I came here for an HONEST review. Mel....you are SO missed. Thank you for your videos....I love coming here for the absolute genuineness. XOXO
I know if I get my hands on this, when I use it up, I'll fill the case with RCMA powder.
Ha ha ha ha. I love that
😂😂😂😂
I love it😅😂
Lol 😂
I like the Chanel side more. It looks so beautiful compared to the La Prairie side....not that you have a bad side or that anything could ever look bad on you! But there is definitely a difference and the Chanel side wins. And don’t feel guilty, I would buy it too just out of curiosity!💸💸💸
Hey Mel, miss you ❤
Your makeup wisdom is timeless. Thank you our beauty
The La Prairie side looks more natural and not as thick as the Chanel side. I love it. So missing your advice, Mel. Coming back to watch your videos.
You always brighten my mornings! Hope you have a beautiful week 🤗
Love the la prairie powder! It’s literally the only powder that doesn’t turn cakey on my incredibly dry skin 10 min after applying it. And I’ve tried a ton. It’s a bit like the ko gen do natural lighting powder, but that one oxidizes on my pale skin. But Mel!!! You need to buff with it!! Or at least buff it in after you apply it. It’s super pretty just applied, but buffed in it gives such a pretty natural radiance! It’s like magic!! I was desperate to find a powder that doesn’t turn me cakey and finally found it thanks to you!!
On camera I liked the Chanel side better before you said which side is what! It looks more luminous? That's very good news for your wallet too !!!!Great video ❤️ from Greece
I still think the Chanel side looks smoother than the La Prarie side. I love your videos BTW... ❤️
Mine just came today and I have to admit, yes the price is out of this world, but my face looks airbrushed! Loving it so much, thank you, Mel😘😘😘 and Michele Wang!
That price is a bit ridiculous for a powder I must say.
I’ll pay up to 125 but that’s my limit for powder
I heard someone say the Flower beauty satin finishing powder is a close dupe for the original La Mer powder. (Also, you are actually named in the reviews of it on Ulta) You should compare those sometime, if you want and have time. I'm very skeptical about how much "technology" anyone could squeeze into a powder. 😏 These crazy makeup companies and their funny marketing claims. It's a good thing you like the powder. That's some serious cash.
I wasn’t a huge fan of that powder 😞😞😞😞😞
Oh I hope she reviews that powder! It would be cool to see if it was similar.
I saw the same review (Mandy Davis) UTUBER so I purchased the powder. I like it ! The cost was about $9.00
@@carolchadwick3580 Yes! Mandy! One of the few other non-drama-ey youtubers. I'm glad it worked for you. I tend to have the same taste in powders as she does. So I think I will give it a try sometime. I like that it doesn't have talc in it.
keely _cn you’ll love 💕 it...a little powdery so use very little until you get the results you’re looking for. I use the powder as a finishing powder because it’s has a sheen to it . Enjoy 😊
On camera I like the Chanel side better. But girl you look gorgeous with both! I agree that's a lot for powder. Thanks for saving me money😁💖
Any chance you filmed this beautiful eye look?? I got the sunrise palette because it’s SO gorgeous, but I have to admit that putting together an eye look is a little intimidating. I’m absolutely loving this look on your eye right now!!!!
I love it when you review high end products. I normally don’t enjoy watching people review these products because I can’t really afford them but I love watching you try them because of your sheer passion for makeup and it makes me curious to know if they are worth the price tag, and I trust your opinion more than anybody else’s.
But also $220 for a powder?!?!! Goodness it had better clean the house and go to work for you at that price!
Hi Mel,
The left side looks softer and blended even tho, you stated you did not buff with an additional powder. If it's fragrance/parfum/aroma free, I will definitely try it because of the skincare benefits. Thank you very much for your awesome reviews as always:)
I like the La Prairie side. Lines are blurred, more polished & looks like it melted into your skin seamlessly.
Thanks for this review Mel. I couldn't tell the difference on camera but you can feel it and I trust your reviews. I won't be purchasing it because of the price but if I ever hit the lottery, I'm in. Have a great Sunday! Much ❤️
Im not a powder girl, but I must say even before u mentioned I could tell which side u had the la prairie one it’s more natural less matte!
