And just like that, we are pretending winter is over with the start of the new year and can already begin to plan for spring and summer. Truth be told, this rolling together of seasons confuses my brain and makes it hard to live in the moment while also enjoying having something to look forward to.
Plus, brand calendars release items months before the actual season begins, so we are going up against conflictingly confusing timelines.
Living in a tropical climate makes spring and summer launches far more practical than fall and winter, so they’re easier for me to justify. For the holidays, I was really living in my Chanel beauty era, and the brand already flipped over to release part of its spring/summer 2025 collection.
Bright, Fun Colors for Spring/Summer 2025
It’s not groundbreaking that Chanel would opt for lighter colors for spring and summer; it is expected. Chanel nail polish fueled my nail art obsession about 10 years ago, and when I see a color that speaks to me, it brings back the memories of me painting my nails every single week with multiple of the latest shades that would always sell out.
Two new colorways have just been released: Poète and Artiste.
There’s also a new lip balm in town: the Chanel Rouge Coco Baume Shine. This is available in six colorways and comes in a white and golden case with a transparent cap. The nice thing about this is one coat offers a hint of color with a bit of shine, but more coats will give you more color coverage. I always prefer a shine with a tint versus a full-on lipstick.
I typically only put a light gold shimmer on my eyes for some shine. But anything in the gold color family regarding eyeshadow works well with my complexion and eye color, so this palette speaks to me. I think most people look good with golden hues on their eyes, so we can all wear this, which will help our eyes pop. It can also be used as highlighter, too!
I’m ending with the Chanel Takeaways. While these aren’t new, they actually were released last year to much fanfare from you all; the color scheme goes right along with the spring-summer collection. Mostly, I hope Chanel offers us new sets, because at this point, you know I can’t resist a packaged beauty set from the brand.
Love that green nail polish!!!
That green reminds me of Jade; which I was obsessed with!
yes, I thought that immediately too, I still have Jade and its still perfect!
