picked up. The lipstick is very moisturizing and it has some shine to it. The color that I plan to pick up is pygmalion. I guess that goes with my usual pink lip color ;) The color is very pretty and look very flattering with my light medium skin tone.
7. Stylo eyeshadow
I really like these eyeshadows. The stick form makes it convenient and won't take up as much room in your make-up bag. The formula is great as well, it has a cooling effect as you put it on, it blends very well; though you have to do it quickly because after it sets in, it's very hard to blend. It has enough shine and it just looks gorgeous. I actually went into the pool with these eyeshadow and they truly are waterproof. My eyeshadow still looks amazing after 1.5hrs in the pool and I did go underwater with it. I have the color moon river, black stream, cool gold, jade shore and blue bay.
If you guys haven't gone to the store and check them out, you should. I know their products are very pricey, so If I can only pick up one item I would choose one of the stylo eyeshadows. The reason is there is not a lot of good eyeshadow stick in the market. Stylo eyeshadow is blendable, waterproof and long lasting. I'm saying is that you get what you pay for.
