Q&A in Jyväskylä, Finland
Tell us the brief history of Chanel Camellia.
The blossoms debuted the first appearance in 1913 at Coco Chanel’s N° 31 Rue Cambon apartment, Paris. Requiring 25 petals to create the iconic Chanel camellia brooch or shopping bag deco, camellias originate in Eastern and Southeast Asia and are a symbol of longevity and faithfulness; while in the West, known for its perfect symmetry, camellia symbolise desire, passion and refinement. Coco Chanel was given the very first camellias bouquet by her polo-playing lover, Boy Capel, she started pinning silk versions on her lapels or hair, therefore, the camellia has becoming her favourite synonymous motif of love.
How do you choose weekend trip cosmetic sac?
For the weekend trip, all I need is a 15x 10x 3 cm lamb skin Chanel sac de maquillages, since its light weight sewn with beige camellia puffy polyester lining, the cosmetics or skincare in travel size I carry, will have less chance of collision. The extra pocket is the best place of the eyeliner brush, rubber bands or 2ml tube eau de parfum.
✔GÜLSHA Rose Elixir to smooth and shine the skin is one of my favourite organic skincare products, only a few drops on freshly washed forehead, cheeks and chin, and massage approximately 3 minutes, the formula equals to the moisturizing facial mask sheets. Made in Turkey, rich in antioxidants and vitamins, high in Omega 3,6,9 essential fatty acids, GÜLSHA products are free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oils, alcohol, propylene glycol, synthetic colorants and synthetic perfumes. The 3ml travel size of rose elixir I purchased together with 100% natural rose water, are perfect together to mix and match before bed time or makeup moments.
✔CHANEL Rouge Allure Ink #152 Choquant owns liquid matte effects, 6ml with rather petite applicator, its intense and dense pigments, it instantly and weightlessly fuses with the lips for a long lasting, around 7 hours on my lips. Composed of jojoba oil and sappan wood and Vitamin E derivative, the rouge is never unnoticed, but also comfort and supple on the kisses.
✔CHANEL dimensions mascara #10 Noir 1.5g, two-stage eye-liner brush and BOBBIE BROWN long-wear gel eyeliner at Black Ink hue are always easy to go on weekend trip or just daily commuting.
✔CHAO&EERO bubble rings, designed by Taiwanese and Finnish design duo, made of Japanese fresh water pearls and 18K gold always give the casual but feminine touch on my fingers.
✔Rubber bands and hairpins are the best hair accessories to restyle the hair. I always restock them when I revisit Taiwan or Japan.
✔CHANEL CC logo earrings are my irresistible dreamy items. This AW20 design makes the glass pearls attached at the corners of logo, while the crystals highlight the most part of the alphabet.
✔Made in Denmark, in size 30x60mm, MEDIQ alcohol swab with 70% isopropyl alcohol is always one of the lovely mini treat from a Taiwanese friend of mine. This hygiene necessity is good to do the instant cleaning the fingers before dining, also the great tool to disinfect the poles of earrings. Size doesn’t matter, care really does.
✔The mini eyebrow brush made in South Korea is surely one of my restock items when I pay a visit at drugstores during Taiwan trip.
✔AVÈNE Eau thermal rehydrating serum intense can be applied as base of face cream, 5ml tube is adequate amount during weekend trip, and mix a drop of GÜLSHA Rose Elixir, the rashness will forever wave farewell.
✔VIKTOR&ROLF Flower Bomb Bomblicious Body Cream in 15ml nude pinkish tube is the best freebie while purchase Flower Bomb Eau de Parfum, which envelops my body skin with a delicious scent of sambac jasmine and patchouli.
✔ATTRAPE-RÊVES (Dream Cather) launched in September 2018 by Jacques Cavallie, its top note with bergamot, ginger and lychee, heart of peony, cocoa flower and Turkish rose and base on patchouli essence, is amazingly balanced together with oriental spicy fragrance for men, L’IMMENSITÉ. Both top notes share the same scents except grapefruit, while L’IMMENSITÉ’s mid-notes found rosemary, sage and geranium, and base notes smell of labdanum, amber and ambroxan. LOUIS VUITTON 2ml samples are fun and chic to mix and match both in feminine and masculine sniff during the relaxing weekend holidays.
✔Made in Japan, the single package cotton swab duo is essential to clean the smoky eyeliners, disinfect the ears and other cosmetic tools.
✔ALLERGAN Refresh Plus carmellose sodium eye drops are disposable daily needs for the instant cure.
✔CHANEL Hydra Beauty Crème and LE LIFT eye cream are perfect for normal or dry skin. The sizes in 5ml and 3ml tubes are the best travel companions.
✔CHANEL Nourishing mascara base is ophthalmologist tested, which is suitable for contact lens wearer as I am. This new version of mascara contains meadow foam oil derivative, to repair and strengthen the eyelashes and enhance the volume.
✔DIOR Flash Luminizer #002 is inspired by the lighting techniques used by DIOR BACKSTAGE makeup artists, with a single or double clicks, the booster pen not only can sculpt facial contours, highlight and correct signs of fatigues, brighten the eyes but also enhance the complexion. Recommended by my professional makeup artist friends at Taipei Dior Backstage, is my favourite carry-on immediate foundation. Slightly pressed by Dior puff from Forever Couture Perfect Cushion, my base makeup is easy to complete within 5 minutes.
✔樁油仕上つげhandcraft wooden hair comb is the cute souvenir from Kyoto, Japan. The woody scent from the masterpiece and the fine-calculated comb teeth massage the scalp smoothly whenever I brush, are boosting my favour toward Japanese craftsmanship.
✔KANEBO LISSAGE Deep Clean Powder 0.4g capsule contains enzymatic immediately lathers into fine bubbles, which remove dead skin cells, excess sebum, and other impurities, while also protecting the moisture of the skin. Usually I use twice per capsule, and since it’s disposable design, it will also reduce the weights of camellia sac at the end of trip.
