Soleil Tan De Chanel - Universal Bronzer and Illuminating Fluid

Hi everyone :)

Today I have a review for you on two of my favorite summer products by CHANEL.



Soleil Tan De Chanel

1. Universal Bronzer
2. Illuminatig Fluid.



These two products give me the perfect summer glow.

The Universal Bronzer has a very nice texture. It is between a cream and a mouse. I use it in the contouring areas of my face as base for the overall bronzer.

The Illuminating Fluid is a liquid bronzing highlight that I apply on my cheeck bones. It gives a very nice bronzing sheen to the skin. I have tried mixing it with a foundation as well, and it looked very glowy and beautiful.



Here is a heavy swatch of both products



A blended Swatch



Application

I have tried different application and different brushes with both products. I think the key of using these two products successfuly is to choose the right techniqe and the right brush.

Below are the brushes that worked the best for me with these two products.



Sephore minerl powder brush #45: the best brush for the universal bronzer. It grabs the right amount of product, and blends it beautifully.

Mac 130 brush I apply the product with my finger then blend it with this brush. Works perfectly.

Let me know if you have any of these products, and what do you think of them.

Stay Happy, Healthy and Beautiful!

My May 2012 Beauty Favorites

Hey beauties!! Its June, and its time for May favorites. I have decided to share with you every month, some of my favorite products, that I've been enjoying the whole month :)

May Favorites

1. My Mac eyeshadow palette

I have used this palette most of the days of May. I almost forgot how much I love my Mac shadows :D and last month I re-discovered them again.

Although I love them all, we'll look at some swatches only:

Above Raw from L to R: Silver ring, All that Glitters, Twinks.
Below Raw From L to R: Amber lights, Tempting, Romp.

2. Mac Moleskin single eyshadow

This is my favorite crease color. It is the best blending color. It is matte and very pigmented. I use it with any eye look, but unfortunately it is a limited edition :( I can't remember which collection it came in, but I hope Mac repromotes it :S

Here is the swatch of Moleskin

3. MAKEUP FOR EVER Aqua Cream #13

Amazing base for eyeshadows. You can use any eyshadow color over this base, but I love it with neturals. Also I use it in the inner corner of my eyes as ahighlight, and sometimes over the lid by its own. Gorgeous color, LOVE IT!

4. Lancome Rouge IN LOVE no. 200B

This collection is the long lasting lipsticks from Lancome. I love the way it feels on my lips. It is very smooth and shiny. The bright colors have more staying power. This shade is very natural. I love wearing it if I am doing a bronzed look. It compliments my skin tone alot.

4. Revlon Lip Butter "Cotton Candy"

If you don't have any of these lip butters, you are missing alot. These lip butters make my lips so smooth, and the color pigmentation is awsome. I've been wearing cotton candy alot this month. If I dont know what to wear, I'll just grab this. Its baby pink with gold shimmer.

Here is the swatch

5. Mac Extra Dimension Skin Finish "Superb"

This highlight has an intersting texture, but gives the skin a really nice glow.I feel that the shimmers melt into my skin when I apply, and belnd it! I use it on highlight areas. Falling in love with it, and thinking of getting the lighter shade they had in the collection. I hope its not sold out :S Superb is like a rose gold shade.

Here is a heavy swatch

6. Garnier Roll-on anti dark circles

I've always hated under eye concealers because they crease on me. But since I have tryed this product. I use it every single day wether am wearing makeup or not !!(Is that possible??!! Me, not wearing makeup!! haha) Its a treatment and a concealer at the same time. You should definitely try it :)

7. N7 Protect and Perfect Hand cream

Living in a country with high temp, made me search for a hand cream that has SPF in it. Then I found this hand cream which not only has SPF, it also has anti ageing properties, which is amazing. I keep it in my bag all the time and I wear it whenever I drive during daytime.

8. Bath and Body Works "Into The Wild"

I love this scent for summer. It is so refreshing in shower. and I combine the shower gel, body lotion, and the body spray for extra freshness :D next time you pass by Bath and body works, go check it out and let me know what do think of the scent.

So here wee come to the end of my May favorites. Let me know, if you have been loving any product this month.
