Thanks for the tag, @Sunnysmom! I don’t think I’ll get anything from this collection but I do need to get more of my Chanel foundation soon. 

[Sunnysmom]

Figured you had seen it @curlychiquita but just in case! 😊 Which formula is your favorite? I keep wishing the tinted moisturizer would make an appearance again in some fashion. Didn’t they redo it or maybe it just went away.

Thx you @Mochapj @Sunnysmom . Not sure about the blush duos. And what’s up with Chanel keeps releasing new thing every month. Ugh PS I might try out the eye sticks or pencils or whatever they called 😂🤣 The colors do look fun

[Titian06]

@blackkitty2014 - Steady income?  Gotta keep the lights on! 🤣

[blackkitty2014]

Hahaha. They think I’m their cow @Titian06  Sorry Chanel not working (well partial working) 😂🤣

[Sunnysmom]

That was funny @Titian06 ! Does anything interest you with this batch?! 

[Titian06]

@Sunnysmom - Nothing's caught my fancy.  I am looking forward to swatches...you never know. 😁

[Sunnysmom]

You never know @Titian06 …! 🤣 😊

[Sunnysmom]

Yup it’s so interesting @blackkitty2014 . Not sure either. 

[Mochapj]

@TraceyEB I like the eye sticks but I agree there doesn’t really seem like much of a unifying theme beyond ‘easy summer products’ by using lots of stick applications 🤷🏽‍♀️

[CookieGirl1]

@Mochapj the colors of the eye sticks look pretty!

Les Beiges Healthy Glow Primer in Frosty White is available at Macy's. I find it similar in effect to the La Base Illuminatrice Glowing Primer in the regular line.

[TraceyEB]

My initial picks from Chanel's new releases: Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sun-Kissed Powders in Deep Mauve and Medium Rose Gold, Ombre Essentielle shadows in Jade Facetté and Rose Charnel, and Noir Allure mascara in Orange Bruni.

I am loving the Les Beiges Deep Mauve palette. The pigmentation level is extreme, so I apply the bronzer and highlighter shades together using a fluffy brush and a very light hand to reproduce the sunburnt colouring my skin gets in the summer. I can get away with adding the blush shade very lightly high on the cheekbones (see below). I could use the bronzer to add a slight cheek contour but very carefully and high on the cheekbone as the shade alone can look dirty against my light complexion. I like the Medium Rose Gold palette, too, though the effect is more subtle, giving hints of colour on the face. Swirling all the shades together gives too much of a golden tone on me, so I apply the shades individually. Both palettes will get lots of love from me!  Now to play with the eyeshadows. They were soft in appearance when swatching and Rose Charnel needed to be built up to capture the shade. The new mascara shade Orange Bruni is giving me Fall vibes. I plan to wear it on the lash tips over brown mascara.

Oh everything looks beautiful on you @TraceyEB . ❤️🌹 So tempting on Deep Mauve but I shouldn’t 

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014, thank you for the beautiful compliment! 😘

[Winthrop44]

@TraceyEB Oh everything looks so beautiful on you!  Great choices. I ordered Light Coral but late in the game  and haven’t received it yet. What are you pairing Jade Facette with? 

[TraceyEB]

@Winthrop44, I often pair it with a light brown eyeshadow (cool or warm) or my bronzer. My favourite pairings so far are Bobbi Brown's Taupe cream shadow stick, browns in Chanel's L'Eclat de Nuit and Clair Obscur, Charlotte Tilbury's cream eyeshadow in Jean (champagne), Bobbi Brown's cream eyeshadow in Shore (a cool beige), or the eyeshadow shades on the left side of Bobbi Brown's Camo palette or the highlighter in the center. I also like lining the eyes with Bobbi Brown's Forest cream eyeshadow stick. If I want to bring down the vibrancy, I'll apply it over Tom Ford's Fleur de Neige cream eyeshadow (works especially well with CT's Pop Shot in Emerald Eyes). 

How do you like the Les Beiges Sun-Kissed palette in Light Coral?

[Winthrop44]

@TraceyEB  Wow!  Thanks for all those suggestions. I like Light Coral but I'm not sure how much it likes me. It's really too much fragrance for my rosacea. 😞

[TraceyEB]

@Winthrop44, I'm so sorry to hear that the fragrance is irritating to your rosacea! These compacts are more fragrant than the Les Beiges XL bronzer and Healthy Glow powder that I have. I wonder if its in the blush and highlighter powders. Once, I was about to toss the boxes for my Chanel blushes but they collectively left the air so fragrant, I knew it would bother my spouse's allergies, so I packed them back up in their boxes.

[Winthrop44]

@TraceyEB  Thanks. Good to know about the other products. I can definitely relate to your spouse with the blushes too. I know they are a fragrance house but does anyone really want so much on their face? Oh well.

[curlychiquita]

These are beautiful products, @TraceyEB, and the Deep Mauve looks gorgeous on you!
