1st Impression - Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation, The Face Shop INTEVIA Active Original Emulsion & Toner, Tony Moly Dr. Tony Ac Control Emulsion & Toner

I should be revising like crazy for exams, but I just can't help it, knowing that I haven't post these past. These are last bits of the free samples I got from my Seoul trip as well another sample foundation from Chanel that kind of tingling my 'Chanel-addict sensation'.

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation - in #64 Beige Ambre

I really wish Chanel didn't discontinued Mat Lumiere, I thought this might be same as that, but it's not actually. Perfection Lumiere is actually more matte flat compare to Mat Lumiere.
Nevertheless, I think this foundation is decent, the colour range is wide compare to their previous line. Although I was quite torned between #64 and #60. I tried the Mat Lumiere is #60 and I had Lift Lumiere in #60. Both are slightly too light for my complexion but not really a bit deal for me since I always like brighter foundation. There was nothing darker than that unlike Perfection Lumiere, there are more shades after #60.

Unfortunately, they ran out of #60 when I got there, so I can't really compare to the other #60 in different formula. So I tried #64, but it was a bit too orangey yellow to my liking. Yellow tone foundation at the right shade can give a brighthening effect on like MAC Studio Sculpt NC42 on me, but this is just mehhh! '-.-
If I wear this alone I look a bit orange *some might think that's ok, but not for me* and my complexion kind off dull and sallow. So I was quite annoy with the shades, how #60 can look a bit too light and #64 is a bit too dark/orangey. If they had something in between, that would be great.
Enough about the shades and now about the texture, it's light and quite runny. It sets into matte finish and they had claim that. Coverage is up to medium buildable  To be honest I can't really slap this on because of the 'orangey' effect it gives to my complexion.
In conclusion, since I am fan of Chanel, if I got the chance I'm going to visit the counter at Debenhams and trying it again and to get the a decent amount of sample *perhaps #60 and #64*, I only got 2 sachets from counter in Boots. *booo* . For those who like matte finish foundation and wants to go for a bit luxury, try this foundation but if you have quite dry and flaky skin, might opt for something else.

The Face Shop INTEVIA Active Original Emulsion & Toner

I got these free samples from Incheon Airport from my last trip and it also include their cream and comment on it here.

I enjoyed the richness of their cream and the same goes their toner and emulsion.
The toner is a milky fluid and thicker than the usual clear watery toner. As I would have expected the toner is very rich on the skin, smell nice and it does not have those 'milk' smell that is the usual for product like these. The emulsion is a light cream and my face feel very moisturized after I put on both of toner followed by this emulsion. I used these at night usually, together with the cream and continue on even when the cream is finished. As far as I notice these has not flared out my skin or cause a breakout. It feels just nice especially in the colder weather. Overall I think the INTEVIA range from The Face Shop is really good, the idea of stem cells is amazing and the products itself will very much attract those late 20's and early 30's group. Those with dehydrated skin will benefit a lot from this.

Tony Moly Dr. Tony Ac Control Emulsion & Toner
I just got to say Tony Moly really did well for this Ac Control range. It's very unexpected since typical affordable skincare would choose 'drying' 'matting' and oil-busting as the objective for their acne-control range.

It really get on my good side that this has non of those tea trea oil or those sulphuric sh*ts in it. Both the toner and the emulsion has a clean fresh smell and there's no medicated smell as well.
When I look it on the internet, apparently this range is botanical base and does not contain the typical acne-fighting ingredient, or even if they got it, it's not the active or main ingredient. They contain the Sciadopitys Verticillata Root extract or the Japanese Umbrella-pine which I don't know much about. It claims to soothes skin problems and tighten the pores. More on Japanese Umbrella-pine, it is said to be antimicrobial as well, so that makes sense for it to be in acne-fighting skincare.
The toner is a typical clear water-like liquid and the emulsion is just a white light cream. I used both of these in the days where some spots coming out and it does wonder. It work well with my Benzoyl Peroxide gel and it doesn't cause any drying or flakiness on face as I would expect from an acne-fighting skincare. This feature alone is very attractive to me. Those with dry but acne-prone skin would really like this. I believe my spots come down faster with these in combination of my Benzoyl Peroxide gel. If these are easily obtained I wouldn't mind having it for those very bad skin days. *I wish I got a larger sample*
