If you checked out my earlier post about the Chanel 2013 Holiday collection (see the link below) I made mention there would be two waves (releases) of products hitting counters. The first wave launched around October 15th and it contained the majority of the holiday products. The second wave launched earlier this week and it contained the coveted eyeshadow palette, Charming (I will have a review of it posted shortly). In addition to the eyeshadow palette, Chanel also launched another Joues Contraste blush in 87 ÉMOTION.
It is a beautiful matte pink blush with a hint of mauve. The texture of the blush is soft and smooth - there was no chalkiness. The application process was effortless and the pigmentation was excellent as well. The staying power was beyond amazing! The blush lasted all day (10-12 hours) with minimal fading.
87 EMOTION is one of the best blushes that Chanel has ever released. So if you are looking for a matte Chanel blush then this is it. There is no shimmer, glitter, sparkle or anything remotely similar - it's a truly matte blush. I was so impressed with this blush that I went back the next day and bought another one. It is definitely a blush to add to the "MUST HAVE" list. I would even go so far as to say it could attain holy grail status in my blush collection.
It currently retails for $43.00 USD and it contains .21 oz. of product.
