The Chanel holidays 2021 beauty collection is here! This holiday season, Chanel is celebrating their iconic fragrance, Chanel No. 5. The entire holiday beauty collection is centered around Chanel No. 5 by offering classic hues, and Chanel No. 5 themed packaging. Love it!

This year, the Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 collection consists of one, iconic red nail polish which offers pinkish and cherry undertones. This is a classic red which is in theme with the timeless beauty collection Chanel has given us for the holidays 2021 season. It’s beautiful, classic, and iconic. Love!

There are several colors of lipstick for the holiday season, and additional make-up options, in Chanel’s holidays 2021 beauty collection. I invested in one lipstick, the fabulous bottle of edp, and this classic nail polish.

Without further ado, here is what I purchased from the Chanel holidays 2021 beauty collection, Chanel No. 5.

Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 | Chanel Rouge Intemporel

How pretty is Chanel Rouge Intemporel nail polish for the holiday 2021 season? I love it! This cherry hue is classic and feminine. It’s a great investment red to wear now, and all year long. If you like a little sparkle for the holidays, check out this top coat from Dior.

I tested out Chanel Rouge Intemporel nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color. As with all Chanel’s nail polishes, the Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 collection is chip resistant, and it goes on streak free. This is a cream polish with a shiny finish. Love!

Chanel lipstick holidays 2021 | Chanel Rouge Allure Rouge Brulant

Normally I gravitate towards sheer lipsticks, but this cream lipstick from Chanel for the holiday season was too pretty to pass up. The Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick for the holiday 2021 season includes five colors. I picked up Chanel Rouge Brulant which is a pinkish red hue. I love how it compliments the Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 hue. Chanel Rouge Brulant offers more pink than Chanel Rouge Intemporel nail polish, and I feel like it’s the right mix of pink and red for a festive holiday season.

As usual, the Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick collection offers moisture, and does not dry out the lips. It goes on smoothly, without clumping or running. This is the holy grail of cream lipstick.

Chanel No. 5 EDP limited edition holidays 2021

For the holiday 2021 season, Chanel has created a beauty collection themed around the iconic Chanel No. 5 fragrance collection. As part of the collection, there are EDT and EDP offerings. I chose the EDP as I prefer a slightly stronger, and longer lasting, fragrance experience.

The Chanel No 5 holiday bottle comes in a bottle shaped box with an elastic emblem at the top. This is a beautiful way to store the bottle, especially if you store your fragrances in an area with light.

Pro tip: always store fragrances in a dark, dry area to preserve them, and allow them, to last for years. This means keeping them out of the bathroom. I keep mine in a hall closet away from the bathrooms.

Since this collection is limited edition, and celebrates the iconic Chanel No. 5 fragrance collection, it will make a great holiday gift for the beauty and Chanel fan on your list! I guess I gave this collection to myself for Christmas. haha

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring 2021 makeup from top left: black mascara / cocoa eye pencil / liquid lipstick / spring nail polish (see review) / foundation powder / concealer / spring lipstick / spring eye quad /

Spring is official this upcoming weekend! If you haven’t already updated your makeup bag, skin care routine, and hair care-it’s time!

Makeup for spring uses bright versions of classic hues, which offer a timeless yet cheery look for the warm weather season. Love that! I’m crushing on this bright and sparkling red nail polish, as well as this bright yet timeless lipstick hue.

Spring skin care

Spring skin care from top left: neck cream / face cream / eye cream / anti-aging serum / hand cream / body butter / eau de parfum (ok, not technically skin care but makes skin smell good-so it’s related, right?? haha) (review here)

The spring season is when skin care starts to change. As temperatures warm up, we need to make sure our skin is getting the attention it needs. I love making sure I have spf in my face cream, as well as ensuring I am keeping my skin tone even as the sun starts to give me a base tan.

I also love this body butter to ensure my skin is properly moisturized. Also, this hand cream is fabulous; especially with all the hand washing we do these days!

Spring hair care

My hair has been dry and brittle, so I switched up my shampoo! I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for two weeks now, and I already notice a difference. My hair is getting healthier and less brittle. Love that!

Also a huge fan of this oil treatment and hair dryer. If you are going to splurge on anything, this hair dryer is worth every penny. It is so gentle on the hair; yet it does the job quickly! Love it!

Lancome Idole L’Intense edp review

Do you love warm, woody florals? I do! I was so excited when I learned Lancome had released a new woody floral. This beautiful fragrance, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp, is a warm, woody floral with a smooth base. It has a classic vibe, and seasonless scent. Love that!

I am excited about Lancome Idole L’Intense edp since it is a woody floral we can all wear now, during the cold winter months. It’s a warm fragrance, which is ideal on a cool day. Due to the jasmine and rose top notes, this woody floral is a versatile fragrance which will enable it to also be worn during moderate and warm temperatures. I would wear it up to about 85 degrees. After 85 degrees, I prefer to move into nautical, and fruity scents which only work on hot days. Love!

Top notes: Sensual Isparta Rose, Fresh Jasmine

Middle notes: Warm Musks

Base notes: Cedar, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla

After about one minute, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp settles into a warm, musky floral with a slight vanilla and wood scent. As the day progresses, it cycles through a warm, musky fragrance experience which is smooth and rich. I love the lingering cedar and vanilla laced into the musk at the end of the day. The edp formula is long lasting, so it will not need to be reapplied during the day. You can spray it on at 7am and still enjoy it at 10pm.

If you love a good woody floral, this is your new scent! It will also make a fabulous gift. Lancome offers several gift box choices which are perfect for any holiday during the year. I highly recommend trying this scent. I rate it five out of five stars! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!
