Chanel’s Fall collection is called Venise de Chanel inspired by Mademoiselle’s fascination with the romance and drama of Venice.   Chanel gives us beauty with a punch of color in the new eye palette called Murano.   But some of my favorite pieces to the line are the blush and lips.

This blush shade called Peche Caresse is a soft creamy peach shade with just  slight light reflecting particles to hide imperfections and give you a flush of glow. 

This would be a beautiful shade on fair to medium skin.  I think it may be too pale of a shade for darker skin.

Now this eye palette called Murano has a soft pink and  3 various shades of green.   Here we go – green/teal must really be the hot color for fall!   Personally, this palette didn’t excite me as much as others have.  I just visualized it as being on someone fair like me and it did not say, “you have pretty eyes” but “that’s a pretty green shade you have on”.   For someone over 40 especially,  your shades should enhance your features – not the shades wear you.

The Glossimer Lip Glosses have 2 new additions to the line with Arlequin a nude gold and Courtisane, a red pink.

And of course the ever FABULOUS nail laquers by Chanel.  The newest additions are Intermezzo – a pearly white, and Gondola a maroon shimmer.
