CHANEL BRUSHES REVIEW

Hello readers! So I have almost all the Chanel brushes, here’s a pic of them!

IMG_6511I just love looking at them! They’re not only luxurious, they also great high quality brushes! They work so well, I took pics of each brush individually so you could get a closer look at them!

THE TOUCH UP BRUSH

IMG_6519

This brush has been accompanying me everywhere! It’s been loving touching up with it and its soon soft! Also very dense, and well made! It’s priced at $45.00

FOUNDATION BRUSH #6

IMG_6522

This is the best flat foundation brush I’ve come across, ever. Unlike most other flat foundation brushes it blends foundation fabulously, and is easy to use. It’s priced at $45.00

BLENDING FOUNDATION BRUSH #7

IMG_6523

Another fantastic face brush by Chanel. This one is priced at $54.00.

POWDER BRUSH #1

IMG_6527

This brush feels so amazing on the skin. Helps me set my makeup flawlessly, and I’ve even used it for bronzer. I’m afraid Chanel might be discontinuing this brush because all of a sudden it’s not on their website…but it is on Macys website. It’s priced at $65.00

BLUSH BRUSH #4

IMG_6528

Perfectly sized to fit onto the cheek and onto the cheekbones. Priced at $54.00

CONCEALER BRUSH #10

IMG_6531

The concealer brush is priced at $32.00.

LARGE TAPERED BLENDING BRUSH #19

IMG_6532

Love the density of this brush and the control it gives. Great for packing color into the crease and outer V. Priced at $38.00

LARGE TAPERED BLENDING BLUSH #19

IMG_6535

Love how this brush is tapered to a point, blends eyeshadows out fabulously. Priced at $38.00

LARGE EYESHADOW BRUSH #25

IMG_6536

This brush is actually splayed out and fluffy on the ends, but I actually really like it. Priced at $38.00

ANGLED LIP BRUSH #33

IMG_6541

This brush is quite unlike many others I have seen in that it is angled, which makes filling in the lips with color easy peasy. Priced at $32.00

ANGLE BROW BRUSH #12

IMG_6538

The bristles on this brush are quite rough. They kind of feel like the bristles of a spoolie brush…so it’s like a spoolie brush and angled brow brush in one. Priced at $30.00

ULTRA FINE EYELINER BRUSH #13, CONTOUR SHADOW BRUSH #14,

& SMALL CONTOUR AND SHADOW BRUSH #26

IMG_6556

I decided to combine these three brushes into one picture, I’ll start from left to right. #13 is my absolute FAVORITE LINER BRUSH OF ALL TIME! It’s priced at $28.00. #14 is so tiny, it’s a great detail shadow brush priced at $28.00. #26 is basically just a bigger version of the #14, priced at $30.00

MY OVERALL OPINION

These are extremely well made, high quality brushes that work very well, and they all get an A+ for blending ability, and the CONTROL they give the user. But they are very expensive, but it is to be expected from Chanel. If your priorities allow it, I’d give these bushes a try without a doubt. If not that’s perfectly fine too. Hope you found this blog post helpful!

Clarins Lip Definers! Swatches & Review!

Recently I discovered the perfection that is Clarins lip liners!  Not only are they long lasting, but they are pigmented, and the colors go on so smooth and evenly! I have 7 shades out of 8.

Here are the swatches:

And now I’ll show you how they look on my lips, and I’ll briefly describe each shade:

azalea

Azalea is a medium cool pink.

paprikaa

Paprika is a dark coral.  One of my favorites.

Chocolatee

Chocolate reminds me of the color of milk chocolate.  Another favorite of mine.

bay rosee

Bay Rose is a rosy pink shade.

pralinee

Praline is a lovely neutral nude shade.  Not one of those pinky nudes.

rubyy

Ruby is a traditional cool red shade with blue undertones.

figg

Fig is the only shimmery shade…its a reddish cinnamon shade that I find looks gorgeous when sheered out with a nice gloss or lip balm.
