So this isn't the snappiest titles blog post I've ever written but it is an honest description of my latest coup. This brush has been toying with me for a while. A luxury travel brush that exudes chic when touching up a little afternoon shine. Sounds perfect. It is Chanel however, so while that does mean gorgeous it does NOT mean budget friendly. A necessity? Absolutely not.
The Chanel Les Beiges powders have been out for just over a year now and they are fantastic. Sheer enough that you never look cakey but will instantly see to any lingering shine. Fantastic stuff. This brush first caught my attention last autumn when I bought the powder compact (I got B20) but I ummmed and arghhed too long and this limited edition beauty was all gone. Until now. A re-release for Summer 2014, it's back and this time I couldn't pass it up.
The retractable brush is great for handbags as it means there is no danger turning the inside of your handbag 50 shades of beige. I will also be swapping this out for my usual powder brush on holiday as a space saver. The brush itself is ultra soft as you would expect from Chanel, it almost feels like velvet. It is fairly densely packed so it picks up a moderate amount of product. Great for pressed powder in sheer/translucent shades but this is NOT the one to use for bronzer or you risk looking very Katie Price.
Personally, I am very pleased with this purchase and I hope that I will continue to look tres chic reaching for it in my handbag for years to come. Now if only i could so easily incorporate eau de chic into every other aspect of my life?!
