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!

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

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 😀

Thoroughly enjoying the lush texture of the Chanel Sublimage L’Huile en Gel de Demaquillage for a luxurious first cleanse

The Chanel Sublimage L’Huile en Gel de Demaquillage or Gel to Oil Cleanser is one of the more interesting things I’ve tried coming out of the brand.

While I’m usually leery of an oil cleanser and gel cleanser, this one appealed to me for some reason. It might be because it felt and looked rather unique.

It might be that you often get an oil to gel formula, but rarely, one the other way around.

It might also be because I’m a sucker for interesting things 😛

Yes, you can still wear lipstick under a facial mask!

Now that wearing a face mask has become the ‘new normal’, I’ve come across many people bemoaning the fact that there is no more point to wearing lipstick, or any lip colour.

For one, it’s covered by your mask, so what’s the point?

Second, lip colours will transfer onto your mask, and it smears and makes a mess.

But you know what? I still wear lip colours, especially lipstick. I feel naked and unfinished without a slick of lip colour, so let me tell you how I manage, and the types of finishes I pick to avoid smearing 🙂
