Chanel Beauty summer is here with their Les Beiges Coastal Summer collection. I picked up a little bit of everything but couldn’t find the Les Beiges Summer Essentials basket before it sold out.
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette
I think my favorite piece from this collection is the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette in Soft ($77). It has an excellent neutrality with just a hint of color, definition and light. The pigment is on the soft side but I love the soft look! The texture is very soft.
Rouge Coco Flash
Rouge Coco Flash is my favorite lip formula from Chanel right now and the three new summer shades are super pigmented! New shades include Sweet (neutral, my favorite), Zesty (tomato red) and Fruity (plum). Based on your response to this preview post, most of you seem to love the purple shade!
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush + Highlighter
I love trying new complexion brightening products, especially the stuff from the Les Beiges line for that no-makeup-makeup kind of effortless glow. However I am undecided about Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush in Sorbet and Les Beiges Healthy Glow Highlighter in Summer Gleam ($56 each). I absolutely LOVE the concept and the colors but I found this difficult to apply and blend without wiping off my foundation.
There are 3 Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush shades (only one in this sold set) and 2 individual options. I chose Pink Sorbet which is a very pretty shimmery pink.
There is one Les Beiges Healthy Glow Highlighter in Summer Gleam which is a pale frosty shimmer. On me the color is pale so it looks almost white but in person you can see a subtle pink shift when the light hits it.
I love them when I just apply blush, or when I mix blush + highlighter on the back of my hand and apply to my face. The blending effort is too small for me, but I think the colors are amazing.
The new Le Vernis
There are two shades of Le Vernis and your response surprised me! Many of you love Garconne which is like my closest skin giving mannequin hands. I personally am not a fan but you girls love it! I think Baigneuse is a fun blue! I will try it on the toes for my next pedicure.
Les Beiges Serum Concealer
Another new launch is Les Beiges Serum Concealer ($53 each). This is not technically part of the Les Beiges color collection, but it is new for summer. I think this is one of the best glowing concealers I’ve ever tried. I tried both B30 and B40in action hereI prefer B30 to my BD41 Chanel skintone. Quick swatches next to the Chanel Ultra Le Teint Concealer and, the Ultra Le Teint shadesin action here. I’m still working on my concealer collection!
If you have your eye on anything everything I reviewed is out now at Chanel and all Chanel retailers like Nordstrom, Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s. The basket set seems to be sold out everywhere so if you manage to find one you are very lucky!
Did you pick something up from this collection? What did you think? Do I need to try Les Beiges mascara?
