Chanel Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer

I hopped on the bandwagon and purchased Chanel Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer.

Here’s what happened.

I was about to purchase another Soleil Tan De Chanel (more on that later) when I spotted the new Les Beiges Tinted Moisturizer further down the page.

I think I made an ‘ooh’ noise and then before I knew it a ‘many thanks for your order’ email was sitting in my inbox.

And there we are. No regrets 😉

From what I can gather, Sheer Glow Tinted Moisturizer is available in six shades. The availability of these seems to vary quite a bit across the internet, however, so a little research might be in order to get the specific shade you want.

When I ordered, only three shades were available; Light, Medium, and Dark, so I went for light.

Chanel says it’s a ‘tinted moisturizer that instantly evens out the skin with an imperceptible luminous veil, while delivering comfort and hydration.’

I have to say; they’re not telling fibs, lads. This is probably the best tinted moisturiser I’ve ever used.

The first time I squeezed some out of the bottle I was instantly struck by the density of it. It’s thicker than I’m used to with TMs, but in the best possible way as it provides a lovely sheer-medium coverage.

When I wear it, you can still see my skin, but it provides enough coverage (and it’s SPF30) to even out/add glow/cover mild pigmentation.

This was my biggest worry, as the pigmentation on the tip of my nose and on my cheeks really bothers me – but it does a great job of concealing it.

Back to the glow for a minute. It’s just beautiful. Luminous without being shiny, and it looks better and better as it wears throughout the day.

I’m not sure how it would perform on very oily skin, however, and it probably won’t float the boat of those who want or need extra coverage.

It is very buildable though. I added an extra layer for an evening out with a little bit more concealer, and it still looked very fresh and glowy.

As it’s Chanel, it’s quite expensive – around €44 depending on where you buy.

I’m wearing it here with a little bit of Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer.

Do you see what I mean about it still looking like skin? It’s very comfortable to wear, too.

So, to summarise:

SPF30

Sheer-Medium Coverage

Glowy AF

Available in 6 shades depending on where you shop

Wears well

Very buildable

Not great for very oily skin

Might need to be powered down/layered later in the evening

It’s available online now from loads of places. I think Feel Unique has one of the best shade selections, however, as there are currently five on the site.

And that, my friends, is the end of my review. I hope you enjoyed it.

(It took me bloody ages to write as I’m feeling a little bit rusty!)

Until next time 😉

I wrote about my grandmother some time ago, a stro I wrote about my grandmother some time ago, a strong, elegant, educated woman. A writer, a teacher, a mother, a powerhouse. 
A woman who impacted my life in such profound ways, that they’re still revealing themselves, two and a half decades after she left. 
Here I am today, writing for a newspaper that she wrote for many moons ago, about a subject that brings me back in time to her. My first introduction to beauty, to taking care of myself, to respecting myself. 
It’s a full circle moment, but equally, it’s a testament to the enduring power and influence of women. 
A friend gave me a beautiful card this weekend, and on the front it said ‘you’re some woman for one woman’. But I am not one woman. I am my grandmother. I am my mother. 
I am the sum-total of every woman who has ever made space for me. Every woman who raised me, and loved me, and cared for me, and placed a steady hand on my back when I needed it. 
The power of women is truly eternal, it’s everlasting. 
We must never underestimate the impact kind, supportive, trailblazing, inspiring, loving women can have. On a life, on a lifetime. And I am proof of that. 
Here’s to you, Christine ❤️

Newness from @amandaharringtonlondon that’s wort Newness from @amandaharringtonlondon that’s worthy of all the applause (and a place on the grid 😆).

There are many things I love about AH’s Tonal Tan Drops; they’re easy to use (apply alone or mix a few drops with moisturiser), they buff in beautifully, they’re not sticky, they don’t smell like biscuits, and most importantly - they deliver instant, natural looking results. 

I’m sold, all the way, forever and ever.

LED Face Masks are a form of LED Light Therapy, wh LED Face Masks are a form of LED Light Therapy, which has been around for a very long time - over 30 years in fact. NASA were the first to use it in the eighties in an effort to stimulate plant growth. During the experiments one of NASA's scientists noticed that his skin lesions had started to heal faster, and so began the era of LED Light Therapy.

LED Light Therapy is widely used today in hospital and clinic settings. So much so, that if you have visited a skin clinic for a facial or treatment in recent years, you've probably spent some time under an LED light.

So, what does LED stand for exactly? The answer is Light Emitting Diodes. These are the red and near infra-red lights that are absorbed by your skin cells when you have a treatment in a clinic, or when you wear an LED mask. 

Red Light and Infrared Light are incredible for the skin. They penetrate the deeper layers and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, soothe inflammation and redness, target fine lines and wrinkles and speed up skin recovery. 

@currentbody have two great LED devices I’ve been using recently; their LED Face Mask, and LED Neck and Dec Perfector. With regular 10 minute treatments (that’s all it takes!) these devices are clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by 35% in just four weeks, and 95% of users say their skintone, texture and tightness improved. 

If you’d like to try them, code SIMONE15 will get you 15% off the entire CBSKIN range on CurrentBody.ie (link in my Stories).
