An Evening with Chanel

November 15, 2017

With the first snowfall of the year in Chi-town marked off our checklists, it’s safe to finally say ’tis the season! The busyness of winter festivities calls for the ultimate beauty prep, and thanks to Chanel at Bloomingdales – Caitlin, Danielle, and their blogger girl gang are now ready to take on their next holiday-themed soirée.

Caitlin and Danielle launched off the night with matching outfits as usual – the tops are from Fab’rik, and the skirts are by T + J Designs. Their heels are Rebecca Minkoff.

Of course, no event is complete without serving some gourmet munchies, and Olive Mediterranean Grill did just that! Our cocktail hour needs were also fulfilled once again with Crazy Beautiful Wines. Because you can’t have a makeup party without a little rosé and some lipstick-stained glasses on the side.

Our lovely evening of beauty magic was done with the expertise of Chanel’s very own makeup guru, Heath Fedele. Heath guided us throughout the entire process, from cotton pad secrets in the makeup-removing process to getting our skin smooth, revitalized, and all glammed up. We got all the deets and tricks to using the Sublimage collection – like how one pump is all you need to get the most out of your product! And last but not least, we learned Heath’s holy grail that he “can’t live without” is *drumroll please* Sublimage L’Essence.

A common misconception about luxury is that it isn’t accessible. It certainly is! Did you know that there is a secret Facial Room at Chanel Bloomingdales in the 900 Shops? When you become a customer, this service is complimentary!

We’re all meant to love and appreciate the skin we’re in, and luxury is definitely an investment to consider. This line may or may not be something we’ll consider adding to our Christmas lists this year…

At the end of all the fun, everyone got to take home their very own goodie boxes, filled with the most a-doll-able Chanel products that we can’t wait to get our hands on. We’d like to thank Contrary Makeup Artist and all the beauties at the Bloomingdales Chanel counter once again for helping us host this one-of-a-kind event!

The Blogger Babes who got all dolled up:

  • @101ThingsILove
  • @AmeeraK
  • @FarhFromOrdinary
  • @JulzChez
  • @MarlenaBegier
  • @RedSolesAndRedWine
  • @TheFashionDailies

We invite all you Dolls to mark your calendars because Chanel at Bloomingdales will be offering a full line of exclusive fragrances on December 9th, for one day only. Chanel is taking appointments for each customer, and this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss!

Once upon a time... there were two best friends that lived in a Dollhouse. That's where the story began. While the pages of this digital storybook keep turning, one thing remains the same. Caitlin and Dani are by each other's side through the ups, downs and all the realness in between.
