I have so many things to say about Chanel and sadly none are positive. But once upon a time I was summoned to Chanel HQ in London after a video I did made them very very unhappy. It was an experience I have never forgot.
Wayne Goss First off...I JUST LOVE YOU!! Second...Oh please do tell! I’ll grab my popcorn and wine!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Wayne Goss hmmmmm. Sounds like a company might be wandering away from their classics and going super trendy! Some brands need to stay in their lane. If you are good at classics, don’t bend to the trends
I agree. Back in the day I used to live and breath Chanel makeup (20 odd years ago). I also loved their nail polish. But now I avoid them entirely as there are just so many other brands out there that offer a better formula (often at a better price). Think it’s hilarious that they called you in to HQ. Hopefully it was a positive experience
I have no doubt in your honesty. Fact is fact. If they produce products not worth it than why take our money ?
Please do tell, Wayne. We will love you more, if this is possible.
Why would they do this??? This is one of their best selling product, a holy grail, and they change it? Just add more colors to the existing formula, that’s all they needed to do!
I'm taking a guess that they changed the formula due to Cyclopentasiloxane. Companies are stepping back from this particular silicone. It got forbidden to some extent in the EU already (not allowed in wash-off products anymore, still allowed to some extent in leave-on products). Imo, it's very likely, that the restrictions will become more strict in the near future. Atm, the restrictions are there, because Cyclopentasiloxane is not good for the environment, once it enters the water cycle, hence it got forbidden in wash-off products like e.g. conditioners. But there is some research that says, it also might be not so good for human health.
Jasmin Blüte so is it conclusive that this one ingredient is what *made* this product? I feel like they still could have put more effort into the final product quality if they had to omit one ingredient.
@@elyssaah-lee-sa2292 Well, it was one of the main Ingredients. So, it makes sense to not use it again in a reformulatiom, if chances are high that this main ingredient will become forbidden in the near future. There's no use in reformulating, if you have to reformulate everything again after only a few months. More often than not, new restrictions/regulations that affect one ingredient are the reason behind reformulations. E.g. you can't just take parabens out of a product and e.g. put another preservative in. Maybe the parabens needed a certain pH and all the other ingredients also only worked well at this pH. And maybe other preservatives need a higher pH to work, which means you can't use all the other former ingredients because they won't stay stable at a higher pH. Also, maybe parabens were allowed to take up to 5% in a formulation. And the other preservative is maybe only allowed up to 1%. And you can't just replace the missing 4% with e.g. water because this again will destroy the whole formulation. That was all I was saying. There are millions of reasons to consider, when it comes to formulating a product. And sometimes, even when you carefully consider all aspects (which I'm pretty sure, Chanel does), it just happens that the new product is not anywhere near the old product. All brands have these kind of products. I loved the old formula of Soleil Tan de Chanel and break out like crazy from coconut and/or cocoa butter. You know what? I'm just not gonna buy the new version and give my money to another brand. And I'm a huge Chanel lover. But that doesn't mean, I can or have to like each and every of their products.
3 things about coconut oil: (1) it melts your makeup, (2) it can clog pores, and (3) many people are allergic. 🤷🏾♀️ Why Chanel?
Yeah! Being EXPENSIVE high-end brand, at least do some research and use good ingredients.
Is so comedogenic
@@CrisDaniTheGirl Yeah, on comedogenic scale (0 being least comedogenic and 5 the highest) coconut oil is 4-5.
Ppl dont like Surratt(talc in e/s) and Kevyn Aucoin(mineral oil) for similar reasons. Glowy skin is the thing...this re-form product is probably better w tinted moisturizer or spot concealing...i am def a light-med coverage gal w normal-dry skin and am of ethnic persuasion...my skin loves coconut oil.
These is true over a certain amount. It's kinda of unfair this hate of the project because you all dislike coconut oil.
That's an expensive jar of pigmented coconut oil. And omg. People like to use coconut oil to remove makeup. When i see companies infuse coconut oil to their makeup i'm like...WOT? It's like using an oil cleanser as your primer.
