My opinions reflected in these videos are 100% my own.
I would love to see the old version on one cheek and the new version on the other so we can see the difference on the face.
This is the number one complaint I have about beauty companies. The second is discontinuing staple products.
Completely agree!! I don't even know why they think it's a good idea ugh
Probably boils down to money = increasing their profit margin...
Me too! Nothing alienates a customer more than taking a beloved product and putting out an inferior version of it. I just don't understand. Even drugstore companies do this! Looking at you, Milani! I am still not over Milani ditching their lovely 12 pan formula that was perfection and was better than high end or any drugstore products.
Like the Chanel bronze tan! 😫
@@sabaviles would you say they might be using less expensive ingredients in the new formulations? What would be increasing their profit margin?
“This box may contain heartbreak..” lol don’t know why but that made my day ❤️😂
That was cute.
This whole video had the vibe of “We’re really sorry but you didn’t get the job!” 🤣
'Reformulated' - A makeup curse word... 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
Thumbnail has me 😂😂😂
Too bad the new blushes have the same names as the old formula. It seems a little deceptive. They are clearly very different. With all the choices available, I'm going to pass on these. Thank you for the review, Michele.
Chanel is using lower quality ingredients and still charging a high price tag 🏷 Very glad to see people in the comments realize this!
Reformulations have let me down for years, especially with perfumes. It's never the same. They say it will be good, but nope. lol
I think it's because it's almost always due to cost cutting. Sometimes it might be because of a shortage of an ingredient or a switch to vegan recipe like with Bite Lip Mask.
@@ChrissieSM YES!!!! Same with Givency Linterdit! When they released it again, I was so excited! It smells NOTHING like the original which was a huge letdown and I still HAD a tiny amount of the original that I had kept for sentimental reasons so my grown up nose smelled both!
Reformulation or recipe overhauls are never good though brands lived off the reputation from their OG product for years. I'm glad Social Media drags them now when they try to sell us sth for better while it's clearly not. It's always cost cutting while profit maximizing.
@@ChrissieSM I loved Diorissimo when I was younger and I smelled it again and it seemed different. Also the SA was like "it's old lady perfume" and I was just AGHAST!
This is what I have been saying all along with Chanel. They keep reformulating when it's not necessary. Come on. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
What do you mean “not necessary”?!! Those quarterly bonuses for saving 5c per product will not pay themselves! ;)
This reformulation breaks my heart. 💔💔 The SMOOTHNESS of a Chanel blush is what made it so special. 🙁
OMG Michele, My heart is beating so fast when I saw the thumbnail. Yesterday I purchased 3 of the old blushes just in case. I'm watching now. xoxo
What are your favorite shades?
PLEASE Chanel!! Do NOT become cheap and ordinary!! Been loyal to you SO long!! Makes me want to cry Michele....
Why would they do that like WTF. Dont they know we will actually apply it to our faces and notice. The answer to why would they must be to cut cost on ingredients🤷♀️
I bought two Chanel blushes about two weeks ago based off your recommendation and the sheen you talked about in past videos. When I received them I was surprised that they didn’t have that much of a glow. Now I know why! 😫🤦🏻♀️
160.000 🎉🎉🎉Thank you so much for swatching the new chanel blushes. I do not understand WHY they did it. I will buy some of the older version as a backup . I am so disappointed about the new Dior Lipliner. They have them for ages and I use 593, Brun figure, at minimum 15 years. Now I bought the new Lipliner in No. 100 , nude, and I‘ m not ok with the new formula. Less pigmented and on my lips it does not last. So sorry.I bought also backups for this liner, it‘ s one of the shades that I always use mit a nude lipstick. They should ask their customers before reformulating winners!
I agree! I think cosmetics companies need to come out with a way of reaching out to their customers (if the customers agree to it) and get a feel for what they think before they start changing colors on beloved products and reformulating. That would also help the company too because I am sure they are going to lose money if the majority of their customers aren't fans of the new formula.
I prefer a more pigmented blush because of my skin tone. If I have to build and build, it can show my texture in my cheeks. That probably isn’t an issue for some people.
Thank you so much for this review and for the swatches. This was sooo helpful and I am beyond happy that I purchased the old blushes yesterday. xoxo
The new Brun arrived this morning & I like it. I was afraid it would be too dark for my pale, pale skin, but it does go on light enough to build. But I’m beyond happy that I repurchased Alezane, Jersey & In Love last year when I got a backup of Beige Tweed after hitting pan. Have to agree - I’m not crazy about the orangey-yellow undertones of the new compared to the rich blends of the old.