> 200 dollar for a powder? 😅 ... holy fck, thats insane ^^
I bought the la prairie powder a week ago. I'm in love with it. Best powder ever lol
I don't own anything La Prairie and to be honest, I doubt that I ever will. My wallet just can't handle it! Thanks for reviewing Mel 👍💖
So glad you did this. Was thinking of buying the new la P. Product... obsessed
Your eyes are 🔥 🔥 😍 Great review!! Can’t wait to hear about the pressed version.
Honestly on camera I can’t see any difference.. you look beautiful with both!! 😍
I just ordered the powder in Translucent so I hope it is your favorite. It does look gorgeous I am just going to have be very careful not to over do it so it won't look cakey. I like the By Terry or Chantecaille their Talc Free Powders for under the eyes for me because I have dry skin under the eyes and regular powder are too drying but I will use the New La Prairie every where else.
I saw the difference RIGHT AWAY!
😍😍😍La Prairie 😍😍😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Girrrrrrl, your makeup always looks flawless no matter what you use.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I am considering trying the foundation, which I never thought I would say!! Need to go back and watch your review first.
For $225 I think there should be greater differences to justify that price tag. I live the Chanel powder as well has been a staple for years. Until I hear you say “its worth the price!” I’m not changing. I do want to say I do use Huda bake powder for under my eyes as well!! Love it! ❤️
I'm really happy with my Laura mercier translucent powder. Thank you la prarie but I do like the container . Can I buy a container alone ? Seems like it wont let the powder fly loose !
Ha ha, I wish! But I don’t think so 😖
I was holding off on getting the Chanel. But seeing how good it looks on you, I’ll go ahead. Thanks!
I was trying to see what the ingredients were which they did not have posted. For $220 I want to see that caviar is in fact in this little jar lol.
You look extra stunning today...that eye look!! No $200 + powder for me, I thought I had lost my mind buying the La Mer!
One of my dreams is to try that LA PRAIRIE foundation. I just can't imagine it being so different that you, put it as "the" perfect foundation. I gotta know why. :) TY!!!
Mel you are always stunning, I love high end products but La Prairie is a bit over the top. What do you think of La Mer The Powder? I recently purchased it and love it.
Have you tested La Prairie’s cushion foundation? I would love your thoughts on that one. I think it has only been out for about a year?🤷🏼♀️ Your skin looks absolutely beautiful! I see a very slight difference in the La Prairie side vs. The Chanel. But, honestly the Chanel side is just beautiful too!!!💗💗💗👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have! I like it but nowhere near as much as I like the fluid ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@melthompson2856u mean the one with cpncealer?
I *LOVE* The cellular treatment powder though. I usually have the completely translucent one for baking under my eyes and then the beige one for all over. I love it and even though it's fairly expensive the size it what made up for it in the end. I'm so sad that they're replacing it 😞
I found out there was a Chanel beauty counter in a mall close-ish to me. I wanted to flip. Now I wanna try out their powder and their tan cream after watching you love them so much.
You are right, the LaPrairie one looks more natural. I somehow manage to guess it right as to which side is the LP powder and I really like the LP side.
Thanks Mel for reviewing this powder! 💛💚🧡
I agree! It’s insane! But it does look beautiful!
Right! I hate that I love it 😫
Thanks for such comprehensive review! So helpful😊
Hello! I enjoy the La Prairie Loose Powder, but I thought that the shade range is: Translucent 0,1, or 2.
I can’t tell a difference between the two sides, but then I can’t stop looking at your gorgeous eye look!! Would love to know what colors you used!! Did you film it? Soo pretty! ....this girl is on fire 🔥😍
I didn’t, but I may in the future ❤️
Hi Mel. Thanks for the review. I was on the fence about this one because I love the Chanel loose powder also.
I like your left side best ! I feel like on the right side I can see a little creasing ! I can’t wait to see which side is which !
Great review! Question: These expensive lines (La Prarie Caviar, Chanel Sublimage, La Mer) tout skincare benefits to help justify the price. But do you ever experience an improvement in your skin as a result of the skincare benefits, or is it all just visual? Thank you!
