Beauty Product of The Month: Chanel Vitalumière Aqua
The French sales lady who sold this to me successfully convinced me that it would be the perfect foundation for my summer holiday. Why, you ask? Because it's a light-weight one. I guess that's irrelevant because people with an accent can convince me to jump off a roof even if they hardly tried.
And I also bought it because when I asked her why she chose to move to New Zealand she laughed and said,
"Because of a man."
I responded, "I hope he's worth it!"
"Oh yes he is," she replied and a big, sincere smile was carved on her face.
I can be an old-fashioned romantic.
Vitalumière Aqua in Beige
The verdict?
The best light-weight foundation I've ever tried.
Ever wondered what I look like without make up? Voila! This is a first on Colours of My Life by the way
Dark eye circles, uneven skin tone, lack-lustre looking skin... sigh.
So happy with the outcome, I had to smile!
I guess a natural glow can be bought in a bottle after all
Still smiling
What do I love about it?
Coverage... light weight to medium, natural looking finish
Water-based... so my skin can breathe
Looks... like I'm glowing, yay!
Feels... velvety and smooth
Smells... wonderful, floral and powdery
Protection... SPF 15, love your skin ladies
Perfect... for daytime wear especially in warm tropical climates
I imagine... myself by the beach whenever I think of this foundation
Best of all...
It looks and feels utterly effortless.
Just how I like it.
On most days this is how I like to look. Minus the black eyeliner.
I wear more make up for special occasions or simply when I feel like it.
Otherwise I use foundation, eyeliner, a hint of mascara, lip balm and I'm good to go!

p/s: how odd is this, i just bought the same shawl as you're wearing in these pictures LAST NIGHT, but in golden brown color! :)
Thanks for posting.
Ami: Awww thank you, I've been drinking heaps of water lol. Oh I have a range of foundations... from Avon, Maybelline, ZA, Revlon, MAC to Chanel. It's always good to try different types. I'm not fussy about brands. As long as the thing does its job I'm happy!
Btw, I have the same shawl in olive green, maybe that's the one you have too? I really love it. It's quite shiny.
Esra: Shukran =) Yup I'm a huge fan now. I just had to blog about it and spread the word lol.
ur skin is flawless...nampak suci..barangkali NUR perubahan u semakin memancar.i shud give this Chanel foundation a try too.
Giorgia Armani has AMAZING light weight make up btw. Like really.
I LOVE your banner color splatter thing! It fits your blog name so perfectly!
ilyannur: I see a very plain girl in the mirror when I don't wear make up lol. Thank you hun.
L&S: Wa-hy thank you lol
supermummy: Aww thank you for making my day you super commenter =)
RS: Me too! That's why I'm really happy with this one. I've never tried GA's light weight make up... their foundations are usually quite heavy right? Might give it a try after I finish this.
Feda: Thank you... but gosh, I don't know what you girls are seeing. I think my skin looks pretty blah without make up... but alhamdulillah, I don't have any serious skin problems. Though it is quite sensitive.
Winter can be harsh on the skin. Drink plenty of water and use rose hip oil on your face. It helps me during winter in NZ.
How do you do it if you're out the whole day and you have to salah? And sha do you have a good eyeliner that doesn't smudges but also not waterproof for salah?
wud love to try this out. mine's finishing soon!

I've recently started to dabble in make-up. I'm a total tomboy and am clueless when it comes to the stuff. I'm working on it though.
im quite tempted to try a new foundation [i use mineral] your post is really very convincing..hmm ;)
soso: Thanks!
Bitten: It might be cheaper where you are perhaps? =) I hope it is.
Amnah: Shukran for your kind words. You're a tomboy when it comes to this? Nahh I don't believe you! ;)
yana malek: Thanks for commenting. But the truth is I get spots and blemishes like everyone else... esp when I'm not eating right so I am very careful with what I eat these days. And I make sure I drink LOTS of water and get enough sleep.
Ashi: Thank you hun! My skin has its moments though... and when I get spots that's when I get all insecured lol. You should defo give this a try... it's lovely. Smells pretty too!
Hijabs and Co: I think I look plain and normal but thank you! =)