Why not release a *second* line of blushes in the new formula instead of messing up near perfection?
Chanel releases new lines of pretty much everything as it is, so a new line of blushes wouldn't be off character.
thank gawd two weeks ago i just bought some of their blushes. yet i have absolutely no idea if these are the new or old ones. i just bought them too
because probably Lucia is raving of her own line in everything, her own talentless line, and she is replacing everything that was good, or that was created by Peter Philips
“Why!!!????” Lol love that.
Michele this was really very informative. By your arm swatches I really liked all of the older versions. Why these companies have to change their formulas are a mystery to me.
I'm waiting on one to get here and I didn't even realize they reformulated. I have two more I just got I wonder if it's the formula. Edit to say I got the old formula thank goodness
How can you tell if it is the old formula if you purchase a new one now?
@@shaneebirch4608 on the nordstroms site they have both of them up in different spots
Hi dear Michele, actually all colours look amazing on you!!!!!!!!!!👍🤩🤩🤩🤩 But i know how much you love blush, i don't, i always HAVE blush😂 (to) much red undertones in my face. I only can handle the lightest blush shades, or i don't use it. But it's true about Chanel, collection finished is collection finished, i don't know why companies do that!!!🙃 I love their eyequad from Christmas 2019 (Les Ornements de Chanel) so much, but i know, when it drops on the floor, it's finished. Wish those companies would listen more to all of us!!! Have a wonderful day!!!!🖐😘😘😘😘
Just typical why do Beauty brands do this? Every time a product is reformulated or colour changed it is never for the better and they’ve been doing it for years. I’ve lost count of the number of foundations, eyeliner pencils, blushes, perfumes etc that I’ve loved, only for them to be replaced by something inferior or discontinued altogether! So frustrating!🥰💜
Agree!!!
It’s like a long bait and switch. Humf! Why degrade a good thing and your brand name. Because when you degrade your product you degrade your brand name too. I just don’t understand it. It makes me feel that they’re trying to use lower grade ingredients and production to get the same price for lesser cost output. They forget that their customers are smart and KNOW the difference. It’s such a shame. I hate when companies do this. When Under Armour came out with their first athletic shoes they were PERFECTION in every way ~ design, fit, impact cushioning, stability, streamlining, construction, etc. Then in less than two years when I went back to get another the joy was lost as the construction of their crosstrainers where no longer superior. I was SO disappointed as they prided themselves on giving their customers a superior product. It was truly like a bait and switch or they decided they no longer liked their profit margins and decided to “sneakily” ~ no pun intended lol! ~ downgrade the product to get more profit. Whatever the motivation it was truly disappointing. 😫
It’s all about money. I hear FOMO setting in. Everybody rushing to buy the old formula whether they want or need it
@@FitChickGlows Customers are smart? Oh plz they've been selling us reformulations to inferior products in every aisle of consumer goods since the invention of capitalism. And we've been sucking it up due to good marketing. Brands lived off good reputation up until 50 yrs. Glad that's Social Media is now around and finally we can expose them to less informed costumers though it seems boomer age executives haven't catched that we don't accept getting lied to because of their profit margin anymore.
planned obsolescence
There are some Chanel counter associates denying the reformulation or just completely unaware. I’ve called six different counters 😂
They take us all for stupid, you know when swatching a product and then applying it to your face if the formula’s changed!🤨
Thanks for going ahead and buying the same shades to compare with the "old" formula. I put that in quote because I loved the 90s powder formula and still have a couple of those compacts. When I started buying makeup again a couple years ago, I wondered why the blushes look so funny like plastic in the pan. The only baked one I own is the new spring duo, and the pan of the blush side is already seized up. I can’t say I’m sorry to see the baked formula gone except it’s a shame for those who like it. But as you said the blushes take a long time to use up.
THANK YOU for this PSA, I almost fainted, Joues Contraste has been a luxurious staple!!! I have some in my stash that are over 10 years old and they're still glorious with the rose scent...just hauled Pink Explosion, Rose Initiale, and Malice in the old formula from Bloomingdales. Looks like online retailers have the new shades with the old shades in the new formula in a separate tab vs. the old shades and old formula.
I wonder, is there a packaging designation that would hint to old vs new formula? Thank you for this video. Sorry the actual product was disappointing.
