Chic and Untroubled

A few weeks ago, I received an urgent text from a friend, which said: “Have you seen Chanel’s new fall beauty collection? It’s all gold. Are we still in the 80s or something?”

Well, we aren’t. No matter how hard people try to resurrect the Member’s Only jacket and varying styles of Ray Ban sunglasses.

But I am very fond of this color palette Chanel’s creative director Peter Phillips has created for the upcoming holiday season.

As a child, my mother would faithfully take me on trips with her, every couple of months, to the Iman make-up counter to purchase a beautiful shade of gold lipstick.

It always looked great and complimented her skin tone perfectly. So, once I saw this collection full of warm brown, bronze, and gold I immedatately thought of my dear mother. I know, it’s almost mother’s day, tear.

Of all the collections Chanel has done, this one would definitely be the most friendly towards minority beauty.  Up until now, I’ve only purchased nail polishes from the brand, but this line has me sincerely debating whether or not I should drop sixty dollars on a eye shadow quad.

Oh, and about that nail polish: It’s called Gold Friction and will be released in stores along with the rest of the products from this Gold collection in July.
