I’m crossing my fingers that sunny days are here to stay. As much as I love the sun, protection is key – but a pale complexion is definitely less than desired especially during those oh so short summer months. Part of the Yves Rocher Limited Edition Nymphes Collection, the Sunny Tri-Powder compact is the perfect palette to put some colour into my cheeks. A perfectly complimentary trio of shades is the key to giving you that perfect sunny complexion even after the sun has long set.

GS Approved: Most bronzers I’ve tried come in bulky containers which are not idea for travel. I love how flat and compact this palette is making it a breeze to take anywhere – I can touch up throughout the day and no one will ever know my sun-kissed glow isn’t from the sun!

 
Inspiration: Since this product is so compact it’s the perfect fit for these fabulous Chanel purses which have been on my wish list forever! Some day I’m sure I’ll be lucky enough to own a classic flap or something in a fun colour, but until then I can enjoy creating inspiration sets on www.polyvore.com.

I hate cleansers that leave my skin tight and dry, but after a day of applying sunscreen, tinted moisturizer, bronzer and more, using a cleanser is a must. Chanel Mousse Confort Rinse-Off Foaming Cream Cleanser is the perfect way to remove the day’s make-up and other impurities without over-drying your skin. It lathers up into a rich cream and rinses off without any residue, leaving your face fresh and blemish-free. Plus, it’s Chanel…who doesn’t love a bit of indulgence in their beauty routine?

GS Approved: Arum lily extract has moisturizing properties, so when you rinse off the cleanser, your skin is left supple and soft.

Inspiration: The face of Chanel, Keira Knightley, always looks fresh-faced. Use this creamy cleanser to get glowing, clear skin.
