chanel prettiness

This is a little bit of a 'different' blogpost. Firstly, the pictures are taken with my iPhone. I really couldn't wait to show you these beauties because I'm in love with Chanel, it's probably my favourite high end brand! Secondly, I didn't actually buy these myself. My mom got them for when she leaves on holiday in a few weeks, and she just wanted to treat herself to some brand new Chanel goodies. So it's not my stuff, but it's just so pretty I really wanted to show you!

The first thing she got was the Soleil Tan de Chanel in Sable Rose, and my god, this is probably one of the most gorgeous blushers/highlighters/bronzers I've ever seen! You can use all of the colours separately, or you can blend them all together, which is what my mom usually does. The packaging looks gorgeous- like all Chanel stuff does- and it's just all in all a wonderful product!

The second thing she got was the Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour lipstick in Insouciante (which means carefree). It's the most gorgeous nude pink lippy, and like all Chanel lipsticks, this feels really moisturiser whilst also is pretty longlasting. It comes in a really gorgeous and unique lipstick tube which you need to click on before the lipstick gets out- terribly explained, I know, but you have to see for yourself! You can't see the colour that well in these pictures, unfortunately. She also got a free little make up bag! It's so cute and comes in handy really, really well.

What do you think of these purchases? What are your favourite Chanel products?

Chanel Perfection Lumière long-wear flawless fluid makeup SPF10

 I know, I know- these are an awful lot of pictures, but I felt like I needed to show it to you in all of its full glory. A few weeks ago, I wanted to buy the Chanel Pro Lumière foudnation because I've heard some really good reviews about it, so you can all imagine how disappointed I was when it seemed to be all discontinued. However, I wouldn't let my head hang down, so I decided I to buy the Mat Lumière foundation. I really liked it- it kept my skin from getting oily and breaking out, but it wasn't the right colour for me, it was too yellowish. So when I heard Chanel would bring out the Perfection Lumière foundations, which is supposed to be like the new Pro Lumière, I couldn't wait to try it, so when my Mat Lumière (waw, that's an awful lot of 'Lumières' in one post, haha!) ran out, I happily ran to the Chanel counter to buy myself a brand new flacon of the Perfection Lumière.


Because my skin is, like, very very pale, I asked the lady for some advise, and this time she gave me the right colour - nr. 12 Beige Rosé instead of nr.20 Beige, which is more pink instead of yellow, and the colour is so much better for me! You can't see any foundation lines anymore, which I'm glad of because I think they are sooooo disgusting!


So as you can imagine, I couldn't wait to try it, so I did! The other day, to be exactly, because I don't want to waste any product haha as Chanel is quite expensive haha, greedy me :) So when I did some of the product on my hand, the first thing that struck me was the smell of it. It's perfumed, which I think is not a bad thing 'cause the Mat Lumière didn't smell that good. It smells like Chanel Daycrème, which I absolutely love because it smells really fresh and it's just the smell for me, I guess! So I applied it all over my face, happy because the scent is that good, and it really gave me a good coverage. Not great- it's lighter than the Mat Lumière, which gives slighter more coverage-, but it did the trick for me. I have to say, it makes my skin look a lot more oilier, even when I put my MAC Studio Careblend powder over it, but overall it lasted for a good whole day at school and the oiliness wasn't that bad! I think Mat Lumière is better for my slightly oilier skin and Perfection Lumière is better for the dryer skin.

So what are you all up to this weekend? Got any plans? I've got absolutely nothing to do today, except for revising for my exams, since my parents wouldn't let me spend the weekend with my boyfriend as the absolute twats they are, but tomorrow we will be together for one year so we're planning to do something special and go to the sauna! Afterwards we really want to do something romantic, so any suggestions?

I really hope y'all are having a good and awesome weekend! Sorry for the tad long post - I tend to over-analyse things way too easily, haha ;)
