The compact comes with a sponge, a nice brush and a
nice peachy scent. However I usually do not use the included sponge and brush
to apply for my makeup.
The whole powder compact weighs at 13 gram, which is
a lot for a powder compact. Normally powder compact comes with approximately 10
grams.
Despite the eye catching packaging and the
accessories comes with, I am not fan of this powder compact.
The compact, like all Chanel’s powder products, has
very finely milled powders in it. The texture is close to Diorskin flawless
compact, but not as creamy as Diorskin though.
I like the fact that it’s very hydrating. It does
not accentuate any dry areas on my skin. But that is the only benefit to me.
The coverage is sheer, much worse than mat lumiere powder compact.
The lightest shade they offer here in Canada, B20,
is too orange and dark for me. I know there are lighter shades such as BO10 and
B10 available in some other countries. I hope they can bring more shades here
in the future.
In a nutshell, it’s a high quality powder compact
which does not suit me. Nevertheless if you are looking for a low coverage
powder with decent hydration, and if you love Chanel, it’s your best choice.
