Teint Innocence Du Jour 1.29.11

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday so far.

I wanted to review a product I am really loving right now. I have been promising this review for a month already, but I really wanted to fully and properly test it out!

As you all know I am not a foundation lover, but I found one for nights out that I am really enjoying. Chanel Teint Innocence Fluide, so of course I fall in love with this product and I find out it is discontinued from Chanel. However, I was able to buy this at my local Chanel counter at Bloomingdales, I am sure your local counter will still have also.



I was picking up my ol faithful HG of foundations which is Chanel Vita-Lumiere. I got a sample of Teinte Innocence and tested it out every day for two weeks.

My thoughts? I loved it so much that I went back and shelled out the $45 dollars for the full size. I picked up the color Clair Cameo, the same as what I wear in Winter for Vita Lumiere. I always match my skin in winter because I never wear foundation in the summer. I just love a good tan!

Anyyyywaaayyy, back to the topic, the formula is amazing. This however, is not for covering up problematic skin or any scars etc. This is more of a perfecting formula, it is not opaque, however it is build-able. It is shockingly lightweight and oil free so its great for letting your skin breathe while adding luminosity! I use one layer as as a tinted moisturizer of sorts, but better. It evens everything out and adds a great glow. You can add another layer and it will become a lot more opaque. I like just one because luckily I have no redness, scaring or acne. I have very dry skin and this does a great job of not creating any dry patches, in fact it give you a very moisturized look without adding oil to to you skin. It gives off a glowing look with light reflecting particles which also gives a diffused look to the skin.

Someone that likes a thick opaque formula will NOT like this. This is a very light fluid that gives skin a gorgeous glow and a light coverage to perfect your skin but let your skin shine through. If that is what you like then I HIGHLY recommend this.

You can check it out on Chanel.com here but they only have the chesnut color. I would recommend checking out Saks here or Bloomingdales here.

Have you ever tried this? Will you?

  5. $45 - I had a feeling Chane foundations are a lot more expensive - around $60 I guess

  10. Never tried the fluid. I use the Teint Innocence compact and is very nice for nights out. During the day I use the Hydramax Tint. It's very hydrating and leaves skin with a nice even glow. You would like it.
