Hi Cat. I almost pulled the trigger so many times on the Chanel product. I have the L’Oreal tinted balm and like it a lot. I think I’ll use it tomorrow!!

Hello @Beauty By Dez 🥰 oh my goodness, yes! The Chanel foundation is heavily fragrant and it's quite potent! Someone else told me they couldn't get the L'Oreal Tinted Balm in Australia?! How strange!

I'm trying out the NYX Born to Glow, but I'm not a fan of how runny it is out of a tube so it's an accident waiting to happen.

Great review. I've been wondering about the Chanel No. 1. I've been so tempted to try it for my 63 y.o. dry skin. I still have pretty good texture, but I am starting to notice it's changing a bit. Salt NY has spoiled me. It's such a beautiful product and incredibly priced. I use mostly cream complexion products now with just a little bit of powder to set. I will skip the Chanel and just keep using my Salt NY. Thank you!
Omg, thank you so much @Laura Ann ❤️ it's really a luxurious foundation, but, I really think there are better, more affordable foundations! And yes, I was very curious about this specific foundation and I'm so glad I reviewed it! My complexion is constantly changing at 55 and I try to stay on top of it! Menopause is not fun!

Hi Cat! I was a huge fan of the Chanel Teint Lumiere (I think that was the name) but they discontinued it 😭😭 The new product cost so much that I just couldn't buy it. I'm thrilled to see there is a great drugstore dupe! Next up, you have to check out the new Dior foundation that everyone is raving about. Have a great week!!💖💖
Hello @Meet Penelope ❤️ how are you, my beautiful friend?! Omg, yes, this Chanel foundation is so pricey! And it's so frustrating when companies discontinue a product we love! And omg!

Hi 🙋🏼♀️✨ I’d be curious to know wear time, no wear test? How long did each 1 wear for? My favorite is the Armani Luminous Silk! Have you tried that? It feels soooo amazing! Its pricey but worth it.
Hello @Belinda Fischer 🥰 how are you, my dear friend?! Ohhhh, I've been wanting to try the Armani Luminous Silk!!! As far as longevity, the No. 1 Chanel foundation won against the L'Oreal Tinted Balm, and that was a 12 hour wear test! The Tinted Balm wire off, but the Chanel hung in there, beautifully!

Cat. That is amazing. I need to find more affordable dupes with this stinking economy Mascara I've never found a drugstore I liked. They all clump Powder also for dry skin Thoughts ?
Hello @Melinda Genitempo 🥰 how are you, my beautiful friend?! My favorite mascara right now is kinda pricey, but worth every penny, the Tower 28 Beauty Make Waves mascara!

I’m debating on buying the full bottle which is now 78$ shoot I wish it was still 70 I have the smaller bottle in bdo1 which is beautiful. But the shade range is horrible because b10 is far more darker then bd01 and their are so many shades missing in between each shade I think ..
Omg @ChloeLow. It has gone up in price! Wow! I bought mine at Ulta using my points, but on the Chanel website, do they have other shades between BD01 and B10? I would definitely make sure I'd get a perfect shade match at that price! I just checked Chanel's website, and there's nothing between BD01 and B10 😞what a bummer! I wiah they made a travel size!
@@CatsEyeBeauty that’s how I first tried this foundation. I bought the travel size bottle on Mercari. But they don’t sell that size I think they are the ones that are in the boutiques that they use to shade match and are on display for customers to try on .. I got mine in package solid glass bottle .. it was beautiful smelled beautiful and looked beautiful. And yes only bdo1 is closest to my fair skin . I have someone on Mercari now who has b10 brand new in box for 40$ but I’m afraid it will be to dark :( 78 $ is so expensive but I want it so bad .. so fingers crossed I find it cheaper and my shade on Mercari ;)
@ChloeLow. crossing my fingers for you! After reading your comment, I pulled out mine, and wow! It's so pretty! I love the scent! Fragrance is lovely, and it is so bougie! 😍

