The mother and daughters’ team of Sylvie, Olivia and Alex Chantecaille, the brains behind Chantecaille Cosmetics, have again married luxury with social responsibility in the brand’s Spring 2014 Save the Bees Collection offering. The Collection brings the freshness of spring in soft, yet color-drenched hues and offers support to The Xerces Society. Chantecaille’s Spring 2014 line also includes Lip Chic, Brilliant Gloss, and 24 Hour Waterproof Liner in on-trend colors.
Chantecaille’s Spring 2014 look channels both the runway trends and the healthy freshness of nature in the spring. The look is soft, natural and glowing. The complexion is clean and radiant with a flush of flattering coral on the cheeks while eyes are softly illuminated by warm washes of golden honeys anchored by stormy grays. A delicate touch of clear-sky blue sharpens the focus on the eyes and plays against a burst of bold juicy color on the lips for a youthful look that is both sophisticated and refreshing.
The refillable Save the Bees Collection Palette ($83 with 5% of proceeds donated to The Xerces Society) includes:
- Sky – (New Shade) An eye-opening, delicate pale blue sheen that instantly brightens the eye area
- Honey - A glistening golden highlighter that adds a soft touch of radiance to both cheeks and eyes
- Beehive – (New Shade) A versatile and flattering grey beige that can be intensified when applied wet
- Nectar - A warm coral pink blush that delivers a cheerful pop of color to all skin tones
- Primrose – a youthful pink rose
- Wild Rose – a sheer and sophisticated fuchsia
Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss ($33) is enhanced with antioxidant-rich green tea. The ultra hydrating formula protects and soothes lips while delivering long-lasting color and brilliant shine. Brilliant Gloss Spring 2014 shades include:
- Pretty – a glistening strawberry pink
Chantecaille 24-Hour Waterproof Liner ($26) is an innovative formula with waterproof pigments that deliver up to 24 hours of smudge-proof definition and lash thickening effects. The luxuriously creamy texture blends easily right after application then quickly dries leaving eyes expertly defined and contoured for up to 24 hours in rain, shine, or humidity. 24-Hour Waterproof Liner Spring 2014 shades include:
- Storm – a thundercloud gray
As with all Chantecaille products, the Spring 2014 Collection is cruelty-free and paraben-free, petrochemical-free, without lanolin and animal or mineral derivatives. The Chantecaille Spring Color Collection is available at Chantecaille and select retail locations.
