A cancelled meeting today means I’ve been able to play about with this collection and get it swatched up for you. I don’t think it’s the most adventurous collection we’ve seen, but there’s really nothing not to like. Chanel beauty is in a bit of a transitional stage after the departure of Peter Philips (now at Dior) and the arrival of Lucia Pica whose first collection for Chanel launches later this year. Of the six Aqua Glossamers launching for summer, I have two, above. The paler one is Sahara and the darker shade is Dzhari.
As you can see, they both have a little shimmer and Sahara has a milky finish. They’re shown here with the Long Lasting Eyeliner in Sable – a shimmering shot of gold.
Here’s a closer look at Sable, next to Le Volume Waterproof in Mirage.
Thank goodness for a bit of sunshine to show off the gleam from the Creation Empreinte du Desert Palette.
I’ve swatched the palette both in and out of the sun and still haven’t caught the intensity of sheen.
My favourite product from the Chanel Summer Beauty 2016 collection is in this picture! It’s Espadrilles – the amplified tomato shade that you see. I cannot wait to get it on my nails and it’s a huge trend shade (as you’ll see when I post more summer collections).
On the nail wheel, left to right: Canotier, Espadrilles, Garconne and Cavaliere.
The Chanel Summer Beauty 2016 collection launches on 27th May.

Very summery! Love the gold tones x
The eyeshadows look nice. Jane, are they sheer in finish or do you consider them pretty pigmented and opaque?
actually very pigmented BUT you need to build it.. I used the green on my model and it worked as a liner really well with plenty of colour.. but they are light shades.
Love the palette, can’t wait to pick it up. Still mystified as to why they chose taupe and chocolate nail shades for a summertime collection though?
Love the look of the whole collection! x
Such gorgeous colours! The espadrilles shade would be a gorgeous, on the beach in your flip flops, toenail polish x
The eyeshadow quad reminds me of MAC: Bare My Soul Quad from 2013 MAC Temperature Rising Collection .
The eye shadows look amazing!! The whole collection is beautiful!