AC Sadly,more like $50. trash.....Chanel at this point is just an super expensive brand who's relevance has come and gone. I've heard that their handbags aren't even made in France anymore,and the quality has gone down so bad that people are looking for older bags from decades ago. And don't get me started on the retail stores with their salepeople... Now they are only relying on the name to sell anything.....
@@deirdreevangelista856 Huge yikes! It's insulting when they try to hide changes with their quality. And not adding more shades makes it worse. While the original looks beautiful on Mel. That would literally disappear on me. Tbh the only chanel bags i ever see are when youtubers or instagrammers flaunt it. Otherwise, as you said, vintage is where their money lies.
I feel the same about mineral oil... The key ingredient in cold creams, which have been used for generations to remove makeup, is mineral oil... Everyone raves about Becca highlighters, but at $40, they're actually more expensive than the Chanel bronzer... There's really no reason any brand should include oil of any kind, at any price point, especially in a powder...
@@jordanbronner3752 holy crap, i never thought of beauty products like that? Like how they inject chicken with salt water lol.
@@xamyx2205 Certain oils are fine, beneficial even. Plenty of powder products have oil in them to help with blending, it honestly depends on the type of oil.
My guess is the reformulatiom wasn't so much about "perfecting" the formula as it was about trying to make it with cheaper ingredients to increase the profit margin. 😏
bingo
Of course, but what angers me as a consumer is that they already had an expensive product (Chanel is generally expensive) that was selling just fine because it actually worked. Now, instead of making more money by adding new colours and being able to thus sell the product to more people, why just take the product and turn it into shit? I mean, the developing costs for new colours of an existing formula can‘t be higher than re-doing the whole thing?? It‘s just greed my dears, greed. They never learn. And I would like to know the secret to why generally very well sold products get discontinued or changed? Let‘s not start with Mac‘s Warm Soul, to this day they are not admitting to reformulating it...
@@sanzime you have to also remember, that there are idiots in charge. i wish we could have an answer to why great popular products get discontinued constantly and subpar shit is put in its place.
Agree
@@sanzime This is something I don't get. By adding bunch of colors they'd be able to increase their profit margin. I think the one in charge isn't very smart when it comes to business, or perhaps he just doesn't care.
I think Chanel should be flooded with emails/phone calls to voice our distaste! WHY WHY WHY would they change a stellar, cult product when there was nothing wrong with it?!?! 🤷♀️ Who was complaining about the original one??? 🤦🏼♀️ 🙄😬
Right!!! Nobody complained about the formula, just the shade range 😓
Ok. Lets start now.
Gee L I’m down for that 🤛🏼
Let’s all do that!
Mel Thompson from experience, when people complain companies make horrible changes..
This is not a product I use, but I’m so tired of companies not being honest when changing their products. It’s as if companies thought consumers wouldn’t notice because of how much makeup being were buying.
Same!!! Just let us the truth!!!
*people
Never forget about Mac’s Warm Soul blush, where to this day, they insist they didn’t change the color 😑
Sarah Weaver It’s also super dangerous. If they change a formula to include an allergen or sensitizing ingredient and don’t mention an ingredient change, it can cause serious issues for some people.
Like Sunday Riley now with her tidal face cream... Say the true!
When I asked a Chanel rep at the Nordstrom’s store, I also asked if they were going to make more bronzer colors. They SA looked at me at rudely and said, “You just have to use a lot more for your skin tone.” Um, noooo.....
Would you mind doing a "bronzer" favorites for those of us that can't get the original? Or even a dupe video?
Sharyn Cadogan yes please!!!!
Yes!!!! Dupes for the original bronzer!!!!
Yes it would be really helpful and appreciated Mel. Thank you dear.
Soleil de tan sounded like a one-of-a-kind product, so I don't hold out hope for dupes, but this would be a great time to hear Mel's thoughts on options. There must be other good cream or stick formulas ones even if in different shades and textures. Hourglass Illume. Tom Ford. Huda. Nudestix. Milk. Maybe some stick foundations in a bronzy shade?
