First Chanel Makeup Haul of 2017!

Happy new year!

Even though January is more than half way done but it's still January! I thought it would be nice to start of the year with a Chanel makeup haul. Just like last year, I also got a limited edition Chanel product as my gift to myself #Januarybaby. However, it is even more special this year because this item is not available in Canada, it's only available in Asia and USA. Let's get started.

Camelia de Chanel- Illuminating Powder 香奈兒山茶花亮彩盤

Even the packaging is special, instead of the black and white packaging, it is deep red/ burgundy with black Chanel logo. It has a small moon shaped brush that's a little curved, I guess it's to fit the shape of the cheeks. The bristles are pretty soft but honestly, I never use the brush provided. I always take out the brush and the little black velvet cover first because I don't want to get them "dirty".

Anyways, here's the actual product.  Look at it, it's so pretty! It's Chanel's signature camelia. I don't know if I will ever actually use it, I'm so torn, it's so pretty so I don't want to ruin it. When I went to Asia earlier this year, I specifically went to a Chanel boutique to look for this, I didn't know only 2 stores that sells this product. I tried it on in the store and it's pretty on the cheeks too.

Rouge Coco Lip Stick - 434 Mademoiselle


This is not a new product, but I picked this up during the holidays while gift shopping. This color looks pretty ordinary in the tube but when I tried it out, it's a pretty brownish pink nude that goes with a lot of different skin tones. I remember wearing really light makeup when I tried it on the store and fell in love.

That's all for this haul, I know there's not much products but I have been on a no buy and really haven't bought any makeup. I hope you enjoyed this long due haul and have a great year!

Yours truly,

Ting

[Collection] Part 3: All About That Face 2016

Hello,

I hope you are enjoying my collection series so far. Part 3 of my collection continues to be about face makeup products, so this post will include primers, concealers, and powders. Let's get started right away!

(P. S. I added * to products I'm almost done with)


Primers

*1) Smashbox- Photo Finish Oil Free Foundation Primer

• It's a pore filling primer, it works really well. It's just like Benefit's porefessional except this is completely clear.

*2) Avance+ Mattifying Emulsion- Pore Refiner

• It smells awesome! I'm not quite sure if this is just skincare. I will reach for this when my face is dry and my pores are really visible.

3) MUFE- Step1 Hydrating Primer

• This is great during winter when my face is extra dry, it prevents my skin from flaking without being oily

4) Estee Lauder- Matte Perfecting Primer

• Like the name suggested, it's a mattifying primer. It is pretty hydrating though, it feels really nice on the skin. I don't think it actually mattify my skin through out the day.

5) Maybelline- Baby Skin Instant Pink Transformer

• This is really different from all other primers I have, it's actually pink. It brightens up the complexion and has SPF. I also don't reach for this, I guess it doesn't really wow me. 

6) Estee Edit- Pore Vanishing Stick

• My new favorite primer, it glides on so smoothly and fills up my pores. I included this in a couple of my favorites, you can check out my review there.

7) Chanel- Le Blanc Light Creator Brightening Makeup Base

• Click here for my short review on this primer 

*8) Smashbox- 24 hour photo finish shadow primer

• I find the formula quite thick. Nothing much to say about it because I don't usually put primer on my lids.

Concealers

1) Maybelline Cover Stick

• It is really creamy and coverage is really good. However, this shade does not match me that well, too light on me!

2) Bobbi Brown- Creamy Concealer Kit (Warm Ivory)

• It is super creamy and has great coverage. It melts into the skin easily, I recommend applying this with your fingers so the product will melt into the skin faster and more even. Also, because it is a cream product so I make sure I set it with powder properly.

3) Cover Girl+ Olay- Eye Concealer

• I don't reach for this product at all. The color is orange based which allows the dark circles to be covered easily. Other than that, I don't find this concealer too special.

*4) Rimmel London- Match Perfection Concealer and highlighter (shade 230 Fair/ Light)

• My all time favorite concealer, and it is super affordable too!

Powders

1) Rimmel London- Stay Matte Press Powder (Translucent)

• As you can see, the whole thing is beat up. The lid broke in half, the writings on the cover was rubbed off. The powder hit pan awhile ago, but till now I still can't finish it. The only thing I don't like is the packaging, other than that I love this powder!

2) Etude House- Dreaming Swan Veiling Pact SPF 25

• Honestly, I bought this for the packaging. This is from the swan lake collection from Etude house. It's just a normal blotting powder nothing fancy.

3) ELF Cosmetics- Tone Correcting Powder (Cool)

• Another powder I really like is this ELF tone correcting powder. It evens out my skin tone nicely, and the powder is pretty smooth. This was only $3!

There you go, all about that face! I hope you enjoyed this post, I have quite a lot of primers and I choose them based on the needs of my skin that day but I usually use pore erasing/ filling primers. As for concealer, my favorite has always been the Rimmel London one from the drug store. I finished at least 3 tubes, and every time I buy a new one the packaging changes. My favorite setting powders are also from the drug store, again Rimmel London and also the ELF powder. I've gone through 2 of the ELF powder already!

*Disclaimer: my makeup collection posts are not meant to brag, I wanted to document what I own and I was also requested to share. I know I have a lot of makeup, I'm trying to downsize and use everything I have, that's why I'm on a no buy!
