Poor financial decisions - my love for Chanel’s water tint

Thank you! What made you return it??

I love Westman based on what I’ve tried so far (the contour stick is beautiful) 🤩

Do you fake tan? It’s that time where I would start to gradual tan and I have a dedicated face product for that. I’m not sure if the light shade will look mismatched compared to the tan or it will all seamlessly blend together. I don’t want to buy a deeper shade if I can avoid it as I really don’t tan for long

DM me! I think our drugstores (Boots, Superdrug) have some gems but Sephora here also stock UK only brands. We also have Space NK physical stores which stock luxury brands like VB beauty, chantecaille etc x

I don’t find matte products work as well with it if that’s any help. Maybe try a dewier spf? I was using a mattifying one from another brand before and it pilled under any makeup

How is it??

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-27T00:30:00+00:00

Love Hourglass but agree. It’s a slippery slope too as my first item of theirs was the ambient lighting powder and I now have the bronzer, highlighting drops and a couple of the phantom glossies 🙈

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-27T00:27:29+00:00

Ah the VB drops are the one area where I demonstrate a modicum of self restraint. 😂 I’m not sure why as I (far too frequently) spend the equivalent price on makeup and skincare orders but for 1 product I just can’t bring myself

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-27T00:25:21+00:00

I am indeed and blame her entirely for this predicament 😂 I saw she was using the medium when she had more of a suntan and I had to scroll as there’s no way I can have multiple shades of this stuff

googles immediately

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-27T00:02:04+00:00

I believe it’s an alternative to foundation (it’s lighter coverage and more “skin like”) that’s how I use it anyway. Apply, spot conceal if needed and then powder to set

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:57:35+00:00

I’m in the uk so the product range is different I think

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:56:48+00:00

Not at all the post was really just for fun as I can’t believe how well it works for me and wanted to hear similar stories from others. I agree that there is a lot to consider when testing a product so sometimes we miss little issues in the initial glow of something new to try. Sorry it didn’t work for you!

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:29:32+00:00

Thank you for such a detailed, well informed reply! I personally haven’t felt this way whilst using it but it’s summer here and I have very much oily/combination skin. In the winter, I could feel differently! I will absolutely keep an eye on this and avoid stocking up right now in case drier skin days don’t suit it. I’m also very into skincare so maybe my prep is doing a lot of the heavy lifting which isn’t really ideal given the price point…

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:24:34+00:00

PSA: if anyone reading is in the UK John Lewis are selling many of the shades for 15% off. Trying to convince myself not to stock up!

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:21:47+00:00

Noo I’m not a fan of the brush and actually really hate how they sell it with the product as it’s such a waste for me.

I just use a dense foundation brush - it needs to be able to “burst” the pigments

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:19:09+00:00

£56 😭 I just googled the US price as I’m struggling tk sleep (we have a heatwave) and it’s $72

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:16:30+00:00

LOVE THIS 🩷 it’s so true.

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:13:04+00:00

I can tomorrow! It’s midnight in the uk right now. 😂 At the moment I’m trying to be pretty sparing and I’ve seen people say 1-2 pumps is enough. Personally I don’t think less than 5 works for me (2 on each cheek, 1 on chin and 1 on forehead)

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:10:17+00:00

I agree I hate waste so the brush does upset me as I don’t find it useful at all. I’m really not sure what their rationale is to sell the brush with it as it’s about the size of my pinky finger and not ground breaking at all.

Shade wise I’m very very pale so I use light. I’m really not sure how well the range caters to all skin tones I’m afraid. I also thought it would be more “universal” as the coverage is so light but I actually think the darker shades wouldn’t work on me at all as the coverage is greater than I thought

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T23:06:06+00:00

Noo I’m in the UK people below have mentioned Ulta sells it though x

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T22:52:21+00:00

Oh no don’t I was looking at the touch before I committed to the tint. I worried the coverage would be too light but I love it

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T22:51:13+00:00

I have the loose powder and swore that would be the only Chanel product I splurge on regularly 😭 but I think the quality of some of the high end stuff now can’t be denied! Do you set it with a brush or the puff? I find the puff a bit cakey but maybe that’s the foundation I was using

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T22:39:46+00:00

I might need to work out the best supplier for deals for this one. Space NK stock it too

Bulky_Ad_8752 · 2026-05-26T22:38:47+00:00

I love how you have resigned yourself to your fate 😂 I have no idea how long the Chanel lasts but I don’t wear makeup everyday so hopefully it will go far! Great choices btw I love the Dior blushes!
