| Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Colour in "Light" |
Chanel Summer 2017 Cruise Collection | Les Beiges Poudre Belle Mine Ensoleillee Healthy Glow Luminous Colour in "Light" ($68 CAD):
No doubt the star of this collection and available in four different shades, this is a natural powder highlight housed in the elegant Les Beiges compact. The powder is pressed with a soft wavy pattern that mimics the ridges of a seashell while the formulation is soft, creamy, and finely-milled. There is also a very subtle floral fragrance that's very alluring and irresistible.

| Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Colour in "Light" |
"
Light" is a super sheer translucent peachy beige. Under artificial lighting, the powder barely shows up on my NC20 skin. However, under direct sunlight, the powder shines with the most stunning iridescent sparkles. I unfortunately couldn't capture its gorgeous shimmer on camera so I highly encourage you to check this out in person. Overall, this is a very, very, very subtle highlighter. If you are going to be indoors most of the time, the powder provides no more than a subtle brightening effect. However, if you plan on hitting the beach, the Healthy Glow Luminous Colour in "Light" will make you sparkle, in the best way possible (trust me)!

| Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in "847 Terra Rossa" |
Chanel Summer 2017 Cruise Collection | Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in "847 Terra Rossa" ($35 CAD):
A rich satin plum eyeliner, "
847 Terra Rossa" features a creamy and pigmented formulation that glides smoothly over the lids. The formulation only sets slightly so although the color is waterproof, it's not 100% smudge-proof. If you are looking for a nice purple to lightly smudge across the lids, this liner is a good option. However, if you want a sharp and defined line that will last all day, this liner may greatly disappoint.

| Chanel Rouge Coco Stylo Complete Care Lipshine in "217 Panorama" |
Chanel Summer 2017 Cruise Collection | Rouge Coco Stylo Complete Care Lipshine in "217 Panorama" ($45 CAD):
A hydrating sheer lip color made with coconut oil and jojoba, the Rouge Coco Stylo has a very soft and melty texture. The product is housed in a thick, twist-up crayon and it is unfortunately not retractable, so make sure to only twist up very little at the time.

| Chanel Rouge Coco Stylo Complete Care Lipshine in "217 Panorama" |
"
217 Panorama" is a natural tan beige with just a hint of shimmers. The color is sheer but buildable. I would compare this to a very slick and buttery lip crayon. The color slips around on the lips quite a bit and it will settle into fine lines. Therefore, the wear is just okay but it is very comfy and hydrating!

| Chanel Summer 2017 Cruise Collection Le Vernis Nail Polish |
Chanel Summer 2017 Cruise Collection | Le Vernis in "560 Coquillage" ($32 CAD):
This is a light pastel peach with a very subtle golden sheen. The formulation is pigmented but slightly uneven so I had to use three coats for a full and smooth finish.

Chanel Summer 2017 Cruise Collection | Le Vernis in "564 Sea Whip" ($32 CAD):
A juicy soft papaya pink cream, Sea Whip is also pigmented but slightly uneven. The polish is not self-leveling so I had to go in with a third coat to smooth things out.

Chanel Summer 2017 Cruise Collection | Le Vernis in "562 Coralium" ($32 CAD):
Last but not least, Coralium is a fresh and soft coral cream. The formulation is pigmented and very creamy. I used two coats for the swatches below and the finish is completely even and opaque.
