Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturiser (50g) costs a whooping £57 is definitely one of the most expensive 'tinted moisturiser' on the market out there.
Does it worth breaking the bank to get this?
I wanted this for ages but bearing it in mind it has a price tag of £57 (second time I mentioned about the price now in less than 50 words), I waited and waited but every time when I went into Space NK, I squeezed some into my hands and fell in love with it. I researched and watched loads of reviews on Youtube et al and heard only positive comments.
Finally I caved in, few months ago.
I had it colour-matched and I'm a 'nude' according to Chantecaille. Ever since I got it I didn't find myself using it everyday, rather disappointingly. I found myself wanting another alternative tinted moisturiser/ bb cream rather than sticking with my Chantecaille purchase. On an average month, I probably would use this just the ONE time.
The texture is in between of a cream/ watery base, for the most part it is very hydrating however on a recent wear, I still found it a bit drying round my nose areas which is strange considered how moisturising it is for my other parts in the face. However the very sheer finish is a little too sheer for me.
It does live up to the standard of 'Just Skin' finish - it disappears in my skin after blending it all over the face. This to me really is the ultimate 'tinted moisturiser' - a moisturiser with colour. It doesn't provide any coverage at all I don't think, I can even say it made my skin looked a bit tanned, but this might down to the colour match rather than the product itself. But every time when I wear it I would ask my sister how it looks on my skin, she would praise rather than frown. So, I guess it's fine and I worry too much.
But, there's just something lacking. I can't quite put my fingers on it where, what and how. You definitely don't need to use any tools to apply this on your face - beauty blender or brushes to apply this. Simply your finger-tips is your best companion to this tinted moisturiser because this really is merely a very expensive coloured moisturiser, you wouldn't even think of using a brush to apply your day/ evening moisturiser, would you?
I'm disappointed with this, it doesn't worth my money, it's simply way TOO expensive. I want to say I LOVED IT and want to tell the world about it, but I can't and don't want to lie to myself. Instead of giving it away to someone who may benefit from this, I think because of how much it worths, I would use it up nevertheless and pray that one day it suddenly makes me feeling super excited and be smitten by it.
I have since tried another Chantecaille product - a Coral Reefs Palette which consists of a perfect powder highlighter (so perfect that I am now looking to re-purchase that particular shade), and two other eyeshadow shades and a blush colour.
