It is a pleasure to introduce you to CHANEL’s Fall/Winter 2018 Collection!
APOTHEOSIS, LE MAT DE CHANEL
Having mined such rich territories as colour, deconstruction and artifice in her nine CHANEL beauty collections thus far, Lucia Pica, CHANEL Global Creative Makeup and Colour Designer, considers texture for the Fall/Winter 2018 Collection. Tapping the emotional depth and visual intensity offered by matte surfaces, the selection of eye and lip colours in APOTHEOSIS, LE MAT DE CHANEL evokes a uniquely feminine sensibility – one of inner quietude, serenity and self-possession.

As you know by now my favourite fragrances are by CHANEL. You can find the following CHANEL Products starting February 2nd on http://www.Chanel.ca or at CHANEL Beauty Counters. I adore CHANCE CHANEL EAU TENDRE Touch-up. It is a super cute compact with a soft rubber pad that you dab fragrance on your body. EAU TENDRE IS MY FAVE! I adore this because if you are at a party or public place with a lot of people you don’t have to spray fragrance everywhere. This is such a clever idea. You can dab it in the areas you want and it also has a mirror. It’s pink and adorable. I love it!

Thank you so much to AVON.CA and to CHANEL.CA for the amazing PR Samples.
I’m very excited to share CHANEL Blue Serum Eye with you. It’s an incredible eye serum that helps hydrate, even and firm the skin around the eye area. The skin around the eye area is very delicate and if you apply regular face cream it can actually be too heavy. I feel CHANEL Blue Serum Eye formula is very light and perfect for the delicate epidermis around the eyes. The formula is light and silky. Feels nice and soft on the skin. It does not have fragrance or sting my eyes. It is super gentle. Absorbs perfectly and is not greasy. The formula truly hydrates and really helps with evenness of my skin. It has also helped with my dark circles and puffiness around the eyes as well.
In 2017, CHANEL created BLUE SERUM, an intense revitalizing serum for lastingly younger looking, firmer and healthier skin. It concentrates three longevity ingredients consumed in regions of the world where people live better and longer.
AT A GLANCE Extremely fine, the skin around the eyes is more easily weekended and dehydrated. Skin that is 4x thinner than that of the rest of the body. 10,000 blinks per day. 22 muscles in perpetual movement.
EYES GO BLUE In 2018, the BLUE SERUM line expands with BLUE SERUM EYE, a care product specifically for the eye area, made for women in search of instantly fresh and luminous eyes with youthfulness that lasts. The eye contour is smoother, firmer, and more even. Formulated for the delicate eye contour area, it is composed of an anti-puffiness and anti-dark circle complex, which decongests and energizes the eyes.
INGREDIENTS Without compromising their respective qualities, each of the natural ingredients in BLUE SERUM EYE was carefully selected and transformed by CHANEL Research into a pure and powerful active ingredient, using specific, tailored extraction processes.
Green coffee PFA from Costa Rican green coffee: collected by hand, then sun-dried and extracted using PolyFractioning, it is renowned for its antioxidant properties.
Olive tree oleoactive from Sardinian olives: olive oil rich in essential fatty acids and olive leaf highly concentrated with polyphenols are combined by an oleo-eco-extraction technique to ensure a skin-protecting effect.
Lentisk gum extract from Greek lentisk: harvested by a local cooperative, the resin undergoes supercritical CO2 cold extraction to preserve its properties.

“I have chosen the person I wanted to be and am” – Gabrielle Chanel
I’m very honoured to be sharing and writing about the new Launch of Gabrielle CHANEL. This year the CHANEL HOUSE celebrates the year of Gabrielle. I’ve written a previous post if you like to have a look. Happy Birthday Gabrielle CHANEL! #GabrielleChanel #InsideChanel. Gabrielle Chanel was a rebellious spirit before she became “COCO CHANEL” the designer and with that Chanel is releasing a new feminine fragrance today. This is a big milestone for the House because they haven’t launched a new feminine fragrance in over 15 years. I’m very honoured to feature this magnificent and magical fragrance and also talk a little about the Legendary COCO CHANEL.
