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! 😀

Guerlain Meteorites Perles de Satin – almost perfection

Aha! You thought I was done collecting Guerlain Meteorites pearls didn’t you?! Well, so did I! LOL!

So what do we have here?!

After I bought the last Meteorites pearls at the end of 2016, I told myself I was done. That’s it, this Meteorites pearls collector was hanging up her credit cards. No more Meteorites!

There have been a few new releases since, but nothing that caught my eye, so I didn’t feel any loss. And then one day a month or so ago, my eye was caught by a gaudy paisley tin.

And I looked a little closer. It was the Guerlain Meteorites Perles de Satin, released for Summer 2019.

And I felt the old stirrings tugging at my heartstrings once again. Ah, my love for the Meteorites pearls can never be dimmed! 😀

NARS Summer Lights Face Palette for those warm summer days and Oh! those sultry summer nights!

I’d been very good for a long while, resisting temptation from most new makeup releases. Money saved, I’d tell myself. I already have similar shades; I’d console myself. Till one day, my eyes fell on pictures for the NARS Summer Lights Face Palette.

And I felt my heart beat a little faster.

And my palms felt that prickle of sweat.

I had to have it. I just had to! Even though I need YET another neutral palette, like I do a third nipple <- this is an on-going joke, for everyone who’s just checking in, and premiered here.

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.
