Review: Chanel CC (Complete Correction) Cream SPF 30/PA+++

Hola, niñas.

Who didn't know about Chanel's brand? Everyone around the world knows that Chanel have a very good brand reputation. It's because of all their product. If you just know that Chanel only by their fashion bag, wallet, shirt, watch, etc. And now let me introduce their make up product. When I knew Chanel was releasing their own CC cream, I had to give it a try. It's a luxury product and you're going to pay for it. 750K for 30ML to be exact. FYI, I was using this CC Cream for the very first timeee just for this review. For me, it's better to use it rarely cause yeah you know the price make my moneybox empty immediately LOL.

As you know, in my last post, I reviewed my Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream, the first BB Cream of western that I've had. But know, I'm going to review Chanel CC Cream. So, Chanel CC Cream is my first western CC Cream because it is made in France. Anyway, when it first launched, this CC only came in one shade, Beige 20, which is what I’m testing here. They’ve since come out with Beige Rosé 12, which they describe as having a slightly pinkish undertone. Beige 20 is more yellow, so it’s a good match for my neutral-to-pink skin. I can usually go either way on a foundation, as long as it’s not too far on either the pink or the yellow scale.

The texture is thick, creamy, powdery, and quickly dry. You have to work fast with this product, or you'll get ugly patches on your skin. When I opened and applied it on my hand I was a bit freaked out because I thought it's too yellow for me, I was afraid it might look ashy. But no, it blended nicely on my skin after a while and did not cause any break out or look ashy. Just nice. If you like products that are easy to apply, lightweight, sheer and non greasy, you have to sample this out. It has a creamy consistency out of the tube, but as you apply (I use clean fingers to work it in) it just melts into your skin, smooths over it masking pores and/or uneven texture. Once it's worked in and sets, it leaves you with a velvety finish. Almost feels like a cream to powder product which is quite unique. It looks very natural. Like your skin but better.

The product comes in a sleek white tube that has a black cap on it. On the black cap there's a Chanel logo. It's a squeeze tube, you have to squeeze the tube in order to dispense the product, but don't worry, the opening of the tube is quite small so you can control how much product you want to dispense.

It's only available on it's official web and on Chanel's Asia stores such as Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. And lucky me found this product from online shop.

When it blended out, as you can see, it blends perfectly. So let me try on my face :)

The CC Cream offers pretty decent coverage – I’ll consider this a light-medium – it does correct out my blemishes and give me an overall more even skin tone.

As you can see, 20 Beige is perfect for me. I used my fingers, which warms the product nicely. It goes quickly, and once you get the hang of it, the process is actually pretty pleasant because it gives you so much control.

When I put any make up beside CC Cream, like eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush on, and lipcream. GAAAH I DO LOVE THIS CC CREAM. It gives you natural-semi matte finish.

Pros:

- nice, practical and sleek packaging. Travel friendly.

- the coverage is medium but build-able. It covered my pores and my redness amazingly in 1 layer.

- Multitasking, can be used as a makeup base or worn alone (without powder). When worn alone, it gives me a flawless, fresh look

- it has SPF 30, it will protect your skin

- the oil control and the staying power are supa great. I used it for more than 8 hours last week, i only needed to blot my face once on the T-Zone and cheeks

- really fit to oily skin people who wants natural matte finish

- it doesn't break me out  

- chanel’s CC Cream is light and warm

- it also has a nice soft flower scent

Cons:

- too pricey T_T (but hey, it's Chanel anyway! :p)

- hard to get in Indonesia. In fact, it's not even available here but you can follow and but it @titatu_lashes's Instagram

- only has two shades

It is pricey, but the great thing about higher end products. I would rate this product 4.8 out of 5. Yes, it's just 0.2 points away from perfection. Me? I keep falling in love of this Chanel's CC Cream and that it doesn’t break me out or clog my pores. I like how light and hydrating it is too. Otherwise, it’s a seriously wonderful product that perfects your skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Basically, your face will look amazing. Lemme know what you think? Would you give it a try? ;)
