What's Going To Be Coming At Your Face! ;)

I'M BACK and this is just a preview of what's to come! ;)

Battle Of My Tinted Moisturizers! Chanel VS Laura Mercier

It has been a while since my last blog post and my reason is that work has been consuming me and I have been feeling lazy as well HAHA! But enough of my excuses let's get on with the post!

So for the summertime, people usually lean towards a tinted moisturizer because it's not as heavy as foundation and it'll feel like nothing on your face. This summer I wanted to try out the most raved about Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer and the recent raved about Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and compare them to see if they really live up to the hype.

* Note! Picture heavy! :) *

First up! Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua; Shade B30 Beige Sable






Review!

Positive:
- Its a squeeze bottle so you get the right amount of product you want
- You have to shake it well to get the right results you're looking for or else it won't work the way it's suppose to
- Nice and lightweight formula
- Light to medium coverage
- Feels like nothing on the skin
- Gives me a nice dewy look
- Won't leave my skin feeling dry but more hydrated
- Don't need to use a setting powder for it to stay on

Negative:
I actually can't think of anything bad to say about it

Last up! Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Bisque






Positive:
- Comes in a squeeze tube
- Gives medium to full coverage
- I also have to give it a shake or the product will come out differently
- Great consistency
- Doesn't have much a scent to it

Negative:
- After 8 hours my skin would feel a little bit drying
- I have to set it with a powder foundation or a setting powder so it'll stay on all day
- I have to store it with the cap facing upwards or else the product will spill out -__-

Which One Is The Winner?
I would have to go with Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua because it truly does live up to it's hype and it does provide my skin with the coverage I need without feeling " over done ". But I will say that Laura Mercier is still a great tinted moisturizer just not as good as Chanel in my opinion.

Pricing:
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua - $49 CAN / $45 US ( 30ml )
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer - $46 CAN / $42 US ( 40ml )

Hope you guys enjoyed this battle between the two! Also leave me a comment of which one you prefer using or if you have a favorite already, tell me and I might go and try it out :)

Collective Haul For April!

Hello! I'm just in a blogging mood I guess lol so here's another one! So this really isn't much for a collective haul but it'll do :) let's get started!


These items are from Sephora!

First up is the Benefit's Total Moisture Facial Cream from their new skincare line; I've used it for atleast two weeks now and so far I'm liking it, hasn't broke me out and it has a pleasant scent to it. I think I might go and grab some other things from the line.
Next is Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer in Bisque; I have been eyeing this since two months ago and I was never able to find my shade but now I got my hands on it and I'm a happy camper cause I'm ready for the hot weather and put this baby on my face!
Last thing I got was a 100 point perk when I was checking out and I picked the Fresh Soy Skincare pack, I haven't used it yet so I can't say anything about it at the moment.



These items are from The Bay!

First item was from the MAC counter and I only got one thing and it was Ever Hip Creamsheen lipstick from their new collection Fashion Flower. I can't believe this color is already sold out at my counter, I wanted to get a backup because I love the color so much and it is a limited edition item but I guess I'm out of luck :(
Next was the Chanel counter; one of the girls that worked at the counter told me that the new summer collection was out and told me to check it out so I did cause I'm a sucker like that.. Anyways she was saying that the bronzers in this collection was selling like hot cakes and then said that I would really like it as well cause you can use it as a blush or even eyeshadow and I guess you could say I was sold like who doesn't like a multi-purpose product? Next she told me about the eyeshadow quad and it actually had some pretty colors like a light and dark green, a pink and a gray seemed like a good quad to me so I took that as well. While she was getting the products she also said that I was eligible for a free full size product and there was three to choose from, I think it was a facial scrub, eyeliner and hand cream I just took the hand cream cause I had many facial scrub and plenty of eyeliners haha

* The name of the items!
- Soliel Tan De Chanel 4 Facettes Bronzing Powder in 547 Bronze Rose
- Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow in 32 Lilium
- Body Excellence Creme Jeunesse Nourishing and Rejuvenating Hand Cream

The bronzer and eyeshadow quad is limited edition items so if you want them now, go get them now! *

Well that's it for post! I'll probably be doing a collective haul post at the end of each month unless I'm really excited to share my purchase(s) that I bought the same day. Hope you guys stick around :)
