In this Collaboration Saturday with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel I have the entire Chanel Rêverie Parisienne spring 2015 collection: Tenderly 641, Désirio 643 and Paradisio 645, the first Chanel collection this year.
Tenderly 641:
Chanel Tenderly 641 is a mushroom cream with a hint of mauve. It’s easy to work with, and I show it in 2 coats without a top coat.
Paradisio 645:
Chanel Paradiso 645 is a super pale mint with a subtle shimmer. The finish is pearlescent and prone to brushstrokes, and the dry time is slower than normal, so I must confess I’m disappointed with this one. You see it in 2 coats without a top coat, so at least it’s not sheer.
Remember that even if there are brush strokes this photo is extremely sharp and super enlarged, so it's not THIS bad in person!
And last but not least my favorite Désirio 643:
Chanel Désiro 643 is a gorgeous magenta red with a super subtle pink and blue shimmer – I love it. It is super opaque in one coat, but this is 2 easy coats without a top coat.
My conclusion is: Tenderly is very elegant even if it isn't my kind of shade, Paradiso could have been pretty with a different finish and Désiro is just gorgeous, I love it!

Now, let's see what Elena has for us today, shall we?
Desirio - great one. 2nd place goes to the first Chanel and the third to the second one. The mushroom with mauve is a nice combo!
SvarSletThat's also how I feel about them :)
SletNice collection. I like Desirio on you, but on its own Tenderly is my favourite.
SvarSletI'm happy to hear that as I love Desiro - Tenderly is going to have a lot of fans I'm sure!
SletI can't wait to receive mine - except Paradiso of course. Hopefully next week they'll arrive.
SvarSletKind regards,
Elena
I'm sure you will like them :)
SletI have them too..Desirio is so gorgeous, Tenderly is my love but Paradiso is very disappointing!
SvarSletHappy Saturday my dear <3
Yes I know, I have been drooling over your swatches LOL
SletI agree, Paradiso is a disappointment!
A happy Sunday to you dear Karo!
I agree with you. And I think Tenderly has a very interesting color.
SvarSletIt is interesting and pretty unique!
Sletwe haven't seen any chanel for some time now, but i don't mind ;)
SvarSlettenderly looks awesome :D
I'm glad you like it :)
SletThe first two are nice but the Desiro is perfection!
SvarSletYou are so right about Desiro - it's very desirable ;)
SletI like the last two. I must confess I want Paradisio but not so sure now. Desirio is amazing :-) They are released on Friday over here - so I might just get one or two ;-)
SvarSletIf you have the chance to test it in the shop, you could do that, and then decide!
SletI'm sure you will love Desiro :)
I always have my nails painted so I usually test on my husband's nails ;-) I will need to test it to see what I think - I'm sure he'll love it ;-) LOL :-D
SletLOL - what a good idea. I normally bring swatch sticks ;)
SletEl paradiso es tan diferente y original...
SvarSletYou are right - but still I'm let down by the brush strokes...
SletMy favourite here is Chanel Tenderly 641 :-)
SvarSletI was kind of guessing you might prefer that one :)
Sleti can't believe i'm saying this, but i'm going to pass on this collection
SvarSletLOL - if I hadn't been a collector I might have said that too - but I probably would have bought Desiro <3
SletMy conclusion perfectly match yours :D
SvarSletI'm pleased to hear that :)
