Review: NEW Chanel "Vitalumiere Aqua"

My first thoughts after using this foundation for the first time were "OH MY GOSH, I love it!!"
 At first, after seeing many people wearing the normal "Vitalumiere" (Keep checking up for my Vitalumiere vs Vitalumiere Aqua post) I thought that this wouldn't set and would just slide off my skin within a couple of hours (I have combination skin).

However, I was pleasantly surprised - after setting it with my normal pressed powder, I was pleased to see how nicely matte it looked - and it lasted all day too, a whopping 9 hours before I wiped it off, and it was the most product I had ever seen left on the wipe, too!

The only downside is that being a high end product I have a feeling (as far as I have researched) that it will retail for around £31 which is quite pricey for a foundation - however, it has to be the best quality one I have used.

I used Beige 20, which I'm pretty sure will be perfect for most white skin tones as I received a magazine sample - It was the PERFECT colour for me!
As far as breakouts are concerned, it wasn't TOO bad, however that's because I am very acne prone - It will DEFINITELY be fine on all normal skins.

My advice is: Don't be put off by the "Aqua" - I think it is designed more for oily skins, or for pople who need medium coverage without feeling like that are wearing to much makeup.
ps. The packaging looks gorgeous. It's in a classy plastic bottle with black cap - slightly different to the other " Lumiere " foundations in their range.
