LE COTON by Chanel Sells for $20

Sure, Chanel is a high end, luxurious fashion brand, but really? $20 for cotton pads? All for two overlapping C’s, which happen to be the classy logo of CoCo Chanel. I must admit…some things are worth the splurge, like their Chanel lipsticks…foundation…bags…but a cotton pad?  Sorry, a bit absurd and a lot of inappropriate.

What makes them so special?  These are no ordinary cotton pads, they’re made from the cotton-y fibers of no less than three different continents. Here’s what the item description reads:

CHANEL brings the highest-quality cosmetic cotton pads to the U.S., lending pure luxury to a woman’s daily cleansing and toning ritual. LE COTON is an exquisitely soft tri-layer pad developed in Japan: its outer lining, made from delicate, handpicked Egyptian cotton, and its inner filling, comprised of lightly entwined, elastic Australian fibers. Combined, this ultra-absorbent, lint-free composition increases the effectiveness of CHANEL Cleansers and Toners, treating even the most sensitive skin to unparalleled gentleness. Each LE COTON pad is generously sized and delicately embossed with the world-renowned CHANEL logo.

Now…do you think this is absurd or awesome? Would you buy them? Love them as a gift? Let us know!
