Chanel Les Beige Bronzer Review

Soleil Tan De Chanel is one of the products I've always dreamed of using and I told myself after my Accutane treatment I would finally splurge! But... the original formula has been reformulated and rebranded as Les Beige Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream. I was a little wary after hearing the new ingredients included Hydrogenated coconut oil, but I thought I would give it a go!

My skin is super dry and I wanted a good cream bronzer for a while. I was tempted by Nudestix Bondi Bae but you only get 7grams for £28..... and I love my bronzer. You get 30 grams in the Chanel Bronzer for £42. It's still a hefty price tag but works out at £1.40 per gram, whereas the Nudestix bronzer works out at £4 per gram!

One thing I will say is there is one shade.... one shade. In the modern day world there just isn't an excuse for providing one shade. Get it together Chanel. Universal complexion products just don’t and shouldn’t exist, I want to see an extensive shade range for not just foundations and concealers but bronzers and powders too.

The colour is on the warmer side and is not a colour I would use to contour by any means. for reference I am NW 10 in Mac foundation (so yes I am Casper the friendly ghost). I find the colour glorious, it looks like a natural tan as oppose to a muddy colour on my complexion. I love to use a large brush like the Morphe E3, it's the perfect size to swirl in the pan. The product blends seamlessly into my skin and wears so well, it stays on my skin all day!

Finally the coconut oil... so I have had no new spots since using this and it hasn't effected my skin negatively at all. I didn't use the old formula, so can't compare but I love this product, I love the tone of the colour, the packaging, the way it blends. I've found my holy grail bronzer.

June Empties

I can't believe another month has rolled around and it's time for another monthly empties review. I got through six products this month (I know, I'm proud) and it was a bit of a mix of everything; Haircare, Skincare and makeup. Firstly, I used up my La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Sensitive SPF 50 Sunscreen. This isn't my favourite SPF but it does do the job. I wear three pumps of this on my face every day and it has lasted about 3 months. I think the formula is ok it can feel a bit sticky and takes a while to sink in but it isn't my favourite but it isn't a product I don't like. I have repurchased this, because SPF is THE most important part of my skincare routine and when I ran out I knew I could run to Superdrug and repurchase this, because I did not want to go without. Secondly, I finished my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I cannot remember the last time I finished a foundation! This is, without a doubt, my favourite drugstore foundation. It bl...

July Empties

Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through. The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite. My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...
