So a few posts down was my Chanel haul on Sunday, and many of you requested reviews for this so here it is! :D
After wearing it out for a couple of days, i figured it might just be my HG product ;D
Chanel Mat Lumiere
Brand: Chanel
Type: Mat Lumiere
Shade: 30 Cendre
Price: S$66
Sunscreen: SPF 15
Description: CHANEL modernizes matte with a lightweight formula that delivers a soft, natural look with maximum staying power. Medium coverage looks impeccable and shine-free for up to 12 hours.
Product: 5/5
Totallyyyy lovelovelovelovelove this!! I use my mac 187 with it and it totally gives me an airbrushed look, a decent coverage, evens out my skintone and leaves my skin feeling pretty smooth and matte! (: However if you are looking for some heavy coverage this might not be really ideal.. The texture of the foundation is pretty light and never makes my face cakey, plus its really hydrating, so i really love it for that! Oil control wise, it is pretty good and my skin is pretty oil-free for quite long, but then again my skin is not very oily so i cant really comment much on that. Staying power is good, though it does fade off after being out for too long, but it stays pretty much the same throughout the day (: Has an additional spf 15, which i do suppose is good! It smells great too! (:
Price: 4/5
The price is a little steep, but i suppose thats what you have to pay for such a great product :D And i think its cheaper in Singapore than in other places because on the site it listed $54! which, converted to SGD is wayyy more than $66 =/ haha. So im not really complaining! It's really worth the money xD
Would i recommend this?: YES! Definitely (: Do try it out at the counter and see how you like it though!
Would i purchase this again?: HELL YEAH!

Next up, the makeup base i've been using together with Chanel Mat Lumiere:
White Essential Whitening Modeling Effect Base
Brand: Chanel
Type: White Essentiel
Shade: Jade
Price: $72 *gasp
Sunscreen: SPF 30
Product: 5/5
Well as a primer/base i find that this makes my skin feel smooth and primed for my foundation (: Especially since my skin is pink based, which makes me look flushed almost all the time, i use this is Jade which evens out my skintone and makes it look more neutral (: It makes everything look less powdery and more natural, so i really love this (: And the SPF 30 is great, yay! I should also think that this is the product that allows my makeup to last longer as well!
Price: 3.5/5
For such a small bottle, $72 is really expensive. But then you only need to use a little each time, so it should last pretty long.. So.. yeah. Apparently this contains the same amount as the foundation itself, though i dont see how, because the bottle is so much smaller!! Haha ah well. But it's good and you should get it if you dont mind spending the cash, though you could try the other makeup base (i cant remember its exact name) which was $58, but its not tinted or anything. Initially wanted to get that but it went out of stock, so got to try this instead (:
Would i recommend this?: Yep, only if you have redness to cover (: Otherwise either get it in another shade that's more suitable, or the untinted one should work fine too (:
Would i purchase this again?: Yeah why not? (:
I hope these reviews are helpful!! (:
With love,
Jasmine.
