Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Base

Chanel's cult bronzer...one of the most expensive luxury products I own...but worth every penny. In all fairness, the price is close to economical compared to other brands because you get a whole 30 grams of product which is equal to most foundation bottles compared to 8-12 grams you get otherwise. So let's just get on with it....

The famous Chanel logo..

Price: About 280 dhs

Packaging: A big tub of product housed that is semi transparent plastic and the cap has the signature Chanel logo. There is a protective cap which is also a plus. The twist down cap closed well.

Product: Let us do this point wise:

  1. The texture is smooth but if you press it slightly, a dent is not made. It glides on, almost slippery and on the skin it sets to a semi powdery finish.
  2. Its very blendable and very long lasting..it lasts the whole day.
  3. The color will work for most skin tones, maybe very fair skinned people will need to use a light hand, it may not show up on very dark skins, but on my medium skin it is ideal for bronzing and for contouring. Some people find it a bit orange, I don't have this issue.
  4. Down side is that when I work my brush in it, some hairs are left behind and picking them out is a big headache. Other than that its perfect...
  5. To me its matte, but not flat and boring, makes the skin look naturally bronzed or contoured.
The product in the tub, I've used this so much yet I've made just a tenny weeny dent.

Swatched heavily on the left and blended out towards the right.

If you're looking to treat yourself, this is the one product I highly recommend. 

Though Bourjois (also owned by the same parent company) so something like this, it is not a dupe. Sonia Kashuk also do something along these lines, but still not a dupe. This product is unique!

Marks: 10/10
