Now that we've officially hit the first day of Winter it's time to think. . . Spring? That's right. The weather may be chillier, but the beauty industry is looking ahead to the warmer months, as Chanel recently announced its upcoming Spring makeup collection, which brings back the boho-chic trend.
Which begs the question: Did it ever really die? The collection, inspired by Coco Chanel's love of upscale bohemian looks, will be available in just a few weeks. Featuring deep eye color shades for day and night and a contrasting shade selection of bold red and nude lips, the collection is earthy, sensual, and mysterious — much like the allure of the boho lifestyle itself.
I'm daydreaming about this limited edition Satin Lip Colour Compact ($60), which comes with five satin creme shades (pale pink to a deep plum), cleverly shaped into that classic Chanel "double c" shape. How cool is that? See what else is included in the collection, when you read more.
- Lips: Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick in six new shades: Rose Rebelle (pink), Beige Desire (beige), Euphoria (intense pink), Fiesta (apricot), Gipsy Scarlett (red), and Fuego (coral red); If you're thinking glossy, there's Sheer Colour Lipshine SPF 15 in Malta (copper) and Positano (beige); If subtle shimmer is what you desire, try Glossimer in Wild Rose (rosewood) and Beige Guitare (taupe); And for all-day options, there's Ultra Wear Lip Colour in Alexandrite (red) and Opal Rose (pink).
- Eyes — Quadra Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes includes plum, pink, beige and bronze shades. If metallic accents are what you seek, try Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Magic Night (plum shimmer), Liberty (beige shimmer), or Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Delta (gold). To complete the sultry look, there's Precision Eye Definer in Brun Cuivré (brown) and Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel Waterproof in Brun (brown).
- Nails — Two polishes: Vendetta (dark violet) and Django (beige pink).
- Face — For a matte finish, there's Poudre Universelle Compacte Beige. And for contouring cheeks and the décolletage, try Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Brun.

4cute...Cute...CUTE!!! Me likey-likey very much lol...
5Hmm, this would make a nice Bella Giveaway!!
6Edie, it will be out in just a few weeks. Just in time for holiday gift card usage.
7I'm with Bailaoragaditana...love boho-chic style and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. This collection is pretty fabulous!
8The collection is actually already available in several stores. My saks had it as of yesterday, maybe even earlier. I got the eyeshadow quad (it is freaking awesome, gorgeous), the brown eyeliner, and the vendetta nail polish. Chanel makeup is so fab!!!
9I never was a "boho" chick, never will be, but those lip colours sound luscious regardless!
10Punk I'm with you...not my style.
11vendetta! yah! i wrote them suggesting a metallic vamp replacement. i wonder what this looks like in person? i can't wait to see.
12The eye color looks great! I really like them. The lip colors also look fantastic. Actually the whole collection looks like colors I would wear.
13I love Chanel make-up so I will def try these products
14I want the Satin Lip Colour Compact! iT's so chic!
15Chanel's 2009 Spring collection, Bohemian Fantasy, is my color fantasy come true. The Powder Blush in "Fandango" is uber flattering - a warm pink brown that gives cheeks a soft glow and brightens eyes.
Of course, it's housed in Chanel's iconic sleek black case complete with full mirror and brush. Tucked in its elegant velveteen sleeve it's by my side from morn to night.
With it I love to wear Chanel's Sheer Colour Lip Shine in "Malta," a subdued pinkish beige for day and Chanel's Ultrawear in "Alexandrite" for evening. A shimmery deep brown red "Alexandrite" is fabulous in a dual ended applicator with lipstick on one end and high shine on the other. This heightened color on lips gives complexions an added radiance for those moonlit hours.
