When using the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick remember that less is more for a beautiful finish

I’m generally leery about using stick type foundations. While they are convenient and portable, they do have a tendency to be drying. The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is anything but!

I picked this one up quite a while ago, and as you can see, it’s quite well-used. The reason is because, I like it quite a lot! 🙂

I shared earlier in a list of things I thought was worth spending money on, and I stand by it. It also reminded me that I hadn’t properly reviewed it!

If you’re wearing the Chanel Sublimage Le Teint Foundation you will not need any photo filters!

About 4 years ago, I was introduced to, and found my photoshop in a bottle. I raved about it to everyone who’d listen; and who wouldn’t faint dead away at the price tag LOL!

I was, and still am, very happy using it.

But a new contender stepped into the ring earlier this year, and quite quickly claimed the top spot.

The new King of the Hill in my books is the Chanel Sublimage Le Teint foundation. A beautifully formulated, creamy foundation that not only gives me the photoshop in a bottle, but leaves my skin feeling BETTER for wearing it.

What is this sorcery! 😀

This hot hot summer, you don’t want to be without the new Chanel Ultra Le Teint Foundation (30 shades swatched!)

Truth to tell, when I first got wind of the Chanel Ultra Le Teint foundation, I effected a slight grimace. But I promised myself that I’d consider it with an open mind.

The Chanel Ultra Le Teint foundation is touted to be an Ultrawear All-Day Comfort Flawless Finish foundation. In layspeak, it means that it’s a longwearing foundation with full coverage. Nothing that ticks my foundation boxes, but I promised myself – keep an open mind.

So um… I must confess that it’s really really grown on me! 😛

The Chanel Ultra Le Teint Foundation is practically the polar opposite of my other favourite recent release, the Chanel Water Fresh Tint. They could not be more dissimilar! Yet, they both have their place and serve their functions very well.

5 Things I Love : The randomness of life and interests

June 12, 2019 Paris B 15 Comments

There’s this thing about old-school style blogging that I love, and it is, that it doesn’t always have to be so compartmentalized. It doesn’t always have to be a full blown dedicated review post, or a full blown post dedicated to any one thing. It doesn’t always have to be optimized for SEO and trying to game the system.

Sometimes, it is just about the flow, about writing whatever comes to mind on this space we call ours, and sometimes, it is just about being random.

With this in mind, that’s what today’s post is really about. I’m just not in the right frame of mind to write about any one thing in particular, or do any in-depth research into anything. Instead, I’ll let the flow take me where it wants to go, and you can come along for the ride if you like 😀
