Disclaimer: I purchased this.
Described by Chanel as an "innovative powder-cream formula
with sheer yet vibrant pigments for instant luminosity", the glowing reviews I saw online pretty much guaranteed I was going to have to try one of these babies out. Of the two shades released in Chanel's spring 2014 collection, I chose the limited edition Intonation. It looked slightly less intense than the reddish pink Chamade, and I'm sure the whole "limited edition" thing did it's number on my head:-)Fortunately, the coral color is quite lovely and somewhat unique to my collection. It's bright without looking garish, although a light touch is definitely in order. I learned that the hard way when I applied too much and had to buff, buff, buff the color out so that I did not look like Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
I use my finger to apply a small amount to the cheek and then use a brush to blend it out. The cream to powder formula blends very nicely into the skin and the wear time is really, really good. I was surprised at the end of the day to still see intact color, as my oily skin usually breaks most makeup down after 8 hours or so.
As much as I like Intonation, I don't feel the need to collect more as I've got a number of other really nice cream blushes that are more reasonably priced. My favorites are still the ones from The All Natural Face, with their $5.75 price, all natural formula, and how they look on the skin.
yeah, gorgeous color, but the price isn't ideal ya know? Though, I'm still trying to get into more cream blushers... so maybe it wouldn't hurt to give this a go, right :) ?
