@ttsandra Just wanted to say, your one of the few "gurus" I still watch on youtube; love your blog too. It's because you're relatable (urgh, I hate that word but am lacking a better one :p), your videos/posts are entertaining and informative, and you don't come across as though make-up is the be-all and end-all of life. As someone else said, you're beautiful inside and out :).
@MsRia1989 thank you so much for the kind comment. I am no guru by any means, just a passionate makeup lover and consumer - I love sharing my ideas and finds on here and it means a lot to me that you enjoy my videos and blog! thanks for taking the time to watch and read my rambles :) x
YSL lip progducts smell of apricots. My apricot body lotion from Jason smells exactly the same, and also i remember from my childhood garnier or nivea sun lotion smelled like that, so it always reminds me of the beach.
I'm taking a philosophy/ethics course called vice and virtues. We're going through the 7 deadly sins and I was happy to find an echo here on my guilty pleasure :p
I always look forward to your videos. I have used the Chanel Pro Lumiere for years--I don't know why they feel the need to discontinue an item when I feel the new foundation does not live up to the Pro Lumiere. I have ordered 3 backups from Neimans, but after those are gone I will be on the hunt for a new foundation : ( Love the YSL volupte lipsticks too--so addictive! I just want you to know how much I appreciate all your vids--you have very similar taste to mine so thanks so much!
Great tag, Sandra. Loved hearing your thoughts on Chanel Perfection Lumiere. Chanel really screwed the pooch on that one. The LM Rose Rendezvous looks amazing on you. My gawd, your bone structure is stunning. And so are you, inside and out. Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Sandra and greetings from Finland! An interesting tag and a great video! I share your "philophy" i.e. I don't hunt for beauty products (or any other products for that matter) either. I definitely believe this makes life a lot easier and stress free :)
i got chantecaille just skin in the wrong color! lol so im gonna save to get the right one... and then i got the future skin in the perfect color but it almost has no coverage for me which is not how its supposed to be so sample first would be my recomendation! :)
Really interesting. I will be looking back fir any contouring videos u have. I have yet to master it and it can make a difference in yur opinion ( which I trust)
Sorry to be an enabler, but Sandra you have to get the chantecaille just skin tinted moisturizer :p It's pretty decent coverage and its great for combination skin
@echolalia85 arrrrrgh I know I know!! i told myself i need to finish up both my Dior and Liz Earle tinted moisturizers before I can purchase that one though!! I can't wait
@ttsandra LOL, you should read Vivianna's blog, she did a post on it and she said that she can't quite justify the price tag :/ But each to their own!
@controversiaster i have used Chantecaille skincare before and I really loved it so I will probably give it a try anyway, we all have different skin types and not everything works the same on different individuals :)
I've been a long time reader of your blog, and I just randomly found your Youtube channel a week ago. I had no idea you were 15Steps, and it was driving me CRAZY because I knew I recognized you from somewhere! Just figured it out haha :)
@CameronArmy yay! well I am glad you found me on here as well! I have a link to my youtube on my blog now but it's not showcased or anything so it can be easily missed :)
My MUA never told me that Matte was being discontinued either, but I have heard that various times on here from people in other locations! I hope it is not true--that is my HG foundation, not that it looks unbelievable, but my skin responds well to it. It is the only one I can rely on! I'm so glad you said something about the SMELL of Perfection L!! I thought I was the only one. So much more heavily fragranced. Also broke me out. I miss Pro Lumiere so much. Loved this vid! xoxoxo
This is the first video of yours I've watched. I enjoyed it because you seem like an intelligent girl who loves beauty products. There's nothing worse than watching a beauty video where the guru has a vocab of about 5 words, haha.
Thanks for the shout out, Sandra! I loved watching this video. The Chanel fragrance in their foundation makes me break out, so no Chanel foundation for me in any formulation. :(
Sandra you look so beautiful, fresh and glowing in this video. Lovely make up in general!! And liked how you are showing your personality more in this video. :)) I am also getting to the 'deadly pale' time of the year and not sure how to fight against it. I dont like using selftanners. Like you, I also always want to feature my cheeks by using conture and blush.
@mi555u tell me about it, today was the first day that i saw the sun in so long!! i think the best way is to embrace the paleness haha I found that I have to use some different products/blushes in order to make it work with the lighter skin tone but it ends up working out in the end :)
So bummed about the Chanel foundation, I was excited to try it. I love how you don't go hunting for products, sometimes I do and it becomes a real pain but I need to be more lax'ed about it. This is such a fun tag. Have a great weekend! :)
@maebelllee all the makeup that i wear in my videos is listed in the info bar below :) i am wearing chanel perfection lumiere... it looks nice after a few hours of wear once the matte look wears off
I just bought the Chanel foundation and had the same problem. I am trying to counteract the problem by using Laura Mercier primer - radiance. Just adds abit of luminousity. Still very undecided tho...
Love your take on this Tag, Sandra. You are always lovely to listen to. I have the same Tom Ford lipstick, and even though it's so expensive, I really like it. I wish you to get that Chantecaille tinted moisturizer soon :-) Love, Hana x
The lighting and the background in this video are perfect, Sandra! It looks so professional:) Plus, that lipstick is divine on you, such a pretty color! xx
$50 is your most expensive product?. I was sure that something like Dior Amber Diamond or some of your Chanel foundations would be more. I know I paid more than $50 for Chanel foundations in Canada.
@pinkabuki i mentioned in the video that i picked whatever was most expensive by weight. yes chanel foundation/powder cost more than $50 but you get more product than you would in a single lipstick :) so technically by weight I consider the tom ford lipstick the biggest splurge!
You look absolutely STUNNING in this video! More so than usual. How much was your Perfection Lumiere? Here in the states it's priced at $55. That along with the super matte face it gives me within the 1st hour is what stopped me from buying it.
@keenalovesyou hmm, I was told by different Chanel employees that Mat will be discontinued too, just not right away like Pro was. good that they won't because Mat was very nice!
@keenalovesyou@ttsandra Hey, I have recently started working as a Chanel make-up artist at one of the counters in Australia. And to the best of my knowledge Mat lumiere is not being discontinued, however there has been some talk about a change in the formula in the up coming future.
I do not like some of these questions in these tags lately. I watched a beauty video the other ay and there were three questions that were religious/political which is controversial. Do you believe in god? Do you believe in heaven? Do you believe in hell? Seriously, that has nothing to do with beauty and is not something we should randomly discuss
@symmetricalastic I don't think that who created this tag did it intentionally to allude to anything about religion, but you never know. I am not sure how it got started
@MRSLroche you know what, I didn't mind it when I smelled it on the tester, but for some reason once I put it on all over my face it gets overwhelming. It's supposed to be the same scent that's in Bronze Universal (and that one I love) so I'm not sure why the Perfection Lumiere scent one irritates me so much
@ttsandra Just wanted to say, your one of the few "gurus" I still watch on youtube; love your blog too.
