Chanel Powder Universal Libre








As much as I really don't like Chanel's eye shadows because of the poor quality, I do adore many of their makeup products.
Chanel pro lumiere and vita lumiere foundation and Chanel bronze Universal are some of my favorite makeup products.
Now, I have a new addition to my favorites: Chanel Universal Libre loose powder.

I first heard of this powder from Pixiwoo (Oh! Have I said that sentence before!??). And Yes, it was in a You Tube video ;) Click here to see it!
This is a loose, sheer, setting powder for your foundation.

I love this powder for three four reasons:
1. The powder is so finely milled that you can pile on the powder and you will still not get that powdery look on your face. It's like it melts into your skin instead of laying on top looking very unnatural.

2. The powder has some barely-there light reflecting particles that will contribute to make your face look flawless. It just gives just a very natural and youthful glow. (And I'm all into anything that will make me look youthful!). Perfect for photography!

3. The powder comes in 4 different colors. I first ordered the color "Peche # 50" because that's the one Samantha (Pixiwoo sister) was talking so highly of, but then I realized that was the lightest color of them all. This powder is more translucent than anything else, but it does deposit a slight color, so I sent it back and got the darkest one instead; "Dore # 40".

Oh, and I thought of a 4th reason why I love this:
4. The powder comes in a huge jar! You will have this forever and ever, so although it is quite expensive - it will last you a long time!

TIP:
Like the Chanel Bronze Universal, this jar is so big that you probably wouldn't just throw it into your makeup bag going to school, work or whatever. Put some of the powder into a small sifting jar (they sell these cheap on Ebay) or a used, empty jar you have (ID Bare escentuals foundation for example). You are good to go!


If you are looking for a great loose powder, I totally recommend this!
