Chanel Sublimage La Creme Texture Fine - Review

About a year or two ago I discovered Chanel's SUBLIMAGE ultimate anti-aging skincare range and my skin has never been the same. When I was younger (I am closer to 30 than I am to 20 so yes I am allowed to say that) I always thought that because I had good skin I didn't need to look after it but the truth is the earlier you start the better your skin will look when your older (AND I REFUSE TO GET OLD). Allot of people think a easy fix for skin problems is to just cover it up with makeup but think about it if you don't have a good foundation no matter how much product your going to throw on it your problem will still be there.

About the Sublimage Range
The active ingredient in the Sublimage range is Enriched Planifolia PFA, which is the fusion of the fruit and flower of the Madagascar Vanilla plant which has the power to regenerate. This powerful ingredient in the Sublimage range targets all of the skin's vital factors to reveal its natural beauty. The combination of the Vanilla Planifolia helps intensively and deeply revitalize and fight all signs of aging and targets radiance and luminosity, eye contour wrinkles, evenness of complexion, adds moisture as well as target even tone and firmness.

My major concern when I hit my 20's was that I started getting break outs, dark spots, pigmentation scaring left behind as a result of those break outs and uneven skin tone. I know my main cause is that I have combination oily skin but I also know its because I press my breakouts, Yes I know I shouldn't but I just cant help myself so moving on. I've tried so many brands to help target the uneven skin tone and pigmentation but none seemed to help until I decided to finally give all the Sublimage samples I had that was stacking up a try. With in the first week of using it I notice a very visible improvement, my pigmentation was fading and my skin started becoming one even tone. Although they say it doesn't help with breakouts I have notice that I now have less breakouts and my overall appearance of my skin is just clearer. My skin has a radiant glow to it that just makes it look younger. I honestly cant say much about it helping firm and improve wrinkles because I just don't have problems with it yet but I could believe that it is helping keep that at bay. The Le Creme is quite a rich moisturizer and is quite thick so I have found using it as a night cream works much better for me because it does leave my skin feeling a bit oily so it just doesn't work under my makeup.  However at the end of the day once I have removed all my makeup and cleansed my skin it is quite luxurious to lather all the luxurious creamy moisturizer all over and give my skin some much needed love.

The Sublimage range has been dubbed the Royals Royce of skin care and I can really understand why, it is amazing in every way even the sweet vanilla scent it has has won me over. The Le Creme Texture Fine is very much on the pricey side retailing for R4500,00 for a 50ml tub and I get that the range is quite expensive and it might not be for everyone. I would really love to add the Le Fluid to my skin care range next, a girl can dream though right? Also I believe the La Lotion will be coming out soon in South Africa and I cannot wait to try that out!

Chanel Mirror Duo

The first product I ever bought from Chanel was a double sided compact mirror which was about 5 or 6 years back now. I remember the first time I saw one in the City Center and a foreign lady took it out her bag in the middle of the crowd and I stopped dead in my tracks she had so much attitude haha and I was like THAT IS WHAT I NEED IN MY LIFE and I hunted it down! And its really sad to say that my first one is really scratched up and the black isn't as gorgeous and glossy as it was when I first got it. Even the dust pouch looks almost grey now, so needless to say I was in dire need of replacing it. Luckily Chanel had one left and I was able to snatch it up!

Honestly there isn't much reviewing that can be done here its a mirror after all but Ill tell you what I love and hate about it. Yes even thought I've replaced it there is still stuff I hate about it!

It comes in a black glossy compact pretty much the same as the blush with the CC logo in the center and the black dust pouch. There are two mirrors, one side has a magnifying effect for precise makeup application while the other is a normal mirror pretty much for retouching. Its basically classic Chanel. I don't really carry my blush around with me allot so I have never really noticed it but the little velvet pouch is like a magnet for dust and fluff so it doesn't stay so pretty but I do understand that its meant to protect the compact. I cant help but think it would be so much nicer in a leather pouch though. And lets not get to the amount of finger prints you handle it way more than you would the blush so keeping it clean and glossy is a night mare. That being said its still the most gorgeous compact I own. 

I picked this one up for R485.00 at the Chanel counter
