Liquid -Estee Lauder - Double Wear LIGHT Foundation SPF10
blackholes 2/1/2011 8:06:00 PM
I love this foundation. It gives light coverage; yet is perfect to give me an even skin tone, concealing dark under eye circles, and other marks. I have oily skin, however I did not find this product to make my skin look oily at the end of the day, as opposed to Chanel's pro lumiere liquid foundation did. Intensity 4.0 is perfect for an Indian skin tone. I would highly recommend this foundation!

Lipstick -Chanel - Coco Rouge Egerie
blackholes 6/9/2010 11:40:00 AM
I had to write a review for this product because I wanted to boost the bad ratings on this one ! The formula needs no introduction - rouge coco has the best matte formula ever. This shade is a neutral orange, orange enough to show up and neutral enough so as to not look gaudy. It compliments my Indian skin tone very well. I would definitely recommend buying this shade because it is perfect for a day at work - compliments formal wear, and it is very elegant for evening wear as well.

Fragrances -Chanel - No.19

Very different and very nice. The fragrance stays with you ALL day, whether you've been running around or having a non-so eventful day. I bought the EDP, and I love it. Also bought Burberry London along with this, but I find myself reaching for this fragrance more often. I would recommend this product to ladies of all ages! It adds that mysterious quality to you and makes you feel fresh all day long. A must try.

Fragrances -Gucci - Envy ME

Love the smell. But this fragrance has a staying power of about 2 hours or so. This fragrance has a better staying power if applied on the pulse points. I would repurchase but wouldn't recommend this for everyday wear.. I'd say combine this perfume with another one for a lasting effect.

Eye Shadow -Coastal Scents - 88 color matte palette
blackholes 3/25/2010 9:30:00 AM
I love this palette! You can find most of the colours you might want to wear for an evening out/day at work or even a nude look. I bought it after watching Michelle Phan's sunset eyes video.. and I don't think I need to go for another eyeshadow palette for a long time. I would definitely recommend this product.

Toners -Chanel - LOTION CONFORT
blackholes 3/4/2010 6:57:00 AM
Very good toner. I personally prefer this over the Lotion Douceur and the Purete toner. Its very soothing and is absorbed by the skin immediately. It also removes dirt leftover by the Gel cleanser. I would definitely repurchase this toner.

Toners -Chanel - Lotion Douceur
blackholes 3/4/2010 6:53:00 AM
This toner is ugh! It feels sticky after application. I got a sample of this after recommendation from a Chanel MUA, and I later realised that she'd recommended this toner for an oily/combination skin which is all wrong. I ended up purchasing the Purete toner instead, which is far better than this. Do not purchase this toner; ask for a sample instead. Only if you're overwhelmed by its performance, I'd suggest going for it.

Cleansers -Chanel - Gel Purete
blackholes 3/4/2010 6:24:00 AM
I bought this cleanser after trying on the cleansing water from Chanel. I don't know whether to like this product or to express my true opinion :) The cleanser is just OK. I've been using it for about 6-7 months now, but it doesn't lather all that well with hard water. After using this cleanser, when I tone my face with the purete toner, I find that my face does have some dirt, which should've been removed by the cleanser, right? It also dries my combination skin completely, and toning after using this cleanser is a MUST. I do not like the packaging either, the lid is a little hard to remove once closed completely. There are definitely very good quality foam cleansers out there, but this is not one of them. I would not repurchase this cleanser. Go for the cleansing water instead.

Toners -Chanel - precision lotion purete toner
blackholes 3/4/2010 6:14:00 AM
This is a good toner, but definitely not the best of Chanel's toners. Its refreshing and removes dirt after I cleanse my face with the Chanel gel cleanser, but I feel more like I'm applying water on my face. I've recently begun using the Lotion Confort instead, and I like that one better. I will not be repurchasing this product.

Treatments (Eye) -Chanel - Sublimage Eye
blackholes 3/4/2010 6:05:00 AM
This undereye cream is just average. I got a sample of it when I purchased my Blanc Essential Night cream and I've been applying it religiously every night for the last 4-5 months, but my undereye dark circles don't seem to be going away at all. I wouldn't purchase this very highly expensive eye cream.

Fragrances -Chanel - Chance Eau Fraiche
blackholes 3/4/2010 5:25:00 AM
This is the better of the two Chance fragrances. The smell is amazing, but the staying power isn't all that great, it stays for about 4-6 hours. But I would consider repurchasing this fragrance.

Fragrances -Chanel - Chance

I love this fragrance. One grouse is that it doesn't have enough staying power, it lasts just about 4-6 hours. However, I will be buying this fragrance again, just for the smell and to relive my memories.

Lipstick -Chanel - Aqualumiere 49-Java
blackholes 3/4/2010 5:15:00 AM
This was my first Chanel product. I'm in love with this colour and the entire Aqualumiere range! The colour is very nice, and gives the hydrating + glitter that, when applied the right amount, is perfect to be worn just about anywhere.

Powder -Chanel - Mat Lumiere Luminous Matte Powder Makeup SPF 10
blackholes 3/4/2010 5:09:00 AM
I bought this product after reading the excellent reviews on MUA, and because I'm a 'Chanel' girl - every skincare/makeup product I own is always almost Chanel. I must say that I'm not overwhelmed by the performance of this product. This foundation can be applied either dry or wet. When applied in the dry form, the application is OK, and it blends in quite well. It does appear a little chalky when worn on the under eye, but the application on the rest of the face is good. When applied in the wet form, the foundation works really well. It smooths out the entire face, giving it an even coloration. The best way to use this foundation would be to use a liquid foundation, and apply this over areas that you need extra coverage. However, the product is not upto expectations and I would suggest buying this ONLY if you need a powder foundation for extra touch ups during the day/night. Definitely not a must have Chanel product.
