Sneak-Peek: Chantecaille L’Elephant Palette Fall 2012

Chantecaille, how much do I love you? Like, really. My mind was literally read not once but twice by this wonderful company. I will start off by saying something I've mentioned before but basically, I collect makeup with a South Asian theme. Things like tigers, peacocks and elephants are my weaknesses, basically. And Elephants are animals I am obsessed with regardless and would totally keep as a pet if the space (and law) allowed, ahem.

Back to Chantecaille again! I just got news about their Fall 2012 collection and this collection's standout? A palette with ELEPHANTS! Elephants will always have a special place in Pakistani/Indian culture and being one of my favorite animals, I am beyond thrilled.




I reviewed the other South Asian-esque themed palette with tigers here. That palette featured the Bengal tiger and the upcoming palette (in the form of a quad also) will feature African elephants embossed on shades in cream, green, brown and a copper. As with all Chantecaille embossed palettes, they usually support a very good cause. In this case,  Chantecaille will be donating 5% of the proceeds to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in order to help protecting African elephants from poachers. And from what I have read from other blogs, each palette will come with a QR code so you can choose to ADOPT one of the orphan elephants! You'll get a profile and photos and will be given access to the Keeper's Diary so you can monitor and stay "connected" with your elephant. *heart melts* How amazing is that? I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a release...

This quad will retail for £74.00/$116 and is set to release in Fall, September 2012.

  3. Hi Maria, this is my first time bumping into your blog and I like it :D
    I went to Thailand last week and there were so many elephants there, this palette makes me remember how smart can an elephant be. Thanks for your updates and looking forward for your swatch soon :)
