Blossoming of Spring by Chanel

 It was love at first sight when I saw the Chanel's Blossoming of Spring makeup collection at Holt Renfrew in Toronto. The colour palette of the collection are all pastel colours in pinks, light blue, light green, taupe and deep purple to illuminate the eyes and the face. Even the nail polish collection are in spring colours including yellow and fuchsia. I just want to purchase the whole collection to be instyle for spring. Just seeing the collection makes me so excited and gives me a refreshing feeling for spring. 

 

This whole collection was inspired by the colours of the city of Naples in Italy.

Chanel Spring Makeup Collection

I was invited this weekend for a Chanel Manicure and Makeup Event at Holt Renfrew Department Store here in Toronto. It was to introduce their Chanel Spring Makeup Collection. This was special because it included a complimentary Manicure and Makeup. Of course, we ladies will not turn down an invitation like that. It was a great opportunity for me to unplug and spend some time of pampering for myself with the luxury and beautiful collection of Chanel Cosmetics. It was also a fun time to chat with the expert and friendly Chanel Cosmetics staff at Holts.

Chanel Knightsbridge Collection.
Chanel Spring Makeup Limited Edition was dedicated to the fashionable  Knightsbridge area in London. The 3 lipsticks belonging to the Rouge Allure line are called Kensington(Fuchsia), Hyde Park (Coral) and Belgravia(Golden Pink and Silver Facets).  The Poudree Tissee is called Brompton Road. The Poudre Tissee can both be used as a Blush or an Eye Shadow. Then the Lip Glossimer is called Chelsea.

The three colours for Spring are in front: Le Vernis Chanel - May (Pink), April (Red/Brown facets) and June (light coral).

Here are the samples on my nails. I am trying to decide which one to put on.

I decided instead on another colour which is called Orange Fizz. Tried something different!

The Final outcome! I loved it!

Thank you to Nagris who filed, buffed and completed the whole Manicure at Chanel. She even shared with me some history about Coco Chanel and the beginning of Cosmetics for  women. Apparently, it was Coco Chanel who started the Makeup industry in the 1920s by developing her own make-up line. Of course, Coco Chanel also started the Perfume industry for women by concocting the World Famous Chanel No. 5 Parfum.  Nagris explained to me that Chanel is the first point of reference for Colour in the Makeup Industry.  No wonder Peter Philips, the British Creative Director of Chanel Make-up is one of the most influential in the Cosmetic Industry.
