Be Naturally Beautiful with Chantecaille
Sylvie Chantecaille should be a household name, but she’s not. She started her own brand of skincare, cosmetics, body care and fragrance in 1997 after working for Estee Lauder as the creative director and senior VP for Prescriptives.As the success of both brands attest, Chantecaille is a wizard when it comes to all things beauty. The philosophy of the Chantecaille line is about creating holistic (read more natural) beauty products with high quality organic ingredients. When you purchase a Chantecaille product, you know it’s a product of exceptionally high quality and provides you silky textures and natural tones that will enhance what you have while subtly camoflauging the minuses. The skincare, the fragrances, the body products and the cosmetics all adhere to this high standard of cosmetic excellence.
As summer quickly approaches, changes in skincare and cosmetics are required to cope with heat and humidity and changes of climate due to vacations. Turn to Chantecaille products for amazing products that do more than promise–they deliver!
Treating skin well during the summer yet helping it adjust to changing temperatures is a key task. Chantecaille’s Bio-Dynamic Lifting Oil-Free Fluid will make a difference in your skin–regardless of your age. This oil-free liquid helps mattify skin so that oily skin will look flawless. This anti-aging moisturizer is the first of its kind to target blemish-prone and oily skin. Finally someone realizes that those with oily or combo skin can get lines too! This very effective treatment features natural, good-for-the-skin ingredients and will help energize and re-activate sluggish skin to spur regeneration. If you spend any time in the sun or harsh climate; find yourself squinting at the monitor (like moi!) or lead a stress-filled life (those who don’t please don’t tell us!) , your skin takes a beating and those little lines aren’t just from having fun! This fluid will help erase lines and wrinkles while controlling oily or break-out prone skin. Remember a little goes a very long way! ($250.00)
Should you need to conceal blemish marks, spots, dark circles, reach for the Bio-lift Concealer to cover and correct seamlessly. Sounds unbelieveable huh! This concealer offers more than traditional concealers. It has a core of Hexapeptide–that miracle peptide that relaxes the facial muscles and skin to ease the lines and wrinkles while erasing dark circles and spots thanks to the botanically enriched colored concealer. The creamy texture makes it easy to use. The slim silver case makes it easy to carry or stash in a desk. ($62)
Whether you use a foundation, tinted moisturizer or go naked into the world (naked of make-up that is!), you should have a little color on your face. If you have used the first two products (they have covered all the spots, mattified the skin and made you look flawless), you might not need much more than an application of sunblock (Sunforgettable anyone? ) and a smidge of color to your cheeks to brighten face and eyes. My choice is easy: Aquablush sticks from Chantecaille. Reaching for the Aquablush happens to be my new addiction! ( Yes, even I get addicted to stuff. ) This cooling stick of sheer blendable color is better than any previous stick blush you have used and it feels silky soft and sooooooo cooling. (hello NYC!! Rush out and buy a couple of these babies). No matter which color you choose, you will love these water-rich blush sticks that slick on easily and leave this super sheer, super-hydrating color that is slighty lustrous without being oily. It blends like a cream yet provides hydration throughout the day. Available in Radiance (pink shimmer highlighter); Luminous (soft delicate mauve tone) and Frivilous (a slightly tan peachy tone), each is a luscious color and works particularly well on dry skin but also can hydrate acne prone skin without causing breakouts ($38.00)

Sylvie Chantecaille is very particular about the products she creates and the products she sells. While she may spend an enormous amount of time and money on a product, if it’s not perfect, it’s not released to you or me to buy. Yes, she’s picky but that’s a good thing! Her knowledge and expertise means that the quality will be there in that product. Until now, Chantecaille has never had a mascara in the cosmetic line. For six long years Sylvie would work on mascaras but was was never happy with the different versions that she would create–until now! The Chantecaille Mascara is remarkable for more than just its unique rose-scented fragrance. (yes, it really does smell like roses and it does not irritate at all! Stevie tested and Stevie approved!) . It’s innovative for more than just the fragrance. Chantecaille has provided a non-clumping lengthening formula (almost an oxy-moron till now). You get long fluttery lashes that won’t smudge or smear. The flexible formula allows lashes to bend and not break and the finish is slightly glossy for a flirtatious effect. Add in the anti-bacterial factor to the beauty equation and you have a mascara miracle. I love my Chantecaille mascara so much that it’s almost gone! I am a mascara "ho" and this is a great little product that I will be buying again and again! ($32.00)
You can find Chantecaille products at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Barneys NY stores as well as NeimanMarcus.com
