How To Get The Almost Black Nails Look
No sure if you have noticed but the almost black nails look is still in. You can try a totally black shade or deep colors like blue or purple infused with a black hue.
These are Talking Makeup’s favorites:
Try MAC Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in Nocturnelle, which is a Black-as-night black (Cream), or in Illegal Purple, which happens ti be my new absolute favorite!
And, CHANEL Le Vernis Nail Colour in #461 in Blue Satin.
Chanel No5 Eau Premiére
The newest incarnation of the cherished Chanel No5 from master perfumer Jacques Polge highlights soft top notes of Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine.
Chanel No5 Eau Premiére is a lighter, softer interpretation of the world-renowned fragrance that just might take over the Elixir Sensuel spot on our dressing table.
As summer winds down and turns to fall, this lovely scent is certainly going to be one of our favorites.
Chanel No5 Eau Premiére ($125) is available beginning October 2008 at department and specialty stores and online at chanel.com.

How To Do Smoky Eye by CHANEL Makeup Artist Kate Lee
CHANEL Celebrity Makeup Artist Kate Lee gives tips for her signature Smoky Eye:
“Start with the CHANEL Professional Eyeliner Duo. Draw along the lash line, bottom, top, or both depending on the desired effect, and blend out with either your finger or a brush.
LA LIGNE DE CHANEL PROFESSIONAL EYELINER DUO
Line the insides of the eye with a kohl pencil in a dark colour for intensity, or use one of my favorite tricks of late which is to use a light color or metallic eye pencil to make the eye pop.
Next, take a flat brush and gently layer on the darkest eyeshadow shade on the lash line and lid being careful not to go beyond the eyelid for an intense smoldering look.
Mascara is definitely optional as sometimes the smoky eye looks great with none at all! The most important tip I give, is to work on clean skin. Apply foundation last, as then you can make sure skin is clean and avoid any circles under the eye.”

CHANEL Introduces Precision Cleansers and Toners
New: CHANEL Cleansers and Toners.
Pollution is a dirty fact of life. The dirt on your window-sill, the smog in the air and the hole in the ozone layer are daily reminders of the unfortunate effects of pollution. It wreaks havoc on the eco-system and even our skin. If pollution has the power to damage the ozone layer over 6 miles above the earth’s surface, one can only wonder how it affects your skin.
The air in most cities is a cocktail of varying levels of polluting gases, liquids and solids, all of which our faces are exposed to daily. The first step, educate yourself on what you can do to minimize your contribution to the pollution problem. The second step, treat yourself to the new CHANEL Précision Cleansers & Toners specifically developed to counteract the adverse effects of these damaging pollutants.
At the heart of this high-performance collection developed by CHANEL Research is the Tulip Tree, which has been planted in cities worldwide to help de-pollute the air. Its shiny green leaves are covered by a protective wax that traps pollutants. As the toxic particles accumulate, the wax barrier prevents the pollutants from penetrating the surface, allowing them to be naturally eliminated when it rains.
The use of plants to de-pollute the environment, a process called phytoremediation, utilizes plants to naturally absorb the environmental contaminants. However, CHANEL is the first to integrate this natural technique into a tailor-made product line which addresses the onslaught of environmental pollution head-on.
Combining the natural strength of the Tulip Tree Extract & Concentrate, with a bio-technological ingredient, Bioglucane, for greater efficacy, CHANEL Précision Cleansers & Toners are able to perform three exclusive actions:
1. Trap pollutants to prevent skin damage from daily exposure to harmful environmental elements.
2. Remove up to100% of impurities caused by harmful indoor and outdoor pollution.
3. Protect the integrity of skin’s natural defense barriers, while respecting skin’s delicate balance.
CHANEL Précision Cleansers & Toners come in 3 different formulas: Comfort, Balance, and Purity.
