Les Beiges de Chanel

[elegant-one]

Do you mix the two shades and then brush around your face? And how do you compare this product to dior's tye and dye pink powder ?

Yep, I just run the brush over the whole thing and fluff it over my whole face. You can build up coverage without it being cakey or looking powdery. It's nothing like the dior powders which are more of a blush & the striped powder is so finely milled. super silky & goes on like a dream. The Chanel is more of an all-over face powder. I don't really like to wear foundations so this is perfect for me. Its so light weight that you don't even feel it on. It's really lovely. It has its own built in glow!

Does that help?

This striped powder & the pink cream stick blush are 2 of THE best makeup products in mho of the year, along with the entire TF summer collection. And I really liked the Nars Kane collection a lot.

Duty free always manages to get me.... Picked up both striped powders from last year. They were released prior to me getting super interested in Chanel powders.

I think you've sold me Sis. If tomorrow weren't a holiday I would have ordered last night, but we leave for Myrtle Beach (remember the wedding) on Wednesday and
they wouldn't arrive before then. I've decide to get the pink blush and the darkest Les beiges stripped powder. I'll place my order next Saturday. We'll be back home
on Tuesday. That way I should get them at least by Friday. They're in my shopping cart!!!!

You make it sound better and better every day!!!!

I want to go to Myrtle Beach with you Sis

We would have to get a uhaul for the makeup between the two of us

I really really believe that they are stellar products or I would not say so. But I would want them to work for you as well!!! Vee really helped to confirm that natural glow I was seeing. Actually, its just like how it looks on the amazing GB in the promo.

​We would need two Uhauls!!!! I'm having so much anxiety packing ----I want to take my favorite makeup---which amounts to a lot. I finally found a dress---well 3 actually
because we have 2 more weddings this year, so I'm all set. Now all I'll be thinking about is placing my order and getting back home!!!

I totally trust you and Vee because you're both connoisseurs of great makeup!!!

It's so hard to find the right dress(s) sometimes, so I'm happy you were able to. I always over pack. Better to have more than not enough LOL!

Aww, thanks hun

Vee always confirms how I feel about a product - like or dislike. She knows her makeup

I was going to skip this entire collection. Under stated, and to me, for those who actually tan, not turn into lobsters from the sun. First it was the cream stick blush, then even though usually nail polish is crazy colors and/or vamp for me, this collection was just lovely. Perfect for going on a job interview. Like I would ever do that!!!! Love the ability to work when I want, and pick the job/duties. Perks of working as a independent contractor.

Then the powders I was skipping. Since the regular LeBeige #10 is still too dark and yellow on me. Then the explanation of the product said it was more for blush, could so skip it. But no, I got sucked in when it was explained it was not dark or as yellow based as #10 and not really a blush but all over powder for on the go days. Of course the swatch had me!!!! The lip balm showed nothing on me. The beige nail polishes actually work on Pink Casper's.

Need to pace myself. Armani and YSL sale is coming soon. Then Blue Notes in June or July, Armani new collection (hope we so get it in the States). Dior late July, Then Mr. Ford in September, the holiday collections from Chanel, etc, right after if not the same time. Toss in the need to replenish the staples of beauty routine, cleanser, moisturizer, etc. $hyt, might actually have to get a real job. No, snap out of it. Make bank in the wild fires to last through the year.

Just sick, I tell you!!!!

Yes, Vee knows her makeup----as do you, and you both know how to get me to buy it

.....and I've never been disappointed!!!!!

I just hope you have a wonderful...even though they are weddings. I would go just to eat wedding cake

I so agree about Vee. It is not about what she likes or her bias towards one product line vs. another. I was so in love with the two new lip shines released in March from Mr. Ford. It pissed me off the one pulled too orange on me. But that is me. When reviewing a product for all. It should be about the product, not how you would want it or not. As in being too drying, too bold, too orange, too pink, whatever. Just like foundations. Because I am limited to what actually works on me, it would be so wrong for me to have others avoid them. So far I have yet to find a Chanel foundation for my Pink Casper skin. I still think they are lovely. Same thing for price point. Of course my least fav blogger claims this does not play into her rating. Yet how often is it stated for the cost of the product it should be better? Yes, I so know I have an attitude problem with this blogger. I remember how she basically shouted on how she had to actually had to buy a collection from Chanel to review it? Gosh, if I were Chanel I would not be sending her freebies for review.

I totally forgot to swatch it! Come to think of it, I'm not sure that it was in the display. What is the shade like?

Packing for me is such a pain. Need to bring warm clothes, since the mountains of Montana/Idaho/Wyoming get really cold even in late July. Then the next day, I will literally be stuck in Death Valley. So I need clothes for hotter then the hinges of hell. Toss in I am limited to how many bags I am allowed to bring along with my tent, sleeping bag, air mattress (not gonna sleep on the hard ground or worse yet, wet ground), and then my makeup. Which MUST fit in my carry on bag. Not going to lose that in the airport we have misplaced your luggage!!!! Since where I go is usually 2-6 hours from the airport. Then once on site, the group leader will decide to limit even further how much can go up past the base camp.

My P's love their grand dogs. My brother's wife claims my Mom cares more about the grand dogs then her. Which is actually true. But that is another story. No grand kiddies from me or my brother. The P's are fine with that!!!! As my brother has said, dogs don't drunk, stoned, and since our dogs are so huge, don't make it much past 10 years. They do cat around if not fixed.....but no concern since once their show career is over, so usually are their puppy making days. Or in the case of the males, frozen puppy making works well. Dead dogs since making puppies.
