chanel beauty buys...


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.


This is the make up base, its supposed to keep your foundation lasting all day. Though i'm not sure its really working for me, it smells divine though.
This shimmer powder is fantastic, it has micro glitter particles that makes your face shimmer but not like you've just put a whole glitter on your face. its great if you want to brighten and slightly whiten your face. This was the last one they had at the time. Apparently its one of Chanel's Best Sellers - particularly in Asia.

I got a couple of samples as well, love a freebie.
