Over the weekend, I went to Sydney’s only Chanel Beauty counter at Sydney City Myer. I’ve read plenty of great reviews about the Chanel Vital Lumiere foundation and I wanted to share my experience.
So I walked in and took a seat, i was greeted by fresh faced Lady. She gave me quick run through on the history of the Beauty Counter and how all the girls there were trained makeup artists. So I was in capable hands.
Instead of leaving with only what I intended to buy, the makeup artists showed me a few other of their “highest Selling Products” , Being the self proclaimed sucker that I am i purchased a few other things that she recommended. Now, bear in mind I don’t usually spend so much money on makeup, but you only have one face and If you can buy a pair of expensive shoes for your feet to walk on the ground? Why not show your face some love also – it will always be the first thing people look at. =)
By the way, remember the taupe nails we all saw at Chanel s/s 2010? Well, the waiting list for the polish is 4 pages long! If you’re after that colour of polish Sportsgirl offers a similar shade with a violet hue to it.
Did you know?
The Chanel Myer Beauty counter offer make up lessons (incl a mini makeover) for $120 – sounds a little dear right? BUT you get to redeem the $120 for Chanel beauty products after your lesson.
Vitalumiere foundation - this foundation has medium coverage so its good when you dont want to wear too much and it looks really natural.
I got a couple of samples as well, love a freebie.