When I got on Nordstrom the new formula actually says new! The older formula is just normal.
I just bought my just in case favourite blush “140 tweed beige” because they are still selling it in Asia!
I liked the colors of the old formula much better than the new one, especially for my cool complexion. I don’t currently own any Chanel blushes, but I was considering picking up the Alazane. I definitely want the original formulation! And I agree with you on the difference in texture. The old version is much smoother than the new one!
This was so helpful . I’ve been thinking about replacing my super old shades for new ones. Knowing now that the formula has changed and isn’t as good...I will repurchase the shades I can in the old formula . Those shades are 64 Pink Explosion and 99 Rose Petale . The third shade I have they no longer make. It was shade 15 Orchid Rose which was the perfect shade to wear with any makeup look bold or natural.
I'm just now getting into luxury makeup and haven't tried their blushes, so thank you for the info !! Have a great Weekend..Hugs
I love Initial Rose, perfect for my skin tone but the new reformulation is completely different :( ! I will definitely go for a backup! Thanks for the video !
I just received a new formulation. I am weird in that I love scented makeup or skin care. It is a big part of the sensory experience for me. The scent of Chanel blush was iconic to me. I have used it since the eighties. And now the scent has a barely there rose/chalky scent. Additionally , while I enjoy many different brands of blush, Chanel was the best in my opinion. While it is not horrible, it is definitely a step down. I am sad.
Not only is the older formula for alezane smoother and more pigmented, but I noticed that the blush has a dome shape (old) vs. a flat surface (new).
Do all the new ones have the flat top?
I would also like to know! Just to know when I go to an Chanel counter to investivate, that I am actually buying an old one.
@@ultraviolettas Yes, judging from Michele's video. I purchased mine 2 years ago and has that dome shape. Today, it still maintains that shape as a little goes a long way with Chanel blushes.
@@alidagerber I hope they sell the old version of these blushes at Chanel counters but doubt it. Any time a cosmetic company puts out a reformulated product, it's never quite the same.
O gosh, I'm hoping for the best! Going to ask them to open it first before I buy to see if it's dome shaped... If it's flat, I'm running!
I feel like that happens to me all the time!!" Why!" It seems like all my favorite products!...🤣❤🙏
This is why I stopped buying Chanel. They kept discontinuing all of my favorites. The reformulation of the bronzer was the final blow for me 😢
The reformulation of the bronzer was the ultimate let down. I think they reformulated the loose powder as well, but not sure if they did with the les beiges pressed ones. I have an old les beiges powder in a deeper tone as I use it as a bronzer, and haven't bought a new one yet to compare.
@@tineegonzales7365 now that you mentioned it, my powder didn’t feel as nice or last like how I last remembered.
The new bronzer formula broke me out and didn’t last. That was my final return and never again. I now use Tarte, Kosas and Tower 28. I’m coincidentally also moving towards clean makeup brands/options.
I notice in general, products tend to be changed and companies don’t always say. It’s so frustrating because it feels like they insult our intelligence like we won’t notice anything different.
@@punkypudgy480 Sorry to hear about that. The most likely suspect for you breaking out is the coconut oil in the new formula. Not a really good idea to be putting that in any make up or skin care product.
@@tineegonzales7365 I agree! I've had an allergic reaction before to other coconut oil based products. Just not the fruit itself.
I feel the Chanel move was to join the trend and bring new customers versus working on retaining customers. I'm not sure if I am explaining myself correctly.
That reformulation alone was what broke the camel's back for me (sorry for repeating myself) and decided to try new brands all together.
The same happened with Huda Beauty, Too Faced, Marc Jacobs, Dior and Glossier. The list keeps going on. All either changed packaging for the worst, discontinued or totally reformulated products/formula.
I just love how you are so ok with being so silly, and yet you still do it all completley straight faced. Makes me cackle
I also hate how by the time I'm getting into luxury makeup chanel ruined everything :( I'll never get a chance to experience their blushes now....
FYI I see Chanel's older blush formula is still available on Nordstrom! I am going to get a couple of backups of my faves because I love the older colors and formula!
@@Shimmerluxe How do you know if a site is selling the old or new formula?
@@mumu87 I can tell because they have Chanel blushes listed twice on the site and I am familiar with the shades of the blushes in the old formula so that I can tell the difference. For instance, my favorite blush, Pink Explosion, is a lighter shimmery pink in the old formula, while it's a deeper, more matte redder blush in the new formula.
