People tend to think that they have to pay an incredibly large amount of money to buy something that has the iconic Chanel logo on it. That may be true for fashion (which is why I still haven’t bought any of the brand’s Classic Handbags even though I’ve been eyeing them for years), but it’s not true for beauty.
Sure, there are a few Chanel beauty products we’d call expensive (like the $195 lipstick Camila Morrone wore to the Critics Choice Awards), but overall you can find quite a few gems for $100 and under. I’m talking gems like a classic red nail polish for French girls, a perfect nude lip color, and a sophisticated hair mist. Do not you believe me? Keep scrolling to see (and shop) the proof!
Chanel
Hand cream with rich texture
This hand cream is the perfect gift. It has a rich texture and provides eight hours of hydration with iris pallida, May rose wax, shea butter and glycerin. Plus, the minimalist, egg-shaped packaging looks incredibly chic in your bag.
Chanel
Rouge Coco Flash Hydrating Vibrant Shine Lip Color in Immediately
This lipstick is not only incredibly comfortable to wear thanks to a moisturizing formula, but also provides the most beautiful color and shine. You really can’t go wrong when choosing any shade, but this pinky-beige is a personal favorite.
Chanel
Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in Chiaroscuro
Is there anything more beautiful to look at than a Chanel eyeshadow palette? I do not think so. This contains four different neutral shades, making it a basic base for any eye look.
Chanel
Black Allure mascara
A mascara that does it all, this formula provides volume, length, curl and definition. It’s enriched with provitamin B5 to protect lashes, and the formula even contains an imperceptible hint of red for extra color depth and drama.
Chanel
Le Vernis Longwear nail polish in pirate
This iconic red nail polish is one of my all-time favorite shades to wear, no matter the season or situation. It’s eternally chic.
Chanel
Chance Eau Tendre Hair Mist
Do you know what’s even more beautiful than perfume? Hair perfume. Making a fragrance last is the best-kept secret. Plus, it’s so advanced that every strand of hair is left with a scent when it gets tangled by the wind.
Chanel
Rouge Coco Flash Moisturizing vibrant shine lip color in boy
I’ll let you in on a little secret: this is one of my all-time favorite Chanel lipsticks. The sheer, beige color makes lips look full and healthy without screaming, “I’m wearing lipstick!” I first heard about it from Margot Robbie’s makeup artist, and I’ve been using it ever since.
Chanel
Long lasting nail polish in Fugueuse
Don’t sleep on navy blue nail polish, especially if it’s this rich shade from Chanel. I like it because it is less sharp than black and looks even richer. Consider it an elevated way to wear dark nail polish.
Chanel
Chance scented hand creams
The perfect gift for someone you love (or for yourself!). This hand cream trio contains a hand cream scented with Chanel’s Chance fragrance, Chance Eau Tendre and Chance Eau Fraîche. You can mix and match them depending on your mood.
Chanel
N°1 Revitalizing mask from De Chanel
This face mask contains red camellia extract, red camellia oil and alpha hydroxy acids. Together, these ingredients exfoliate, minimize signs of aging and refine the appearance of pores and skin texture. Take this as a sign to treat yourself (and your skin) to a luxurious at-home treatment.
Leave it to Chanel to take a nail treatment and make it chic. This can be used on bare nails or under another polish as a base coat. Immediately after application, the nails feel harder and look smoother. After a month it will lead to stronger, shinier nails. It’s all thanks to camellia oil, which moisturizes; cellulose, which fills irregularities on the surface of the nails; and natural mineral pigments, which neutralize discolorations. It’s essentially a fading primer for your nails.