Gabrielle was a passionate woman that created her own path even though there were obstacles in the way. She was a woman in love and very passionate. Her name gave her strength to soar away from the difficulties of the 1920’s. She became a woman of fashion, cultivated and popular. She didn’t care about “disapproving eyes and self-righteous views of the time”.She didn’t wait for things to come to her. She went out and got them her self. She didn’t wait for Paris to come to her but she set out to conquer Paris with her hard work and bold character. She invented style and revolutionized fashion. She made beautiful luxury jewelry and fragrance. She introduced attitude and style that had yet to be seen and still today is comparable to none. What I love about Gabrielle “COCO-CHANEL” is that she feared nothing and let no door be closed to her. She is my inspiration and very iconic to not only me but women everywhere.
The New FILM!
For CHANEL, 2017 will always remain the year of Gabrielle. In tribute to the creator, 2017 has witnessed the birth of a namesake bag and, coming in September, the launch of a fragrance called GABRIELLE CHANEL. To incarnate the new scent, the House chose one of its ambassadors and friends: American actress Kristen Stewart. Her strong and determined personality, her career studded with bold artistic choices, and the life she leads with full freedom, made her the perfect fit for the role.
Directed by Ringan Ledwidge, the promotional film for the new fragrance GABRIELLE CHANEL stars Kristen Stewart extricating herself from the confines of a cocoon and breaking into a liberating run. She gathers her speed so she can crash through a wall to freedom and the promise of a new dawn on the other side. With sparse decor, meticulous lighting, and the song Runnin’ by Beyoncé, the film takes a bold new direction as it celebrates an extremely modern femininity built on confidence, determination, and independence.
“We deliberately took the opposite line from storytelling,” explains Thomas du Pré de Saint-Maur, Head of Global Creative Resources for CHANEL Fragrance & Beauty and Fine Watches & Jewelry. “We wanted to highlight an emotion that could be grasped in mere seconds, to tell a sensation as opposed to a story. Referring to a specific person, and even more so to Gabrielle Chanel, is new for CHANEL. Instead of retracing her life, we chose to put the spotlight on her free and rebel-at-heart personality. In my view, this quality is more difficult to find and yet all the more necessary today. Being yourself and remaining true to yourself are qualities that Gabrielle Chanel passed on to us, and this universal message—as relevant as ever—is what we wish to send to women. With Kristen Stewart and this film that breaks away from a narrative to retain only its spirit, we want to touch all women, but also each individual woman, simultaneously. No one will experience it in the same way; it depends on one’s perceptions, lived experiences, personality and emotions. With this film, we are going to reach out to each woman through all of womankind.”
Fully steeped in the philosophy of the House of CHANEL and its founder, this promotional film speaks of a race towards freedom, an endless battle against the diktats that tend to capture and cage women in. It is the beating of a heart, an energy that streams forth and overcomes all obstacles. It is a metaphor of life, both timeless and topical, diffused through a solar and luminous fragrance synonymous with passion, style and freedom.
The new GABRIELLE CHANEL promotional film will hit screens on September 1, 2017.
“Everything I do, I do with passion. There isn’t one thing that I undertake without telling my self that my entire life depends on this one specific thing.”
-Gabrielle Chanel
Gabrielle is really inspiring because she encourages us to follow who we’ve always wanted to become and always wanted to be deep down inside and never give up. She followed her intuitions and desires. In 1921 the rebellious spirit of Coco and her daring nature brought to life the famous renown CHANEL N 5. Over time each CHANEL fragrance was like a chapter of her story of love, friendship, a memory or a journey that marked her incredible life.
The new fragrance created by by Olivier Polge and the unique bottle design by Sylvie Legastelois really conveys Gabrielle’s personality. This fragrance is truly an ode to the CHANEL woman and all women, of all ages and all walks of life. “A demeanour, a way of walking, a style, a marked identity, a distinct character, passion, desire, rebellion.”
