The newest mini-collection to hit Chanel.com is the Bombay Express de Chanel Collection.  It’s only 7 items deep with 4 of those being Limited Edition.  I picked up 3 of the LE products, steering clear of the highlighter.  It’s pretty to look at, but I don’t use highlighters that often and I don’t know if I’d do anything with that one other than stare at it for hours… maybe days.  2012 never looked so good.

Previously I showed you Empreinte Rouge Coco Shine, and of course I loved it, but Brume d’Or Joues Contraste Powder Blush in on a whole other level.

What the Chanel website has to say about Brume d’Or Joues Contraste Powder Blush:

This beautifully sunny earth tone awakens cheeks with an elegant glow. Part of the limited-edition BOMBAY EXPRESS DE CHANEL Collection.

Brume d’Or is a bronze with a hit of peach.  It has a bit of shimmer (which shows up more on the swatch than on the cheek) but comes off as mostly matte.  It’s matte, but with extra dimension   This is a great shade to use a contour or as a blush.  Definitely HG material!

The pigment is there, but it will apply and blend out to your liking.  Below I dabbed my brush in and applied twice to get the perfect amount of color.  This was for day, so I might add a bit more for evening.

This blush does boast some decent staying power.  You all know how hot it’s been.  I applied this around 9am and almost 12 hours later it still looked great.

Chanel Brume d’Or Joues Contraste Powder Blush retails for $43.00 and is available at Chanel.com for a limited time.
