L’Été Papillon de Chanel, such a beautiful name for a makeup collection. This collection for Summer 2013 was inspired by the dazzling colors of butterflies, and I was immediately drawn to the electric shades of mascara, beautiful duochrome metallic nail polish and the platinum eyeshadow pen.
Chanel Le Vernis in Azuré, Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Lime Light and Aqua Blue,
and Stylo Eyeshadow in Moon River
The eyecatcher of the collection for me, is definitely the nail polish in color 531 Azuré. This is a metallic nail polish that shifts from blue to teal to green depending on how the light hits the color. It’s absolutely stunning, very bright and I love the metallic finish.
I also bought two of the mascaras: 37 Lime Light and 47 Aqua Blue. Lime Light is a bright mint green mascara, and Aqua Blue is a light blue mascara with a silvery shimmer in it. Both give off a lot of color, which actually left me very impressed. Colored mascaras usually tend to be a bit dull and hardly noticeable, but these two are very true to color when applied to your lashes.
The last item I purchased is the eyeshadow pen in color 07 Moon River, again a beautiful name that lured me in. Chanel describes this eyeshadow as delivering a shimmering veil of color, and that’s exactly what it does. It’s a semi sheer creamy eyeshadow which applies very easily, and the shimmery platinum color is very pretty.