The fragrance created by perfumer Olivier Pole, in cooperation with the CHANEL Fragrance creation and development Laboratory, have used white corolla petals, ylang-ylang, jasmine and orange blossom, as well as a tough of tuberose now grown in Grasse. There is a lovely intensity of jasmine and musk notes which add a beautiful velvetiness to the ylang-ylang petals.
He accentuated the creaminess of tuberose with milky sandalwood. He boosted the freshness of orange blossom with mandarin peel, a zest of grapefruit and hint of blackcurrant. The fragrance really diffuses its luminous power like a floral halo. Gabriel Chanel is not just a fragrance “its a genuine revolution”.
The bottle is breathtaking! It is the essence of all CHANEL bottles. “It took months, even years, to develop such a thin-walled glass bottle. The square, with a shape that evokes the singular lines of the iconic CHANEL fragrances, is the result of innumerable technical feats. The ‘marloquette’-the slightly curved bottom inside fragrance bottles was pushed outward and then polished in the crystal glassworks of Bohemia. Viewed in profile, the wall of the glass coverage toward the centre of the bottle, where the square label-the same size as the one on the cap-is positioned so that every facet fully reflect the light.
Bordering betweengold and silver, the matte lame colour of the stopper, which is also used to adorn the case, is directly inspired by the Haute Couture fabrics preserved in the CHANEL Heritage department. A hue that also echoes the light-filled fragrance. And, mirroring the perfection of a jacket lining, the patented embossed interior of the case houses the bottle like a treasure chest, so that the bottle is removed from its case nestled in a perfect imprint of its silhouette. A way of celebrating true luxury and revealing the intense light concentrated in the beveled bottle.”
“Luxury is what you don’t see”- Gabrielle Chanel
GABRIELLE CHANEL “is not a fragrance that murmurs. It is the fragrance of a woman who chooses her own path. A rebellious heart that beats in every woman to reveal a unique identity. It brings out the natural aura and is not swayed by any external will.
Gabrielle, unbowed, refuses to give up or to accept fate.
Gabrielle, courageous, chooses to be like no one else.
Gabrielle, determined, forages her own destiny and personality.
Gabrielle, resolute, seeks fulfillment at all costs to win her freedom.
Gabrielle, passionate, is unwaveringly devoted to creating what will be tomorrow.
Gabrielle, ambitious, invites every woman to follow her own path…today as in the past.
GABRIELLE CHANEL fragrance invites women to have faith in who they are and what they are capable of achieving to find their own voice. For this self-esteem and confidence is precisely where their unshakeable strength takes root, a resolute ambition to accomplish oneself.”
To find inspiration for the Fall / Winter Makeup Collection, Lucia Pica – CHANEL Global Creative Makeup and Color Designer – embarked on a Californian road trip. Her idea was startling in its simplicity: to experience afresh the lights and colors of the outside world, creating a complete starting point for her creative process. From the dawn mists and sun- dappled coastline to the City Lights and gritty noir of downtown LA, Lucia Pica embraced the serendipitous creative possibilities afforded when the journey becomes the destination.
”You can be inspired by a photograph that already exists, but creating your own inspiration gives another dimension to the process – it gets much more exciting…” Lucia Pica
”I wanted to make my own mood board; to be inspired by what is happening in the moment,” says Lucia Pica. She captured fleeting, photographic moments to find fresh nuances for color and visual textures that could inform the Fall / Winter Collection.
”I’m so passionate about each color,” says Lucia Pica. ”I care so much and I think it’s important that vibrancy comes through.” Her eye for new and unexpected color combinations brings a new sense of poetry to the collection:
”the feeling was depth and freedom,” she says. For example, LES 4 OMBRES Road Movie eyeshadow palette, with its satiny green-blue of the sea, satiny copper, matte stone beige and dark blue-green with grey undertone, presented itself to Lucia Pica almost fully-formed: ”there was the sea, with the sun coming from one side to create this beautiful coppery gold, and then this lighter, brighter blue and a darker blue, and the pavement looked this beautiful beige…it was an obvious palette. It was just right in front of me;
I couldn’t escape.”
