My current foundation is a few shades too dark for my complexion, I didn't want to fork out the cash and purchase a whole new foundation for my winter/spring skin, as it's a Giorgio Armani one (and as you could imagine quite expensive!).. So after searching online and in stores I discovered Chanel's 'Le Blanc'.
From the 'Le Blanc' range, it's a multiple-use product mainly used as a primer. It's a very 'white' brightening formula which I find is great for tackling any redness or darkness on my skin. It can also be used to mix in with your foundation to brighten it (which is why I've invested in it), or as a subtle highlighter over makeup.
I love it so far, it comes with a handy spatula which you dip in the wide mouthed bottle, and just enough product is picked up on the spatula for my entire face. I mix that with a pump of my foundation and voila! It's lighter and more brightening.. Saves me buying a summer and winter foundation (Tip: the more 'Le Blanc' you add the lighter the foundation becomes).
This was a pricey investment at £31, but it is Chanel after all and the formula has a really nice consistency to it as well as Chanel's signature rosy smell (not overpowering at all).
I wear my foundation when I feel I need it, but on the days when it's more sunny or I'm just popping out somewhere.. or I just want my skin to breathe, I pop 'Le Blanc' on and I'm out the door.

| 'Le Blanc' Blended In |
One last thing, I noticed this product has NO shimmer or glitter specs in it, I was amazed at how it gives such a luminous glossy glow, it literally looks like a healthy sheen on the face, no shimmer what.so.ever - perfect for me! It comes in an SPF form too which is perfect for those who want protection from the sun.
Next time you pass by the Chanel counter defiantly give 'Le Blanc' a swatch. If you feel bad about making a hole in your credit-card lets not forget about the classic Chanel bag the makeup comes in ;) *Eeek!* (mines hanging on my door!).
