Luck Be A Lady: Chanel Introduces Las Vegas de Chanel

Anyone who has been to Las Vegas will tell you that town is not low on glitz or luxury. Between the neon lights and desert sand, the town is always painted in gold. The Bellagio Hotel is renovating the Chanel boutique in its Galleria and to commemorate this event, Peter Philips has created “gold-plated collection and strews stardust over polyester dreams.”

Las Vegas de Chanel includes four items: Lucky Stripes, a compact with four shades of sand and bronze to be worn on eyes, face or cheekbones; Rouge Coco Shine in Brilliant, a sheer golden lip shade; Le Crayon Lèvres Vegas Gold, a gold lip pencil; and it wouldn’t be a collection without a covetable Le Vernis in Gold Fingers.

The remodel should be completed by the end of this month. I’ll actually be staying at The Bellagio mid-February when I go to some trades hows in Las Vegas and I will definitely check out the new space. And I hope to get my fingers on Gold Fingers!

Chanel “Les Harmonies de Printemps” Spring 2012 Makeup Collection Swatches

Back in November I posted about the Chanel “Les Harmonies de Printemps” Spring 2012 Makeup Collection. Last week I received more info from Chanel about the collection as well as the Swatches.

From the break of dawn to the descent of twilight, skies reveal an enchanting array of hues with the arrival of Spring. Inspired by this brilliant seasonal change, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, infused glowing, sunlit colour into the Spring 2012 Makeup Collection, HARMONIE DE PRINTEMPS. Subtle gradations of rose, coral and peach sculpt the face, giving it a soft radiance, while rich garnets and vivid pinks dress the lips.
BLUSH HORIZON DE CHANEL GLOWING BLUSH HARMONY
In one elegant compact, five pink and peach tones mimic the luminous hues of sunset. This unique powder blush lends itself to multiple effects: blended together, the harmony is ideal for sculpting and accentuating the natural contours of the face. Using just the pink shades creates a fresh, youthful flush, while on their own, the peach tones produce a warm, sun-bronzed glow. $58.00 Limited Edition

The Chanel “Les Harmonies de Printemps” Spring 2012 Makeup Collection is available for sale online now in the U.S. – get those limited edition nail colours before they sell out!

Chanel Métiers D’Art Paris-Bombay 2012 Beauty

Chanel Metiers DArt Paris Bombay 2012 Beauty Bombay Express

Peter Philips created another gorgeous makeup collection to compliment Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Métiers D’Art Paris-Bombay 2012 presentation. The ubiquitous kohl-rimmed eyes so popular in the South East was reinterpreted for the runway and were the main focus on the face. Lips and cheeks were kept minimal and natural and all of the emphasis was on the very dark eyes.

Several limited edition products were created for the “Bombay Express” collection including POUDRE COMPACTE in Route des Indes de CHANEL, ILLUSION D’OMBRE Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Nirvana, JOUES CONTRASTE Powder Blush in Brume d’Or, ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Empreinte and LE VERNIS Nail Colour in Diwali. I am most excited about Illusion d’Ombre in Nirvana and Le Vernis in Diwali. Based on the glimpses we saw on the runway, I’m guessing that Nirvana will be black – though I’m wondering how different it will be to Mirifique. Diwali or the “festival of lights” is one of the most joyous celebrations in India. Based on the runway images Le Vernis Diwali looks goldish-luminiscent and based on the name I can imagine the color was inspired by lights. The Exclusive Creation Collection Chanel ‘Bombay Express’ will be available in select Chanel makeup counters in June 2012.

Here are the details from Chanel on the products used to create the look:

I Told You So!

A few weeks ago I posted a Dior video that showed a pinball machine game animation and I likened it to Chanel’s “Here Comes the Beauty Pack” video that brought Chanel cosmetics to robotic life. I know it was a bit of a stretch but for me Dior’s video was reminiscent of Chanel’s video – especially when looked at in the context of all the other copying that has been happening.

One of La Chanelphile’s readers, Alexandre Fons, brought this Dior video to my attention. The video was uploaded about a month ago and depicts a Dior cosmetics animation in the form of Tetris, Pacman and Super Mario Brothers. Sorry, but there’s no arguing your way around this one Dior – so unoriginal! Thank you Alexandre for bringing this to my attention!

Dior Is Killing Me

I’ve been particularly grumpy this week. Not sure why, just in an irritable mood for no particular reason. So please take this post with a grain of salt…but have you seen the new Dior video on Nowness? The focal point is PEARLS. Yes, pearls, the white round precious objects that are pretty much synonymous with Coco Chanel. Not only that, but this video also seems like Dior’s answer to Peter Philips’ brilliant Here Comes the Beauty Pack.

Back when Christian Dior came out Coco Chanel was irritated by him and now it appears, the legacy continues. Who knows, maybe it’s just me and my grumpy mood…what do you think? See for yourself…

Peter Philips’ Cure for Tired Eyes

Peter Philips is a makeup genius so whatever he says works for tired-looking eyes, I want to try. Allure Magazine caught up with Peter Philips backstage at fashion week to find out what product he can’t live without and it’s the Chanel Le Crayon Kohl in Clair. He lines the inner rim of models’ eye with the beige pencil and this trick is the secret to all of his runway looks.

“Beige liner takes out any redness the girls might have. When use you do this with white liner, it just looks too much like makeup, and too noticeable—this is more natural.”

I have to agree about the white eyeliner – I tried it a few years back and it was too obvious looking. I definitely going to try the beige pencil trick. Do you have any tricks up your sleeves?
