Chanel Summer 2008 Collection

Chanel Summer 2008 Makeup Collection has quietly arrived at counters in the US for a while. It is probably one of the few summer makeup collections that has made its US debut earlier than other cosmetics brands.

The Chanel website is finally updated with information of its Summer 2008 Makeup Collection! The collection is hued with pinks, sands, browns, bronzes and khakis. As a loyal fan of Chanel cosmetics, I have already tested out the summer collection at the counter up close and personal.

The collection includes:

LUMIÈRES FACETTES Iridescent Effects Eyes

OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Soft Touch Eyeshadow


OMBRE D'EAU Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow


SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL Moisturizing Bronzing Powder

BRONZE UNIVERSEL DE CHANEL Sun Illuminator

ROUGE HYDRABASE Creme Lipstick

ROUGE ALLURE Luminous Satin Lip Colour

AQUALUMIÈRE Sheer Colour Lipshine SPF 15

INIMITABLE WATERPROOF Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel

LE VERNIS Nail Colour

Unlike the cool blue tones of Spring 2008 Makeup Collection, Chanel Summer 2008 Makeup Collection is bronzy and warm. The star product, LUMIÈRES FACETTES Eyeshadow quad, with a combination of khaki, bronze, coral and pink shimmer is quite unique in terms of color. For me, Nail Colour in Antilope (frosted golden brown) is the most impressive piece from this collection.

The post of my first impression of this collection will be coming up soon. Stay tuned!
