67 CHAMADE LE BLUSH CREME DE CHANEL - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Lately I've been on a major spending spree when it comes to cream blushes. They are perfect for dry skin, they are extremely easy to apply and they can perk up the skin with just a few swipes! The latest creation to hit counters is the Chanel 2014 Spring collection - Notes De Printemps. The collection first started popping up online and at counters right before Christmas and should now be available at all major department store counters within the next week. The collection consists of two lovely creamy blushes: 67 Chamade and 68 Intonation which is limited edition.

67 Chamade is described as a deep pink cream to powder blush. Although just from swatching the blush it seems to lean a little more pink-ish red. The formula for the cream blush seems a little on the dry side compared to previous Chanel cream blushes. It is really nothing too significant but it will make a difference during the application process. There will be less time to control the blush and an extra smidgen of moisturizer may be necessary for better manageability. The blush currently retails for $38.00 USD and it contains .09 oz of product.

I purchased 63 Revelation from Nordstrom because my local Chanel counter at Belk never got the tester in. I wasn't sure I would like it but so far it is working out really great. It is described as a soft warm pink blush and I can definitely see the warm peachy tones throughout it. For application I use either my ring finger or a stippling brush to apply and blend it in. The lasting power of 63 Revelation is similar to 66 Fantastic - a solid six to eight hours of wear time with some slight fading after the six hour mark.

I also purchased 65 AFFINITE and I'll post swatches and my thoughts on it later this week so check back for it.

Check out my review and swatches of 66 FANTASTIC.

66 FANTASTIC LE BLUSH CREME DE CHANEL

66 FANTASTIC - burgundy (limited edition)

I was able to purchase 66 FANTASTIC from Nordstrom.com. This new limited edition creme blush is one of the six new LE BLUSH CREME DE CHANEL from the Chanel Fall Superstition collection. The remaining five are to become part of Chanel's permanent line of blushes. Besides Fantastic, I also wanted to purchase 65 AFFINITE but it's no longer on the Nordstrom website. Hopefully I'll be able to purchase it on the Chanel website or from my local counter. For now though, I am extremely happy with Fantastic.

66 FANTASTIC is described as a burgundy colored blush but it seemed more like a bright raspberry pink (check out the swatches below). This creme blush goes on smooth and was extremely easy to blend out on my cheeks (see the last two pics below). It has a smooth feel and finish and I didn't notice any waxy or greasy residue. The blush is extremely pigmented so I only applied a light application and the color was still amazing. Since I applied such a light application I used my ring finger to blend out the blush instead of a makeup brush. Although one can be used, I preferred to use my hand and the warmth to help blend in the blush. The lasting power for the blush is dependent on how heavily it is applied. The blush soaks into the skin but if a heavy application is used then there is a chance for smudging or smearing. Overall the results from this creme blush are amazing. I am definitely going to purchase more.
