The Incredibly Versatile CHANEL Beauty Cruise Collection 2018
Summer is all about that radiant glowing skin but how many of us are actually willing to change up our makeup each season? You know who you are - busy, with a mile long to-do list with no end in sight. Trying a new look feels daunting, impossible even, but CHANEL’S 2018 Cruise Collection makes it oh-so-easy for us all.
Inspired by the reflections of water, the limited edition 14-piece collection, takes your everyday makeup to another level. The best part is that you don’t even have to try some crazy new technique to get your glow on.
The collection is all about sheer washes of shimmery colour on the face, chic pastels on the nails, and a sun-kissed complexion that’s easy to obtain with L’EAU TAN, a new summer essential in self-tanning that comes in the form of a refreshing body mist that contains a small percentage of DHA and leaves a light invigorating scent.
From office wear to weekend makeup at the cottage, the 2018 Cruise Collection is incredibly versatile and one you’ll want to add to your makeup bag this season.
The collection is in stores now at chanel.com and CHANEL beauty counters.
CHANEL 2018 Cruise Collection
STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF #887 CHARME, satin brown-aubergine shade, perfect for a more natural look.
LES 4 OMBRES, ÉCLAT ÉNIGMATIQUE, this palette contains four modern takes on Summer colour: a satin ivory; a concrete grey; a brick red and a bronze brown.
“The colours in Éclat Énigmatique eyeshadow palette are made of a more transparent texture so even if you have a red, bronze, grey and pearlescent gold colours, when you apply them they have a very transparent texture so you have this hint of glamour.”
-Lucia Picca
The travel-friendly compact features a trio of sheer, dewy textures, perfect for applying with fingers. PALETTE ESSENTIELLE ÉTÉ #190, ÉCLAT SOLAIRE, a beige-caramel highlighter, a gold highlighter and a blush in raspberry red.
"Nails take a sophisticated hue this summer. Subtle but never predictable, the trio of new shades represent opportunity to explore something new." LE VERNIS LONGUE TENUE, #608 LÉGÉRETÉ (green khaki), #610 HALO (milky pink), #612 CHICNESS (mauvy deep burgundy).
CHANEL gives us the sheerest, carefree colour this summer that feels beautifully hydrating, almost like a balm. LE ROUGE CRAYON DE COULEUR, #17 A LA ROSÉE (milky pink), #19 AU NATUREL (ultimate rosy caramel nude).
Summer Scents
I change my scent daily according to mood and have found that all of my CHANEL favourites transition well into summer. If you're looking for a light mist of scent - try out the new N°5 L'EAU All-Over Spray, which can be used on the body and hair.
For a summer glow - try the new L’EAU TAN which is subtly self-tans the skin and leaves a delicate scent.
"It gives you a very light tan, it's almost like what you'd get at the beginning of the summer. The colour you get on your skin is quite golden but very transparent, and it's got a beautiful cologne perfume in it so it feels fresh."
-Lucia Pica, CHANEL Global Creative Makeup and Colour Designer
I'm back on YouTube + Mini Bathroom Tour & CHANEL makeup tutorial
Anyone who has been following along with my Instagram Stories knows that Geoff and I have been busy renovating our guest bathroom. This has been a total DIY job from start to finish - from hammering out the concrete to doing the plumbing and electrical. We're very lucky because both of our fathers have experience in this area and out helped a lot. Even the badass tiling work you see behind the vanity here was done by Geoff and I. We're just total DIYers over here at Casa WoahStyle! LOL.
We're about 90% done at this stage with only a single wall of built-in shelves that needs to be finished. Needless to say, we're happy to see it coming together and I can't wait to give you guys a proper bathroom tour when it's done.
For the bathroom design, I was inspired by my travels and visits to some of my favourite hotels - 21C in Cincinnati, Ludlow Hotel in NY and Litli Geysir Hotel in Iceland. I wanted clean lines and neutral colour palette to make guests feel more at home.
Actually, my real motive was to create a bathroom that was totally Instagrammable and beautiful to shoot blog content in. The reality is family only stays with us about once a year so it's actually my space now. Most importantly, we're adding value to our house by having an extra bathroom.
Anyway, I'm really happy with it so far. I find the space so inspiring that I dusted off the ol' ring light and decided to shoot my first video in what has been ages. Make sure you press play K?
Without giving away too much, the video features items from the CHANEL Les Beiges Collection, which launches May 1.
I'm totally smitten with all of the products here, but if I had to pick a must-have for spring/summer, it would be the LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW LUMINOUS MULTI-COLOUR POWDER.
Even if you decide to skip blush for the day, this powder does wonders for your complexion and instantly warms the face. Plus, how beautiful is the packaging? It comes with its own brush that's equally as chic. It is limited edition though so if you guys want to pick it up, be sure to get on it.

I'm getting mad compliments from CHANEL'S new Coco Mademoiselle perfume
Scent is a powerful thing.
A woman once followed me out of an elevator on a floor that wasn’t her stop to ask me what perfume was wearing. It’s amazing how fragrance has the amazing duality of being able to make and leave an impression.
Wondering what perfume I was wearing? It was CHANEL COCO MADEMOISELLE EAU DE PARFUM INTENSE.
