Chanel's Les Naturels De Chanel Collection: "Luxury is intrinsically bound to simplicity"-quote from Chanel
This is a collection comprised of neutral makeup shades ranging from mattes to subtle shimmers. The collection is simple, classic and wearable. Very Chanel worthy.
The eye shadows are sheer perfection. Lily is a matte whispery pink. Lotus is a beige shimmer. Both shades give a brightening effect on the lid. I am already loving Lotus as a solo shade for the lids. It is more frost-like than a standard shimmer. One swipe and my eyes look polished and elegant. It is simple and genius at the same time.
Slate is a matte gray taupe while Mahogany is a rich matte brown that smokes out brilliantly. Lily and Slate are limited edition and available only in the US.
The blush is called Orchid Rose. It is a more nude based pink. It does not go muddy or dirty on the face. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted with the effect. Nude themed blushes have not been a success for me. This blush is heavy on the rose fragrance and only carries a slight shimmer.
The glossimers come in three shades. Waterlily is a shimmer pink.
Bel Air is a peachy pink. Both of these shades are limited edition.
I tested the glossimer called Unity. It is a soft rosy brown.
These are the 4 shades of the Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer. The shades in order are Beige Clair, Beige Ivorie, Beige Petale and Beige Santal. My best match is the Biege Clair. Beige Petale has this lovely pink cast to it. It is a gel based formula that is creamy with full coverage. It is surprisingly not thick or paste-like. These will retail for $40 and will be available in May 2009 at your local Chanel counter.

I believe this is the first time I've seen swatches on your blog?!? Yippee!!!! Also, is the concealor for undereye use do you think?
This looks like a gorgeous collection! Thank you for the swatches! :D
Thanks for the pics! Do you think you could compare Unity to Sarong? Just from the pic it seems that Unity is touch more pink, and just as pigmented. I love Sarong and just wondering if I needed Unity as well...
Annie - have you seen the new Chanel No 5 movie?? It's gorgeous!! It made me very excited for my upcoming Europe trip in November!
The blush is lovely and I'm loving the swatches :) The thing is I really dislike the concealer I tried from them.

What is up with Chanel lately? I have been a Chanel-aholic for more years than I care to admit. All of these (with the possible exception of the concealer) are re-issues. I already have many of the colors here. In fact, I just used Unity Glossimer yesterday.
Please don't misunderstand, I love, love, love, my Chanel. And they have come out with some fabulous new colors.
But it's frustrating to see items listed as "new" when they're already in my collection!
Like the gold powder a few months back, was an exact replica of "El Dorado." The District Manager told me I shouldn't be using such "old" product. Sorry, but I just don't have an extra $65 to spend on something I already have that will most likely last my lifetime.
I had such high hopes with their new creative director, unfortunately, for me, it's been such a disappointment.
Thanks for allowing me to vent!
Hi Annie,
Do you know when this collection will be released?
