well i tok the plunge and bought the foundation! and i also got the loose powder because it goes very well with the foundation. plus i am happy to say that the lightest shade matched me perfectly! i was worried it might be a little dark but nope! the downside is that the chanel lady was so nice that i want to go back and buy more goodies! hee hee!

Lou - I'm glad the match was good and hope u enjoy Vitalumiere Aqua 
now I'm getting tempted to get a loose powder too, lol!
now I'm getting tempted to get a loose powder too, lol!lol! the powder is very nice. it isn't matte but it isn't sparkly either. it looks very fresh and is really fine and so soft. i could tell a huge difference between this and my rimmel stay matte powder!Lou - I'm glad the match was good and hope u enjoy Vitalumiere Aqua
i got a little shiney on the forehead by about 3pm. but that is normal for me! i used those blot sheets and i was fine. i love the foundation! so light but gves just enough coverage. i shall still use my colourstay one however only when my skin isn't looking great. at the moment it's looking ok so i don't need anything heavy.... but watch me wake up to a face full of spots now i have said that! lol!

^^ lol this may sound weird but it's not because I've thought about it too. I'm certain I haven't use half of my VLA yet, but I have the UV essentiel sunblock which comes in the exact same rectangular bottle and size. It also has some oil and liquid so I need to shake it well, but I still think VLA needs more shaking. It's almost finishing so I leave it upside down and I give it a slight up and down shaking before squeezing it out. Every time I thought I'm at the last drop, I tilt the bottle slightly and more can be squeezed out. Then I mix it in my palm before applying. Hope this helps. However, I think VLA is more tricky. Please let us know if you found a better way!

This might sound like a weird question, but any of you using the VLA a lot, how do you get the last of the makeup out of the bottle? I mean you need to shake it very well, but once you shake it and it has less makeup in, how do you get it out?
I've thought about this too....I was thinking i'd have to cut the bottle open and transfer it somewhere else, though that'd be a bit messy

[/quote] Yes, thought about cutting it up as well, but then you have to still mix it up :dunno:

thanks! i am loving this foundation! especially now it is warmer in the uk and i didn't want anything heavy on my face. plus the lose powder i got at the same time is lovely and light - perfect combination! nick is not so impressed! i keep telling him that now i will be buying more chanel foundations because i am so impressed with this one - he's not a fan of the price tag! lol!

I am dying to try Vitalumiere Aqua out, but the Chanel counter closest to me is very rude and snippy to me. I don't know if it's because I'm young, but they think I'm clueless whenever I ask or buy anything from them.
Should I order it online or just deal with the counter?

Well, don't take it personal - a lot of them act that way. If you know what color match you are, I would order on chanel.com - free ship & free goodies
VA is a beautiful elegant foundation
oh that is such a shame but i understand what you mean. there is one department store where i refuse to buy stuff from in my city because i get ignored at the make up counters - even when i have something in my hand wanting to buy! luckily chanel is at the other store and the lady there is really sweet.
maybe you could match yourself at the counter but buy online later? or see if they actually speak nicely the next time you go in.

[/quote] Just ignore them, worst case they transform into slobbering nice people once you buy something. If you know your colour, you could order online. But the counter would give you samples and you could try it out first. Just do not let them intimidate you, stay nice and professional, but stand your ground. They should really know better.