I could get technical and tell you it’s a chypre-floral fragrance that captures you at the very first layer of sparkling orange with ghosts of rose, but what I really want to talk about is how this scent makes me feel. Once in a while, the stars align and you truly feel like your best self. Your outfit is on point, your hair is behaving, your makeup is on fleek and you’re just ready to run things. That’s how I feel every time I dab this perfume into my pulse points.
The lasting power of this fragrance is incredible and settles beautifully after a few hours. If you’re looking for the aroma of luxury, you really do need to try this scent.

The Fail Proof Way to Cover Up Dark Under Eye Circles
There's nothing worse than a sleepless night only to have to wake up the next morning and deal with covering up those dark undereye circles. I mean, the last thing you want is for your colleagues to sit across the boardroom wondering why you look so exhausted right? Or, maybe you're like me, and no matter how much sleep you get you still have dark under eyes! Regardless, you're here because you want to know how to cover them up and I want to tell you how. I've been batting with dark under eyes since I was a teen and I like to think of myself as a bit of an expert on the matter of concealing them. Below you'll find the best concealers and fail-proof methods in covering up dark under eye circles.
Best Concealers For Covering Up
Dark Under Eye Circles
BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector
Colour Corrector
This peach coloured concealer is your first step. Your primer if you will. The peachy tone helps cancel out the blue undertones in your undereye circles. Use it after eye cream and before your regular concealer by patting it on the darkest areas using your ring finger.
Laura Mercier Secret Concealer
Medium-Full Coverage
Those with drier skin will love this creamy concealer. It's the one Makeup by Mario recommended in the Master Class I attended this summer and it's the one I've had in my makeup bag for months now. I like to apply this one with a concealer brush and layer it bit by bit so it covers up the darker areas.
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer
Full Coverage
This concealer is drier than the Laura Mercier one (mentioned above) and it's better suited for normal-oily skin. The formula is full coverage and it's great to use when you're in a rush in the morning since it gets rid of dark undereyes quickly. Best of all, it lasts all day.
Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme
Full Coverage
If you prefer creme over pot concealers then you're going to love the following three. KVD makes an amazing one in an array of skin tones that's full coverage and easy to work with. This full coverage formula applies great with a Beauty Blender or fingers and doesn't crease.
Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer
Full Coverage
Similar to KVD's concealer in terms of coverage and texture, this one is available only in the US right now but you can always order it through ulta.com fellow Canadians. I love the full coverage formula and how it doesn't budge, but I could do without the weird chemically odor. Maybe that's why it's not sold in Canada. Hmmm....
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
Medium-Full Coverage
This iconic concealer is probably one of the brands best-selling product. If I remember correctly, one of my contacts from the Nars head office told me that a Creamy Radiant Concealer is sold around the world every minute. Wait, or was it second? Anyway, it totally makes sense because this medium-full coverage concealer is buildable and excellent for covering up dark circles.
The Best Way to Get Rid of Dark Under Eyes
Pay close attention because getting rid of dark circles isn't difficult by any means. It doesn't have to take long and you don't even have to use any of the concealers mentioned here but what matters most, in all absoluteness, is the application method. Adding a thin layer of concealer little by little will build up the coverage where you need it most without the cakiness or creasing.
Hydrate Those Eyes!
Start by hydrating your under eyes. Olay's Ulitmate Eye Cream is ridiculously hydrating without being oily and it has illuminating flecks in it to brighten things up.
Don't Skip The Foundation
If my under eye circles are particularly bad, I like to use a medium to full coverage foundation first with a drop of MAC's Strobe Cream. The foundation helps even out my skin tone, while Strobe Cream helps illuminate my skin. It's the perfect recipe for natural, dewy looking skin.
Prime Those Under Eyes
Using a peach (for fair-medium skin) or red (for medium-dark skin) concealer first will help colour correct the blue in your under eyes. Without it, it'll be more difficult to cover up dark circles so trust me, use that colour corrector.
Conceal, Conceal, Conceal
By now you'll notice your dark circles are looking much better but there's still work to be done. Using a brush (for more coverage), dab your under eyes with concealer and blend with your fingertips. The warmth of your fingers will help blend the makeup into your skin so it looks flawless. It might also take remove some concealer along the way which is why you'll want to work in layers and add more concealer back in where you need it. Do this until you're happy with the results.
Ready, Set, Go!
Time to lock that concealer in! There are two ways you can do this depending on the effect you want and how much time you have. Method one is the quick and easy way and more natural - dip a small fluffy brush into Laura Mericier's Secret Brightening Powder and pat over top of the concealer to set. This powder is at pricey at $31 for a small container, but it's light reflective properties and weightless formula is what makes it ideal for the delicate under eyes.
Method two will give you more flawless results and trust me, your makeup will not fade or crease one bit. It's called baking and what you want to do is take a damp sponge and dunk it in your LM powder and pat it on your under eyes. Build that powder up and let it sit for about 5 minutes as you work on your eyebrows before sweeping it away with a fluffy brush.
That wasn't too bad right? With practice, you'll be able move through these steps in no time and most importantly, no one will ask if you're tired. ;)
