| Ombrees Perlees de Chanel |
This is one of Chanel's strongest collections to date because the colours are so perfect for all tones. In particular, Ombres Perlees De Chanel palette is exquisite - the shades are so pearlescent but with no chunks of glitter and produce the most beautiful sheen. Blanc Perle, Rose Porcelaine, Violine Clair, Gris Vert and Gris Noir and blur together gorgeously for a smoky look. I've swatched the shades so you can see just how the sheen is. It's £39, which I don't think is too bad for Chanel.

| Le Crayon Yeux Gris Scintillant |
Also on the swatch is Le Crayon Yeux in Gris Scintillant, which I'd say is probably the least impressive as its a colour that is easy to dupe from elsewhere and therefore avoid the £16.50 lay out.

The glosses too are delicious, although a little high on sparkle for my taste, and nails are fab in Pearl Drop, Black Pearl and Peche Nacree - my favourite being Peche Nacree. You have to hand it to Peter Philips, Global Creative Director, for always finding a relevant reference to Coco Chanel herself. This collection is inspired by her love of pearls.

I want, no sorry NEED that in my life!
Great post, thank you. Can't wait to get my hands on Black Pearl nail polish.
Now I'm seriously tempted for this collection but I must ask a few questions. How does the Ombres Perlees compare to other Chanel eyeshadows in formulation? Was it smooth or chalky? Difficult to blend or to stay on?
One of the things that has steered me away from Chanel for so long is I've heard and seen highly differing opinion when it came to Chanel's eyeshadows.
I definitely want the palette and possibly the quint, some of the lipsticks and the red lipgloss.
I think I might finally use my Boots points for that palette! It's gorgeous!
Love it! When will it be for sale?
I love Chanel make up, it is so decadent :-)
Wow, they are looking a bit frosty in the pics. Are they this frosty or is that the lighting?
Thanks for the swatches.
Whoaaaa those Chanel polishes look so pretty! Cannot wait to get my hands on these!