Apparently milk cream bronzer is quite similar????
WTH?!? Coconut oil breaks me out also. Why? Just why? So glad I still have my original Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzer. Never getting the new one
It’s very comedogenic - whyyyyy!!
It breaks me out too:( Luckily mine is only 2 years old, so there's a ton left lol! Can't say that about many other makeup products lol!
right?! i just bought mine end of last year. im covered!
I had to discontinue my relationship with chanel because of this.....they broke my little makeup heart 💔
We who needs bad products.....honesty and integrity will always be highlights 🥰
😓
2020. Chanel insistis on naming this "universal". Girl....
It’s “universal” for a very narrow range of skin tones 😒
SaBr 417 I will always hold them accountable for this
SaBr 417 alsoooo their IG though.... how come they never demo complexion products on the dark skinned girls but they do on the light skinned girls?
@@DangersGirl4Ev thats why white folks who claim to love on us need to ally and hit them where it hurts...but hegemony exists and ppl are out for self. White people claim to not be racist still rock LV Gucci Balenciaga and Fendi too! Even after they are informed!
you are the one who sounds racist with the “us” and “them” divisive language. Stroll on, black Karen @@andreathesexy1
Mel, let us know how it goes when you get called in to Chanel HQ about this video 🤭
Haven’t companies ever heard the saying “Why fix something if it isn’t broke”. I don’t understand it. This is ridiculous I feel the same way about the Tarte primer that was reformulated because that was my HG!!!! I’m sure they will realize it sucks when not too many people buy the new cream formulation!!!!
Sarah Davis I thought of the smooth canvas right away too ! I’m fuming over all of these .😠The powder too! The blatant lying by the brands and further insulting our intelligence when we all can clearly read the ingredient list ! Just makes me furious ! I know it’s makeup but it’s the principle or lack thereof that really gets me . I can’t respect it .
By the way , Clarins makes a brilliant pore filler that has completely replaced the Tarte for me . Try it out . It’s creamier , pink pearlescent ,but not shimmery in any way , and blurs and fills like nobodies biz . It’s a hidden gem !💎
oh what it called?
Carly Kent It’s called ,Instant smooth perfecting primer .
@@PinCushionQueen I actually have this. Its great!
I completely agree coconut oil is a massive mistake. Such a shame! And so true about the shade range.
Literally at the beginning of the video I was like “what’s going on with her right cheek?” Lol it was immediately obvious this reformulation is AWFUL
It makes her cheek look dirty and textured. That’s just horrible at any price point, but especially for $50+ 🤦♀️
SaBr 417 totally agree! She is SO STUNNING and it always sucks when one of your favorite products gets changed for the worse, especially at that price!
Oh I’m so disappointed! You know Chanel seems to do this a lot! Saying the formula is not changing when it does! They changed the CC cream last year after 3 or 4 representatives promised me it wouldn’t! They also did the same with a foundation last year. I had just ordered the bronzer right before they changed it. Had I known this was happening I would have ordered backup! Ugh 😩. Omg. The powder too! Oh thank you!!!
I hate that!!! I feel like the reps aren’t being told the truth and that’s sad
Same here. I wish I ordered a back up too.
I’ll be trying the Fenty cream bronzer when it’s available. The colors look amazing.
Yes! I’m waiting for that to come out!!! 😍
I want to try that one too. I love the powder bronzer.
Ooh! Maybe I will give that a try!!
@@melthompson2856 I own and love the Chanel bronzer but recently bought the new Tarte cream bronzer and I have to say I like the Tarte one more! It might be worth trying 😘
Nicole Zompa I’ve been curious about the Tarte one ! Thanks !
It's like it creates a weird, dirty sheen in the entire area on the left cheek area. So strange!
🥺 I never tried the original but it was always on my list. Sadly, i never picked it up. Biggest. regret. ever!
Ditto.