I like the Chanel side , to me it looks brighter, but that price girlll!! No ty and the brushes are wayyy to expensive for synthetic , I’ll stick to what I know and love 😂 tfs
Omg @bxgal347 😆 I totally agree! That foundation is ridiculously overpriced and honestly, not that amazing lol! Sometimes I have to take one for the team, so you don't have to! ❤️ thank you so so much for watching, my dear friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🌼 🌻 🏵
Great review. I've been wondering about the Chanel No. 1. I've been so tempted to try it for my 63 y.o. dry skin. I still have pretty good texture, but I am starting to notice it's changing a bit. Salt NY has spoiled me. It's such a beautiful product and incredibly priced. I use mostly cream complexion products now with just a little bit of powder to set. I will skip the Chanel and just keep using my Salt NY. Thank you!
Omg, thank you so much @Laura Ann ❤️ it's really a luxurious foundation, but, I really think there are better, more affordable foundations! And yes, I was very curious about this specific foundation and I'm so glad I reviewed it! My complexion is constantly changing at 55 and I try to stay on top of it! Menopause is not fun! Thank you so so much for watching, my beautiful friend! You look amazing! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
You look gorgeous with both of them!
Awwww, thank you so much @Kelly B. 🥰 and thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
Hi Cat! I was a huge fan of the Chanel Teint Lumiere (I think that was the name) but they discontinued it 😭😭 The new product cost so much that I just couldn't buy it. I'm thrilled to see there is a great drugstore dupe! Next up, you have to check out the new Dior foundation that everyone is raving about. Have a great week!!💖💖
Hello @Meet Penelope ❤️ how are you, my beautiful friend?! Omg, yes, this Chanel foundation is so pricey! And it's so frustrating when companies discontinue a product we love! And omg! I did review the new Dior Forever Glow foundation and it's beautiful! It's one of my favorites! Thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🌸 💗 🌺
Hi 🙋🏼♀️✨
I’d be curious to know wear time, no wear test? How long did each 1 wear for?
My favorite is the Armani Luminous Silk! Have you tried that? It feels soooo amazing! Its pricey but worth it.
Hello @Belinda Fischer 🥰 how are you, my dear friend?! Ohhhh, I've been wanting to try the Armani Luminous Silk!!!
As far as longevity, the No. 1 Chanel foundation won against the L'Oreal Tinted Balm, and that was a 12 hour wear test! The Tinted Balm wire off, but the Chanel hung in there, beautifully! Thank you so so much for watching, my dear friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
@@CatsEyeBeauty I’m good and you? Fall 🍁🍂🎃is my favorite season and I am just enjoying it so much, the cool air feels wonderful!
Oh the Armani is soooo fabulous! I’m telling you, it’s worth a price tag! It literally does feel like silk!
I had a feeling that the Chanel would win the wear test, I like the L’Oreal but it does not last really long on the skin.
Cat I just got the Chanel with my points too! I do love 💗 it! I couldn’t find the right match in the loreal. I love the experience and scent too!
Omg @Kimberley Chavelle ❤️ yay! Did you have a Chanel rep at your Ulta?! I also got the Chanel Serum Mist? With my Ulta points, too. It's a beautiful serum mist and I will feature it in an upcoming video! Let me know what you think about the foundation! And thank you so so much for watching, my dear friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
@@CatsEyeBeauty at our Ulta they do not have Chanel so I guessed! I guessed right 😃 I do like it I love light to med coverage. I got hot rollers from Babyliss and a Chi dryer and other makeup! So I sent it ALL! Now I only have 18 dollars 💵. It was so fun shopping online! Thanks for your videos 🥰🤗💗💕
Cat. That is amazing.
I need to find more affordable dupes with this stinking economy
Mascara I've never found a drugstore I liked. They all clump
Powder also for dry skin
Thoughts ?
Hello @Melinda Genitempo 🥰 how are you, my beautiful friend?! My favorite mascara right now is kinda pricey, but worth every penny, the Tower 28 Beauty Make Waves mascara! It's $20, but you don't have to curl your lashes, no clumps and it lengthens even my stumpy lashes! And my favorite loose powder is the Dominique Cosmetics Translucent Blur powder! My complexion has been dry and this powder works beautifully! Thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
@@CatsEyeBeauty I did sample the tower 28. Promising. Haven't tried that powder
I have by Terry. Very special. Hourglass and Huda banana bright
PM undereye and CT which is fine too
Hey Cat how r u? I hope your ok. Your review never disappoint us as always and you always make us happy with your content you post. Stay safe as always

