Chanel Evergreen Palette without flash
Every summer a few of the big makeup lines release limited edition makeup kits and palettes exclusively for Nordstrom stores. They’re called Nordstrom Beauty Exclusives, and I just got wind of some new ones from Chanel.
Chanel Evergreen Palette with flash
Here’s the Evergreen eye and lip palette ($45). It’s a six-pan palette with two eyeshadows (shimmery sea foam green and shimmery mint green) and four lip glosses (shimmery pink, shimmery bronze, shimmery rose and shimmery peach).
Buying the six items together like this means a huge savings, too, as most Chanel palettes cost at least $85.
Three cheers for Chanel! 🙂
Chanel Muscat Glossimer
Also on the horizon: shimmery, peachy beige Muscat Glossimer ($27).
Swatch of Muscat Glossimer
It was previously released overseas but wasn’t readily available in the US until now. You may be able to track down international products by contacting Nordstrom’s Chanel Makeup Studio on Oahu, which carries select products meant for sale overseas (click here to see a lip swatch of the shade).
I love the way Muscat Glossimer looks paired with smokey eyes…
And we may also see two new nail polishes.
I’m told that Rouge Noir ($23), a creamy blood red, resembles Chanel’s iconic Vamp shade but without the shimmer, and Rose Des Vents ($23) is a soft, rosy pearl.
Chanel’s Beauty Exclusives land July 17, but they’re available for pre-order right now.
Note: I heard a rumor that the Evergreen palette may not be around for long (*extremely* limited edition), so if you’re lusting after it, you should probably call or visit your Nordie’s Chanel counter soon.
Do any of these strike your fancy? 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

June 15th, 2009 at 4:40 pmUh YES something caught my fancy! That Muscat Glossimer looks GORGEOUS.
Do you think it’s a shade that would suit a lot of different complexions?

Yah, I think so. I like it because it’s pink enough to add some punch but not overly beigey. Do you think you might try it? Oh — it also looks good with MAC Pink Treat lip liner layered underneath.

June 15th, 2009 at 7:01 pmHi Karen. They are gorgeous, as all Chanel products are! I like the look of the palette but I’m always lazy to use lip palettes. Can you swatch the palette and the nail polishes?
Karen says
June 16th, 2009 at 1:48 pmHi Miss QQ,
Sure — it will be a few days until I can make it to the mall, but I’ll get swatches up soon!

June 15th, 2009 at 7:33 pmHey Karen!!
The Muscat glossimer looks so pretty, I want….! 🙂
Karen says
June 16th, 2009 at 1:49 pmHi Merylynmagic,
It’s a super pretty color! Do you have MAC Sublime Culture lip liner? It pairs perfectly with it.
Vonvon says
June 15th, 2009 at 10:23 pmThe Evergreen palette is gorgeous and I am a sucker for palettes. Wonder if they’ll have it here and how much it would cost…we hardly get any discounts on cosmetics, lest from brands like Chanel, which is normally super over-priced!

June 16th, 2009 at 1:49 pmHi Vonvon,
It’s a Nordstrom exlusive so chances are you probably won’t get it overseas… I’m pretty sure you can call Nordie’s and have them ship internationally, but it’ll cost and arm and a leg.
Alison says
June 16th, 2009 at 2:07 amDon’t you have rouge noir in the US? It’s always available here in the UK, it’s very vampy colour I like it. I haven’t seen rose des vents though, could you possibly do a swatch if you have time? Thanks Karen!
Karen says
June 16th, 2009 at 1:50 pmHi Alison,
Sure, I’ll be able to do that — probably later on in the week! 🙂
Glosslizard says
June 16th, 2009 at 7:33 amOh drooooool! New Chanel is one of my favorite things! I can’t wait for that palette!
Karen says
June 16th, 2009 at 1:50 pmHi Glosslizard,
LOL! It shall be yours soon. I am still undecided — when I got home I realized that the greens kinda remind me of Garden Party, but we’ll see once I’m able to swatch it.
cloudburst says
June 16th, 2009 at 7:50 amOoohhh I want that glossimer!
Karen says
June 16th, 2009 at 1:51 pmHi Cloudburst,
It’s really pretty and looks good with smokey eyes. BTW, thanks for your Chanel sleuthing efforts on the polish!
cloudburst says
June 16th, 2009 at 7:53 amAlison – I was thinking the same thing, so I did some research & it turns out the original Vamp (circa 1994) is the same colour as Rouge Noir (from Chanel Paris), but recently Chanel USA released Vamp again this time it’s got shimmer & is slightly lighter. We in Canada get Chanel Pair sproducts, not Chanel USA stuff.

June 16th, 2009 at 2:09 pmHi Tali,
How are you? Did you enjoy LA?
Tali says
June 16th, 2009 at 2:41 pmNooo not so much. It was nice but not exactly what I expected. For starters it rained!! :(.. Its nothing like the movies!
But I did enjoy Sephora. Victoria’s Secret and all the cupcakes i found everywhere 🙂 A little too much!

June 16th, 2009 at 4:53 pmHi Tali,
BOO to the rain! The weather’s been pretty crappy up here in Northern California, too, so I’m not surprised it was yucky there. Well, maybe when you come back you’ll get the classic sunny L.A. If you’re ever in the SF Bay Area I hope we get to meet someday!
Tali says
June 16th, 2009 at 2:43 pmI also want to say a huge thank you for the post you made on your birthday. It really was touching and made me think a lot. Even though it was YOUR special day you were so reflective.. i was thinking about what you said about appreciating life for days after that!
Hope your birthday was all you expected and hope you were treated like a princess!

I’m glad you liked that post and that it got you thinking and reflecting, too. 🙂
Big hugs to you…

June 16th, 2009 at 4:54 pmGood for Chanel and Karl for throwing the “masses” a bone. I am wondering if those glosses are on the sheer side. I do not like sheer colors because my lips are too pigmented and then you have to reapply the color constantly. I bought a beautiful Chanel lip palette some years ago which I still have and it is called Velours de Chanel. There are four lip matte full coverage lip colors which are just gorgeous. So I am holding on to my money for the present. Plus I had been bad and bought two of the Galaxy lip glosses in May. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Chanel fall colors. Do you know anything about them yet??? Louise
