I was having breakfast with my friend Marisol this morning when she whipped out this vintage Chanel Coromandels de Chanel palette (fall 2005!). I kid you not, I nearly choked on my Nutella croissant. Even with most of the original design worn off it’s still beautiful.
The CHANEL Fall Collection was inspired by the rich materials, flamboyant colours and decorative style of the Far East. The CHANEL face is wearing new COROMANDELS DE CHANEL on eyes and cheeks, and Shanghai Red Creme Lipstick.

Karen-I have that palette, unopened! I do not have the heart to use it!
If I am reading this correctly, I could use the orange on my cheeks. Interesting…
I think i am going to try to use the colors like we talked about. I will definitely let you know.

I love this palette! Was it that long ago? I use only one side of it to preserve the pattern imprinted on the top on the other side. It came with a cool little round sponge applicator, which I have misplaced…