Michele has a link in the description to the old version at Nordstrom, which I used so that she gets credit. 😊
@@mumu87 at Nordstrom it says new and they are after the original.
Michele you are the encyclopedia of Chanel blushes😘. The brown blush is so beautiful I better get that one and some shades from the older formulas that I have never tried. 😭😭
Well for me Chanel is batting Zero for 3 in reformulations. I don't like any of them - loose powder, Soleil tan de Chanel and now the blush. Disappointed! These are definitely a pass for me. I don't see why companies redo formulations when nothing is wrong with the previous. It is irritating! Thank you for all the comparisons.
The 'New Michele' is fun to watch, too.
I’ll stick with my old Chanel blushes. I love your new bouquet in the background, Michele! They have all been SO beautiful!
Welp, looks like I have to remove blushes from my wishlist. Thanks Michele!
Chanel used to have a lipstick line named Infrarouge and the colour 16-Dragon was STUNNING. Then they dumped the whole line. I never understood.
Oh god I remember that Dragon tone ! I also had the nail polish, it was gorgeous...
Awww man I just started getting their blushes this past yr I only have 2 so far. This is so ridiculous when something is so good!! I don't understand fixing something thats so beloved! 😕
So appreciate u Michele for making this video! 🥰💘
Thank you Michele!! I just bought my first high end blush! I got the old formula Chanel Blush in Rose Ecrin!! Can't wait to wear it!! ❤❤
OMG! I just sent you comment about two shades being discontinued this morning. I didn't realize they also changed the formula too. Exactly...WHY????????? Getting backups stat! Thank you for the swatches. It is so helpful.
Which two?
@@BlingyBea Evening Beige & Rosewood. I heard from my Chanel salesperson. Evening Beige is so beautiful with the shimmer. The replacement has no shimmer.
@@dreicher Thank you Dawn, I have medium skintone, would those 2 work on me? I currently only have 2 (Rose Bronze, Rouge Profound) I just purchased the Foschia Rosa but I’m wanting to get a couple more before they sell out. I was thinking about Malice and In Love.
I have light/Med olive skin except summer when I am medium + olive. I own Rosewood. Rosewood is a beautiful cool toned mauve pink. No shimmer. It is similar in coolness to Pink Explosion ( a light bright fuchsia) , but deeper, dustier in color, and has more color which would definitely work on medium skin. Evening beige is gorgeous. It is a peachy light brownish shade with gold micro glitter. It will work on medium skin.
I forgot to mention I have Malice. It doesn’t have shimmer but I love this coral peachy shade when I am medium in summer. By undertone is cool so I lean towards pink or bright colors. In love has a beautiful light golden shimmer and a natural coral pink. I never purchased this one but have swatched it. I think it would work with medium skin.
I want back the old formula! 😢I know I’m late to comment but I was on the hunt for some old ones and even the colors I think on the old formulas were so much prettier.
This explains so much! I got rose initiale a month ago (I’m in Europe) and I was so disappointed with it.Takes so much time to build up and even then it’s just flat like Michele says. You can’t return make-up here so I guess I will toss it 💔 I don’t mind holding on to good make-up even if I don’t use it often, but I don’t even want this in my collection
Good morning my friend ♥️. Alezane and Jersey are my go to for blush. How disappointing of Chanel!! I really wonder who is in that room when they decide to make changes ? And do they even use the products they mess up ? Your flowers are gorgeous this month !!! I wonder if they are going to change every single one ? Love ya 💕💕
🌺
Thank you for such a good video and taking the time to give us what we need 😘
I do like the fact that they seem less pigmented, easier to apply. But I agree, I need some sheen to my blushes to be excited😬💯 thanks for the review❤️
I agree with the previous comment with beauty companies reformulating products, especially popular ones. I also agree that it is annoying when they discontinue products.
I have the "old" jersey and it's such a nice, natural-looking blush for when I'm only wearing minimal or "office" makeup and want to have just a little something on the cheeks. I love it.
WHY Chanel, indeed the right question! thanks for the review Michele!
I agree Michelle. I also do not understand why their best products are usually limited edition.
Many hugs, love your videos.
I bought 4 Chanel blushes before the reformulation, I would have picked up more had I known. Love “original” Chanel blushes. The pigmentation of these is perfect, quick and easy, blend themselves.
