Collection Libre Synthetic De Chanel

Excited to get my hands on some makeup from the incredibly fantastic 1st COLLECTION LIBRE developed by Lucia Pica – Synthetic de Chanel, inspired by cityscapes and urban materials, a contrasting palette of textures, colours and lights. Glass, metal and rubber transform into unusual shades and textures, while natural pink, coral and red hues add a fresh and cheerful touch. A perfect collection for Christmas, here is a close up look at the products I received by Chanel India.

The translucent pink LE VERNIS Longwear Hyperrose Glass recreates the effect of glass and neon lights. Applied in a duo with LE GEL COAT, it offers impeccable hold and extreme shine.

The exclusive creation, ARCHITECTONIC, is an eyeshadow palette inspired by urban colours for architectural eyes. Its harmony of five shades, from matte blue to mirror grey, promises both intensity and luminosity. Alternating matte and satiny finishes, colours pay homage to urban materials. As soon as they are applied, the matte shades make a fascinating and magnetic colour impact, while the satiny shades ensure a shimmering metallic effect. Completely innovative, the hybrid texture is both a powder and a cream. Rich and melt-away, it glides on with a double-tip applicator: a foam tip to apply colour and a brush to blend shades. This Exclusive Creation offers two applications. for the fi rst, the lightest shadows are used as a base or below the brow bone to light up the eyes, while the darkest shadows are applied to the outer corner of the eye or on the eyelid to structure and intensify the makeup result. for the second, two or three shadows are blended together and applied in a halo on the eyelid.

I’m also loving their new fragrance No 5 L’Eau. N°5 L’EAU is not a cologne. Nor is it a diluted version of the original fragrance for, at CHANEL, each variation is a genuine olfactory creation. N°5 L’EAU is the N°5 of today. A composition under the banner of modernity, with freshness as its leitmotif.
Its iconic silhouette is embossed in the textured cardboard case. A beveled glass shape whose contours alone convey the House of CHANEL and modern perfumery as a whole. Here, the bottle has left its mark on the paper in a play of shadow and light that hints at its form. No lines are needed to highlight its presence. A single label indicates its name. The bottle appears with all the crystal clearness of pure water. No component of the stopper, no mechanism, no essence spoils this limpid impression. Here again, simplicity prevails. This minimalism is not a stylistic device. It is merely a supreme form of elegance that gives free rein to the imagination of the woman who chooses this fragrance for her skin.

Absolutely unique, LE VERNIS VELVET Pink Rubber is a limited-edition nail polish inspired by rubber for a matte effect. With its synthetic finish and candy pink colour, it accentuates your look in an original way. Its powder-enriched formula leaves a velvety matte layer on the nail surface.
