Has anyone with fair skin tried the new Les Beiges foundation? I'm wondering if there's a truly neutral fair shade. BD01, in the golden range, looks like it could be a possibility, since in the only rl swatch I've seen it looked very light and didn't actually look golden. B10 is usually too dark and yellow for me, rl swatch of BD11 makes it look like it is golden like it's supposed to be, and rl swatch of BR12 looks too dark for me. I'm fair and neutral to slightly warm, so don't want to look overly golden, yellow or pink. Has anyone with similar skin tone tried it yet? Since I generally avoid fragrance in foundations I'd have to find a really great match in this to bother with it! 🤔

I'm curious about this as well if BD01 will be fair enough. I can't locate a foundation matrix to see if they have foundations listed that match up to it. I would love to come back to Chanel foundation, but ever since they got rid of their teint innocence line in .08 every shade they have made is way too dark for my skintone.

I picked up the new Camellia repair mask today (I got it on a presale for a GWP). FOMO hit me big time when my Chanel counter lady told me that she had sold almost all of her stock and only had 3 left. I was working and it appeared to be OOS on Chanel's mobile website so I went ahead and placed the order. It now appears it's not OOS on their website, and I can't find any reviews for it other than one by Nylon magazine, so fingers crossed it works with my skin as returns are kinda weird at this time which I get. Has anyone else picked this up? I'm kinda shocked that I didn't pick up any of the fall line (I think my rep was too), but I've almost paid that credit card off and I had a GC to use. Paying off specific store cc's has been the only good thing to come out of this pandemic for me (trying to find a silver lining) as I'm not out shopping like I used to be.

I picked it up last month when Macy's was having a 15% off sale on beauty. .I love it so much and my dry skin does too lol. It's thick and luxurious and it is scented, but to me, not overly heavy. Same scent as the other creams in the Hydra line, which I also use 😄

[niki172]

@twilightnicky do you wash your mask off or do you wear it overnight if you don't mind me asking. I should hopefully have mine delivered early this week and I'm eager to try it out.

[twilightnicky]

I wear it overnight as it is a leave on, didn’t realize that until I saw the packaging lol. Thought it was a rinse off 🙂

[blackkitty2014]

@niki172 I found this on their website. I leave it overnight when I used my sample couple nights ago. And yes it is heavy scent but I like the scent. I like it enough. I might pick it up since I ran out of overnight masks

[niki172]

@blackkitty2014 thanks! I'd seen that also, but was curious if people had tried it either way and liked it better one way or another. I have a ton of overnight masks (well not a ton maybe like 5-7 and a lot of samples), but am trying to find a good fit. Do you think you'll repurchase, or do you think you'll go back to another mask you already own?

[blackkitty2014]

@niki172 I’m lazy so I only want leave it on overnight mask. I tested it out and it worked for me so far. I will buy it. It’s expensive but not terribly expensive and I quite like it. 

[Sunnysmom]

@niki172 I received a sample of it with my order and have yet to try it because of some allergy issues going on but I can’t wait. Curious about fragrance also but haven’t opened it yet to sniff. 😊 Good for you on the cc , that’s amazing. You inspire me!  I’m working on a few also and it’s a battle. I love fall/ winter! 🥰

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom I hope you feel better soon! Hopefully I can keep the credit card paid off, but like you said the holidays are on their way which is always dangerous for the wallet lol.

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @niki172 you so kind! Stupid itchy allergy kind, going a little batty but I won’t take anything! Stubborn. Lol. I’m rooting for you, you got this! Choose wisely right?! Quality over quantity or if not then quality and quality. Lol 😆 

[eshoe]

@niki172 have you tried this yet? I’m going back and forth. Guessing it’s highly fragranced, based on the other skincare I’ve used from the line. I don’t mind it, it’s just nice to be prepared for it:)

[niki172]

@eshoe no I haven't as I bought it as part of a pre sale event for GWP's. I'll have it by the middle of the month. The 2 reviews I found for it didn't mention fragrance which I was curious about also.

[eshoe]

@niki172 depending on your current routine, it might be a hit no matter what. It looks good, I loved their gommage; the scent is reassuring I guess for me.

Holiday swatches

[Sunnysmom]

Swatch of the new Rosee Baume. It’s super sheer, exactly like others with a little tint of peachy rose gleam. I do wish it had more color but also didn’t really expect it to. Think best part of these are the darling little goodie bags my fun SA accompanies them with! This tweezer! 😂 🥰 @blackkitty2014 @Ispend2much6 @TraceyEB

Thx you @Sunnysmom . I stumbled into some YouTube video (non English speaking- I can’t tell for sure since miniBK broke my IPad) but according to the English subtitles she complained about its not super pigmented. Still very pretty based on your swatch 🥰

[Sunnysmom]

Oh no mini BK! 😫I’m so sorry about that @blackkitty2014 ! 
Yes lol she was correct tho it was to be expected as the others I have are also that way. Super super subtle but add pretty translucent sheen. Did you get one of them last year, can’t recall?
