chanel ultra le teint chanel foundation powder review

I found a new foundation powder! When I do my makeup, I am very simple. I don’t like liquid foundation and I like to keep things as streamlined as possible. My routine consists of blush, foundation powder, eyeliner, and eye shadow if I am getting dressed up for something. Sometimes I will wear lipstick, but it is usually sheer and never cream. I prefer wearing chapstick on a daily basis.

Recently it came to my attention that the foundation powder I had been using had an ingredient in it that I didn’t want to put on my skin. So, I did some research and found Chanel had a foundation powder made from clean ingredients. Love that!

This was an easy transition since I am already a huge Chanel makeup fan. My blush is Chanel and most of my nail polish is Chanel; but you may already know that. haha

I have been using Chanel’s Ultra Le Teint foundation powder for one month now, and so far I love it. Although there is a pad which you can dampen and make the powder thick, I prefer keeping it dry and light by using a brush. It goes on evenly and provides the right amount of coverage I need for my skin. Love that!

Makeup I currently love from Chanel:

So, if you are looking for a fabulous foundation powder to either layer over liquid foundation or wear alone, like me, then give Chanel Ultra le Teint a try! I love it!

Chanel nail polish winter 2024 review

Chanel Winter Glow

The Chanel nail polish winter 2024 collection is here! This is new. In the past, Chanel used to release their spring collection during the winter season, but in the past few years it has slowly crept into a March release. Now, Chanel has blessed us with a winter collection. Love that!

The “Winter Glow” collection from Chanel, for the winter 2024 season, includes a variety of makeup products, and two nail polish hues. The nail polish colors are not gel but have a gel-like or jelly finish. Instead of a cream or metallic, Skieuse and Glaciale are not opaque, they are see-through.

As you can see below, Chanel Skieuse nail polish is a pink color which glides on smoothly and provides a streak-free finish, but with two coats, you can still see my nails. The same goes for Chanel Glaciale nail polish, which is a white-like hue. For both colors I used one base coat and two coats of color.

If you are looking for an alternative to natural nails or clear nail polish, this is your season! You have a choice between two barely-there hues. If you prefer a more opaque manicure, stick with Chanel’s other colors and wait for spring.

Shop the Chanel nail polish winter 2024 collection online-I included a few opaque colors from Chanel’s collection for variety:

What do you think of Chanel Winter Glow? Do you like these jelly-like polishes? Or are you waiting for spring?

One of the things I can never figure out is why beauty companies don’t release winter nail polish collections. Do they think we are all wearing gloves the entire day? Well, not here in California at least! I’m sure people in colder climates take their gloves off indoors, which means, all of us deserve fabulous winter nails!

I decided to curate a few beautiful nail polish colors and deem them winter-worthy. This sparkling black nail polish from Chanel’s holiday collection is perfect for the current black nail polish trend, and the sparkles keep the festive mood from the holidays going throughout the winter season. Love that!

Pastels were starting to trend in 2023, and for 2024 we will see more! Why not make your nails 2024-ready with lavender or light blue nails? Love these hues!

Of course, navy nail polish is hot right now. This is a classic, dark blue hue which works well with any ensemble. I am a huge fan of navy nails. Love!

So, without further ado, here are a few fabulous nail polish colors for the winter season. Spring nail polish will come in within a month, but we don’t have to wait! Let’s winterize our nails right now!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more nail polish in the new year!
