Les Beige de Chanel

I love to get dolled up on occasion as much as the next girl, but day-to-day I’m quite low maintenance.

That’s why Chanel’s Les Beiges collection is right up my street. Think natural complexions highlighted with just a subtle hint of peachy glow on the cheeks and lips.

As usual, the packaging is superb and the ultimate all-natural girl, Gisele Bundchen, fronts the campaign. The whole thing is just simple, understated and achingly chic.

There are 13 products in total, 5 of which are limited editions.

Healthy Glow Sheer Powder SPF15 in 25, R750.00

Healthy Glow Limited Edition Multi-Colour Marinière in 01 and 02, R855 each

Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Stick Blush in 20, 21 and 22, R605

Healthy Glow Limited Editon Hydrating Lip Balm in 10, R505 and Lèvres Scintillantes in Rose Tendre and Beige Star, R420 each

Le Vernis in Limited Edition Beige Rose and Lovely Beige as well as main collection Beige Pur and Precious Beige, R355 each.

My favourite product is the Healthy Glow Limited Edition Multi-Colour Marinière in 01. It adds a fresh glow to my skin that makes me look far more awake than I usually am. The peach tone evens out any imperfections and the pink adds a natural flush. The texture is super fine, so settles on the skin without being cakey.
