I have my reservations about the brand (some of you might know that I generally do not like "give back" kind of marketing, and the brand's logistics and price strategy tend to fall short for me to fully embrace it as my favorite luxury beauty brand). However, I gotta say this is a gorgeous collection and a successful foray into Fall 2026 makeup season.

As I said, I don't like it when a brand marks up the price for the name of "giving back", but for the record, the Selenkay Conservancy seems to be doing an excellent job, and I love the majestic lion designs and themes. I just wish we could see how much is given for the noble cause more transparently. 

Chantecaille Lion Collection features a single blush, 3 single eyeshadows, 2 lipsticks, and 1 eyeliner, and the formulas and color story are rather excellent. I am quite happy with what I picked up from this collection.
