Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear BD11

Latest 2020 Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear has been released. Out of all foundation releases, this one i was most excited about. Seeing as i have the other version, the original healthy glow foundation in the frosted glass bottle. That one, on dry skin days is a bit finicky and sits on the skin a bit. But i do love that on oilier skin days as it doesnt make me oily and stays well. But the shade range in the original healthy glow foundation is a little off. I wore it in B20 and B10. I couldnt get my right shade as they were both neutral pinky based. But with the arrival of the new range, it has yellow undertone. Hip hip horray!

What i can say is that, this one is a winner. It has light medium coverage which i prefer. The texture is thin but not runny. It has the classic Chanel foundation smell to it  which to be honest i also love. This time around, its not a frosted glass but a clear one just like their new 2020 highlighting fluid whih i have in Pearly Glow. Oh by the way, the lid has a beiges top with black CC's which is a LOVE. In general, i truely love the Les Beiges collection every year and so far without fail, i will get at least one item from the collection. But for 2020 despite it not being the best year so far, i went and got the highlighting fluid and now this new foundation from the range. 

I bought it for RM225 which is pretty standard for Chanel foundations. The Eau de Teint water fresh is more expensive at RM264 which comes with a brush. I was matched to B10 and BD11. I could go either way. But according to Zan my Beauty Assistant, B10 ran a bit pink. And i really liked the match BD11. It was not too olivey yellow and not sallow and blended well with my skintone. In fact i think it was the best match so far in the Chanel foundation family. I have tried most and i think this one is THE one. 

So far, it lasts pretty long, doesnt settle in dry spots, actually looks like skin, doesnt get oily on me. Pretty good staying power for something that claims to be hydrating. The best part is that its hydrating and longwearing at once without it being cakey and thick in texture. I think this foundation is going to be liked by many.

Chanel Les Beiges 2019 Les Indispensables palette

Where do i start?

This palette has been highly anticipated by the beauty community for a while before it officially launched in the end of April. It boasts to be the best neutral browns palette of the year. And i am a brown bronzy look lover.

The palette costs RM364 and is the most pricey palette i own to date.

Am i happy with it? Yes. Is it my ride or die, one and only palette, can't live with out it kinda palette...urm to be honest no. But no regrets.

The palette comes in a typical les beiges cream colored casing with a black colored CC.  The palette is mostly cool neutral browns and greyish taupe. The light colors are beautiful shimmers with no glitter particles seen. Then only thing i wish is that they had added a creamy matte cream shade for laying the base or highlighting the brow bone or to soften the browns and 1 warmish mid toned brown.

The browns are super pigmented. No kick up what so ever. In fact some of the shades even feel gel like. The staying power of these shadows are superb with or without eyeshadow primer.

Overall, i am happy with this palette. Can't wait to see what Chanel has to offer for Les Beiges 2020 next year. Well done Chanel for this launch. It tuly is special.

Could this be a dupe for the Chanel Legerete Et Experience Palette?

I've been playing around with my eyeshadow collection and identifying what i reach for the most and i came across how similar some of my Korean individual eyeshadow shades are to my Chanel palette.

Everytime i used the BBIA shadows, i find i tend to create the same if not similar looks i achieved with the Chanel one. Then i got the idea to swatch them side by side. Of course i didnt have the peachy shade on the top left of the palette but usually i hardly use that one on its own. Rather  i would mix the two top colors to create a more subtle creamy peach.

Texture wise, this Chanel palette is super creamy buttery matte and pigmented. As for the BBIA individual shadow  they are more of a slight sateen leaning towards matte and are also super creamy buttery but slightly less pigmented (which is not always bad).

The BBIA shadows i bought from an online store called sky007malaysia. The makeup is almost always on discount which is awesome. Originally priced at RM22.90  i bought them for RM17.70 each after discount. What a bargain. Not only is it a bargain, i get to pick and choose the shades i like.

As for the Chanel palette  it was limited edition and i'm not too sure if its still available. It was priced at RM245. If in any case you missed the boat  fret not. Get the BBIA shadows instead.

Till next time. Toodles and much love ❤

Sephora Collection Midnight Wishes 16 eyeshadow palette 2018

How's your holiday shopping going? Mine has burst its limit with holiday sales and black friday sales. Its crazy! Offers are everywhere..only thing is that unfortunately, i have a limit. Haha. Boohoo

Seeing as i had a Sephora discount card of rm25 off on the Sephora collection i decided to place an order on this palette and the Sephora Glow foundation which i have not had much luck with the wear time of this. But any who, lets leave that for another blog post.

This palette is not a bad palette at all. It would be great for beginners and for those who want a simple no fuss not too pigmented palette for daily use. I for one am quite enjoying it. The shimmers are oh so pretty.  The matte are to my surprise pretty decent and have good color payoff. It may not swatch the best, but with brushesand fingers, the colors work well together and are easy to blend. 

The only draw back arr the three last colors which are patchy and dont have a ton of pigment. Other than that, i'm ok with this purchase. At Rm100 though, i wished that they cut this price down a notch. For those eyeing this palette,maybe get this during the sale if its still available.
