Advantages: Smooth hydrating, luxurious cream.
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to high street products

...Chanel Precision Hydramax Moisture Boost Cream is a truly luxurious treat for your skin. I was lucky enough to be treated to this gorgeous product during a pre-christmas shopping trip, which made life a lot easier for my boyfriend as the product was recommended at the Chanel counter to us based upon my skin type. I would highly recommend anyone considering luxury skin products such as this to visit the actual in store counter to try before they shop online and buy. Plus they often give you free samples to take home, fantastic! So whats it like? I have problems with fairly dry skin so I needed something to hydrate my skin without making it greasy and bringing me out in spots. The blue cream is very thick and well, creamy, which actually makes it great value for money as you only need apply a small amount to your face. Once... Read review

Advantages: Formulations for all skin types (cream, gel and lotion), smoother skin that feels toned after a couple of applications, matching serum top-up for extra dry skin, one jar lasts for ages and smells fresh, clean and gorgeous.
Disadvantages: Prohibitively expensive for a straight-up, non anti-ageing facial moisturiser. Lightly perfumed and non-hypoallergenic - unsuitable for sensitive skin.

...Dehydration appears to be the new buzz-word for the skincare and cosmetics industry. Everything from the hair on your head to the nails on your toes needs to 'drink more water' which can only be done - say the alchemists of cosmetology - by smearing semi-organic fats and acids that owe more H2SO4 than H2O liberally over every part of your body. It's all twaddle, but twaddle that's resulted this time in whole ranges of creams and lotions that claim to do one job: moisturise. For the long-term cosmetically confused, like me, who've spent years arguing the losing point across the cosmetics counter that it's all well and good having silk, elastane and extract of TARDIS in it BUT WILL IT MOISTURISE MY SKIN? They're all at it now - moisture delivery and the War Against Dehydration (WAD) is officially ON! And Chanel are late into the fray... Read review

Advantages: Removes every trace of stay put lipsticks and waterproof eye-make-ups
Disadvantages: none

...Having visited Boots to buy some new make-up, I had tried out several different colours of Max Factors Lipfinity on the back of my hand and wrist...Covered in it- I went to a counter that was free- this happened to be the Chanel counter. I asked for somthing to wipe my hand with- she put a few drops of somthing on a piece of cotton wool- and I wiped away every bit of the stay put lipstick off. Having had a different brand- the maybelline lipstick, and reviewing it as 'will it ever come off'! I realised how amazing this product was- and asked the lady- what was that? And 'HOW MUCH!' Priced at about £12, it is far more than I would usually pay for this type of product- but was worth the money... It is very expensive for a make-up remover- however, I bought one anyway- as it is somthing I have been looking for. This product... Read review

...I have been using the Chanel skin care line for over 15 years. As such, I have had the opportunity to watch the line evolve and also to view first hand results of regular use. I started with eye and face moisturizers - the type for youthful complexion. Today, I use Age Delay for the face and Age Delay for the eyes, the Precision line - Rectifiance Cream day and night and Eye Correction, Hydra Serum and Eclat Original, as well as the masks and exfoliator. I am now 42. The good stuff: I virtually have no lines on my face. I have a tiny line developing near my upper lip, and two shallow lines by my left eye due to sleeping on my left side, but otherwise, my eye area is very clear. My skin is very clear, unblemised, and with good skin tone and colour. My only real developing problem has been visible pores. Everyone says that I do... Read review