I could tell from the web site that the colors had changed. I got Brun Rouge and it, like several of the new colors, looks orangy on me. I'm still waiting on Alezane but after seeing your swatches, I think I need to get the original.
Sorry that this happens Michele. I don’t understand it either. Unfortunately marketing and reaching new consumers and competitors makes brands under pressure to move forward. Sometimes good and sometimes not. I think the older is definitely a more beautiful formula. Glad u found some that you did like though.
The brun rouge colour looked really flattering on you!
It really grinds my gears when brands reformulate but keep the same names and just pretend like it's the shade you always knew and loved. Surely you could come up with new names if you won't recreate the OG shade (maybe due to materials not being available anymore from suppliers? Who knows though, it's not like they're ultra expensive multichrome pigments)
Oh no. But to change such a cult product?? These were iconic, loved by the world, what kind of decision is that?..
That baked formula actually exists since the late 70-s or early 80-s (I watched a broadcast with one of Chanel experts and she said that)
My favorite Chanel blushes however are the tweed blushes. If they ever decide to mess with those, I’d have to get a life time supply.
I am old enough to remember the formula change to the baked formula in about 1979-80. THAT was a reformulation that was exciting and actually for the better!!!! It ALMOST looks like they reverted to that old old formula 😢. WHY CHANEL?!?!?! They have broken my heart (I am looking at my empty Soliel de Tan!!!)!!!
As much as I want to run and grab any old Chanel blushes, I can’t. I already have quite a few blushes from them, and I don’t want to buy just for the sake of buying. I am happy with the ones I have because they are sooooo beautiful. I have (in the old formula) Foschia Rosa, Rouge Profond, Rose Bronze, Golden Sun, Rose Petillant (my fave), Quintessance, Tweed Evanescent, and So Close.
I found a Chanel blush shade I think you might love only still available at Harrods. It is 15 Orchid Rose. And Reflex is nice too. Original formula for both. Orchid Rose, when swatched on white tissue looks like a shimmery version of the in pan new Rose Bronze. But what I love is it’s similarity to Golden Sun! Golden Sun has been a staple of mine since it first came out in the 90s or before. . It was discontinued then came back a couple of times, then recently discontinued. : (. It is slightly lighter and a hint less brown but still very neutral. On my cheek ( light-medium olive skin) it is a hint warmer than in pan which makes it appear very similar to Golden Sun. Grab it before it disappears! Also Reflex is a beautiful glowy shimmer brighter ( for Chanel) peach.
Thanks for trying a cooler shade in Rose Initial to share. :)
Hi Michele ..started laughing . Your intro is so funny.. flowers behind you are gorgeous. Thank you for demo..I might buy another old formula. Like you I like a slight sheen ..hugs msbutters🦋
Thank you so much for this! Very helpful...and thank you for sharing your honest reactions to the changes!
From the swatched so far I actually love the old formula so far
I just bought a new Jersey last month. I’ll have to try another color for the new formula. Thanks for another great vid
Thanks for “taking one for the team” by showing the new ones to all of us in your follower community. The new Rouge Brun looks pretty wonderful on you, but then just about everything does. Don’t the decision makers at Chanel understand the power of UA-cam though? The old formula of Joues Contraste was magnificent, the new one is meh in comparison. Thank goodness these last forever so I will cherish my curated collection (you’d have to pry Foschia Rose and Golden Sun out of my cold dead hands) and possibly check out Belk and Nordstrom to pick up an older Rose Bronze or Rose Pétale
Ugh... I have 8 Chanel blushes, but Rose Initial is my daily go-to blush. I’m going to order a backup of the old version while they still have it in the Nordstrom website. Why do they do this to us!
I tried getting a Chanel powder blush before but they all turned so warm on me and the shades I liked were too sparkling. Hearing that the new ones are more matte sounded promising, but the colours actually got even more orange.
I'll just keep hoarding backups of my Chanel cream stick blush (N°23), thank you :P Thanks for the cheek swatches it is the only way to tell true pigmentation!
Thanks for showing us these- I had a bad feeling about them from the beginning. And each one of the swatches on your arm looked heavily infused with orange or rust. All the coolness gone. Not a fan!
I thought they released two new blush colors and that was it. I didn’t know about a reformulation. Oh and one of the new ones is replacing one blush.
Hi Michele, thanks for the demo and comparison swatches. The new Alezane and Jersey look more golden than the prior formulation, which would not be flattering on me. The new Brun Rouge is a gorgeous shade. I wish brands would be more forthcoming when changing the formula of a beloved product.
