Product Review: CHANEL Blushes

I've had these blushes for almost a week now and boy am I in love with them! :) I've been using them for the past couple of days so I thought I should share with you guys what I think of these Chanel blushes. :)









Let's start with the reviews.

Chanel Joues Contraste in Tea Rose

Unique powder blusher imparts a flattering radiance to cheeks. Remarkably silky texture for easy application and subtle shading. Accentuate cheekbones for a youthful look. Softer tones around the eyes soften expression and rejuvenate.

(Product description taken from the website)




Pros:
- Very pretty light pink/rose shade with this sort of sheen that won't make it look flat on your cheeks.
- Texture is really silky and very finely milled.
- Feels very light on the skin.
- Goes on very sheer and might take a few swipes to show up on some skin tones (It takes 2-4 swipes for it to show on me and I am NC30 for reference).
- Locally available at Rustan's (but they don't stock up that much).
- Buildable colour.
- Easy to blend.
- Lasting power's pretty decent.


Cons:
- I find it a little powdery.
- I don't find it that pigmented at all.
- Pricey for a blush (SRP 2350) with 4g of product.
- Scented but eventually fades after a few minutes (this may be a pro to some but I prefer unscented products over scented ones).

Will I buy again? Yes but not this shade. I'd probably go for a different color.

Overall rating: 4/5



Chanel Irreelle Blush in In Love
A very pretty coral pink shade that received mostly positive reviews at MakeUpAlley. Some even described it as NARS Orgasm without the shimmer. But I don't think so. It is uniquely beautiful in its own way. :)




Pros:
- Pigmented, a little goes a long way. (Easily shows up on me)
- Staying power is good.
- Texture is silky and finely milled as well.
- Unscented.
- Not shimmery at all.
- Feels light on the skin.
- Buildable.
- Easy to blend.
- Locally available at Rustan's (but just like what I mentioned earlier, they don't stock up much on Chanel products)

Cons:
- Has very little sparkles but they are gone in a few seconds.
- Needs a light hand in applying.
- C'est si cher! Too expensive for a blush at 2.5k for 6.5g of product.

Will I buy again? YES! But I think it will take me years to finish one compact. :) And I couldn't find Irreelle on the Chanel website so I am assuming this might be discontinued. But JC has this shade so I am not too worried. :P

Overall rating: 4.75/5. I would've given it a 5 if not for the hefty price tag. :) I am definitely in love with this In Love blush! :P

Ta! :P
