Chanel’s Spring 2012 Horizon Blush Has Us Dreaming of Warmer Days!

Let’s face it – no matter how ambitious (or how simple) your New Year’s resolutions may be, it can be difficult diving into “fresh start” mode when the winter weather at hand is so dreary and depressing. But fear not – Chanel’s Spring 2012 Collection is fiercely gung-ho about looking forward to the brighter, sunnier times ahead, and I dare you not to jump on-board! One of the most noteworthy items of the cheery, sherbet-hued collection is the color-blocked Blush Horizon de Chanel, a shimmery highlighter featuring flattering rose, coral, and peach hues that can be blended together, layered, or worn separately for a pretty spring flush. It’s sheer enough that it can be used as a highlighter for the subtlest glow, but is also buildable if you’re hoping to add statement-making tint to your sun-starved cheeks. At $58, it’s a bit of a splurge just to get a head-start on your spring-friendly collection, but it’s hard to say no to such a pretty compact… plus, think of it as a collector’s item!
