A Little Chanel Haul


I popped down to the Chanel counter on my lunch hour recently and couldn't resist purchasing a few items. Firstly, I re-purchased my new all time favourite foundation Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, I finally splashed out on some Soleil Tan De Chanel as I have heard so many amazing things about this product and I also went away with a lipgloss in the shade Rose Dilema.

Let's have a closer look at these gorgeous products!




Soleil Tan De Chanel: £30 


I absolutely adore this product. It more than lives up to the hype it's just stunning. I absolutely love the colour and it can be used in so many ways, either to contour, as a skin base or even just to add subtle colour. It's worth every single penny and is something I will definitely be re-purchasing, although not for a while as I can see this product lasting a long time, I have used it every day for the last month and haven't even made a dent in it. You always get what you pay for with Chanel and I can't fault this gorgeous product. I am thinking of investing in the Chanel kabooki brush, the make-up artist used to apply the product to me at the counter. As the brush is priced at £39 I'm happy to apply it with my Real Techniques buffing brush for now, which also works great. A make-up bag staple for sure.

Chanel Lipgloss in Rose Dilema: £21

This lipgloss is beautiful. The colour is sheer with a touch of shimmer and works beautifully over a hot pink lip. It's extremely plumping, long lasting and nourishing. It feels beautiful on the lips and is worth every single penny. I don't love this as much as my all time favourite lip glosses from NARS but it's definitely up there as one of my all time favourites.

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation: £32

I know there are already millions of reviews raving about this foundation! I can't say enough good things about it, it feels and looks amazing on my skin, it feels like I'm not wearing any foundation at all, while still providing me with a buildable coverage and a dewy finish. This foundation even smells incredible. It wears beautifully on the skin and it incredibly long lasting. I am yet to find a foundation I love as much as this one.



Mac Eyelash Curlers Review


MAC Eyelash Curlers: £13.00

They're nice to look at, proudly stamped with the famous M.A.C logo. 

These lash curlers are fantastic and my new make-up bag essential. I had previously been using Models Own Lash Curlers religiously until I discovered these and my Models Own lash curlers are now tucked away in one of my many make-up drawers.

I have noticed a HUGE difference in the appearance of my lashes towards the end of the day, I prefer to pinch my lashes a few times, all the way up from root to tip, tilting the curlers as I go to get the full effect. 

Teamed with my new favourite mascara YSL False Lash: Shocking they make my lashes stay looking long and curled all day without my lashes dropping.

It's no wonder these lash curlers are often sold out at maccosmetics.com, they're simply fabulous. Although a snippet at £13.00, compared to Shu Uemura at £20.00 they aren't exactly the most reasonably priced eyelash curlers, however, I think they are worth every penny!
