Chanel and Mac Goodies.....

Last week, I went to the mall because my YSL powder was finishing. Even though I still love my YSL powder, I was thinking of trying the Chanel one because I wanted to know if it lived up to the hype. Well, I went in for powder but I actually came out with much more.

These are all the goodies that I picked up. I got the Chanel poudre universelle compact, the triumphant blush from new Mac collection and a lipgloss duo set from Chanel. 

I just love the packaging from the new Mac collection. I am looking into getting some more stuff from this collection, especially the sets.

These are the blush swatches. The first is the bronzer, called smooth harmony, which I use as a contour and the other two are blushes. Melba is in the middle and then it's peachtwist.

These are the lipgloss swatches which also came with a lipliner.

I think I would have to say that Chanel lipglosses are one of the best I have tried. They are very creamy and smooth.

As far as the powder goes, which was the basis of my shopping, I am still trying it out. As far as it compared to the YSL one, this one has a little less coverage. They both have similar finishes. So the main difference would be the coverage, except Chanel does have a powder similar to the YSL one, in terms of coverage. So, we'll see if the Chanel powder does live up to the hype or not. 

Until next time....

Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser: A Review

This is by far the bestttt facial cleanser that I have used. It has a creamy, milky consistency that does not foam.*
 *This is the main reason why I love this cleanser. If you like some serious foaming action then you would most likely be interested in their foaming version of this cleanser.

After washing my face with this cleanser, it does not dry out my skin which is perfect for me in the winter time, because it tends to be a bit more drier than to my liking.

I use this cleanser daily with clarisonic mia.
