I bought some Chanel Vitalumiere foundation today....

[harpsichordcarrier]

it ROCKS, really.
makes me look like I actually HAVE had some sleep in the last six months
have chucked my other stuff int he bin
and dd1 was playing with the Chanel lippy testers and when I stopped her she had a massive strop, yelling "BUT I NEEEEEEEED MAKEUP!!!"
she's not three till next month

boring
i want field reports

I bought it cod (do I ever need much persuading on cosmetics ). I'm "clair". I like it - will last ages as only a tiny bit is needed, lovely light coverage.

I also treated myself to Chanel's blanc universale - a skin illuminator that got great reviews in Times Style mag - it is gorgeous.

It is indeed fab Cod - I am clair too and it is just about spot on, it has an excellent no make up quality to it. What kind of powder does anyone think goes well over it?

i dont use any powder
puff fess up ont eh Chanel thing

I'm returning to work in a few weeks after maternity leave so I am going to buy some then and will let you all know how glowing and radiant they all think I look instead of like the old hag they will be expecting!!

great! antoher new recruit

I love this chanel product too .. and the lip pencil, eyeliner thing ... the best!!

tell tell

i have this chanel aqua crayon lip colour stick in cognac .. love it, but can't find it in london
precision eye definer in black with smudger
and precision brow definer with a little brush
loved the vitalumiere coz only needed a tiny amount and gave a natural looking glow

ok I'm converted, used it today and it is luuuvvrrrrley and i used a touch of benefit powder on top

do you look radiant?

Ok I have been lurking on this thread and yesterday I went to try the stuff. It smells funny and the lady that put it on me was a really scary beige colour. It made my face itch round the edges and when I scratched it dusty stuff fell off. Is this what grown-ups' make-up is all about? Being beige and dusty and smelling funny?

I don't know if I looked any better, but you could see I had it on. Did she do it wrong?

oh fgs franny
try and be over 14

did oyu lok at yourslef in a mirror

I was trying. This was my attempt to be a mature groomed woman. Yes I looked in a mirror. I looked beige. And dusty.

betetr htan pink and blothcy perchance

Hmm.

being pink and blotchy is free, though.

right I have a question about this stuff, I am freckly and have an olive complexion, very rarely wear foundation as it looks false due to my freckles. So can i have some or do I need to stay in foundation obscurity forever?

i think tis quite sheer

go adn get a try

I think I may, need a facial pick me up from time to time. Find make up counters very off putting though

i find honesty is the best policy re make up stands
go and tell the woamn oyu find them a bit sacery and you arent a normal make up person#
t heyll take pity on you adn my bung in some freebies

yay freebies would be good , I will do this next week, will probably have to remortgage to fund but in desperate need of a pick me up!

i think it does make my skin more radiant and it gets top marks for the being the most natural looking and feeling foundation

just been looking at the website, think I'm going to try it, if it doesn't suit my freckles then my sister can have it for her birthday

franny did the women put the right stuff on you, i did't find it dusty iyswim infact if anything my skin is more dewy (ooh got a sample of energising morning cream from clarins counter, good stuff) maybe she put way too much on and your skin reacted??

no in fatc not dusty at all
n more slimey

diud she powder you maybe
