The Chanel Beauty Holiday Collection is a nod to a timeless classic
Chanel Beauty unveils not one, but two holiday collections for the festive season
By Margaux Levy -
If there's one thing we love about the holidays — besides revelling in an abundance of festive activities and indulging in the barrage of Christmas food — it would have to be the flurry of new holiday beauty collections that brands, like Chanel, have in store for us. This year, Chanel making things a little extra by bringing not one, but two exclusive holiday collections to the table, alongside reinterpretations of its timeless classics.
For fans of Coco Chanel’s iconic N˚5, a gift from the Chanel N˚5 Holiday 2020 collection is the perfect beauty treat with its range of bathroom essentials that possess the perfume’s signature clean, abstract scent.
And if you’re wanting to add a dose of sparkle to your beauty look, the enchanting Les Chaines d’Or de Chanel – dreamed up by in-house global makeup and colour designer Lucia Pica – will do the trick.
Inspired by Mademoiselle Chanel’s symbolic use of pearlescent golden chains, Pica has beautifully incorporated that elegant motif into its packaging while the makeup palette comes with glamorous warm, gold-infused hues that echo the illuminating qualities of the well-loved necklace. (Think: eyeshadows and lipsticks with platinum or coppery shimmers and a gorgeous antique gold nail polish that’ll help you ace your holiday manicure too, to name a few.)
Below, we draw up our wish list.
Start off your Chanel beauty ritual for the holidays by lathering up with the N°5 Shower Gel that’ll leave your skin lightly scented and feeling velvety soft due to its creamy, foaming texture.
Enriched with rose and jasmine, the N°5 Body Lotion is said to provide to nourish skin with a hydrating veil that’ll last for up to eight hours.
Up your skincare regime with the N°5 body cream that is not just scented with the famous perfume but will keep your skin soft and moisturised for eight hours.
Feel fresh on the go with a spritz of this deodorant that is comforting upon use and is accented with subtle, fresh notes which nicely complement the floral bouquet of the original N°5 scent.
A light application of this hair mist will leave your locks looking and feeling tip-top due to its blend of the N°5 together with a new active ingredient derived from rose and jasmine that’ll make your hair soft and shiny.
Dress your eyes up this season with Chanel’s limited-edition Ombre Premiere powder. Available in an array of four colours (Antique, Blanc, Cuivre Rose, and Cuir Brun), the choice is yours on whether you’d like to go for a single shade or want to opt for a smokey eye look by mixing and matching the shadows of your choice.
Chanel’s Rouge Allure lipstick will bring the right amount of intensity and sophistication to your look with its array of four deep, radiant, and satiny colours to choose from.
Specially created for the collection, Chanel’s Les Chaines De Chanel blush is embossed with a chain motif. While a sweep of the blush powder will give the cheeks a rosy flush, it also provides a glowy finish due to its inherent golden radiance.
