Obviously, I had to take advantage of the early morning shopping trip to freshen up and give myself a whole Chanel look before heading into the office. If you\u2019re curious about what I used, here\u2019s a quick rundown, in order of application:<\/p>\n

Is this the silkiest skin tint I’ve ever applied? Yes.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Giancarlos Kunhardt<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve tried a few Chanel foundations at this point, and if there\u2019s anything I\u2019ve taken away, they\u2019re some of the most hydrating, skin-like formulas on the market. Sublimage L\u2019Essence de Teint is no exception. Not only is BD21 a spot-on match, but the vanilla-infused formula simply enhances and brightens my skin (with the help of antioxidants and a touch of mica) rather than masking it.<\/p>\n

This shimmery pink blush is so Glinda-coded.<\/p>\n

An eye shadow palette so dreamy, I look like I’m actually dreaming.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Giancarlos Kunhardt<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I typically gravitate towards golds and pinks when it comes to eye makeup, but there was zero chance I was about to skip over the limited-edition holiday colorways. I promptly picked up Les 4 Ombres in Nuit Astrale and dove right into the satin lavender shade, sweeping it onto the center of my lids for an ethereal pop. And can we appreciate the embossing on each eye shadow? Lions, camellias, comets, wheat, and pearls\u2014too gorgeous.<\/p>\n

My lips are drier than the Sahara, so I always prep with a lip oil\u2014bonus points for the cooling metal applicator.<\/p>\n

What screams \u201choliday\u201d more than a shimmery lipstick?<\/p>\n

<\/span>Giancarlos Kunhardt<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bright-lip lovers, rise. I\u2019m not one for shimmery hues for an everyday look, but when I\u2019m really feeling myself (as I was that day) or getting ready for a night out, Rouge Allure Lacque is the satin, light-reflecting lipstick of my dreams.<\/p>\n

N\u00b05 Eau de Parfum Purse Spray<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n

The ultimate pocket scent. I’ll take five.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Katie Gunderman<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In my opinion, no Chanel look is truly complete without a spritz of one of the most recognizable scents in the world\u2014a fresh, floral, warm, and soapy scent that I find myself liking more each time I revisit it. In fact, the N\u00b05 Eau de Parfum Purse Spray was my favorite find of the entire morning.<\/p>\n

I, like many others, can\u2019t help but adore a miniature\u2014in this case, a 0.2-ounce vial of the signature powdery-floral scent is nestled inside a chic gold casing that can be worn around the wrist, thanks to an accompanying gold chain. Chanel gets it: Just because N\u00b05 is classic doesn\u2019t mean it has to be presented or gifted in the usual bottle year after year.<\/p>\n

Overall Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Visiting the Fragrance & Beauty boutique (FYI: These are separate stores from Chanel\u2019s fashion boutiques!) felt like a playdate\u2014albeit a very high-brow one\u2014and reminded me how fun it is to shop in person and play with textures, sample scents, and swatch to my heart\u2019s content. If you\u2019re a beauty lover who\u2019s based in New York City\u2014or any of the cities in which Chanel Beauty has set up shop\u2014I highly recommend you pay a visit and indulge in some of my favorite luxury beauty products.<\/p>\n

Even More Chanel Gifts I\u2019m Eyeing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

P.S. While I was browsing, I spotted plenty of other giftable Chanel items and sets that I didn\u2019t get a chance to experience as closely. But, in the spirit of offering even more gifting inspiration (and adding more to my personal holiday shopping checklist, if I\u2019m being honest), here are a few presents I\u2019d love to receive and\/or gift to my loved ones:<\/p>\n

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Pearly Body Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not even huge on body oils, but the golden shimmer is too mesmerizing to pass up. I can totally see myself slathering my arms and decolletage in this for an extra touch of holiday party glam.<\/p>\n

Winter is the<\/em> time to step up your hydrating skin care, and I\u2019m not just talking about the face. My hands go through the wringer of constant handwashing or brutal New York City winds (Did I mention I often forget to wear gloves?), so I\u2019m stocking up on Le Lift La Cr\u00e8me Main and<\/em> Le Lift Cr\u00e8me, both of which contain a botanical alfalfa concentrate that works similarly to retinol\u2014sans sensitivity.<\/p>\n

Les 9 Ombres in 849 The Space Traveler<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As much as I love the Chanel eye shadow quads, I\u2019d never pass up more shade options\u2014and all the shimmers, thank you very much, which is why I\u2019m eyeing The Space Traveler and The Daring Muse, in particular. Plus, these nine-shade palettes are still relatively compact enough to fit into most makeup bags.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with a classic black or brown liner, but I\u2019ve always gravitated towards colorful eyeliners for an extra punch\u2014and Chanel\u2019s Le Liner de Chanel has been reimagined in gorgeous pinks and oranges that will earn you compliments left and right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