The Chanel side looks better to me. Thank you for the comparison!
My thoughts: the LP side had a slight glow, and reminded me of how Hourglass looks. The Chanel side looks more refined, more skin like. Fun review/comparison.
I'm working at a la prairie's counter😆 I know It's ridiculously high price😱 I hate to say that it is so good and I love it😫 Thank you for loving it and the foundation🙏
Yes! I hate that I love it! It feels wrong lol. But I’ll always have that foundation no matter what ❤️
Mel, thank you for the demo 💝 I bought this last year from an overseas distributor for half the price. I loved it and it did everything you described but I would break out from it so I had to stop.
Yessss Mel, there is nothing that compares to the Chanel loose powder, at least to me!! It keeps my oils at bay better than any other powder out there! 🥰🥰🥰
Surprisingly I liked the Chanel side better! Thank God that’s my go to powder 😂🖤
Love the la prairie line, almost as much as my la mer,and Sisley... you look beautiful love the eye look
To be honest I can't even justify paying $50 for a powder in my current situation but I think you do an amazing job researching the products you review and even though you like high end products you are very open minded and honest about anything you review and that is very important to me as I am on a tight budget and value your honesty so much xx
Hi Mel, I can’t tell a difference but I like that you said the Chanel is a bit more matte. Thanks for the review Mel! I love when something just works out!!!❤️
Loved the comparison! I use powder super fast as well! I went through the La Mer powder in 2 months. At least this one has a lot more product than the La Mer.
This is very true! 👍🏼
And I love your user name btw lol ❤️
@@melthompson2856 Thanks, Mel! ❤
Oh my. Thank you for saving me the big $’s . And at first glance both sides looked the same, but in closer inspection I could see the difference and guessed correctly which side was the La Prairie. It had just a softer more ethereal look. But you are right. Not worth that dollar difference. Hugs from Az 🤗
First of all, dying over your eye look. Stunning! Second, if you don’t want that travel size, I’d love to buy it off of you! It looks really similar to my Stellar Beauty powder that I love. I’d be very curious to try it. I think both sides of your face look fantastic, btw.
Thank you so much for this review the best so far on this powder. Your left side looks more polished I can see the difference.
Beautiful as always Mel ! I won't lie that price tag is shocking , but I know I would buy if I had the money.... however both sides look amazing!
You made me buy the loose powder 🤣 but i agree with you about the texture...its amazing!! And i also agree with you about the tendency of being cakey. I bought this powder for 2 purposes...as a setting powder and as a powder foundation...the latter because of it ability of becoming a powder foundation. So definitely you have to be light handed if you plan on using this over liquid foundation.
Btw...this retails for cheaper here in europe. I bought it here in Spain and the price is almost 60usd less!
Good to know. I’m going to Spain next month so I’m going to buy it there.
Gah! I think I want to try the LP foundation and powder now! Dry skin gal 🙋♀️
Phaedra McMillian the LP foundation is really awesome. Love it and I’m a dry girl Also. But that foundation is very hydrating.
Completely agree with you about the foundation+concealer! Best ever!
Are you going to get the Melt Cosmetics Impulsive pallet? It's the first pallet that is unique enough to think it's a possibility. Dominique Glam pallet has some cool shade shifters.
Any chance i can get your thoughts on the pressed version ?! Lol I’m leaving the country this weekend and want a pressed foundation to take with me. I was looking at shiseido one, and Estée Lauder one and then I saw that one!! Lol the price is steep but if it’s like the liquid foundation that I love I’ll bite the bullet. ❣️thx Mel for you awesome reviews!! 😘
Hey Mel! Happy Sunday! ☔️☔️☔️Rainy & yucky here in NC.....but your videos always brighten my day! ☀️
Thanks for this review. You know this teacher definitely cannot afford a $220 powder! 😳😱😂 Thank goodness my skin is dry & I really don’t use powder often. 😊 Hope you have a wonderful week & hope you & your family are well
Lawd this lipstick the shine is so juicy!
