Reviews: Chanel Mat Lumiere Foundation and White Essential Whitening Modeling Effect Base

By xbeanie · September 30, 2009 · 10 Comments · 82 Views

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.

Help! Eye brushes (:

By xbeanie · September 28, 2009 · 12 Comments · 93 Views

Hey guys, im thinking of getting the 217 and 239 brushes, as a beginner. The only eye brush i have is the 226. Are these 2 brushes good choices?

I'm planning to just get 2 or 3 brushes and spend the rest on my Prep+Prime translucent powder and Style Black stuff! :D

So.. What do you guys think?

And do you think the 214 brush is worth getting? Or can it be replaced with other brushes, and with what?

This is the 214 brush (it's coming out with the Style Black collection, and its LE)

Picture credits to Temptalia (:

 

And i asked the MUA at MAC Taka, she said Style Black will most probably be out on 3rd Oct or thereabouts. (:

Thanks in advance guys! <3

Virgin Chanel Haul

By xbeanie · September 27, 2009 · 20 Comments · 78 Views

CHANEL! <3

YAY (: Finally gotten down to trying out liquid foundations!! Heh i've been meaning to try out some, after i got scared away by the MAC ones the other time and had a bad impression on liquid foundations, because i thought all liquid foundations would end up cakey and fake ):

Soooo, i wanted to try out MakeUpForEver and Chanel's ones the most. Couldnt decide between them, so i tried out the Chanel one first, then went over to Taka's Sephora to try the MUFE ones.. Well i ended up choosing Chanel because:

1. The MUFE one chalked me up and made me look.. um. just horrible. Like i have a white cast on my face. And it makes my skin look powdery and drier than it actually is, compared to Chanel's one which looked pretty flawless when i tried it on, plus its hydrating! (:

2. Chanel at Paragon (or rather the entire Metro) was having a 20% credit rebate, thus it was generally more worth it. (:

Didn't know that Metro at Paragon was having the 20% thing until i walked pass it just now, so i decided to try out the Chanel foundations hahah lucky! (:

Well these two cost quite alot i must say. The makeup base actually i wanted to get the normal one, not this one (this one is tinted green) but that was out of stock! ): anyway that was like $58, and this tinted one with spf 30 cost me like, $72! Rahh. But i got the tinted green one because my face is pink based, and gets me a flush pretty easily.. So i guess this will probably be good too (: and the spf, haha especially when i really dont bother about the sunscreen =/

Okay yep so these are basically what i got:

Chanel Mat Lumiere Fluid Foundation! Shade 30 (: $66

 

Chanel White Essentiel in Jade (make up base), $72

 

Yay!! So thats my first haul from Chanel <3 but they cost alottttt, so yeah. And its my first ever liquid foundation!! (:

Retail therapy indeed ! :D

Let me know if you guys need anything!

 

With love,

Jasmine<3

(p.s. mugging starts tomorrowwww grr)

YAY (:

Okay so make up:

Ed Pinaud Eyeshadows from L'Officiel Magazine xD heh how could i miss them, right! I got them in Black and White at first, (saw Green and Blue but i didnt really want them), but there wasnt Rose Brown when i was at Kino! So Chantana helped me get them yay thanks girl (:

Prettyyyyy (:

Okay yeah next is the MAC Studio Sculpt Concealor and the 195 concealor brush! (: totally <3 them heh.

Hmm i bought them at Taka's MAC, and the MUA helped me choose a shade, nw20 (: heh im always a little scared of her but she's always the one that attends to me when im there! xD

anddd a close up of 195!

and then i got some random stuff like:

OPI Nail Polishes! :D YAY they're pretty colors!

From left: Creative Solar Oil, OPI Suki Skies in the Pyrenees, OPI No Room for the Blues, OPI Give Me Moor!, OPI Play 'Til Midnight :D

Anyway the colors are lovelaaaayyyy i cant wait to try them out after exams! (: HEH.

Oh and i got this too, because its cheap (like $3+ at watsons) and cuz of the many raves and reviews on it:

Hazeline Snow Cream!

I officially call it my Spam Cream, just because i spam it everyday and it feels nice and matte HAHA.

Burts Bees Pomegranate and Soy Conditioner! Because my Silkpro one ran out and i wanted to try this (:

and Liese Hair Cocktail! (: From watsons. It smells amazing, i tell you. And it really moisturizes the hair! I like (:

Oh and X-ed Out Cream from Strip, Ministry of Waxing heh (: To prevent ingrown hair!

And it's expensive stuff! Was $40 over bucks, for a smaller than palm size container :/ it's only 14.2g omg! but it works, so..... yeah. hahaha. :/

So thats all! (:

Okay actually i do still have NYX round lipsticks that i ordered from a spree 2-3 months ago that arrived a couple of weeks back, but im too lazy to blog about that nowwww since i wanna do some swatches and stuff for you guys! Andddd i did a couple of swaps recently (and that includes Mya's Bare Study Paint Pot! yay) and another that im still waiting to arrive. First time i did swaps, so exciting !! xD HAHA and i got to meet Mya for the first time! (:

It's 11.20pm and im tiredddd. And tomorrow's another mugging day (and i'll probably be at Ion again! haha)

Hope you guys like this post andddddd let me know if you have any requests for reviews or anything, i should be able to do some for you guys after my exams! (WHICH WILL END THIS FRIDAY!!! damn, i cant wait.)
