Our Top Chanel Gift
FAQ
Not your average floral print: Gabriel Eau de Parfum Spray
A perfume bottle is a luxurious gift that you can trust forever. Don’t know which Chanel scent to choose from from a wide selection of heritage brands? Allure Editors do not get enough of the Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum. “It’s elegant and feminine, but also wearable for office and date nights,” says Taglia Gutierrez, former Associate Special Project Manager. “The notes that stand out most for me are jasmine and tube roses, but there are also some orange flowers and a bit of Iran-Iran.
Major Multitasker: No.1 De Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm
No for lovers who don’t make up and make up. Get 1De Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm. Makeup artists and allure editors are obsessed with the way this little pot can easily get the look of that effortless French girl’s washable and blurry lips. That “buttery red camellia oil-infused formula moves easily to my (clean!) ring finger pads, allowing you to tap your cheeks and lips,” says Commerce editor Sarah Han. “It’s a shade, but don’t disappoint a shade like Berry Boost in the pigmentation category.”
Glow-Getter: Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream
Millions of fans have agreed to the Tiktok-Viral Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream. It comes in three great shades that are easy to use and not distorted in the scary orange territory. Instead, clean the temple and cheeks just a few times to give it a coveted post-evasion glow.
“When I say I’m crazy, I’m no joke. I’m coming back to this cream bronzer,” says Shopping Director Shana Shipin. “The texture is different from the rest. It’s silky and lightweight, blends into the skin like a second layer, and is never patchy or striped. Whether you’re using fingers, brushes or sponge, it’s easy to blend, and gives you the warmth that looks the most natural, just like you’re back on the weekend.”
The Thin Genius: Rouge Coco Baum’s Satin Tint Trip Cream
Even a little (like a really good lip balm) can make Mom or Aunt Day. The Rouge Cocobaum satin-colored lip balm comes in nine light shades and is packed with hydrating lips moisturizing sea butter and meadow oil, without stickiness or gloss. Ask Sofia Richie Graing how she wore it on her wedding day. And of course, it comes in a refined white bullet with the Chanel logo turned golden. Pulling this out of your wallet is a big movement.
All Lacquer: Le Vernis Longwear Nail Color
Take it from us – this is not just a cute bottle. The Le Vernis Longwear Nail Color is the best high performance polish and remains tip-free for a week. “There are legends about how you first grab a shade offering, from the perfect nude pink “ballerina” to the typical red “pirate”, but what I’m back is the seasonal shades,” Shipin says. “I used these polishes without a base or topcoat, and I’ve always been impressed by how long they last, even without a protective layer. They just happen to make the perfect present.” One chic stocking stuffing, coming soon.
No counterfeiting required: le volume de chanel mascara
Luxurious mascara can enhance any look, from naked faces to total glamour. The Le Volume de Chanel Mascara doesn’t chunks and doesn’t layer neatly (though in testing I realized that only one coat is enough). It’s not a mistake with the basic black, but for the adventurous people, the dark blue and rich browns can play with.
Absolutely Flush: Juice Contrast Dark Cream to Powder Blush
Mom, who finally hits the bread with her daily blush, thanks her powder blush for the intense cream of the juice contrast. She loves to upgrade to this buttery formula and is made with emollient and sage oil and gives it a second skin vibe. Apply it will dry to powder (read: it will not dissolve in 1 hour). And it’s innocent: “No matter how intense the colour looks in the pot, it applies thinner than expected (even with a relatively dense brush), so I can build it to the level I want, and there’s no risk of sunburn than sunburn,” says Han.
Greater Chanel Gifts We Love:

If she’s all about skincare, she loves to unleash the No. 1 De Chanel experts who will activate the serum duo that will come in a compact red case that stands out in her vanity.

Chance EAU Tendol Body Oil

Chance EAU Tendol Body Oil
Allure Editors first fell in love with Chance Fragrance, which won the Best of Beauty Award 22 years ago. Now we are renewed obsessed with the opportunity for eau endre body oil. There are notes of grapefruit, pine, jasmine and white musk, so it’s a little fruity and a little flowering without being overwhelmed. And the moisturizer leaves a glow behind, which is difficult to beat.
“I’m a huge fan of this gorgeous, sparkly scent,” says Lexi Herrick, senior director of audience development at Allure. “I like the consistency of the oil, because it becomes thinner than a typical perfume and allows the smell to remain mildly on the hands and feet.” As a gift, it is a thoughtful upgrade to their self-care routine they will appreciate for the next few months.

I love the variety of this formula.”
FAQ
How to test and review your product
Before reviewing your makeup, I ask about many factors. What ingredients are there? Does the brand offer a wide shade range, including consumers with all skin tones and undertones? Is it safe for readers with sensitive skin and those who wear contact lenses? Is it on the affordable side or even more splurge? Is the package consciously designed or is it unnecessary to waste?
