Poudre Signee de Chanel Illuminating Powder

So I was cruising my local Chanel counter and spotted the most gorgeous compact on display! The Poudre Signee de Chanel Illuminating Powder is part of the Spring Printemps Precieux de Chanel collection and is so stunning!! At first I thought, "do I really need another highlighter? I mean I really do love my Laura Mercier. And at $68 maybe it's not the wisest buy if I'm happy with my current situation". Whatever. Once I saw the applicator, I quickly squashed my inner voice. The applicator is like a giant eyeshadow sponge which allows it to deliver the perfect amount of color at the perfect angle to highlight cheekbones or you can use with a fluffy brush for an all over 'lit within' radiance. Genius!! And the finish is flawless, as if you've been airbrushed. While I need to be careful when applying the Laura Mercier (ive swatched it below, Chanel on the left, LM on the right) because it tends to deposit too much color, this is a beautiful peachy pink beige that's very light and sheer. If your looking for a highlighter that highlights your skin and not itself, try this! I didn't have too much time to spend looking at the rest of the collection, but I will be going back! The blush in Frivole is calling my name!!
