After reading countless reviews and watching a ton of videos about it, I took the plunge. It was a little painful but it's Chanel, so it's justified?:) There has been plenty of hype surrounding this wonderful product that I thought it's time I gave it a go.
I was requested by a reader (my first request *yay*) for a review on this product as she has similar skintone to me. Just for reference i'm a NC40 in Mac Foundations. So I decided to give it a test run before writing up this post. Now initially I wasn't blown away as I thought I would be, but I persisted i.e trying to get my money's worth. Used it for a good 3 weeks and i've come to a decision that yes it is worth the hype. Here's why:
Loves
- Consistency, its a creamy texture that blends flawlessly on your face, there's no need of really spending time buffing it in, it just blends into your skin magically.
- The look, a perfect glow to your skin, just right for my skintone.It has no shimmers but because its a cream product it gives a dewy glow to your face which if you can't tell im a massive fan of:)
- No obvious line as you sometimes see with other contouring products but more of a natural contour that's perfect for my skintone. Basically I sucked at contouring till now.
- A little goes a long way with this product, I bought this now almost a month ago and have been using it for a good part of the month and have hardly made a dent, so i guess its bang for your buck* i would like to think*
Loathes
- The scent, now I know a lot of people love it, but I just can't put my finger on it. It doesn't bother me or break me out but I wouldn't mind if it was unscented.
- Price, this cost me a little over AUD$65 so yes its pricey.

So obviously it's not a perfect product. You would either love it or hate it and since it comes with a hefty price-tag, I would advise to look up reviews before you take the plunge. In my opinion, all thought there might be some negatives, overall I would repurchase it.
Have you tried the Bronze Universal? What do you think?
Thank you so much for doing the review. This was very helpful. I'd love to see you using this in more FOTDs. It does look very lovely. Still not sure if I'm ready to make the plunge though. lol
ReplyDeletehey can u do a FOTD with this ..
ReplyDeleteI just got this for my birthday last month, and I quite like it. I don't know if I ever would've got around to paying so much for it (especially in Australia) so I'm glad my friends gifted it to me. I find it so lovely and creamy, and it's so hard to make mistakes with it!
