How it all started: Chanel Perfection Lumiere #154 Ambre

Hi, my name is Rhona and I am a makeup-aholic. I love most cosmetics and go crazy for it. Going makeup shopping is so fun and relaxing. I can literally spend hours at the Bay going from counter to counter sampling and buying. It is so bad that any store I venture in, I always make a beeline straight to the cosmetics department (as long as they have one that is). My obsession is pretty recent however. Merely a year ago, I had no interest in makeup and never ever thought about it.

If you had asked me what my passion was two years ago, I would have easily said reading and travel. I was never into makeup. Actually I hated it with a passion. You see, when I first ventured into the wonderful world of beauty, it was not fun at all. Foundations that I tried felt very heavy and clogged my pores. Due to skin tone, my few choices for foundations at the time were Fashion Fare and M.A.C.. I only wore foundation when I had to but dreaded every second of the experience. Making up my face was just not a fun experience.

It was not until I was casually watching one of my favorite Youtubers, The Luxe Babe, did my spark ignite. You see, the LB was talking about a new foundation she just bought from Chanel. Earlier that year, I had bought my first Chanel nail polish and I treasured that bottle. The color is gorgeous and it applies like a dream. But, what surprised me was that this brand had foundation for darker skin toned people. I almost didn't believe it.

When I went to my Chanel counter I was still not sure so I casually told the lady, Angela, at the counter that Chanel.... "does not have any foundation for my skin tone." Angela was quick to pull out Chanel's Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless fluid makeup in 154 Ambre. I have to admit that I was so excited about this discovery that I almost cried (seems extreme but try having basically no options and you will understand). After she applied the foundation to my skin, I immediately fell in love. Smooth, flawless and lightweight. Perfection.

That was all I needed it seemed to ignite my makeup desires. I have been non-stop since. My top picks are Chanel, Maybeline, Nars, Revlon, Clinique and the brands are growing almost daily. Makeup has now become an important part of my life. I don't wear it every day but I love to look at my pretty things and play around often. Come join me on this makeup adventure.
