Chantecaille, the luxury beauty brand for stellar skincare and cosmetics, has revealed their Holiday 2013 Color Collection! And, oh my, is it classic and sexy! The exquisite holiday offering begins with Chantecaille Diamonds Eyeshadow Trio ($60) that is a limited-edition palette capturing the perfect balance of holiday festivity in a sophisticated shimmer.
The Makeup Examiner has to admit that she’d never tried Chantecaille eyeshadows and tends to frown at shimmery products. But, the mother-daughter trio at Chantecaille has masterfully created a shadow palette that is bound to become this season’s go-to kit for any occasion. The Diamonds Eye Shadow Trio is formulated for buildable color that one can either apply dry for a demure pop of shimmer or go for full-tilt glam by applying the shadow dampened. Colors included in the holiday 2013 palette are: Champagne Diamond - a pearlescent platinum; Onyx Diamond - a shimmering charcoal; and Cognac Diamond - a glistening brown sugar.
Moving onto what is always the finishing touch for any look … the lips. Chantecaille offers for the holidays Long Lasting Lip Definer ($24) in a brand new shade “Desire,” which is presented in a water-resistant formula to help create the perfect long-lasting look. Rounding out the Chantecaille Holiday 2013 Collection are three versatile lipstick shades, one of which is new for the holiday season! Chantecaille lipsticks ($33) are incredibly creamy, highly pigmented for long lasting wear, and enriched with vitamins to keep our pretty pouts perfect throughout the holiday season. Chantecaille Holiday 2013 lipstick colors include; Agave – a pink nude and brand new for their Holiday 2013 Collection; Cerise – a beautiful berry red; and Cassia – a perfect oxblood red.
