Review // Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder #10

As I nearly finished my MAC face powder, I wanted to try a new one and took advantage of my Italian trip to get this newest Chanel powder, whose shade #10 isn't sold in France. Bad start...

CONS

- All shades aren't available worldwide. Chanel, Why?

- It is perfumed with the signature Chanel scent: although it smells luxurious, it's also possibly irritating for sensitive skin.

- It's eye-wateringly expensive for a compact face powder: 48,50€ in France. But as I don't change my face powder very often, I was willing to invest (in duty free).

PROS

- The luxurious packaging, which is faithful to the Chanel elegance. For a change, the compact was released in beige, instead of the usual black colour: nice change; it's perfect in my book.

- It comes with a nice half-moon brush; although I don't use it, it may come in handy.

- This powder has a very finely milled silky texture; it's almost imperceptible on the skin.

- It does provide a healthy glow, as suggest its name; not too shiny, not to flat. I personally use the lightest shade as an overall face powder. I like it so much I am actually tempted to buy a darker shade to use as a bronzer (which is its supposedly prime purpose I think).

Verdict: Love it! I might be tempted to invest in a darker shade.
