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

This stuff seems really expensive...
will they give you a tester to try first [tight emoticon].. I'd be really pissed of if I spent my birthday money on something that didn't suit me..

yes i foyu look plausible enough

I'm off to buy some today. Anything that might make me look less like something from Night of the Living Dead (director's acne cut), don't care how expensive it is...

cod - thanks for the tip. Bought mine and am well pleased.
Got any tips for a more summery look though? think the limpide might start to look at bit pale by end of May?

rummum - when I went to buy some the lady gave me three testers so you should be able to get some.

ok my rl mate finbar has texted
s hes got some to
do you think sales are soaring?

in the summer id either get a different colour or just use it where needs must i.e on nose under eyes
i always use ti - perhaps more thinly in the summer

I tried it! I might buy some, but was humiliated when woman-with-orange-face told me I had to exfoliate (I am liquid in beige).

mmmm...might have to experiment with one in a different colour. Obviously need to look delightfully sunkissed not like a handbag

chanel consultants NOT comign out well here are htey

OK... I'm back...
after going to House of Frazer to look, there wasn't a chanel consultant in sight... so went to Debenhams.. that consultant was in the stock room and wouldn't be back for 10 mins... so wandered back to H of F and the consultant was back but said that because I had combination skin it wouldn't suit me.. and recommended something else... so I then went back to Debenhams where the lady there said it would suit me with my skin type and gave me a free sample phewwww
So I am very Happy...

The one I spoke to had the worst skin ever - fascinatingly horrific

OK I have just bought a cheapie foundation - L'Oreal Tranlucide, which reading the entire thread, does me in the same way this Chanel stuff does. However I am prepared to be wrong, so I will be going to check tomorrow and nag the Debenhams Chanel woman into a freebie.

The L'Oreal one is a good one too and it's £8.99. Don't what ever you do get the L'Oreal Infallible. I tried this thinking GREAT a foundation with staying power. It is VERY drying. Although would be OK for a big night out after beauty flash balm or something. Not for daytime

Okay, well I went shopping and the orange Chanel ladies weren't anywhere to be seen so I bought some Rimmel instead at £6.49 in Superdrug.

Pure class, I am.

no Chanel at my local Debenhams
I'm not going to buy it without a sample first either!

BUY BUY BUY away

will count up satisified punters

I'm going to try to get some tomorrow, hopefully Dickens and Jones in Richmond will have it.

I am still dissatisfied. Will try other Chanel counter when I get a chance but I don't think I can stand the smell, even to look dewy.

HC your sense of smell is really acute - how do you hack it?
