Working six days a week, alongside trying to write a university dissertation has most definitely not been fun, and boy have I missed writing for this little blog.
Today's post can't be too long, as my uni deadline is tomorrow, but I just logged on to see if anyone was still around on here, and just couldn't leave this little haven neglected for any longer. I'm reviewing the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation today.
This is a foundation which has most definitely been raved about for a while, but having been quite comfortable in my Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation bubble for some time, I was a little late to the party.
I had huge hopes for this foundation - I opted for the Vitalumiere Aqua, as this was the best out of the Chanel range for a luminous, dewy finish. Despite having combination skin, I really hate how matte foundations look on my skin, so I always opt for something with a dewy finish.
So, here are my thoughts:
First things first, the texture of the foundation is more like a BB cream, rather than typical liquid foundations. Although it felt a little heavier on my skin than other foundations, the consistency of the foundation itself didn't bother me too much!
The coverage is medium but buildable - I found that one layer was perfect for every day use, but for nights out, I found myself reaching for other foundations for a little more coverage.
I felt that I was using quite a lot of foundation each time I used it - maybe it's because of the texture of it, but I found that 2-3 squirts (only word that would work I'm afraid) would just about cover my face!
The price of £33 isn't too steep for a Chanel foundation, but personally, I think other foundations such as the Luminous Silk foundation, are much better value for money. Overall, I think it's a nice little foundation to have in your make-up bag, but I wasn't overly blown away as I thought I would have been!
Have any of you guys tried it? Let me know your thoughts!