Bummer... Jersey is one of my all time faves!
The new shades look so different form the old in color!
Michelle try "Decorte" blushes, its a luxury Japanese brand their blush is a lot like channels old formula. Their makeup and skincare products are amazing. I also have a dry sensitive skin and use probably 90% of the same makeup you do.
Maybe they have a similar shade to 280....thanks for the head's up.
The 1st new one you tried is my favorite on you. It really looked beautiful on you. Nice comparison! Ty!
Why do companies keep doing that?? I have a couple of things I do not buy anymore.. thanks girl for saving my money...too similar, less bright & dull
I almost bought a Chanel blush on your recommendation the other day I’m glad I didn’t because I wouldn’t have wanted to fall in love with something I couldn’t get in the future!
I realized how Chanel changes shades when I went searching the website for a new Vamp nail laquer last year. I still have my Vamp laquer from the mid-90s (😱). It's still good, but I was still thinking 🦠. The new Vamp is nothing like the original 😖 I didn't buy the new one.
YES!!!! I am hoarding my old Vamp! It is my favorite winter shade and a friend of mine bought the new one, she was SO upset!
I got rose urban 602 and burn rouge 604. Love both! I have fair skin and do not like to be super careful with application. 604 is also great as bronzer, so I am actually happy with my purchase. I don’t feel the new formula is horrible in comparison to the old one. It’s always about the right color , I think
Great video as always, Michele. Some things just don’t need to be reformulated, do they? Also, I’m a pink girl and so disappointed that so many of Chanel’s pinks are going away!
Keep up the great work!
Donna
So sad about this! I ended up adding three more to my collection. I almost purchased a backup to Rose Ecrin as well but figure it’ll take me at least another 2 years to get through it and I shouldn’t be a hoarder haha
It's such a shame that they had to go mess with such a good formula. I feel like Dior did the same with their new lipsticks. I preferred the old formula much better. I picked up about 5 of the new Dior shades and they were all less pigmented than the old ones. I've got one of the new shades from Chanel blush coming my way, Rose Ruban. Hopefully I like it. Thanks for the comparisons.
Thank you for your honest opinion. Now I have to decide which old formula to buy!
When Michele Wang speaks...people listen. Purchasing my back-up supply of my fave right now! Thank you for the excellent review of the new formula. I hate seeing brands reformulate when it's not necessary.
I have a VERY old Chantal blush which I love. The pigment is perfect, the texture is perfect and I feel that it must be self regenerating! It never appears to wear down in the case. The mound has the same slope...
I'm going to be buried with it rather than go with one of the new formulations.
PS I've used with many different brushes and always perfect results.
my, this lady only has some powder on her cheek, but having that fabulous skin already
I’ll reserve my final judgement but I do think the old formula ...is better - lol, you said that last bit so quickly, I don’t think you could believe they changed it 🤣 why do they change products that are already fabulous?!!! Xx
Devastated- Called The counter yesterday when I found this out, from Angela Van Rose’s Instagram Post - Got a back up Rose Initial, Alezane, and Rose Ecrin -
thank you for your honesty Michele Very nice demo. Everything is clear now. 👋🏻😳👍🏻
The new shade looks gorgeous on you. Made me order it!
Bummer that they are not spectacular anymore. I was wondering about them since I love Chanel blushes (Rose initial and alezane) and it’s all I wear. 🤦♀️ great review thank you for giving us the update and comparisons so fast. 💕
Oh no. I haven't watched through yet but saw the title and my heart stopped for you. Though I haven't ever tried a Chanel blush personally. Because I know your attachment to these blushes. My fingers are crossed.
Love the Jersey shade. I prefer a lighter pigmented blush.
Absolutely love your Chanel necklace. ❤
The box DID contain heartbreak !!! I can't believe it. The older ones were so clearly smoother 😔 what are they even doing ?! 😩
Thanks--this was helpful. I am going to get a backup of my favorite.
what's your favorite?
They all look very nice on your skin
I wonder why they couldn't make the original formula more pigmented? I like the baked formula that Chanel has and I was excited to hear that the blushes will be more pigmented so they can show up on more skintones but why change the whole formula??? You can definitely make a baked formula pigmented. I love the sheen Chanel blushes have and I feel like with the new formula, it's similar to other brands... However the terracotta shade is something I need in my life lol
