Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about the limited-edition wicker basket is a unique and charming accessory perfect for summer. — just accept the wicker basket included in the kit is very small and impractical for carrying a modern smartphone..
The reviewer is highly impressed with the new Les Beiges liquid blush in Delice and finds the liquid highlighter in Summer Gleam to be beautiful. While the kit's powder highlighter is too warm for her, she discovers that layering the liquid highlighter over the powder creates a desirable neutral tone. She expresses being "in love" with the blush and appreciates the new product forms.
Michele Wang reviews the Chanel Les Beiges Summer 2026 collection, focusing on the Healthy Glow Summer Essentials Kit and a separate Healthy Glow liquid highlighter. She unboxes the kit, showcases the items, and provides full-face application and swatches of the new liquid blush and highlighting powder.
The Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Summer Essentials Kit delivers a beautiful, natural-looking glow with its standout liquid blush. The liquid blush in Delice offers a gorgeous watermelon pink shade with a flattering satin sheen and peachy-gold undertones, blending effortlessly without drying down powdery. While the liquid and powder highlighters individually presented tone challenges (one too cool, one too warm), they combined effectively to create a perfect custom shade. If you desire a luxurious, luminous summer makeup look, this kit is worth considering, particularly for the exceptional liquid blush. However, if you prefer single-product highlighters that perfectly match your undertone without mixing, you might need to adjust your expectations or look elsewhere.

Upon seeing the Rouge Coco Flash in shade 280 Sweet, the reviewer exclaims, "Look at that shade. Is that not the most perfect La Beige shade? I can't wait to try that out."
The Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Summer Essentials Kit for 2026 features a charming wicker basket with a convertible handle, the new La Beige Healthy Glow Blush in the shade Delice, a Healthy Glow Highlighting Powder with a linen-like imprint, the La Beige Volume and Definition Mascara in black, and a Rouge Coco Flash lipstick in the shade 280 Sweet. The reviewer notes the basket is small and might not fit a phone.
The Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Blush in Delice is a stunning watermelon pink shade with a subtle shimmer. The reviewer found its water-based formula to have a nice, medium texture that applied effortlessly and blended well over other base products. It sets down to a beautiful satin sheen with a peachy-gold glow, earning high praise from the reviewer who described it as "gorgeous" and expressed being "in love" with it.
The Healthy Glow Highlighting Powder in the kit is distinctly gold and yellow-toned, which the reviewer found too warm for her skin. In contrast, the separate Healthy Glow liquid highlighter in Summer Gleam provides a smooth, pearly, cool-toned finish with a pink tinge and no glitter. The reviewer successfully layered the two, applying the powder first and then tapping the liquid highlighter over it, to create a more neutral and customized highlight tone, effectively balancing out the warmth and coolness.
The new Les Beiges Volume and Definition Mascara features a plastic-bristle wand that the reviewer likened to Chanel's Inimitable mascara. She noted a slight stickiness upon application but found that it worked "not bad" and delivered good volume and definition, consistent with her positive experiences with Chanel mascaras in general.
Yes, the reviewer shows screencaps of other products and shades available in the Les Beiges Summer 2026 collection. These include additional liquid blush shades like Sorbet (strawberry red), Nectar (fresh purple), and Fruity (berry). Other Rouge Coco Flash shades like Zesty (tomato red) are available, along with a couple of nail polishes and a Les Beiges eyeshadow. The reviewer passed on the eyeshadow due to past experiences with previous Les Beiges eyeshadows having light and unbuildable pigmentation.
Based on the review, the liquid blush in Delice is highly recommended, with the reviewer stating she is "in love" with its formula and shade. The separate liquid highlighter in Summer Gleam is also praised for its beautiful, pearly finish. While the kit's powder highlighter alone might be too warm for some, the reviewer found a successful method of layering it with the liquid highlighter to achieve a desirable neutral tone. Overall, the new product forms are appreciated, making the collection a strong contender for luxury summer makeup.
