"It" Skincare

The press kit for Chanel’s newest skincare collection, Beauté Initiale, is totally charming with illustrations by Italian erotic comic book creator Milo Manara. The images depict a (full-dressed) comic version of the face of the campaign, Shalom Harlow riding a bike with a little one in tow, strutting her stuff in Chanel duds and

reviewing blueprints with a hunky construction worker.
The best part of the collection of course, is that it seems to work. The eye gel for one, actually diminishes dark circles and puffiness. Beauté Initiale, is aimed at women 25 to 35, who, according to Chanel, don’t worry about their age and wonder if a skin cream is really necessary. Unfortunately – and if you’re in this age-range you know it’s true – this is also when wrinkles start to appear, the circles under your eyes get darker and your skin just doesn’t look at radiant as it used to. Chanel promises to slow the aging process with an Energizing Multi-Protection Fluid and cream, both with SPF 15, a Spray Serum enriched with energy-drink ingredient Taurine and the eye gel.
