Keeping it simple, natural and glowy with the new Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear

March 29, 2021 Paris B 6 Comments

Les Beiges is the only makeup collection I look forward to each year, without fail. While it’s not the most exciting of makeup products, it suits me – simple, basic, neutral. Yet, there is often nothing very simple, basic or neutral about it. Often, the products impress me, even when they don’t impress others. I suppose it comes down to personal preferences.

This is true of Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation. Launched in 2016 (where I tried and reviewed it), and then quietly disappearing, only be relaunched last year in the middle of a pandemic when most people were in lockdown and not leaving houses, ergo, not putting on makeup.

I still don’t go out very much, and I don’t do video calls, so putting on makeup has been something that I haven’t gotten down to doing.

But when I did deign to wear any makeup at all, I gave the new Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear a try, and I was blown away. This was even better than its predecessor!

Wearing makeup again and absolutely loving the Shiseido Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush

Goodness, when was the last time I reviewed a makeup product?! (I checked. It was February 2020 – a year ago!) It’s hard to review something when you don’t use it, and makeup has been something I’ve forsaken for the better part of a year.

But recently, I decided to put on a little when I go out, just to keep my hand in, and my eye fell on a tub of Shiseido Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush I bought 2 years back and never used. Thanks, lockdown LOL!

Well, I’m here to tell you that if you too are starting to get back on the makeup bicycle, and are looking around for an easy to use, pretty blush, I’d highly recommend this one from Shiseido – totally blew me away! 😀

Break the chain of not wearing makeup and get festive with Les Chaines D’or de Chanel Holiday 2020 Makeup Collection

December 7, 2020 Paris B 2 Comments

I received a selection of the Chanel Holiday 2020 makeup collection by a very special delivery method this year – courier delivery!

Nothing is the same this year, and every company has had to pivot to reach their customers, and Chanel customers in Malaysia have finally been offered a delivery service. You do have to call in to a store or contact client services at +6012 366 0072 to arrange delivery of what you want, but this service is going out throughout Malaysia – yes, even to places without a physical Chanel counter! I think that’s grand 😀

I do realize that the Les Chaines D’or de Chanel Holiday 2020 Makeup collection has been out a while, but I’ll share some quick thoughts on it regardless. Why break with tradition, when it’s something I’ve been sharing year on year 😀

If you don’t own the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, you don’t know what you’re missing out on!

Can a girl have too many makeup brushes?

The answer, as it turns out, is Yes.

This is especially so, when you aren’t a makeup artist. What excuse do you have for owning 20 different foundation brushes, for example? I found none. So, I stopped cold turkey.

I stopped buying makeup brushes, and I stopped looking. I had enough, as my sizeable collection screamed at me from their storage drawers.

One day a year or so ago however, I chanced upon the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, and something about it made me buy it.

And I have not regretted it since! 😀
