Posted by Sophie on Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Ooh la laso romantic, so enchanting!  Chanel has come out with a Christmas 08 Makeup Collection.  The sheer golden veil with rose, copper, red, beige colors make this Holiday collection truly magical.



Dust the Gold Highlighting Powder on the face & décolleté for a luminous golden glow and put on a pearly Red Shine for kissable lips as shown on Natalia Vodianova.


Chanel N°5 Eau Première

Posted by Sophie on Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Chanel N°5 has been reincarnated into EAU PREMIÈRE. This fragrance will go on top of my current wish list! I recently tested a sample of this remarkable perfume Chanel N°5 Eau Première and it’s so addictive that I’ve been sniffing it like a loony. LOL! I’m in love!

I was never fond of the original Chanel N°5 which has been around since the early 20’s. The original version is too powdery and a bit overpowering for my liking. I don’t even like other Chanel fragrances - Coco, Chance or Allure. However, Eau Premiere is so special, it has all the good qualities of Chanel N°5 yet it’s more sheer, refreshing, seductive and incredibly sophisticated! It’s a lighter, youthful version of Chanel N°5… with a hint of sweet lemon? Definitely a year round perfume that you can wear daily.

I feel like such a stylish fashionista when I put it on. Be prepared for tons of compliments, it’s that good! The fragrance was originally introduced in late 2007 but was temporarily pulled back due to a “bottle problem” and now they are back. The 5oz bottle is available for $125 at department stores.

Here is a helpful fragrance Do’s & Don’ts from Chanel.
