IS IT WORTH THE HYPE: Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua


Price $77 au.
Chanel counter in Myer Australia but also available online.


I have been on a quest for a very long time to find a natural looking foundation that still covered what it needed to. Eventually I decided to give this one a whirl so I jumped in the car and made my very first Chanel purchase!

Pros:
Looks like a skin finish
Lightweight
Build-able
Semi Dewy in appearance
Contains SPF 15 (enough to wear out every day, not enough to make you flashback in photos)
Glides on the skin effortlessly and makes your skin feel and look amazing all day!

Cons:
The price doesn’t agree with my bank account

This foundation is just soo beautiful on my skin (really, I wish I didn’t like this so much). I was surprised how quickly I fell in love with this product because I am usually so picky when it comes to foundation, but wow!

Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua is such a beautiful foundation for when I’m wanting to look naturally flawless. I usually apply this one with a flat top kabuki brush with in 5 minutes. The formula is quite thin meaning a little can go along way. During the day time I’ll apply one coat on my face then head on over to my nasty little blemishes that require some maintenance with some concealer then set everything down with a translucent powder. I find this is the best way to achieve the most natural look out of this foundation (or any other for that matter).

This foundation is completely fine to build up on the skin, I find for night time all I need is two coats to achieve the coverage I am after; however you are able to build it up even more! Why build up a natural foundation such as this to wear at night time instead of just wearing a full coverage foundation? Well I am just in love with how this applies and how it looks and feels on my skin! Not to mention it has great staying power to leave my skin looking fresh and flawless all night long.  

The packaging is nice and sleek making it a handy little travel item and contains your typical volume of foundation (30ml). Although sadly it doesn’t come with a pump it is a squeeze top container, which in my opinion works better due to the runny formula and for hygienic purposes.

This is my new go to foundation for every day natural looking skin. If you are chasing something similar then look no further! Chanel do give out samples so if you don’t want to commit to that price tag straight away then don’t be shy to give it a go first!

Overview
Does this product work? Yes it is stunning
Is it worth the price? I wish it wasn’t but it is 
Would I repurchase? Most definitely