I love the balm. I bought it when you reviewed it a few months ago.
Oh my goodness @Cheryl Ruley ❤️ yay! I'm so happy you love it as much as I do! Thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
@@CatsEyeBeauty ❤️
I agree with you, I did buy it and was not impressed. I loved another one from Chanel and they discontinued it but I found the dupe in ELF foundation.
Great video sweetie 💜
Awwww, thank you so much @chica chatz 🥰 I was really hoping it would live up to thr hype, but there are so many other foundations out there that surpass this particular one! I need to try more ELF foundations, which one is your favorite? Thank you so so much for watching, my dear friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
@@CatsEyeBeauty flawless satin
Thank you @chica chatz 💗
Hallo beautiful you 💚. Oh my that is pricey! Great review and most definitely if a dupe is good no one knows. I agreed! I have a cut off point on foundation cost. That is too much. Much love hopefully you are feeling better. I am under the weather this weekend too. (COVID booster and flu shot on Friday, first time reacting to them) hugs 😘
Hello @Tami ❤️ how are you, my beautiful friend?! Ugh! I hope you are feeling better! I'm still feeling a little congested and sneezing lol! And yes, this foundation is beautiful and the price is you pay, in my humble opinion, is for the prestige of Chanel! Thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! I hope you have a wonderful week, my dear friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
@@CatsEyeBeauty hopefully your symptoms are gone ASAP! I am okay, just stuffy too and moving slow. Resting mostly to be ready to go go go in week ahead. Lots of love your way 💖
Yes @Tami 🥰 symptoms are a little better, but still feeling tired lol! And yes, I definitely rested to get this week going! Have a wonderful week, my dear friend! 🥰
@@CatsEyeBeauty 🌻💚🌻 much love
The Chanel looks more luminous even from here!
It's really beautiful! @Andy01833 ✨️ thank you so much for watching! Much love, Cat xoxo ✨️ ❤️ 🥰
Pretty look.
Awwww, thank you so much @Evelyn Rosado ❤️🥰❤️
Cat, you are so funny. Too pricey for this senior gal. Love the look, the color lipstick looks great on you, the whole look is beautiful. Allergies, just getting over a week of it myself. Love your humor and kitties.
Hello @Ann Coats 🥰 indeed! Very pricey! But, the lipstick is very affordable! Awww, thank you so much, my sweet friend! I hope your allergies get better soon! Thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
"Am I gonna use it"... grrrrl I bought that *** I'ma use that up to the last drop!
Lol heck yeah @Aynne Morrison 😁 down to the last drop! Thank you so so much for watching, my beautiful friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
I would def get the $70 foundation if I had the money, and one pump per application, is t would pay me forever bc like u I have a small face and I’m also 5 ft tall. Tfs
Hello @bxgal347 🥰 awwww, you're petite like me! Yay! And yes, whenever I'm applying foundation, even off camera, I use one pump, but it's always too much! Lol 😄 thank you so so much for watching, my beautiful friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
Great comparison Cat! I actually think the Chanel looks more beautiful, I think it more luminous. For the price difference and my budget I’d have to purchase the L’Oréal. Love to find something so similar and more affordable especially these days!!
I hope you feel better. I’m hearing lots of you saying you’re not feeling 100% in your vids. Be well girlie!
Awwww, thank you so much @laura laibach ❤️ I think it's the change of seasons here in Tennessee that's affecting my allergies! Although it's beautiful here with the foliage 🍁
And yes, the Chanel foundation is beautiful and quite luminous! 😍 I love testing out all types of makeup, but foundation is my favorite! I need to do a foundation round up! Thank you so so much for watching, my beautiful friend! I hope you have a wonderful week! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
I’m debating on buying the full bottle which is now 78$ shoot I wish it was still 70 I have the smaller bottle in bdo1 which is beautiful. But the shade range is horrible because b10 is far more darker then bd01 and their are so many shades missing in between each shade I think ..
Omg @ChloeLow. It has gone up in price! Wow! I bought mine at Ulta using my points, but on the Chanel website, do they have other shades between BD01 and B10? I would definitely make sure I'd get a perfect shade match at that price! I just checked Chanel's website, and there's nothing between BD01 and B10 😞what a bummer! I wiah they made a travel size!
@@CatsEyeBeauty that’s how I first tried this foundation. I bought the travel size bottle on Mercari. But they don’t sell that size I think they are the ones that are in the boutiques that they use to shade match and are on display for customers to try on .. I got mine in package solid glass bottle .. it was beautiful smelled beautiful and looked beautiful. And yes only bdo1 is closest to my fair skin . I have someone on Mercari now who has b10 brand new in box for 40$ but I’m afraid it will be to dark :( 78 $ is so expensive but I want it so bad .. so fingers crossed I find it cheaper and my shade on Mercari ;)
@ChloeLow. crossing my fingers for you! After reading your comment, I pulled out mine, and wow! It's so pretty! I love the scent! Fragrance is lovely, and it is so bougie! 😍
Dear Cat, you do NOT look in your fifties, your skin is amazing!😊🎉 The lOreal looks great, they do really good products, totally under rated. 😘💖😃❌⭕️❌⭕️
Omg @Shoshana1610 ❤️ you are too kind, my dear friend! And yes! L'oreal has some of my absolute holy grails! Thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
It’s $90 in Canada plus 15%tax🥴😤so I really appreciate this video.
Omg! That's insane @Penny 😳 wayyy too expensive! 😞

