What’s Inside the Boxes? Chanel Fall 2011 Overview

This is a brief post to show you what is inside the Chanel Fall 2011 box that I’ll be reviewing over the coming days.  This is every single piece of the Fall 2011 collection:

Some of you may recall that I had experienced problems with Chanel.com with my Spring 2011 online order (briefly described here).  During my discussions with Chanel customer service, the company offered to send to me an entire collection for that experience.  I was very pleasantly greeted with this shipment as part of the resolution of that issue (in addition to the Gardenia Eau de Toilette referred in the linked post).  Of course, this offer was more than generous on their part. Chanel has earned my utmost respect for first-class service.  Despite my schedule, I feel as though sharing pictures of these items is the right thing for Cafe Makeup to do.

I’m going to start reviewing the Illusion D’Ombre Eyeshadow products first, as there has been so much discussion about them.  In the meantime, please take a look at The Beauty Look Book’s coverage (here and here) to get Sabrina’s analysis.
