N°20 CHANEL LES BEIGES MULTI-ACTION ALL-IN-ONE HEALTHY GLOW FLUID - SWATCHES AND REVIEW


The Les Beiges Multi-Action All-In-One Healthy Glow fluid in N°20 is part of the Chanel Les Beiges Collection. Check out the links below to see some of the other products from the collection. There are six shades with 10 being the lightest and more compatible with pink undertones. The remaining four shades 20 through 60 are varying warm shades of tan with yellow and peach undertones. My Chanel counter at Belk only had live product in the shades of 20 and 30 available. I've heard that Nordstrom already has all five shades so I might stop there later this week to pick up shade 10. Shade 20 which is pictured below is a tad too yellow for my skintone for right now. I try to stay out of the sun but for those times that I do get a tan / burn then this will work. 

The creamy formula dries nicely to a powder finish but it can look cake-y and overdone if applied too heavily. To get the best results make sure the skin is hydrated beforehand and apply in thin layers. It has a nice sheen (no sparkle or glitter) that leaves the skin with a slight radiance / glow. This product can be worn as an all-over color boost to warm up the face or it can be applied to create contours to lend the face more definition. It does come with a protective seal which I love - it lets me know I'm getting fresh product and not something that has already been used. It currently retails for $45.00 USD and it contains 1 fl. oz. of product. It does have a slight scent (similar to Chanel's Hydra skincare products) but with a touch of coco butter mixed in. Don't worry though for those who hate scented anything the scent doesn't linger and quickly fades within 15 to 20 minutes.

GUERLAIN TERRACOTTA SUN CELEBRATION BRONZER / BLUSH - SWATCHES AND REVIEW


Guerlain celebrated the 30th Anniversary of their most coveted and iconic bronzing product with the release of the Terracotta Sun Celebration. This beautiful compact houses a combo bronzer and blush. This multi-tasking and lightweight powder gives the face an all over sun-kissed glow or a nice healthy flush to the cheeks. The Terracotta Sun celebration compact currently retails for $78.00 USD (which is quite expensive) but it contains .56 oz of product so you are definitely getting more product for your money. It can be purchased online or in store at Nordstrom and Sephora.

This is definitely one of those splurge-worthy items to get for the summer. The lightweight powder has build-able coverage with a wear time of seven to eight hours before minimal fading. The compact is not overly chalky, it doesn't enhance the pores and it even works beautifully on dry skin as well. Overall the Terracotta Sun celebration is a good investment piece for your makeup collection.

SOMETHING ABOUT BERRY TOO FACED SWEETHEARTS PERFECT FLUSH BLUSH - SWATCHES AND REVIEW


I had previously purchased the Too Face baked blush in Candy Glow (see the link below to check out my review) and decided to purchase Something About Berry. What can I say, I'm a sucker for pink blushes especially berry colored ones. Something About Berry is a tri-colored shimmer-fest of berry pinks (shimmering mauve pink/ golden peach/ shimmering magenta pink). Although if you peel up the label it says this blush is called Passion Pink??? Hm, I'm sensing a cover up! LOL

The Too Faced blushes are so cute and the packaging, they come in a heart-shaped box, is so adorable! The wear time for this super pigmented blush, Something About Berry, was eight hours before I noticed minor fading. The color still looked bright and intense but was somewhat muted. The Too Faced Sweethearts blushes currently retail for $30.00 USD and contain .19 oz of product. They can be purchased in store or online at Sephora and Ulta.
