CC Cream by Chanel: Worth The Hype?

Chanel CC Cream

Last week, I gave you an introduction to CC creams, what they are and what they can do for you. To recap, they’re a refined version of the very popular BB creams which offers better colour control/colour correction to the skin.

Today I’m going to review a CC cream by Chanel. Now Chanel did not jump onto the BB cream bandwagon like Dior did. It didn’t really occur to me why until Paris B commented in the introduction post that maybe Chanel wanted to properly utilise the term CC creams to match their famous double interlocking Cs. I have no idea if that’s true but damn, that was a good hypothesis. 😛

2012: The Year That Was

I was thinking of how I was going to wrap 2012 up in a blog post, remembered how I did it in 2011 and thought what the heck, let’s do it again! 🙂

Going through my archives made me appreciate 2012 a whole lot. It has been a really good year. I had the opportunities and pleasure to experience things I never had before.

In January 2012, I started keeping a small journal. I wasn’t sure if I would follow it through (just look at the stacks of barely used Moleskines in my drawer and you’ll know why). I started writing only highlights of the day on an almost daily basis. I’m going to have fun reading the journal tonight from January 1 with a glass of wine 🙂
