Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, is now the newest ambassador of Chanel. She’s 16 years old and was most recently seen at the Chanel’s Haute Couture show in Paris last week, together with her mother, who works with Chanel since 1990.
Some time ago I wrote about the Tweed Effect Blush by Chanel and that one was not a good purchase, in my opinion. But willing to prove that Chanel can produce a good blush and not only perfect lipsticks (yes, they are perfect!) I bought this Chanel Blush Horizon – Soft Glow. Let’s see whether I was luckier!
Chanel is one of my favorite brands – not only because it’s very good to sensitive skin, like mine, but because of its quality bits, like pigmentation, that really lasts (in the case of lipsticks and foundations, for example). So I decided to buy two blushes from Chanel. One is this, now reviewed, the Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect. I thought the name is “chic”, but honestly, how can you reach a tweed effect on your cheeks? Then it’s not a good effect at all 🙂 Nevertheless, I knew the name was just to make it even more pompous (do we really need more pompous, after reading the name Chanel?) and knew it was to catch consumers. The color seemed to be very good and so, I bought it.
Chanel products, oh, so good! I love them and in 97% of the cases (I do wear a lot of them) I was pretty satisfied with the items. Like now: the Chanel Illusion D’ombre eye shadow, number 83 – color name, Illusoire.
Once a very good friend of mine recommended a Chanel product, because she knows that I 1) love Chanel makeup and 2) love illuminating products. Actually she said that it seemed that Jennifer Lopez wore it: the Soleil Tan de Chanel – Sheer Illuminating Fluid.
It is an interesting product and it does what it promises: it illuminates the areas where you apply it, like cheeks, nose, chin – to give a healthy color and glow, like if you were “sun kissed” 🙂 The effect is natural. The problem is that, normally, people who want a full makeup apply foundation and for it to last, a layer of powder to set. After that, if you try to apply a creamy product – it feels like a foundation – the effect is gone. Actually, the effect is a mess. Though if you apply it after your foundation and then blend all, it’s OK. If you try to do it and then think “now I will set all with facial powder”, again, no effect at all. So if you don’t need foundation or powder, it’s a good product, with a natural and subtle finish – maybe even too subtle. The container is not practical. There’s no pump. You have to open and turn it to your hand, so it starts to “run”. But it’s a bit messy, in my opinion. Would I buy it again? No. But as I said, it’s a good product, with Chanel quality.

Gisele is so gorgeous that she can look chic even when she is barefoot. That’s what Karl Lagerfeld must have thought when he chose her as the face of the new Chanel campaign for spring 2015. Gisele walks all around Paris barefoot, looking breathtaking. The whole campaign was captured by Karl Lagerefeld himself!
It’s well known by now that I love Chanel products – the quality really suits my sensitive skin. Not only my face, but even my lips are sensitive, so I really need a product that protects them. And Chanel does so – with my latest tries, two lipsticks that accomplish what they promise.
