Whats up with the one shade? yeah, i don't know about that. I'm loving Smashboxes CC so much right now, I think I'll pass on this.Found it on chanel.com...I don't think this would work for darker skin tones, though. There seems to be only one shade

I am using the NARS TM and the UD Beauty Balm...I guess that's enough alphabets for me too

I knowwwwwwwwwwwwww...and I would have to go to the counter to get the proper color match too..guess I won't be buying it before September. Though, it's a good thing..aren't the blushes supposed to come out this month? Everything launching together would kill my credit card

I saw that..and that's how I guessed it's toooooooooooooooo light. Chanel, of course, has very "helpful" descriptions about the shade

I hesitate to try it because my rosacea hates witch hazel and alcohol.

I'm so extremely happy with the Smashbox CC cream that this is an easy pass.
Winthrop, I'm not sure about the ingredients in the Smashbox one, I would have to look.

I checked into the Smashbox and it has chemical sunscreens so I wouldn't be able to use it.

I'm usually a B10/BR12-22 in Chanel foundations and it works on me. It's 100% titanium dioxide sunscreen. It's virtually alcohol free (it's like the 15th ingredient) and it wears all day long. It's actually somewhat mattifying on my skin.
Also Chanel says it's equivalent to B20 in Vitalumiere Aqua, but I find it less yellow-toned that that.

I don't smell it after application... Although there is a fragrance. It's not obnoxious like the Shiseido Urban Environment range. Doesn't linger on my skin as long as Chanel's purete ideale serum. But take my comment in regards to fragrance with 2c. I LOVE fragrance. Fragrance is such a remarkable part of Chanel's DNA. I did lightly dust rosee douce poudre to set it, but it mainly added that subtle glow. It gives pretty good coverage. You just need a concealer for any problem areas. Given the Beige 20 color matches.

I don't find the scent overpowering. Once it is blended and I don't even notice the faint floral scent anymore. I apply a bit of powder over it to help with the color. The shade 20 is a bit too light for me and I apply a powder which is more of my skintone.