For nails, LE VERNIS HORIZON Line captures the pale, soft greenish grey of the sea on a cloudy day with almost watercolor perfection. Inspiration came from everywhere: the bark of a tree, tyre marks, headlights. The journey’s end was in downtown LA, where Lucia Pica spent the day. ”Enough nature and poetry – I was inspired by grittier locations, too.”
As befits the freedom of a road trip, effortlessness is key to the collection, too: Lucia Pica also introduces a long-time dream of hers; a PALETTE ESSENTIELLE containing three key products to offer a modern touch of natural polish in the form of creamy concealer, highlighter and blush used also for lip and cheeks. And a renewed focus on brows with new STYLO SOURCILS WATERPROOF eyebrow pencils offers a sophisticated way to frame and define the face.
CHANEL’s Fall / Winter Collection is about the memories, emotions and connections that color can inspire – an exercise in broadening horizons, in every exhilarating sense.
The centrepiece of the collection, the PALETTE ESSENTIELLE takes the idea of effortlessness in beauty and redefines it for modern women. Available in three shades Beige Clair, Beige Médium, Beige Intense, each palette offers a 3-in-1 of new products which come together in one sleek, handbag-friendly compact. Together, they combine to create a fresh, glowy complexion all day long with that essential touch of refinement and polish – something Lucia Pica describes as her ‘signature for skin.’ ”I wanted a product that could achieve that fresh skin look I do on shoots,” she says.
First, and the most generous of the three, is a concealer, ”to use where you need it,” says Lucia Pica. She chose to make this the largest so that you could use it both to start the day and for touch-ups throughout. Unlike many concealers, its feeling is one of comfort and sophistication: it has a creamy, balm- like texture, which glides comfortably over skin. Spherical particles blur imperfections and create a flattering, soft-focus effect.
Next, a highlighter: an essential offering of pure, radiant light. The gliding, creamy formula leaves a delicate touch of luminosity on skin; nothing too shimmering or obvious; the high concentration of pearlescent particles provide a modern way with which to play with light.
Finally, a moment of color. A melting, creamy blush created to bring a translucent flush of color to cheeks and lips, creating a fresh and healthy look to the complexion. Each palette contains a buildable blush specifically chosen to work with the corresponding skin tone, the beautiful final flourish to a new essential gesture for the complexion. If a road trip is a metaphor for the journey through life, then this is surely the essential travel companion. A new expert gesture, and the new must-have of the CHANEL complexion.
PALETTE ESSENTIELLE
Palette Essentielle $85.00
170 Beige Intense
160 Beige Medium
150 Beige Clair
And to complete the use of PALETTE ESSENTIELLE, CHANEL launches two elegant and essential brushes: The RETRACTABLE DUAL-TIP CONCEALER BRUSH, with a flat side at one end with which to pick up the concealer, and the soft tip at the other end with which to blend. The striking new RETRACTABLE DUAL-HEAD FACE BRUSH/BLUSH AND HIGHLIGHTER completes the collection: use the white side with the highlighter and the black side for the blusher.
Retractable Dual-Tip Concealer Brush $66.00
Retractable Dual-Head Face Brush/Blush And Highlighter (Not available in Canada)
The art of the unexpected; the energising jolt of taking a fresh look at familiar subjects. CHANEL presents Fall / Winter beauty as a new understanding of beauty and simplicity that very much celebrates duality. ”I am always trying to find the opposition – I think it’s something that is very CHANEL,” says Lucia Pica. So, for eyes, a darkness and intensity as enigmatic as the Californian ocean; for lips, the brightest pop colors that bring irreverence and energy. The smoky, spacey and skyward shades of the two LES 4 OMBRES eyeshadow palette CITY Lights and Road Movie are oxygenated by their outdoorsy inspiration, tones of deep water harmonising with shades of cool air.

