Chanel was the first high-end cosmetics brand that I ever tried, starting with a tube of Rouge Coco in Perlé. It was the first lipstick I ever tried that smelled really nice, went on smoothly, and had a shade that was subtle but still really pretty. From that first shade, I went on to buy two shades from the Rouge Coco Shine line (Boy and Antigone) and one from the Rouge Allure Velvet line (La Distinguée). I love all of them, and I don’t really feel all that bad spending on Chanel lipsticks because I know that I will get the quality that I expect.
With all of that said, I missed out on their Holiday 2012 collection. I was eyeing the Harmonie du Soir quad, but I had already gotten myself a pretty similar, though not exactly the same, quad—Guerlain’s Turandot. The upcoming Spring 2013 collection and Les Delices 2013 one have got my heart all a-flutter, however, so I’m sharing the pictures I found with you.

You can read more about the collection on Chic Profile, which is where I also got the images and collection information from. (See also: more info.)
I’m eyeing the lipsticks (maybe Envoutante or L’Ecletante), one of the eyeliners, and maybe the blush!

Chanel Les Delices 2013: Les 4 Ombres
Can you say pretty? Ah, I can’t wait to see this in person! Although, it does look a little bit like the quad I am eyeing from the Guerlain Spring 2013 collection. Yikes!

Chanel Les Delices 2013: Illusion d’Ombre Eyeshadow
This seems like a perfect eye base to me.

Chanel Les Delices 2013: Aqualumiere Gloss
For this round, I’m only super interested in the quad. The lipsticks are pretty, but they seem way too similar to the ones I already have.
I think I want La Favorite! And the blush! Should start saving up immediately haha since I’m going to get Perles du Paradis, too.
See, I wanted both of the Rouge Allure Velvet lipsticks, but if I stuck to one, I would get the other one. I think those are worth saving up for. I’m drawn to the blush, too! 🙂
Style Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner in Beryl looks so sweet and perfect for lower lash line!! Rouge Allure Velvet Lipsticks are also screaming for me! thanks for sharing!
I actually have my eye on Santal! 🙂 I really want the lipsticks ❤
Very curious about the rouge allures! They look lovely! First time I’ve seen this 🙂
Right? I’m so excited to see them! 🙂
Beryl is very very similar to NYX Lavender jumbo pencil 😉
Ack, thanks for the heads up!
