Product watch: Your next handbag essential

Whether you want to mattify or shimmer and shine, to fake your lashes, or just slap on sunscreen and go, June’s beauty launches include your next handbag essential. Rachel Marie Walsh reports.

Chanel Reflets d’Été Collection

Chanel’s dreamy summer makeup collection will tempt even “natural” beauties to get some colour on their faces. My favourite products are the Levres Scintillantes Glossimer, €27 each, a foursome of jelly lip glosses that are perfect for the beach. Clash bronze, lavender or copper Illusions d’Ombre Long-Wear Luminous Eye Shadow, €30, with Inimitable Waterproof Mascara, €31, in gold-glazed violet or orange. Le Vernis, €23, turns nails Crayola-bright shades of coral, lilac, orange and fuchsia. On the more subtle end of the spectrum, Le Blush Creme de Chanel in Cheeky, €34.50, is a rosy pink with bronze tint.
