August 19 marks what would have been Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel’s 143rd birthday. While we’re sure the legendary French designer would have aged gracefully, Chanel Beauty is marking this special day with the launch of some new additions to its Le Lift skincare collection and Coco Mademoiselle Makeup line, as well as its new skincare range Sublimage Les Extraits. Designed to keep skin looking plump, hydrated and glowing, these new formulas offer a fitting tribute to Coco’s enduring legacy of timeless beauty.
Le Lift
Naturally, as we age, collagen production in the skin declines. In simple terms, this reduces the firmness and density of our complexion, meaning fine lines and wrinkles begin to emerge. However, through its collaboration with French start-up Damae, Chanel Beauty has engineered products designed to visibly reduce the signs of ageing through its coveted Le Lift line, all while maintaining the luxurious sensory experience synonymous with the house.
What makes the new launches even more exciting is that both are enriched with Chanel’s Pro-Lift complex, designed to penetrate deeper into the skin and target collagen with powerful anti-ageing molecules.
Whether you prefer a richer, nourishing formula or something more lightweight and fluid, the two new products offer a tailored experience to suit your individual skin care preferences. The packaging oozes chic. Le Lift Crème comes housed in a sleek black jar, with subtle hints of mauve-purple shining through the glossy, refillable design. The cream boasts a smooth, silky formula that leaves skin feeling firmer, bouncier and deeply hydrated, while helping to restore facial volume for a plumper, brighter complexion.
Meanwhile, Le Lift Fluide comes housed in a sleek rectangular bottle, finished in a light brown reflective hue and topped with an inky black cap. Enriched with AHA (alpha hydroxy acids), this lightweight formula glides effortlessly onto the skin, leaving a fresh, dewy finish while helping to refine skin texture and minimise the appearance of pores.
Coco Mademoiselle Makeup
If you thought Chanel Beauty was finished celebrating its founder’s birthday just with skincare offerings, think again. The brand is all but taking over the beauty sphere today, with the launch of its new Coco Mademoiselle makeup collection.
The offering includes Les 9 Ombres, a new smoky limited edition palette featuring five high-impact eyeshadows and four shimmery top coats and the Rouge Coco Crush Limited Edition Lipstick, adorned with the House’s signature double C delicately engraved into its mauve bullet. It also includes the new Stylo Yeux Waterproof eyeliner, the Joues Contraste Intense Rose Radiant Blush, the Le Vernis opaque pink nail polish and the fresh Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu fragrance.
Sublimage Les Extraits
Last but definitely not least, Chanel has launched its golden elixir of beauty: the Sublimage Les Extraits skincare line. “Never sleep past eight o’clock in the morning. Never go to bed too late. Always remember that two hours of sleep before midnight are worth more than four before midday,” said Gabrielle Chanel in an interview in the 1950s. This quote proved to be the very foundation of the line, which features Ublimage Les Extraits, Sublimage L’Extrait De Nuit and Sublimage L’Extrait Baume Regard.
Each product is enriched with a concentrated Vanilla Planifolia molecule to triple the skin’s cellular regeneration. This is combined with Swertia to target repair, along with a naturally derived Chronopeptide. It’s the ultimate beauty wake-up call.
The new launches are designed to be applied using the brand’s L’Extrait De Fascia – a self-massage technique to plump the complexion and allow the products to penetrate the skin on a deeper level.
So with their exquisite formulas, timeless packaging and perfected products, add these new Chanel goodies to your basket now, and by the time you reach Coco’s age of 143, you won’t look a day over 25.
