Chanel Vitalumiere !!

I love Chanel. I love the way its packaged. I love how they consistently bring out amazing products and I love how even if you don't follow fashion or beauty chances are you know who Coco Chanel is.



I've been wanting to try out some new foundations, I've been using the Rimmel Wake me up all year and I still really really like it {C'mon It's full of  sparkles; Whats not to like!} But you know when your foundation almost becomes a bore to use and it's just another bottle on your counter? That's when I know its time to go shopping! 


Purchasing this was such lovely experience! I'd never actually brought anything from a Chanel counter before! Gasps all round !!  It's sad I know but the only other Chanel products I own are lipsticks and I've always brought them online. I was so,so impressed with how friendly the assistant was and how gentle she was when she applied it. 




The foundation itself is gorgeous! It has quite a runny consistency which makes it so easy to work into the skin and a little goes such a long way! I use not-even one pump and it gives enough to cover my entire face flawlessly. Its so good that I wouldn't even bother with concealer for those lazy days, as it covers my overly rosy checks to perferction!  It is a dewy foundation so it doesn't suit everyone but I really love the finish that it gives. Another big plus is that it has such a pleasant smell, I've actually had people comment on how nice I smelt! I didn't have the heart to tell them it was just my foundation, far to polite for that!! I have to say it {and hopefully I won't jinx myself} but to me, this is the perfect foundation. I love, love, love it !!!

  1. I really want to try this as I love dewy foundations! There's definitely something quite special about Chanel, I agree with you there! xx

    1. Its beautiful but it's quite a splurge and not something that you'd want to go to waste :) I'd definitely recommend going to a Chanel counter first and getting a sample just to be absolutely sure!!

    2. Yeah, I definitely wouldn't buy it without trialling it first! I sampled the Vitalumiere Aqua a while ago and I loved it but it just wasn't quite right, so I'm hoping to have better luck with this one!

      Also, I've nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award, which I'd love for you to check out =)xx

    1. Haha! I think everyone has one of those lists!!
      It's is but there are plenty of fantastic foundations out there that won't break the bank and are just as good!