Insane is an understatement. My go to for setting is Koh Gen Doh. Very finely milled, blurs, doesn’t accentuate lines even under the eyes, and is around $50. I’ll stick with that. Interesting review though. Thanks and Happy Sunday. 💚
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mel, I think the Chanel side looks a lot better (at least on camera). 😁 💜 I was thinking of buying it. I actually thought the Chanel side looks more skin like and less powdery. Sorry. Save your money next time, stick with the Chanel! 💝 💜
That price though 😳,but I still watch you because you are amazing
Great review/comparison Mel
Right! It’s steeeeeep!
HAPPY SUNDAY MEL!!!!!!
Happy Sunday!!!
Mel Thompson 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Mel, I noticed your left side of your face to be a little more flawless it was just a tad bit more finished and silky looking if that makes any sense? I would love to know if you love this powder better then all your other powders of course not for under the eyes we know you love the Huda for under the eyes but for your entire face is this better then all the rest?
This is definitely one of the best in my collection for the entire face. The only one I like more is the original la Mer ❤️
@@melthompson2856 thank you Mel for getting back to me Now I know I made the right decision in purchasing it and look forward to using it. Too bad La Mer stopped making the original powder it was the best! Who does that I know they are aware that everyone loved it so much more then the newer one unless the people at La Mer live under a rock?
Gia Hart right! I am still angry with them over that. It broke my heart!!! I’m very lucky to have a few left but man, I get anxious every time I go through one lol
@@gia6743 I was curious to your thoughts on the LP powder? I am of a "certain age" and thought I might take the plunge and purchase from the Selfridge site, where it is a little (not much, though) cheaper than the $220.
@@jewelnabq01 to be totally honest with you now that I have it I don't see a huge difference on myself from the La Prairie and my other powders in fact I am loving and reaching for The By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder for under my eyes because I also a woman of a certain age. For my entire face I have been reaching for Guerlain's Terracotta Loose Powder in 01 it works for me. I also use so many others but with a light hand. Do I think the La Prairie is worth it now that I have it actually no. I also love the talc free Chantecaille powder. La Prairie is a beautiful powder but I don't think the finished look of this powder is justification for the price but if you really want it I would get it because it is a beautiful powder it is just the price that I think is ridiculous for what you are getting.
Oh girl! I’m so glad you did this review! I was wondering what on earth this powder would look like for this price! Maybe you can take out insurance when you wear the foundation and powder together! lol. Kidding aside it looks flawless and now you have it for special occasions. You absolutely do look stunning !!!! Hope you have a magnificent day 💕
Thank you! I hope you do as well!
Mel Thompson girl I just bought the Sisley concealer last week so I can relate!!!
I love that concealer@@nonilady1577
I'm glad you said it wasn't worth it! Now I don't feel tempted to try it. I do wish they sold the travel size separately because i would buy it just for the case!
Thank you for the wonderful review and the sunshiney ☀️ start to my Sunday!
Perfect review that it help me decide worth the purchase or not.
Hi Mel thank you for this video...kept my buying impulse “tamped down” 😜. I have been using the Phyto Poudre Libre by Sisley and the Dior Forever & Ever Control loose powders. In as much as I can be a true cosmetic “snob” 😬😃😃 I find I really prefer the finish of the Dior powder. Have you tried either and what are your thoughts? (I am 61 and have normal to dry -now- skin)
Ouhhhhh my lord that eye look is amazing 😉 tutorial sooooonnn :) i agree the difference between the powders is not worth the price different. I would expect a much more wow for a powder
Your eyelook looks bad ass Mel,love it😘😍
Thank you!!
Thank you for the review. I doubt I will purchase. Here in Canada, it's $308! I checked all possible sites and the ingredient list is unavailable.There are very few legally allowable ingredient options for face powder, because powder can enter the lungs, so the high price must be based on the caviar content. I am curious as to whether it's at the beginning of the ingredient list.
The ingredients are on my community page ❤️
I can see the slight glow on the side of your face that you put the La Prairie.
That price point is ridiculous... but of course I’m intrigued and would love to try it! Lol
‘Your eye look is stunning !
I love those colors with the black eyeliner, especially! I know I sound like a broken record...
