I have always admired French art, fashion and of course cosmetics. I finally made my foray into the French cosmetic realm last fall with a generous gift card from my sister, TH. I bought the Limited Edition 2011 Holiday Les Tissages de Chanel blusher in 70 Tweed Brun Rose ($45) and the Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow quad in 14 Mystic Eyes ($58) (which will be reviewed in a later post).
First of all the powder has a very unique and iconic Chanel tweed texture. The blush consisted of different shades of peach and pink in a raised pattern instead of one uniform color. Initially, there was a gold overspray that disappears after the first one to two uses.
