I was on a business trip to Baltimore Harbor East and my hotel was just next to the Chanel beauty boutique. The closest to me and it’s an hour away and you have to pay for parking normally.  So I got to finally try on and buy the Chanel Sublimage L’Essence De Teint foundation!  I also purchased the Baume Essentiel in Scintillement, which is Mermaids Kiss renamed, but I didn’t already own it and the sparkles are beautiful.  

I can see why people love their SAs. My SA was Rana and she gave me an amazing collection of samples to try, and took her time picking them out even though someone walked into the store while she was choosing them.  It makes you feel very special. 

 

Here is my current collection of Chanel foundations. 😁. Oddly, the No1 is in shade B30, the Sublimage le Teint original in B20, and the best color by far in the Sublimage L’Essence le Teint was BR22.  The B20 was probably always too light, maybe I purchased it during the winter.  The No1 and original le Teint are both well over two years old, I’m the queen of using makeup past it’s recommended “good for” date, but I probably need to stop using the original “le Teint”, which is beautiful but also pretty heavy.

I’ll let you know if I like the No1 or the Sublimage L’Essence de Teint more.

Also, they didn’t have the new blushes in stock yet as of yesterday. They did have the beautiful new lipsticks, but I didn’t buy one.

I loooove that your hotel was next to the Chanel boutique @curlychiquita! 😍 Excellent treats you picked up for yourself! 🛍 I love Chanel's base products, as well as many of their other beauties.

Thanks, @itsfi! It was fun!

@curlychiquita, what a wonderful experience you had at the Chanel boutique! I marvel at the thoughtfulness and generosity of the Sublimage samples! I'm also interested in the Sublimage L'Essence de Teint foundation. I have Chanel No 1, Ultra Le Teint, Vitalumiere Aqua, and Fresh Water Tint foundations. I  expect to finish the Vitalumiere and Fresh Warer Tint shortly. I'm also in the kingdom of using foundation long past the product use date. I had a beloved Bobbi Brown cream foundation that was discontinued and I used it until it separated so badly I couldn't whip it back together. Except for mascara, I pay no attention to product use dates at all. Would love to hear your thoughts on your new Sublimage foundation!

I hope you love the Sublimage L'Essence de Teint foundation if you get it, @TraceyEB!  I still love the No 1, too, but I’m enjoying my new foundation!

How wonderful, @curlychiquita ! 💖💖💖  I'd like to know what you end up liking.  I also use products past their use by date. 😁

[curlychiquita]

Thanks , @Titian06! it’s not that I think they’re past their due date, it just suddenly occurs to me how long I’ve had something. 😆

Wonderful purchases @curlychiquita and what a great experience you must have had! 💞 Having a fun and knowledgeable SA is so terrific! It’ll be nice to hear what you think about the foundation formula. Glad you found a good shade. (I’m the queen of that too btw. Keep stuff way too long I imagine! lol ) I didn’t know the Baume stick was renamed, thanks for the info! 🥰

[curlychiquita]

Thanks, @Sunnysmom! I don’t live in an area where you’d have an SA, but I can see why people do!

[Sunnysmom]

I think it’s a great credit to them when they help us so kindly wherever they are when we visit or call to find something too @curlychiquita ! 💞

Swatches of the new matte shades from my sweet SA . These are sooo comfy! They have a pretty sheen to them too. Like a satin matte for sure! I can see why they did both formulas as they are different and lovely in their own way.
