La Mer Review – Lip Balm, The Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA+++ UV Protecting Fluid, The Reparative Skin Tint, The Hand Treatment, The Soleil de La Mer The Glowing Body Oil and The Body Crème

Hello dearies!

This is my final post of La Mersssssssss!!!

These remaining products are worthy of mentioning because I love these so much and I’ve repurchase them over and over again from the beginning of my journey with La Mer.

Let’s begin with the Sun products that I love:

(Left) is the Reparative Skintint SPF 30 (SGD180 for 40ml) in the color 01- very fair. It comes in 4 or 5 shades. I use this on days where I want sun protection yet natural coverage. Sometimes I’ll top it off with loose powder and then run out the door.

This is how it looks:

Beautiful glowy finish. 😍 What I love most about the Skintint is that after washing it off, my skin feels extremely soft & smooth. I’ve never had a “foundation” or tinted moisturizer that makes my skin feel this nice after removal. I’ve heard rumors that this might be discontinued! So please run to the counters to get your shade match and grab one as soon as you can. La Mer, please don’t discontinue this one, I’ll be very sad! 😪

Next on the right is the The Broad Spectrum SPF 50 UV Protecting Fluid PA+++ (SGD190 for 50ml). This is the best sunblock I’ve ever used! It’s in liquid form but yet not super runny and not thick like some that you have to blend out. There’s a slight greenish color in the formula and somehow that helps to reduce the appearance of redness on my skin and made it look even. It’s not oily and has not given me any breakouts (using it for over 10+ years now). It’s so easy to spread and does not leave a white cast. Highly recommend giving this a try if you are looking for a sunblock that performs!

My next favorite is the Lip Balm (SGD120 for 9g).

I’m a Lip Balm junkie and this topped the list for sure. It’s so soft and melts into your lips immediately upon application. Just so good! Its not tacky at all and your lips stays comfortable. It has a minty scent and your lips can feel the slight mint upon application which goes away in abit. I love love love this! Nothing in the market can beat it 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 The usual one is this:

And they had a limited edition one with a light reddish tint:

I grabbed 3 pots of these just to keep as spares. 😬😬😬

Next favorites are the Hand Treatment (SGD185 for 100ml) and the Body Crème (SGD530 for 300ml. Their prices kept increasing 😑:

These are phenomenal!

I stock up on the hand treatment as I put one in my handbag when I’m out and leave one near my bed. It keeps my hands soft, hydrated and smooth. I’ve tried many other hand creams too but this is the winner 🏆🏆🏆

As for the body crème, I’ve seen others commented that they want to put this on their face and that’s how good it is. I don’t use this everyday because one application keeps my skin moisturized for a couple of days in humid conditions. This is a life savior when I travel to dry climates. You have to try it! 😜

Last on my list is the Glowing Body Oil (SGD155 for 95ml):

This is housed in a glass bottle and the shimmers are just so pretty! 😍 I think this is also a limited edition piece so grab it if you find one! Although this is a body oil, it does not feel oily or tacky at all. It absorbs well and leaves behind the shimmery sheen. If shimmers are your thing then you gotta have it! I’m saving it only for special occasions 😊

I hope you like my sharing on all my La Mer products. Next, I plan to share my thoughts on cosmetics and skincare from La Prairie and Chanel which I will write-up as soon as I can!

Stay tune!

Cheers

Chantecaille Cosmetics Swatches and Reviews (Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer; La Sirena Bronzer Highlighter Duo; Luminescent Eye Shades; Philanthropy Cheek Shade, Les Perles Metallic Eye Liner)

Hello dearies!!!

I’m sharing my latest tiny stash from Chantecaille!

I bought 6 items & they are:

1. Philanthropy Cheek Color – Butterfly (Bliss) SGD 68

2. Luminescent Eye Shade in the color Sole SGD 80

3. Luminescent Eye Shade in the color Mare SGD 80

4. La Sirena Bronzer – Highlighter Duo SGD 131

5. Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer in the shade Alabaster (Fair with balanced undertones) SGD 126

6. Les Perles Metallic Eye Liner in the color Bleu ( they have one more color in Vert) SGD 71

The two eye shadows, bronzer with highlighter duo & the eyeliner are suppose to be Limited Editions so I’m not too sure if these items will be made permanent or not as they were sold out like hot cakes once they hit the counter at Takashimaya Singapore. (Chantecaille is only available at Takashimaya Singapore).

The butterfly blusher should also be limited edition as it is part of the Philanthropy collection that has other themes and they are Turtle, Horse, Bee, Elephant & a Coral. Some of the proceeds goes to support the various organizations & I think this is just perfect! For more information, please go to their official site: https://chantecaille.com/collections/philanthropy-cheek-shades These Cheek shades comes with a shimmery overspray & it will be gone from your first dip into the pan & that’s what happened to mine as you can see it’s without the overspray in the picture above. 😖 I can tell you that all 6 of the blushers are darn pretty! 😍 I have one too many blushers so I had to stop myself from getting all 6! (When I bought mine, the Bee & the Coral was oos so I did not like the fact that I was not going to be able to purchase the full collection anyway) 😬

Let me show you some swatches before I go on:

(Top to Bottom – Just Skin Moisturizer in Alabaster; Eye Shadow Sole – a beautiful coppery brown; Eye Shadow Mare- a lovely greenish moss; Bronzer; Highlighter; Butterfly (Bliss) Blush – Soft pink)

The Eyeliner in Bleu. As I’ve mentioned earlier, the other shade is Vert which is a green. I don’t really like this because it felt too watery & not easy to use if you are not a makeup guru (in my opinion). The glitters will not show up much if it’s just a thin outline. Probably more suited for a night party look with thicker lined eyes.

The eyeshadows & bronzer highlighter duo I’m telling you to grab these if you can lay your hands on still! These are amazingly gorgeous! 😍 The texture is so so so smooth, creamy and easy to blend! It’s so pigmented! Love Love Love!

As for the butterfly blusher, it’s a pretty pink but not something uncommon. I would still buy it as I love butterflies! And also you will feel good for contributing to whichever organization (depends on which animal or Coral you choose) as part of our duty as humans. Do your part! Go get one!

The Just Skin Tined Moisturizer is another amazing product. I’m in love with the formula. It is very lightweight when on the skin & I don’t feel like I’m wearing any makeup. It’s like a light foundation with a SPF of 15. Good on days when you feel lazy as this looks so natural and it blends in a swift (and I’m only using finger not bb or brush) 🤓 Saves you some time! I don’t set it with powder as I like the natural glow it gives. My skin looks as though it has drank enough water & it feels velvety.

It covers my redness & uneven skin tone pretty easily. I like the packaging that it’s in a tube form, so easy to pack it into your handbag for a quick touch up on the go. I would say – go try it! 7 shades available! Fyi – mine in Alabaster is the lightest shade.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this!

Stay tune for more
