I'm no Chanel expert and I haven't even tried all the Chanel product there is in the market. But I know me, and I know what I like. I've tried quite a few Chanel babies and three of their products stood out to me. These three are the ones that stuck with me.
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour
This is actually a recent discovery for me. I got this as a random gift from my husband. You see, I've been a loyal pressed powder user of this other brand for years, but recently that other brand decided to cause my skin to break out like crazy. Only when I stopped using this pressed powder did the stubborn nasty bumps finally leave my poor face alone. Thanks Lisa Eldridge for the heads up in all of those beauty tutorials for this Chanel range!
The powder is scented, but not that strong. Just a hint of rose which is actually quite nice. The coverage is moderate. Enough to set your make-up and give your face a somewhat glowing pretty finish. And the halfmoon brush, don't even get me started with that one. It's incredibly soft and looks as fancy as the total packaging (hello chic cream case and sophisticated velvet black pouch). It's a plus also that this one has SPF 15, which is a must especially when you live in an eternally sunny place like Dubai. And the best thing about Les Beiges? It doesn't break me out (so far), so definitely a good product!
Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-lasting Eyeliner
I have nothing but good words for this eyeliner. It's smooth, waterproof and definitely long-lasting. It glides on gently and perfectly and you don't have to worry of it smudging even after wearing it all day. I've used a lot of eyeliners but nothing compares to this one. An everyday staple! And a slow clap for the built-in sharpener at the opposite end too. So handy!
Chanel launched three variants for their Chance fragrance collection but only the Chance Eau Tendre scent connected with me. The other two were just too strong for me I guess. Tendre is light, fresh, feminine, and very long-lasting. Truly a happy scent with a combination of grapefruit, jasmine and white musk. I got my first bottle courtesy of a former colleague almost three years ago and have never looked back ever since. Wear this and witness how others can't help but do a doubletake when they catch a sniff. :)
