CHANEL Announces the New Face of No.5 for 2009: Audrey Tautou.

CHANEL just sent out a press release with the news of the new face to star in the next No.5 advertising film.

Once again CHANEL has commissioned a director and his muse to write a new page in the love story between the cinema and No.5.

CHANEL has chosen Jean-Pierre Jeunet to direct the next No.5 advertising film, with the French actress Audrey Tautou starring in the leading role. Following the films "Amelie" and "The Long Engagement," this will be the third collaboration between Audrey Tautou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

I cannot wait to see it next year. 

CHANEL Summer 2008 Makeup Collection.

April cannot get here soon enough. Making me long for warmer days and a little bit of a golden glow (fake), are the Summer collections being announced. And this one is another beauty.

The CHANEL Summer 2008 Summer Collection is a definite must-have for the season. 

 

The heat-baked sands, golden browns, and beautiful sunset bronzes have me heading off somewhere tropical.

FACE: For a summer face based on the ultimate bronze, CHANEL offers the new SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL Moisturizing Bronzing Powder in five versatile shades, plus BRONZE UNIVERSEL DE CHANEL Sun Illuminator.

EYES: Complement this sun-kissed skin tone with OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Tigre (bronze), Nomade (pink rose), Khaki (khaki green), and Safari (stone brown); amp up the shine with LUMIÈRES FACETTES Iridescent Effects Eyes in Oasis, a quad containing khaki, bronze, coral, and pink shimmer, or OMBRE D’EAU Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Atoll (golden sand). For long-lasting definition, STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long-Lasting Eyeliner comes in an exotic new shade, Vert Bronze (green bronze), while INIMITABLE WATERPROOF Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel is now available in Emeraude, a shimmering, jade-green.

LIPS: For warm-weather lips, ROUGE HYDRABASE Creme Lipstick arrives in Leopard (golden coral) and Rose Flamingo (a flamingo pink); ROUGE ALLURE Luminous Satin Lip Colour keeps things soft with Naïve (pinkish nude) and Curious (nude brown). AQUALUMIÈRE Sheer Colour Lipshine SPF15 adds a sheer shot of colour in Zanzibar (soft peach) and Mauritius (bronzed coral).

NAILS: For a final touch, LE VERNIS Nail Colour arrives in Antilope, a frosted golden-brown, and Flamingo, a bright tropical pink.

Look for this beautiful collection next month at your favorite CHANEL counter, specialty store or online, of course, at chanel.com.

New from Chanel: Sublimage Serum.

One of the reasons Nicole Kidman and Marion Cotillard looked so beautiful at the Academy Awards might have had more to do than just the makeup, or the gorgeous looks.

CHANEL celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin who did their makeup for the big night says that she, loves to use Sublimage Serum to prep the face before she applies makeup.

 

 

"I always start the makeup process with an application of the Sublimage Serum. I feel it helps to create a smooth, silky and young overall look after I use the base. I usually wait about five minutes and let the serum saturate into the skin, before applying foundation."
 

Sublimage Serum is the latest addition to CHANEL's premier anti-aging cream.

When pairing the Essential Regenerating Concentrate, the lightweight, silky serum maximizes the all-around age-fighting benefits of the original cream. The perfect combination of both the serum and cream help to combat wrinkles, loss of firmness, dehydration, lack of radiance, and uneven pigmentation through CHANEL's exclusive Polyfractioning (PFA) technique.

Planifolia (extracted through this PFA process where ultra-pure ingredients are created) is the precious oil that comes from the powerful botanical fruit at the heart of Sublimage, which is now infused into the enriched Planifolia water, making for an even more powerful formula that delivers twice the concentration of the cream.

The 1 oz. airless pump full of this anti-aging wonder retails for $385.00. 

As I have never used anything from the CHANEL skincare line, this looks like it would be a great product to start with. I have read glowing reviews of the Sublimage Cream, so I am sure that this is a wonderful addition to the line.

Sublimage Serum just launched last month at Chanel.com, as well as speciality stores nationwide.
