Why Hello There! Iโve got some Chanel goodies to review today including one of the new shades of the Le Vernis, and of course, a really beautiful bronzer. I actually had to restock some of my favorite Chanel products like their eyeliners, but I couldnโt resist checking out whatโs new in their beauty department.
First off, I repurchased the Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner ($33). Iโve been using the Pomme de Pin shade which is a very dark black blue tone but it seems like that shade has been long out of stock, so I decided to try and swatch some other colors in-store. I settled on the Espresso color which is the darkest matte brown shade available, and I would have also settled on the Ebene shade had I not known that thereโs a more intense pure matte black color available, the Noir Intense. The reason behind why I picked the Espresso color is that I wanted something that is more for an everyday wear or daywear eyeliner that doesnโt look too sharp, is quite natural and doesnโt have any shimmery effect. And the Noir Intense color is the perfect classic black eyeliner.
Next up is the Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre ($52) in 30 Naturel. This is basically Chanelโs Universal Natural Finish Loose Powder that is very versatile for any makeup or skincare situation. I purchased this as a replacement for my previous Chanel Loose Powder in 40 Dorรฉ which I gave to my sister because it had gone too dark for me. The 30 Naturel shade is the perfect shade for me right now and I am in love with this loose powder so much so because it comes in this hefty tub with a huge puff thatโs so easy and practical to use. I just tap it on the powder and dab some on my face in order to control shine or set my foundation for the day, and it doesnโt leave a white cast. The powder is very soft and smooth and itโs pretty much time-saving to use.
A Chanel haul wonโt be complete without checking out whatโs new in Chanel Beauty. With the Chanel Cruise Collection 2018 being released, thereโs a lot to see, starting with the new shades of the Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour. There was one shade that really drew me, itโs called Chicness ($28) and itโs sort of a nude purple pastel shade. Itโs so pretty and itโs really chic. Wear time is great because I have the color on my nails for more than a week now and itโs still looking great, no chipping so far. Also, this shade really complements my skintone.
This yearโs Les Beiges Collection comes with the limited edition multicolor bronzers which are a sight to behold โ the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Multi-Colour Powder ($58). Each glow bronzer has a stripe of six shades and if Iโm not mistaken, there are one or two shades that look very similar to each other. Nevertheless, itโs so beautiful and so summer-ready. I purchased the Medium which really suits my skin tone very well and its effect is quite subtle but it gives my face a nice natural warm glow and definition. It pulls off as lightly peachy on me which reminds me of the Guerlain Terracotta Light Bronzers (reviewed and swatched HERE). Itโs definitely slightly more pigmented than the La Mer Bronzing Powder (HERE), but itโs not as super pigmented as the Becca Sunlit Gradients (seen HERE). Texture-wise, this Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzer feels very soft smooth and velvety, and it applies nicely to the face. It has a light floral scent and it comes with a round brush applicator.
Bottom line, I love this haul! the Stylo Waterproof Eyeliners are the best and are very reliable as they perform in any weather and in any activity, and they also donโt budge. They donโt irritate the eyes and they come in several beautiful colors. The loose powder is fast, practical and easy to use. Itโs one of my most favorite loose powders of all time simply because itโs very versatile. And who doesnโt love the Chanel Le Vernis? They last a long time and the Chicness color is just pretty. Plus of course, the limited-edition Les Beiges Healthy Glow Multi-Colour Powder will have your heart skipping a beat.