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Laura, remember how I said I wasn't going to buy the Natasha denona Sunrise palette because I didn't see myself using it very often? I find myself being very weak today! I'm resisting but my defenses are low... I need help!😄
Iris loves life stay strong girlfriend!😂😘. I ordered the Viseart Warm edit small palette - that was my compromise😅☺️😉 it looked just as pretty to me.. but of course we still love ND! I just don’t think I would use so many bright pinks that the Sunrise has in it... let me know if you end up getting it, of course!
I remember now how Michele Wang said this powder had a strong scent to it?! Am I remembering correctly? 🤔
Just saw natalie from flowerbomb say she loves the powder
Girl your skin looks ultra flawless...but it always does! I can see a little bit of difference for sure though ♡ girl you know I watch every video you put out so I know when your skin looks different hahha lol
I could not take my eyes off your eyes! They looked like a sunrise
Thank you!!!
Hi mel!!! What powder do you recommend for extremely dry undereye?
I like the Becca under eye brightening powder.... use very little
The hourglass powder is great too! I also use very little on a brush to set my under eyes!
Thank you so much ladies I will buy both
Thanks for taking one for the team, because at that price, I don't think I can bring myself to buy this... I think $50 is the max I would spend for powder. :)
I picked the channel one and it looks great xx
Love the eye look! Please do a tutorial.
I too love this powder. As far as cost goes, it worth it. If you add the cost of all the loose powders I purchased this year, I could of purchased 3 of these.
I will purchase this again. It will take me some time to use this.
Chanel was too drying on my face. This does seal in moisture.
RAE did a beautiful review on this new line.
It’s definitely one of the most hydrating yet perfecting powders I have ever put on my face
Yeah, actually when makeup starts creeping towards the $50 mark is when I start pumping the brakes. I have no doubt that this product is outstanding, and/or other high end products, but I see makeup as a consumable item, and I just can't bring myself to justify the pricetag. But, to each their own. In fact, most of what I use is drugstore. I don't want to buy something I can't afford to KEEP buying, and find out I can't live without it, lol! Thank you for the review Mel, awesome as always!
You look so beautiful. Both sides look great. I cannot tell the difference but if I could I still wouldn't spend $220. Love your videos.
Ummmm, forget the overpriced powder, can we talk about the stunning eye makeup?! Holy moly, so beautiful!
Thank you!!
$220 for a powder is just too much when Chanel is at the "bargain" price of $50. Why did you have to wear the ND sunrise today? I didn't want to buy it but damn it's so pretty. I love those yellows in the palette. Great video and gorgeous makeup. Much love from Kentucky.
Lol!! Xoxoxox!!!
I’m sorry about the sunrise!! But I hear Sephora has been sending out coupons! I haven’t gotten one tho 😫
When i look at the undereye and the highlighter i think the left side looks smoother. This was my thoughts before i knew which one was the La Priarie.
Love your review and comparison!!!! Makes sense!!! Love the eye look!!!i see a tiny bit of difference. Either way , you look insanely marvelous!!! 💪🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤟🏻💯❤️#kindnessisbeauty
R U wearing the neon pallet from huda?
Hey Gorgeous! Can you explain the difference between setting powder and finishing powder? I'm so confused! Love your content!
I think the difference is the same as settings/finishing spray - the finishing is to make it look less makeup-y/powdery as with Mac fix+ and setting powder/spray is to make your makeup stay on longer😊
but which are finishing? Loose? Pressed? Brands? How to apply? Buff? Bake?
@@Connie_s1980 the buff/bake thing I have no Idea😅
But you can find setting sprays and powders, as well as finishing powder and spray. I do believe spray versions have become the most known version.
It should say on the box what type of powder/spray it is. Max fix+ i believe is a finishing one and I believe UD has a setting powder as well as setting sprays.
I don't use any of it so I wouldn't have any recommendations sadly😅 but I'm sure you can search it on YT and find some😊
And yes...if you consider the amount of product you get for the price...it is quite reasonable (la mer pressed is also my favorite but considering the price, the amount of product...and the texture!!!...🤪)
Both sides look beautiful! I'm passing on the $220 powder, out of my budget lol. Love your eye look 😍 xoxoxoxo 😘
Ok sold on both...I want to try them ASAP.
