Chanel Beige Pur 659, Precious Beige 661 and Lovely Beige 663, Les Beiges 2015, Collaboration Saturday

In this Collaboration Saturday together with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel, I have the Chanel Les Beiges summer 2015 collection, or rather the only 3 released here in Denmark (possibly in Europe). I’ll show the Chanel Beige Rosé 655 that I get from USA when it arrives.

Nudes aren't really for me, but here we go anyhow...!

Beige Pur 659:

Chanel Beige Pur 659 is the lightest of these three, a cream, and it’s actually a perfect match with my skin tone - EVEN IF BLOGGER  seriously messes with my skin color in this post - arrrghhh. Two coats would be enough for normal use, but I added an extra because of my ridges. The finish is beautiful and shiny so I didn’t add a top coat.

Precious Beige 661:

Chanel Precious Beige 661 is a bit darker (also a bit darker than the photos show) and it has a light rose hue and a subtle silver shimmer. It’s not really ideal with my fair skin, but also not terrible. Two coats would be enough for normal use, but I added an extra because of my ridges. The finish is beautiful and shiny so I didn’t add a top coat.

Lovely Beige 663:

Chanel Lovely Beige 663 is a really dark nude cream, it makes me think of chocolate milk. It’s very opaque in one coat, but this is two without a top coat.

Conclusion: Nudes aren’t really me, and I almost gave the entire collection a miss. But I’m such a push-over - and after all it would feel wrong to have all other released collections going back quite a few years except for this one.

If I weren’t a collector I probably wouldn’t have bought any of them, but now that I do have them, I’m quite pleased that I do!

Do you like them - and do you see any favorites...?

NOW, lets see what Elena has for us today!!

Dior Bonheur 661 swatches - Collaboration Saturday

It that time of the week, the Saturday thing - you know Collaboration Saturday together with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel - and a very special one too: HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Elena! And what better way to celebrate it than:
Dior Bonheur 661 is a bright, fun and girly blue toned pow-wow pink cream, this is a pick-me-up shade ladies and gents! This is two easy coats without a top coat. 

NOTE: As usual Blogger makes my pink colors a bit more vivid than they are in person...
So, do you like this bold pink?
I wonder what the birthday-girl Elena has for us today...?
