Chanel Vivacite - A GORGEOUS slight violet raspberry

its very very pretty on. Texture not as smooth but...

It was very hard to capture this color.



So it's not baked? Doesn't look like it.

Debating where to order right now. Bloomies or Saks. Probably getting both colors.

That sounds lovely. I'm still experimenting w/lip & cheek combos. I'll have to try it w/Pantone/Sephora's Radiant Rush lippie
Yes, I bought the Pantone lip balm & it looks lovely with the blush too.

So, I forget how to tell (sorry Winthrop) if this blush is baked or not?

OMGOSH - I got a sample of the new PERFECTION LUMIÈRE VELVET SMOOTH EFFECT MAKEUP - it is FABULOUS!

It is soooo light weight, makes the skin look insanely flawless, feels like you're wearing nothing, velvet is a perfect description. Seriously it is amazing & it has the same BEAUTIFUL smell that we all loved in the Les Beiges powder in the cream compact. I am definitely getting a full bottle of it. I was just going to buy Dior's nude foundation but I think this tops it.

Interesting! I remember you & I feeling like whatever the one before this was called sucked the life out of our skin and made us look older, lol. Do I need to give this one a try? I really hesitate because of the alcohol but it is a lot further down the list than most of the other Chanel foundations.

It is baked. 4g = Euro baked, 6g = US powder formulation. See those concentric circles in your pic in the center and around the outer edge? That's a dead giveaway. But I would call it a "good" baked one...very pigmented. We'll just have to hope it doesn't harden and lose that quality over time. It is a gorgeous shade and I will be really bummed if mine does.

Thanks! Did you see...I got a hole in mine

Did you already get yours?

Yep! I have & really like the VA but I really like how natural & soft focus this one looks, plus it gives good coverage for how light it feels. I really like it.

It was this Perfection Lumiere that we didn't care for:

Yes, I did see that hole. You seem to get all of them. What's up with that? I received my Vivacite last week. Not a fan of the baked formula but there was no way I was skipping this shade!

That's it. I'm so happy to have you for my brain..lol. The new one is sooooooooooooooo much better. Silky soft on the skin. More matte-ish than dewy

I agree..I really notice the difference! that silkiness in the blushes is kinda gone. Awesome, so you love the shade on!

I ordered it after reading a few rave reviews. Your endorsement is like the cherry on top

:cheer: Yes! I love it, too and velvet is spot on. It's pretty unbelievable how it makes the skin look. I might actually stop buying foundations for awhile now. I was going to try Bobbi Brown, but I don't feel the need to do that now.

Elegant, I honestly am struggling to describe this colour to you- it is amazing. I agree with Medgal, I see a raspberry tone. I also see a hint of mauve, and I could perhaps best describe it as pink- mauve- raspberry= it's a complex colour= I think you will love it

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!!

It's a must have- I wore it today and I will need to get a proper brush for lighter application, Medgal isn't kidding about the pigmentation
girlhaha.gif


I want Emotion next!!!

Btw Elegant, I ordered Ultra Rose recently and during my online swatch investigation I chanced across some posts from you which swayed me to get it as when I heard it could be subtle I was sold- I knew it was a sign when I found your swatches and pics
girlhaha.gif
I love it and there is just something about pink Chanel blushes!!!
I only realized a few weeks ago that I didn't have good 'pink' representation in my stash of Chanel JC blushes so I ordered Pink Explosion, totally unaware that it was a
re-release.

Oh I think I'm done (for a minute) too, having just replaced my DPL and ended up with a Guerlain Foundation and Chanel'a PLV (your fault

) I think it's time to sit back

and just enjoy them.

Which Guerlain foundation (and shade :sneaky:). I'm always trying to figure out their shades.

I thought about Pink Explosion, but I have Nars Angelika and Desire and I hardly ever touch them even though they're lovely. There was a time when I was hoarding Chanel blushes. I haven't worn them in ages. It's time to dust off the cobwebs.

You have vicariously called me out. I have no right buying new blush---in any brand. You have to admit that chatting about this stuff reminds you how
of how much you loved it----so you dust it off and fall in love all over again.

Absolutely and how cute is it that my favorite Chanel blush is called In Love? I think I'm going to challenge myself to wear a Chanel blush for my next handful of outings.
