Beauty hors d’oeuvres: No. 1 de Chanel – a new eco-responsible range with revitalizing Red Camellia Extract

March 24, 2022 Paris B 27 Comments

A new product range from any brand always gets me a little excited. This more so, when it’s from a big luxury brand in the market like Chanel. Most luxury brands are a little more set in their ways, and a little slower to change, so when No. 1 de Chanel was launched, in a rather low-key manner in early 2022, like a whisper through the world of beauty, I was intrigued.

No. 1 de Chanel is a rather compact range for now, with a focus on the skin, in the form of skincare and minimal makeup, and scent – what Chanel is well-known for. I’d be curious to see if it expands further! 🙂

I was fortunate to be given a little insight into some products in the No. 1 de Chanel range. However, if you’re curious about the skincare products in the range, and whether they are something you might like, keep reading – I might make it worth your while 😉

Have dry or mature skin and on a budget? Try the Pixi Rose Ceramide Cream for nourished, soft and supple skin

I’ll preface this by saying that if you have dry skin, like I do, you will absolutely LOVE the Pixi Rose Ceramide Cream, and its friendly price-tag!

I don’t say this lightly, for I must admit to not having high expectations when I first tried this, after finding a tube in my skincare stash.

To me, a moisturizer that is labeled an ‘intense moisturizer’ must come in a tub. I mean, it is intense right? That means it must be heavier in texture right? That means in should come in a tub, not tube, right?

WRONG!

And I’m never happier to be wrong! 😀

Bacteria isn’t all bad, and especially not when it’s in the Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

Most of you know by now what a big fan I am of Antipodes skincare. Barring one or two items in the product range, I usually love everything carried by the brand, and I look forward to new releases from them.

When I came across the new Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream, I was very intrigued.

Primarily, I was intrigued at the use of probiotics in the formula. I’d been reading about probiotics in skincare for a while, but there aren’t many brands I know, that use it.

Ultimately though, I had my reservations about the Antipodes Culture Probiotic night cream, and it had nothing to do with the probiotics 🙂

When the day gets overwhelming, calm down and luxuriate in the Chanel Sublimage Le Baume Revitalizing, Protecting and Soothing balm

Here’s a little funny personal backstory to my receiving the Chanel Sublimage Le Baume.

When I first heard of it, I immediately thought that it would be a balm cleanser, and I LOVE balm cleansers! It did strike me a little odd that there would be a balm cleanser when there already exists the Sublimage Gel-to-Oil cleanser (which I LOVE!), but I did not think much of it. Who can fathom how brands think anyway?!

So, when the Sublimage Le Baume dropped in my lap, I did a double-take. This was not a cleansing balm!

A quick frantic read of the literature revealed to me that the Sublimage Le Baume was, in fact, a balm moisturiser!

I must confess that this dry-skinned gal got even more excited at the thought of a balm moisturiser, than I did at the thought of a balm cleanser! 😀