$68.00
288 Road Movie
286 City Lights *Limited edition
And two OMBRE PREMIERE crème mono eyeshadows Urban and MEMORY exemplify the easiness of Lucia Pica’s road trip-inspired collection; each a shorthand for elegant eye make-up, like Urban, a deep petrol blue that seems to exemplify the very essence of a road trip.
MONO CREME EYESHADOWS
$40.00

Another effortless essential, and a hallmark of Lucia Pica’s own work: the perfect deep black eyeliner pen. SIGNATURE DE CHANEL is a new fluid, intense and smooth formula that glides effortlessly across the eyes for an intense, satiny-black line, and is both waterproof and smudge-proof.
Signature De Chanel
$45.00
Eyes are further intensified by an entirely new range of STYLO SOURCILS WATERPROOF eyebrow pencils in beautiful, natural-looking shades. A soft, buildable yet long-lasting formulation, the bevelled tip never needs sharpening, and offers a flat edge for a softer look and a pointed tip for definition, while a perfectly-shaped brush offers instant and essential brow grooming.
Available in the Colours
$38.00
806 Blond Tendre
808 Brun Clair
810 Brun Profond
812 Ebèbe
And so to the lips: Lucia Pica’s desire for this Fall / Winter collection was that ”bright pop colors” for lips would be a counterpoint to the intensity of the eyes. The color spectrum runs from nude beige through effervescent corals to burnished reds, but there is duality here too, as colors come in a variety of exquisite textures: for a nude look, choose from the matte liquid lip color of ROUGE ALLURE INK in Lost or the moist, creamy finish of ROUGE COCO in Daylight. For sunset shades, choose from either ROUGE ALLURE INK in the sweet orange Highway or the vivid coral of ROUGE COCO in Experimental.
Rouge Allure Ink Lost & Highway
$43.00
156 Lost 158 Highway
And there are reds, too: ROUGE ALLURE VELVET, that decadent, soft, rich matte lipstick, expands the theme of opposition as it gets reimagined for day and night: and First Light is a bright, poppy orange-red; and Nightfall is a dusky burned red.

Finally, nails are where the touch of irreverence in California’s beauty finds a home: LE VERNIS HORIZON Line is a soft greenish grey; LE VERNIS New Dawn is a muted taupe-grey.

576 Horizon Line *Limited Edition
578 New Dawn

LE LIFT
MASQUE DE NUIT RÉCUPÉRATEUR
SKIN-RECOVERY SLEEP MASK
Le Lift Skin-Recovery Sleep Mask / Masque De Nuit Récupérateur $145.00
At night, skin never sleeps! It works tirelessly and regenerates itself continuously as the cell renewal mechanism goes into overdrive. This is the optimal time to apply a night care product and offer skin targeted anti- aging effectiveness. This holds true not only for the face, but also the neck and décolleté: two very delicate areas that need special care due to their thin skin and the effects of gravity while the body is in a reclining position during sleep. This is why CHANEL has completed its expert firming anti- wrinkle line with LE LIFT Skin-Recovery Sleep Mask.
Le Lift Firming Soothing Lotion /Fermeté Lissage $90.00
Prelude to every woman’s beauty ritual, LE LIFT Lotion becomes indispensable. This moisturizing, smoothing and firming lotion balances the skin to preserve the integrity of its barrier function. Formulated with a “magnetic water” complex, it diffuses its active ingredients within the epidermis, notably the active ingredient 3.5-DA. The skin is hydrated and regains its suppleness and softness. It is ready to receive the skincare products applied afterwards.
Products that are not available in Canada are as follows: Stylo Sourcils Waterproof 802 Aubrun Stylo Sourcils Waterproof 804 Blond Doré Retractable Dual-Head Face Brush / Blush And Highlighter
