MANILA, Philippines - Few things make grown women’s eyes light up with joy like seeing those two interlocking C’s — an unmistakable stamp of elegance — embossed on a little matte black box. Chanel’s holiday collection, as well as its roster of classics, including the bestselling Chanel N°5, makes up essentials that complete the classic holiday look — velvety red lips, luminous skin, and a well-loved scent. Chanel is available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source.
Le Vernis Les Rouges Culte de Chanel is an essential holiday accessory — a re-edit of Chanel’s three vintage reds. Timeless hits from the ‘80s such as Rouge Flamboyante, Laque Rouge and Rouge N°19 are luxurious, modern and feminine.
Chanel Sublimage L’Essence is the ultimate revitalizing and light-activating concentrate. It’s a bestselling anti-aging product infused with the essence from the golden flower of the Himalayas, which promotes detoxification in suffocated skin caused by fatigue, stress and pollution. It rehydrates skin, improves the apperance of fine lines, and makes skin soft and radiant. The result is skin that glows with healthiness.
Chanel N°5 is the fragrance of timeless femininity. It retains the mystery of an abstract fragrance with no identifiable dominant note. It is “a woman’s fragrance that smells like a woman,” as Coco Mademoiselle liked to say.
Chanel’s Christmas 2014 collection captures the festive spirit of the holidays. Camélia de Plumes, an exclusive creation, is a light and refined illuminating powder with shimmers blended in a platinum shade. The pressed powder is marked with a feather motif in the shape of a camellia flower. Sweep gold and silver shimmer on your cheekbones and décolleté.
Rouge Allure Velvet in La Flamboyante, a fiery red, is a source of Christmas cheer. The lipstick is velvety and matte, and comes in a texture that comforts and moisturizers the lips.
For the eyes, Chanel has Les 5 Ombres de Chanel Oiseaux de Nuit — a palette of five timeless shades. A silvery white and antique gold illumitates the eyes, while a duo of grays and soft lavender deliver intensity.
