Chanel Hydra Beauty Creme

I thought I'd share my Holy Grail Moisturizer - Chanel Hyrda Beauty Cream.

 I have been using this moisturizer for around a year and I absolutely love it! I have repurchased it once and I use it each night. It's a bit (perhaps a bit is an understatement) on the expensive side, however, I feel for my skin, its worth forking out the extra money.

During the winter months my skin gets extremely dry, which leads to irritable, red skin so a good moisturizer is a must for me. 

Rather than rant on about the product, I thought I'd mix up my formatting and give you all a pro and con list!

Pro:

• The Product, as the name suggests, it really hydrates the skin without leaving it super oily.
• It smells great!
• You only need a small amount to cover a large area
• It gives my skin, particularly the cheek area, a nice soft finish.

Con:

• The product is expensive - it retails for around the $90 mark for 50grams.  This could be enough of a 'con' to deter you.
• If you use too much, it can leave your skin feeling oily. 
• The packaging doesn't really reflect the hefty price tag. 
• The scent isn't everyone's 'thing' - its slightly fruity with hints of aloe (Does that even make sense? 

Personally, even considering the price tag, I can't speak highly enough of this product, I love it!

Having said that, my bank account would love if you have any cheaper alternatives that will help my skin. Any Suggestions?

Until Next Time,

Chanel Eau Douceur Cleansing Water Review

Chanel Eau Douceur - Costs Around $63

If you have watched my YouTube Channel you will see I am currently in love with the Chanel Eau Doucur Cleansing Water aka fancy Makeup Remover. So much so, I have decided to do a review here on my blog rather than just mentioning it as part of a video.

I was initially skeptical about spending so much money on a makeup remover however, the ever so charming man at Chanel had me wrapped tightly around his little finger.

It comes in 150ml container which lasts a long time. However, for the the price, and brand expectation the packing is a smidgen cheap looking (This could just be me bring pretentious)

The pump is a good size and the actual product smells lovely. It wipes on easily and simply absorbs into the skin while your makeup comes off.

There are times I have to wear makeup that is extremely heavy and this really gets this off with out making too much of a mess, both on my skin and on the makeup pad. I use 2 round makeup pads, one for my face and neck and one for my eyes. On days I don't have much makeup on at all I just use the one pad. It actually amazed me how far the product spreads.

It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and fresh which I love. I find some makeup removers dry out your skin and leave a tingly feeling but this is the total opposite of that. It hydrates and really cleans your face as well as removing any makeup you may be wearing.

I love this product, I will definately re-purchase this. Even though it is expensive, I definately think its a fantastic investment for your skincare routine.

What are some makeup removers you like?

Also, to say thanks for reading, I am putting together a giveaway for my 20th post, so stay tuned!

Until Next Time
