Terre D’Or Joins the Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzer Family for Summer 2010

by 16 Comments

Even small deserts are hawt. 🙂 This one’s a light matte brown with a touch of golden glitter, and it goes by the name of Terre D’Or!

Aren’t those rolling sand dunes on top of the pan hawt? Terre D’Or is one of two (Terre Halee is the other one) new limited edition Soleil Tan de Chanel bronzers ($50 each), and if the sandy pattern looks familiar, that’s because the bronzers are already part of the company’s permanent line. The two new LE shades arrive in May as part of Chanel’s summer collection.

I spent quality time with Terre D’Or this week, which is the lighter of the two, and it just might be a little too light to use as a bronzer on my NC35 skin. It does leave behind a lovely whisper of golden glitter on my skin, but very little color comes through, and I’m beginning to think it functions better as a glittery highlighter for ladies with medium to dark skin. Lighter-skinned babes, on the other hand, get a very pretty, traditional bronzer, one for contouring and adding a warm, healthy sun-kissed glow.

5 Days of Chanel Rouge Coco: Take Me to 31 Rue Cambon

by 43 Comments

Paris seems light years away from my computer screen in California, but La Ville-Lumiere gets a oui bit closer with Chanel Rouge Coco in Cambon 31 ($30) on my lips.

Named after Coco’s Paris apartment at 31 Rue Cambon, this creamy pinkish red exudes the confident elegance of an impeccably cut Chanel tweed suit.

My closet may never meet a real suit crafted by Karl and Co., but Cambon makes me feel like the lights of Paris are right outside.

A spritz of my favorite Chanel perfume, Coco Mademoiselle ($95), and I slip into my favorite black dress (belted shift from H&M, $35)…

I can almost hear Coco whisper in my ear, “Oui, oui.”

5 Days of Chanel Rouge Coco: Have You Heard This Legende?

by 78 Comments

I like to think of myself as the girl next door (the one with the cat), but Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in Legende 11 ($30) makes my inner diva want to storm the gates!

I guess that’s why I whipped out the fan today (LOL!), broke out the bling and worked the hair a la Mariah. 🙂

Legende’s cool, creamy pink outright aches for a red carpet to strut (sporting five-inch heels and a Karl Lagerfeld haute couture gown, fo’ sho’).

But she’s not averse to daylight affairs, either, like lunch dates with eye looks in blues and pinks.

5 Days of Chanel Rouge Coco: There’s Something About Perle

by 84 Comments

Momma always said, “You can’t go wrong with pearls.” Okay, well, maybe she didn’t say that, but I totally think she should’ve because I loves me some pearls. 🙂

Classic, timeless, and they go with practically everything — kinda like Chanel’s new Rouge Coco lipstick ($30) in Perle 02.

She’s not as outgoing as her sister, La Pausa, but Perle’s soft glow still earns her lots of looks.

5 Days of Chanel Rouge Coco: Hot Summer Fun with La Pausa

by 98 Comments

Pack your bags, ladies! It’s time for some fun in the sun. 🙂 Bring your sexiest summer dress, a swimsuit and sandals because today’s virtual vacay begins with Chanel’s Rouge Coco lipstick in La Pausa 08.

A sexy, summery coral with a hint of golden shimmer (same smooth texture as Mademoiselle), she enjoys chilling at beach bars and relaxing on the sand beneath an umbrella with a fruity drink.

I can see us now…

“Girl, is that Ryan Reynolds?”

“Hawt damn, I think he’s shirtless…”

5 Days of Chanel Rouge Coco: Bonjour, Mademoiselle!

by 111 Comments

With Rouge Coco, Chanel begins a new chapter in their storied book of makeup and beauty. The new flagship lipsticks launch this week, 🙂 and to herald their arrival I’m planning some looks that feature colors from the collection.

Fo’ sheezy, I fell in love the moment I saw today’s color, Mademoiselle 05, aka the creamy, rosy pink Vanessa Paradis (Johnny Depp’s baby mama) wears in the Chanel Rouge Coco ads.

Mademoiselle’s hydrating formula glides across my lips, leaving them soft AND moisturized.

Oh, and the pigmentation?

5 Fun Facts about the New Chanel Rouge Coco Lipsticks

by 45 Comments

1. The secret signature

The distinctive Chanel logo on the top of each Rouge Coco lipstick is easy to spot, but there’s also a hidden engraved double C logo inside each cap.


Meet five the 30 lovely Rouge Coco ladies (from left to right): Cambon 31, Legende 11, La Pausa 08, Mademoiselle 05, Perle 02

2. There’s a reason Chanel Rouge Coco tubes feel cool to the touch

Chanel Global Director of Makeup Peter Philips and his team revamped the shape and material used to house the new lipsticks, choosing metal cases that would cool down quickly…

For more info on the Rouge Coco line check out:

Why? Because they want women reaching into their purses for their lipstick to get a fresh sensation when they wrap their fingers around a Rouge Coco tube. 🙂

The Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colors Are Movin’ On Up!

by 27 Comments

Hold on to your pearls and tweed jackets, ladies, because Chanel did us a solid. They bumped up the release date of their (soon to be our) new Rouge Coco lipsticks from March to February 25.

I was cruising the Nordstrom beauty department yesterday when a Chanel artist handed me a card with the new date. 🙂

The counter had a few samples of the new line’s 30 hydrating lipsticks, so, of course, I had to stick around and play…
