Marilyn Monroe inspires new Chanel No.5 L’Eau bottle design
Marilyn Monroe graced the cover of Time magazine in April 1952. In the cover article for that issue, the iconic actress was quoted, “Once this fellow says ‘Marilyn, what do you wear to bed?’ So I said I only wear Chanel No. 5.” Sales of the perfume of course skyrocketed right after its publication.

The popular quote has inspired the new, limited-edition Drop bottle exclusively for Chanel No.5 L’Eau–a ‘modern, fresh and vibrant embodiment of the now and forever scent.’ Initially released in 2016 by in-house perfumer Olivier Polge, No.5 L’Eau is dubbed as the ‘modern No.5’ with notes of citrus, cedar, and cottony musk. To match the fresh take on the classic scent, Sylvie Legastelois (Chanel Head of Packaging and Design Creation) went in a completely different direction from the classic bottle. The concept: an ergonomic design with the scent ‘wrapped in a drop of glass.’

The Golden Eyeshadow Palette ($69) is described as ‘a NEW and elevated 15-shade version of her previous original Gold Palette.’ This midi-sized palette includes 7 matte shades in Cream and Pressed Powder finishes, 5 high-shine golden and vivid antique brass Metallics, a nude Sparkling Foiled champagne, a Chroma Crystal topper with a diamond-like finish, and a golden nude Wet Effect formula. You can definitely create Natasha Denona’s signature smokey look with these colors, this time with a touch of rich metallic gold!

The Golden Highlighter Trio ($55) has three highlighters in a new ‘HY-BRID’ formula, a gel to powder that delivers a high-foiled finish. These are designed for use on cheeks, lips, and eyes. The three universally flattering shades are Pearl (soft golden champagne), Sunglow (nude gold), and Bronze (golden bronze).

Rounding up the Golden collection is the Golden Glimmer Gloss ($29). The clear formula has iridescent golden sparkles, and delivers the benefits of a lip oil and a lip plumper. It hydrates, plumps the lips with a subtle tingle, and leaves a high-shine mirror finish.

Fenty Hair
Fans worldwide were surprised a couple of days ago when Rihanna dropped a teaser on Fenty’s newest lineup: hair products. And it makes so much sense! She has sported so many hairstyles and hair colors throughout her music career. “Hair has always been very personal to me,” she says in a video on the Fenty website.

“I wanted to create a lineup of products that were easy to use, and included repair in every step,” she continues. No specifics on the collection just yet, but Riri shares in the teaser video that products are designed for all hair types. Fenty Hair officially drops on June 13th, but Fenty subscribers can catch early access on June 10th. Check out the Fenty website for more details.
