CHANEL BLUSH DUO TWEED EFFECT 'TWEET SIENNA' REVIEW

Hi everyone, today i'm going to review the chanel blush in 'tweet rose'. It's a beautiful color blush color from chanel. I got it from Nordstrom a while ago and it's retail for $45 in US. It's a prefect color for summer because it gives a nice glow and settle coral color with a small amount of shimmer and it does't emphasize pores at all.
Packaging: It come with a regular black compact with the chanel logo on top. The brush come with the blush is ok but not too great but it's very handy for traveling or on the go.



Product: I love the coral color of this blush, it's very prefect for summer and on the day time. It last me around 5 to 6 hours ( FYI, I have combination skin) without using any setting spray.

Final thought: overal, I really happy with this blush for summer. It last a long time on my skin and gives me a nice glowing finish. If I want to use it for night time, I just have to apply it more heavier and it's good to go. 
  

'Diorskin Nude' Natural Glow Sculpting Powder Review

It has been a while since I post a blog, today, I'm going to review the Diorskin Sculpting Powder in number 020 'Beige Praline'.
Packaging: This packaging like a reflecting mirror with the 'Dior' word engraved in the middle. I personally don't like this design because it's very easy to get dirty and the finger print will be easy seen on the packaging after uses. The compact comes with a small brush with pretty soft hair. It becomes very handy when we want to take it with us on the go. 



The product: It has 3 different colors: the top one is the nude highlighter, the second one is a coral blush, the third one is the power.
 For the highlighter, it gives a really nice highlight, reflected light affect. it's not overdo but not that easy to notice when you blend it. So far, I love the dim light affect this highlighter give.
For the blush, it's a nice sheen coral color without any shimmer (I hate shimmer because it's emphasized pore). However, as you can see in the swatches, after blending, the blush become super hard to notice. I'm NW25 in MAC and yet, I can barely see this color appear on my face. If you have super fair skin, this blush may work for you but the color doesn't last that long at all. It fade away very fast , after around 1-2 hours of wearing.
For the power, I really really like this powder. It gives me really natural, soft, non-cakey finish. I use it to fix my face when I notice any cakey on my face. It has light to medium coverage. it's a good product for touch-up.

Final thought: To be honest, I'm really love Dior products,however, I have to say, this is a miss for me. It doesn't worth the price ( I got it for $50 at Nordstrom). It doesn't do a good job of the purpose of the product: sculpting product. The product doesn't long last and the blush is so bad quality. The only good thing about this is a powder, but if you want a good touch up powder, just go for their own powder product, you will get more product with better price.
