a creme de la cremes post from my most trusted beauty writer... this is worth it's weight in GOLD to me! looks like I need to do some dabbling in Chanel beauty. and agree that Westman atelier contour is theeeee bestttttt. when does the post haircare drop?!?
This comment is worth its weight in gold to ME! Thank YOU for inspiring this! Okay you *absolutely* need to dabble in Chanel. I feel like you would equally love the clear lipstick that’s essentially fancy Chapstick. We both appreciate a high low moment 💅 Hair is COMING. You already know the MVP🤭
I loveee ilia! I’ll have to try their skin tint. I’ve been using Summer Friday’s / tinted La Roche-Posay Sunscreen Skin Tint. I feel like Ilia is similar
Oh that sounds like a nice combo! The Ilia skin tint is actually quite different than the LRP sunscreen. It’s a lot thicker (in a good way) and bit more coverage (but not full coverage). Where the LRP feels almost more like sunscreen with a bit of foundation Ilia feels like the reverse 💖
I tried the Dior stick but it separates on my oily skin, so I had to go back to Merit! Have you ever tried the Lisa Eldridge skin tint? That’s my real ride or die!!
I love the coverage of the Erborian, but the second tube I bought was so scented I had to return it. I’m hoping that was just a one off!!!
Ah that is interesting on the Dior stick! I run more on the dry side (and Merit is always a bit matte on me) so this all makes complete sense! I have NOT tried that skin tint but I will add it to my list – I just looked it up and it has rave reviews!
On Erborian, that is SO odd. I’m just about to buy my next tube so here’s to hoping it doesn’t stink!!!
The way I patiently await my Anieca gold star ⭐️🥹As a reward for my good work, PLEASE buy a Chanel lip and/or/preferably and the highlighter stick. I know you equally appreciate Merit but it has to be said…Chanel is playing in an entirely different league. Oops I said it!
What a great post. And here is my confession: I have tried thousands of products in my life and I own over 300 hundred but I have never tried Chanel's skincare or makeup. This article made me feel a bit of FOMO, I must really be missing out. But you know what stood out the most? Your amazing haircut. GIRL!
Omg JESS! The time for Chanel is NOW!!!! Start with the highlighter baume - it’s a no brainer. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t LOVE it. If you’re feeling shoppy, get yourself a lippie too💋 A good starter is the Coco Rouge in dreamy white - I like to say it’s basically just fancy chapstick hehe
And THANK YOU! I’ve been about the bob life for the past few years and I’m never looking back. My hair is incredibly curly and coarse so it’s a real labor of love🥰
The good thing about Chanel is that you can find it at every airport. Mentioning this because in my side of the world, I cannot really purchase beauty items but when I do travel… , it’s my largest suitcase! Thank you for the recommendations and for just being so kind, much appreciated!
International Chanel - I can’t imagine a better souvenir! You must get a little something for yourself next time you travel. And yes yes, Scotland is simply the best. I connect with the country and people on a soul level 🥹 I’m sure I’ll post a few photos once I get there! Xx

Haha. Gemini 15 personalities. So accurate. Same here.
For me, the Chanel lip in nature perfectly captures my personality's lack of focus 🤭 Us Geminis are multifacted 💅
Definitely buying.
You'll never go wrong with a Chanel lip <3
