REVIEW : Chantecaille Compact Make up


 Chantecaille compact make up - Powder Foundation - £48* Buy at space NK or Chantecaille (us only)


I have never used anything from Chantecaille before and decided to try this powder foundation,  I started getting bored of my liquid foundation and I used to use powder foundations all the time.

This Chantecaille foundation is a decent size and comes in this lovely big compact with a good mirror. The colour was good for my skin tone and I liked the product. I however couldn't wear it alone as a foundation. The coverage wasn't great and I didn't feel like I had any make up on at all.
It didn't really cover my problem areas very well or blemishes. It is a very light coverage. So I used it up as a powder. I applied it with my powder brush and it seemed to work nicer with my normal liquid foundation.

It was like the powder needed something to hold on to. I really liked this powder as a setting powder but not as a foundation. I liked the finish it left and my face didn't get shiny for most of the day but it's £50 I couldn't spend on a powder.

I would recommend this to people who want a really light coverage, who just need that layer but don't have spots or blemishes that the make up needs to cover.



REVIEW; Clinique face powder and brush

Clinique face powder and brush RRP £20 (boots) 
02 Transparency 2(VF)

I desperately needed a new face powder and wanted to try something new, I've never really used clinique before and was really interested in what their products would be like. I have really oily skin and I only use loose powder so was recommended this. The lady at the counter was really nice and wasn't trying to make me buy things I didn't want so I was really comfortable when trying this out in store, I tried it on my hand and loved it. I bought it and I really love it, I don't use the brush that came with it because its abit on the small side, I apply it with a retractable kabuki brush. 

The product is really nice its not heavy on the skin and it rubs in really easily. I love the smell, its so clean and fresh. The shade is perfect for me because i'm quite pink but like a translucent powder and thats what this is. The pot is huge and I can see this lasting ages, I also feel like i'm not using loads of the product like I do with other loose powders because its not very blow-away. (if you know what i mean) I like the packaging its really simple and looks expensive which I love. 

I think £20 is reasonable because the pot is very big and I think it will last me a while. Has anyone else tried this product, if so what do you think, worth the money?
