Quite beautiful, as expected. I do have MAC Shaft Of Gold, which looks close enough to this to where I don’t feel the need to get it. But; that other shade Rose Or is something that I hope to snag!
*Or Rose!
Thank you, dyslexia for the embarrassment! 😳
I swatched this in Nordstrom and it’s really pretty on my complexion. I just hesitate to spend that much on a highlighter. So pretty but Yikes $100
Does anyone know if Chanel makeup/perfumes is ever discounted by any retailers?
I can’t think of any instance of it being at a regular retailer 🙁 Chanel seems to be excluded from most promos!
this one looks really nice… I used up my healthy beiges luminzer .. so maybe time for a new one!
I can’t recall how Chanel highlighters usually look, or illuminating powder to call it what they do. Both of the ones in this edition are on a richer, warmer shade unless my memory is very off. I think they will look lovely on rich, deeper skin tones, can that be right? If so I think it’s a good thing as I always have a feeling Chanel historically haven’t been a very inclusive brand.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong and have mixed higher end brands with each other here. If I have I blame my least favourite season, fall! That’s my excuse for every and anything! 😉
