The Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer is mini yet mighty and deserving of its raves

August 26, 2019 Paris B 5 Comments

When I started dipping my toes into the world of makeup, there was one concealer that came highly raved – the Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer. It took me a while to get round to trying it, but years later, I think I understand why it is so popular!

I must note that it has been reformulated fairly recently, with a slight change in packaging. But I tested the formula in the boutique, and noticed that it felt similar to the one I have, so my view on it is maintained 🙂

Is it worthy of the raves though? That’s what you’d like to know right? 😉

This Fall 2019, the Noir et Blanc de Chanel collection will have you decide if you prefer it black or white

I always look forward to Chanel’s seasonal makeup collections. Ever since Lucia Pica came on board as their Creative Director, we’ve seen many very interesting interpretations released, and I love it!

For Fall 2019, the collection is called Noir et Blanc de Chanel – Black and White. You might have already seen the images.

Black and White is very stark, and it is this bold contrast of colours that Lucia Pica is going for. A selection of opposites, with deep, dark tones and shades that evoke the longer, cooler nights that will befall most of the Northern Hemisphere very soon.

The products are either softly shimmering with the lightness of white and light, or bold and deep with the shadows and mystery of the dark black. The packaging reflects this, with sleek, snow white packaging for some items, or the regular sleek black of Chanel makeup packaging.

As much as I love most of Lucia Pica’s releases however, I must admit that the Noir et Blanc de Chanel collection is a little too experimental and avant-garde for little ol’ me 😛 I’ll explain

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! 😀
