Chanel 2015 Holiday Collection

On Friday I received a phone call from the V&A Waterfront Chanel counter in Edgars to let me know that the Holiday collections has hit the shelves! I love holiday collections, they are always full of shimmer and glitter which makes my Christmas-loving-heart very happy.

The collections is absolutely beautiful this year - I think it is largely due to the fact that I am a sucker for any palette that has purple eyeshadow and glittery gold nail polish (which are the two items I went to get myself).

The collection has a signature red black colour that runs throughout many of the products. The eyeshadow palette, illusion d'ombre (gel eyeshadow pot) and nail polish all play with the red black hue.

I went to buy my sister a little treat and decided on the Le Top Coat Lame Rouge Noir. It is a gold glitter nail polish with a sheer red black nail polish. This is a limited edition nail polish so I got myself one too and then I spotted the eyeshadow palette and just had to get it for myself.  It has a black-red colour (that was inspired by Chanel's famous Vamp colour) alongside a velvety purple, golden saffron and satiny beige colours.

It was a rather expensive purchase - Nail polishes R380 each and the palette was R805.  Not too sure what the other prices are like. Unfortunately the stand was very busy and I wasn't in the mood to be at the mall for too long, so I headed into Edgars, grabbed what I wanted (and a little more), paid and left. It is not often that I splurge like this so I thrilled with the products.

If you want something in the collection I would run out ASAP to get it because the holiday collection limited edition products sell out very quickly.

Big Hugs,
