Chanel Aqualumiere Lip Gloss ($44.00AUD) ★★★★★
I LOVE Chanel’s Aqualumiere lipglosses…Diamond Rose, Candy Glow and Freeze are some of my favourites but Aqualumiere glosses are all beautiful. The colours are sheer, feel smooth over the lips and accentuate the lipstick/lip pencil underneath. I recommend matching these with their accompanying Aqualumiere lipsticks.

Chanel Base Lumiere Primer Base ($69.00AUD) ★★★★
Base Lumiere is a little pricey for a primer. Whilst does hold the foundation / base for many hours and it does keep the skin looking smooth, it is not any better than others out there. However, I like the consistency of the product and the way it blends in to the skin with ease, making makeup application a lot easier.

Chanel Estompe Eclat Concealer Stick ($50.00AUD) ★★★½
Estompe Eclat is a creamy stick concealer which is great to use around the eyes to cover dark circles and also great for covering any blemishes on the skin. At first it feels quite thick and gluggy but blend it between your fingertips to warm it up and make it creamy.

Chanel Eclat Lumiere Highlighter Concealer ($60.00AUD) ★★★★
Eclat Lumiere is a beautiful liquid concealer and is so easy to apply. With a flick of the top, the concealer glides out onto the brush and can be applied directly to the skin. I keep this in my makeup kit at all times and my clients love it too.

Chanel Exceptionnel de Chanel Mascara ($50.00) ★★★½
Exceptionnel de Chanel comes in waterproof and non-waterproof as well as a range of subtle shades including navy blue and deep purple. The difference is in the nifty wand which has 3 brushes and 3 combs rolled into one. It is designed to give you curl and thickness without the clump and while it gave me full lashes, I did not really find it to curl and can be a little tricky when you are time poor. TIP: Roll the brush outwards as you apply.

Chanel Inimitable Mascara ($50.00AUD) ★★★★★
Inimitable is gorgeous for a natural all-round 4D lash effect: length, curl, volume & separation. It gives you ultra long lashes – even if you have short/fair lashes Inimitable will amaze you! Try it now because this prestige mascara is so popular because the mascara does what it claims.

Chanel Le Blanc de Chanel Primer Base ($63.00) ★★★★
Le Blanc de Chanel is Chanel’s newst primer which helps to illuminate and prepare the skin for its base. The illuminiser is subtle but brightens the skin’s appears (great for tired skin). I would not recommend it for those who are quite oily as it sits better on normal to dry skin.

Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadows ($95.00AUD) ★★★½

Les 4 Ombres are beautifully packaged and the shades all compliment one another beautifully. The lightest shade is for the brow bone, the deeper shades for the crease (definition) and the lighter one for the entire eyelid. I do not find the colours strong enough as they are not highly pigmented and would not purchase in future for this reason.

Chanel Mat Lumiere Long Lasting Mat Fluid ($69.00AUD) ★★★★½
Mat Lumiere fluid foundation is part of Chanel’s line designed for a matte, no-shine finish. It is excellent for oily/shiny skin and does not look or feel drying as it still keeps the skin hydrated and smooth. The price is really good too.

Chanel Mat Lumiere Matte Foundation Powder ($94.00AUD) ★★★★½

I love this powder! Mat Lumiere Powder can be used wet or dry to give you the coverage YOU want. Because this is a build able coverage, you can use lightly with a brush or a sponge for more coverage/colour. A little goes a long way and it lasts on the skin for hours. Unfortunately Australia does not sell refills but you can get them from StrawberryNET.

Chanel Poudre Cristalline Loose Powder ($82.00AUD)★
Poudre Cristalline is a white setting face powder which is translucent and really sheer but I find that it makes the face appear white / light and need a fair bit of blending. I prefer a translucent loose powder or a pressed powder to finish. It is not worth its retail price.

Chanel Poudre Universelle Compact ($84.00AUD) ★★★★

Poudre Universelle is a lovely sheer translucent face powder which sets your foundation and prepares your base for blush and shadows. However, the price is a little exxy and for those who are seeking a foundation powder, they will find this too sheer. The colours suit most skin types but there is a big shade difference between #30 Naturel and #40 Dore.

Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre Loose Powder ($68.00AUD) ★★★★
Poudre Universelle Libre is a lovely lightweight translucent face powder which helps to set foundation and stop excess shine. The price is a little too high for my liking but the product is very good and comes in a range of shades to suit various skintones.

Chanel Precision Beaute Initiale Eye Gel ($86.00AUD) ★★★★½

Beaute Initiale Eye Gel ($86.00) is gorgeous. It is a gentle, cooling gel which is designed to fight the first signs of aging, energise the skin, reduce puffiness & dark circles and hydrate. Highly recommended.

Chanel Precision Sublimage Eye Creme ($220.ooAUD) ★★★★★
Chanel’s Sublimage Eye Creme is the ultimate luxurious indulgence – and we should all own one! Sublimage Eye is a rich, creamy texture which contains Vanilla Planifola PFA and is designed to firm, hydrate, reduce pigmentation and fight the signs of ageing. I love it…but I hope my jar never runs out as I don’t like forking out that kind of money!

Chanel Prolumiere Professional Finish Foundation ($82.00AUD) ★★★★½
ProLumiere is a hard working, medium coverage foundation designed to stay on (and look great) all day. It provides a medium to full buildable dewy coverage, which is why makeup artists use it for models and weddings.

Chanel Rouge Allure Lip Colour ($48.00AUD) ★★★★

I love Chanel’s choice of colours in their Rouge Allure range. The satin finish is creamy and smooth on the lips and the ‘click of seduction’ pop lid is a conversation starter. Beautiful.

Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Powder ($75.00AUD) ★★★★
I love the whole kit and caboodle with this bronzer! Soleil Tan de Chanel’s bronzer design looks like the desert sand, the powder hydrates as it glides across the skin, the shades are very natural and look great on any skin tone, and the brush has two sides: one for contouring and one for colour across the face. PERFECT!

Chanel Teint Innocence Creme Compact SPF10 ($94.00AUD) ★★★★
Teint Innocence Creme Foundation is a great foundation for those who like to touch up on the go. It provides the fullest coverage in the whole Chanel foundation range. I love to use it as a concealer due to its thickness. Although it is thick it is very smooth, creamy and hydrating so the formula looks very natural on application.

Chanel Teint Innocence Fluid Foundation SPF12 ($69.00AUD) ★★★★
Teint Innocence liquid foundation is a light yet dewy foundation that feels super light on the skin, looks really natural and smells like baby talc powder (yum) but for a sensitive skin this scent could irritate. I love this for makeup-free days or when my skin needs to breathe.

Chanel Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Creme Makeup ($94.00AUD) ★★★★★
This is a beautiful dewy cream foundation which provides excellent coverage and helps to conceal large pores as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is a very hydrating foundation but the product is quite pricey.

Chanel Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Foundation ($82.00AUD) ★★★★½
For $82 you might think this is a little expensive, but wait until you see the results. This little beauty works wonders! Vitalumiere is an anti-fatigue foundation which offers a light to medium coverage and looks beautiful and naturally dewy. One of my favourites and clients love it.
