I've Got Chanel on the Brain: 16 $100-and-Under Beauty Products I'm Coveting
People tend to think they have to drop an incredibly large sum of money to purchase anything that has the iconic Chanel logo on it. That might be true for fashion (which is why I still haven't purchased one of the brand's Classic Handbags, even though I've been eyeing them for years), but it's not for beauty.
Sure, there are a few Chanel beauty products that we'd call expensive (such as the $195 lipstick Camila Morrone wore to the Critics Choice Awards), but overall, you can snag quite a few gems for $100 and under. I'm talking about such gems as a classic French-girl red nail polish, a perfect nude lip color, and a sophisticated hair mist. Don't believe me? Keep scrolling to see (and shop) the proof!
This hand cream would make for the perfect gift. It has a rich texture and offers eight hours of hydration with iris pallida, May rose wax, shea butter, and glycerin. Plus, its minimalist, egg-shaped packaging looks incredibly chic sitting in your bag.
Not only is this lipstick incredibly comfortable to wear thanks to a hydrating formula, but it also provides the prettiest color and shine. You can't really go wrong choosing any shade, but this pink-beige one is a personal favorite.
Is there anything better to behold than a Chanel eye shadow palette? I don't think so. This one contains four different neutral shades, which makes it a foundational base for any eye look.
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 added color depth and drama.
A lightweight and luxurious body lotion. This smells so elegant with notes of fresh lemon, tangerine, rose, pink pepper, and woody patchouli. It's so delectable, that it just might replace your perfume.
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.
Do you know what's even lovelier than perfume? Hair perfume. It's the best-kept secret to making a scent last. Plus, it's so sophisticated to have each strand of hair linger with scent when it gets tousled in the breeze.
I'll let you in on a little secret: This is one of my all-time favorite Chanel lipsticks. The sheer beige color makes the lips look plump and healthy without screaming, "I'm wearing lipstick!" I first learned about it from Margot Robbie's makeup artist and I've been using it ever since.
Don't sleep on navy blue nail polish, especially when it's this rich shade from Chanel. I like it because it's less edgy than black and even more rich-looking. Consider it an elevated way to wear dark nail polish.
This foaming shower gel is luxuriously scented with Chanel's iconic Coco Mademoiselle. It's the quickest way to make your shower into a high-end, spa-like experience.
Is it just me, or would this make for the chicest gift?
A lovely hair perfume to scent your strands with an iconic Chanel scent.
It's the anti-aging version of the La Crème Main. This formula contains botanical alfalfa concentrate, which is a natural retinol alternative. There's also natural licorice extract to smooth and plump lines and wrinkles and even the skin tone.
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 make a chic topcoat. Use it on bare nails or as a glossy finish to extend your manicure. It's all thanks to moisturizing camellia oil and protective camellia eco-ceramides. Best of all, you only need one coat.
