The All-Things Chanel Makeup, Skincare & Fragrance Thread

Chanel Beauty has a new creative director, finally...

i hope this means that they will re-issue past colours. most other brands i am sick of their re-promos - chanel is not one of them.

^Yeah, they should have done that when Peter left.

Has anyone used Perfection Lumiere Velvet? I went to reorder Perfection Lumiere from Nordstrom last night, and for some reason they didn't have it (looks like it hasn't been discontinued), I ordered Velvet instead. It appears to be per the description more tailored to my skin type, so I guess we'll see ... not too crazy about the all-black packaging vs. the glass bottle I'm used to.

I love the bottle on the aqua and the velvet! I've been using the aqua one for a few years and now I feel like the glass bottles are really big and clunky (if clunky is a word).

I have only had a sample of the velvet one, and the only difference I noticed (except the more matte finish, obviously) was that the velvet seemed a tad darker. That might just be the B10 though.

Your clunky is my substantial

Thanks, I will watch the color ...

It could possibly also be due to evaporation/thickening experienced with the sample??

Possibly, or it might just be the beige-range. I read somewhere online that the foundation shades are not uniform between the different types of foundations. Chanel likes to make our life difficult, I think...

Ugh ... I believe this is the only one of their foundations I've ever used. I have to have a pink tint ... I use Beige Rose 12. I can always exchange if it doesn't work ... but let's hope I don't have to Hate it when items pop back onto my to-do list

I've been using it for about two years now (I think) and I absolutely love it!

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Have just started using it (took me awhile to finish the old bottle), and I love it too! 'Velvet' is right ... it seems to be part primer, and goes on really smoothly, but doesn't clog my pores like actual primers do. I miss the measured pump--it worked exactly right. I also notice my skin doesn't look as oily (glowy ) as the day goes on. The color is also fairly identical, allowing for the difference in texture (I think that's the only reason it looks at all different). I love it and will stick with it ... glad I was forced to try it!

Rouge Allure Ink looks really promising. As I love matte lipsticks but my lips aren't always in top condition (especially during winter ) they might be just right for me. Not sure about the shades though, they look very saturated and summery.

I'm very curious about those too
