The NARS is a bit higher coverage, thicker texture, more radiant/glowy finish and probably a touch longer lasting. The Chanel is a bit sheerer, more of a subdued, semi-matte finish, looks more natural. They're both excellent foundations (probably my 2 absolute favourites) so you can't go wrong with either.sleepandwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916100256685023244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-11780111372904928142015-01-13T23:04:35.906+11:002015-01-13T23:04:35.906+11:00Haha awesome, I hope you enjoy it and it doesn'...Haha awesome, I hope you enjoy it and it doesn't disappoint! sleepandwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916100256685023244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-76487150616639672672015-01-13T23:01:04.633+11:002015-01-13T23:01:04.633+11:00Thank you for those suggestions, so helpful!

Although I miss blogging, I have to admit I have completely lost my touch. As always, I love your blog and hopefully as long as you keep your posts up I'll be sparking an interest in my hands to bring in a new post for 2015 and start fresh ahaha.<br /><br />You should have seen me when I went to Hong Kong in October, I literally walked into SaSa soooo many times to stock pile up on the Dolly Wink Eyeliner was absolutely ridiculous. But, at least I don't have to worry about running out now lol. I bought FIVE. -____-" Tell me I have problems. Your faves from the Naked 3 palette is also what I reach for the most in mine and that palette has been the only one I've been using 95% of the time when I put on eyeshadow. Although the tube of full cover concealer I have from Make Up For Ever will probably last me a life time, your love for the NARS concealer has my attention now and I'm itching to try it. :P helloadastrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115972167778766427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-22947634375448818202015-01-06T16:31:39.931+11:002015-01-06T16:31:39.931+11:00Happy New Year!
