Good lord, when did it get to be time for Fall cosmetics yet? Summer hasn't even officially begun! Leave it to Chanel to be the first in line to set the gold standard with their launch — and I mean that in the most literal sense. The new collection was designed by Peter Philips (the new Chanel makeup designer) and in true Chanel form, he drew his inspiration from Coco's decadent apartment to create a gold-based range. I'm seriously wondering if metallics have made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for longest-running makeup trend.
The collection is filled with 20 new products, including two limited-edition gold items. The first is a powder highlighter called Gold Fever ($50), which can be worn on the face or the body and the second is a pale, shimmery gold nail polish called Gold Fiction ($30). Everything will be available in July.
For a complete list and a brief description of each of the new products in the Fall 2008 collection, read more.

I have to have that nail polish!!
1I love the eyeshadow quad. Too bad it's far too expensive for me!

3the eye shadows
4and the nail
polish sound great,
i love that gold
polish.......
Love these colors - but FALL??? Summer hasn't even started yet!
5I love this collection, especially the eyeshadow quad... but yeah, fall makeup? I'm just barely getting started on summer!
6Gold-based shades usually don't flatter my skintone...it's very fair with pink undertones and I much prefer cool shades over warm.
7I love the polish color but don't think it would flatter my skintone. On the other hand, that powder highlighter looks like it would be gorgeous...
8I guess they are releasing the Fall collection so early to give us time to save our $$ for it.
9I just barely started buying my summer makeup! But i'll have to pass on these, Chanel's too pricey. I've always loved (from afar) their eye shadow quads though. So Pretty.
10This stuff is way too expensive for me. Exquisite though and beautiful.
11I don't look good in gold either so this collection is not for me. I can't afford Chanel anyway.
12No thanks...
13everyone needs to get the quad shadow, its bloody gorgeous.:]
