The first collection of Comètes Collective by Chanel, under the sign of blue
The Lumière de l’Océan highlighter and the 4 Ombres Rivage from the Chanel Spring 2024 collection Chanel
Last year, Chanel announced the appointment of a creative trio of make-up artists at the head of its creation studio, called Comètes Collective: Ammy Drammeh, Cécile Paravina and Valentina Li. Three different personalities for a plural and original. It is the third that has the honor of opening the ball with a first collection placed under the sign of blue, its signature color, from its bob to its manicure. To signify the allure of the Chanel woman with many faces, she imagined a metamorphosis with the stroke of a pencil to become a true city siren. And invites us to dare this color as hypnotic as it is daring with a refreshing collection where the blue of the ocean rubs shoulders with the red of corals, the pearly white of pearls or even the pink of jellyfish. Our favorites ? The essential balm that creates a
mermaid glow
. And the Ocean Light palette, a highlighter that plays on transparency effects and adds a touch of mother-of-pearl. Enough to celebrate spring even if we still have to wait before diving into the deep end of summer.

A gentle brush for little ones
La Bonne Brosse is now thinking of little ones by dedicating a model specifically adapted to their delicate hair. “My first brush” is the perfect birth gift and is available in three colors (sugar pink, sky blue and cream white). Its specificity? It is made up of white wild boar bristles, very supple and rich in keratin but also with rich absorbent properties for better distribution of sebum. And therefore fewer shampoos, which should delight the children. For the rest of the brush, we find the brand's signature composition: a cellulose acetate handle made from 70% plant fibers.