Wow. Chanel looks so much better and the ingredients are cleaner if you check Yuka.
Awwww, thank you so much! @liubavalisenco1443 ❤️ and thank you so much for watching! Much love, Cat xoxo ✨️ 🥰❤️
Chanel is much much better!
The Loreal is 11.99 on Amazon
Oh wow @I kozusnik ❤️ that's fantastic news! Thank you for sharing this information! And thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
Is there denatured alcohol in Chanel? Another YT channel states most drugstore brands have alcohol while high end does not.
Hello @Midlife Mom 🥰 I read through all the ingredients for the Chanel foundation and there is no denatured alcohol listed, which is a good thing! And I found that many setting sprays contain alcohol except for one, the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless setting spray! Interesting! Thank you so so much for watching, my dear friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
Good to know @Cathy Gordon! Which drugstore setting sprays are they?! I'd love to test them out! Thank you so much for this valuable information! 💗
Oh nice @Cathy Gordon! I love LA Girl makeup, they have a fantastic brow pencil and they're so affordable! I will definitely be on the lookout for LA Colors! Thank you so so much for sharing this valuable information! Yay!!! 🥰❤️🥰
Definitely sticking to drug store makeup after this!
Lol @Alexandra Hilson 😁 I know right?! It's crazy how much they charge for this exclusive foundation! Thank you so so much for watching, my dear friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🌸 💗 🌺
You cant get that Loreal one in Aust. unfortunately.
Oh no @CF 😢 I wonder why?! Do you have other L'Oreal products in Aust? I hope so! 🙏 thank you so so much for watching, my sweet friend! Much love, Cat xoxo 🥰 ❤️ 🍁 🌻 🌼
@@CatsEyeBeauty because we are a lonely island😪 😅 We do have loreal but for some reason not this product.
Hopefully it'll arrive soon 🙏 🥰❤️
Chanel side looks better, covers more,
Sorry not a dupe at all. No way . Balm , liquid just because it looks alike doesn’t mean same . Balm wear off quickly . Just a reach sorry
No worries @Marie Stopa 😊 thank you for sharing your valued input! ❤️
You pay for what you get sorry most of time
Love this review Cat!