Christine Williams same here. Kept wishing they’d make a smaller version. I thought I’d never go through the whole pot and it would be a waste of money. I don’t wear much makeup and avoid the sun at all costs, so a great bronzer is something I’ve been considering for a while and I was set on Chanel’s. I just turned 58 and have great skin. A cream formulation was appealing to me and by all indications, Chanel was the way to go. Not anymore. ☹️
Maybe it's better this way. It was on my wishlist too, but in my opinion I was lucky. What if I found a HG products only to then discover that I can't use it anymore as soon as it's finished?
@@1rulenorules534 That is a great point!
1Rule Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Maybe not so much when it comes to makeup? 🤪
I’m not 100% sure but the reason of this change is not “cheaper ingredients to make more money” like some people say in the comments as the original formula contains a lot of cheap ingredients. The first ingredient of the original formula, cyclopentasiloxane (a very cheap but potentially dangerous silicone) has been banned in beauty products in Europe. Not totally illegal but it can’t represent more than 1% of the formula I think so it becomes useless to put it in. If I’m right then they didn’t really had the choice to change it and they would probably have loved to continue selling this popular product. So yeah it sucks, we can be mad at the brand, at the European Union, etc but I think it’s great that armful ingredients are not in our daily products anymore. “Un mal pour un bien” as we say in French 🤗
You, sir, are absolutely correct. I am so glad you brought this up. "The chemicals cyclomethicone (D4) and cyclopentasiloxane (D5) will be banned from use in cosmetics as of 2020 because they have been found to be hazardous for aquatic life once the cosmetics they’re in are washed off." It's frustrating when companies make changes that seem arbitrary. Chanel is notorious for reformulating classic perfumes. This happens after ingredients are banned by IFRA. So, typically these changes happen for reasons undisclosed to the consumer, or this instance fanbase. : )
@@Bungeejumper1377 thanks, I figured the changes weren't simply cost equated. Inexplicably modifying the formulation of a lynchpin product when there is already such a wide profit margin built into it, wouldn't be worth the risk. So why not just make a statement in regards to the change? Because they don't want to call attention to the ingredient in other products, or other possibly restricted ingredients and products they haven't reformulated yet?
@@maebandy My thoughts exactly! Knowledge is a profitless endeavor for any corporation.
Ok but they put coconut oil on it.. so is not like “armful ingredients are not in our daily products anymore”.
Chanel uses quite cheap ingredients in general. I have their loose powder and its just cornstarch with a little amount of pigment.
Why do companies do this? Change something that’s already perfect? I had always wanted to try it but it’s well above my price range
That purple eye is EVERYTHING!! You are my favorite beauty influencer and I love your videos!
Sure wish I could wake looking this GORGEOUS in the morning. Good Morning Beautiful Mel!💖🌹
Coconut oil if I look at it I’ll get huge acne breakouts any type of coconut my mouth and throat burns if I eat it I’m with you my skin can not take it
Coconut oil absolutely destroys my skin. I took extra measures tying to make sure I could get it all off 😭😭
And dermatologist don’t recommend putting coconut oil on the face in general, so I find it strange that companies started putting it in products 🤷🏻♀️
And the powder too? First they messed with my perfection lumiere foundation and now this! Why? Thank you so much for the heads up!
SO SAD!! My skin does not like Coconut Oil, and it makes sense that it would break up your makeup--I hate it when they do this!! Thank you, Mel! 🥰 Lisa
Mine too 😭 And it seems to be being put into everything lately. I wish they hadn’t ruined such an amazing product 😓
Coconut oil is just bad for skin, period!!! Whoever was not affected by it maybe it will catch up with them later. The nature of coconut oil is just that it clog up pores, no but and if about it.
I’m so glad that you posted this with your honest opinion! I was able to snag one of the old versions before it sold out!
Everyone: Hey Chanel can you add more shades
Chanel: *changes formula but still only one shade*
Everyone: No! Bad Chanel!
Chanel: *surprised Pikachu face*
Came back to this video, I was wanting to this product so bad. I loved the original! So bummed the new one isn’t as good 😭
I’m so sad about it 😓 probably more than I should be lol. But they really messed it up
You’re so beautiful. I always love the tops you wear and extra love that you link it in your description box. Have a safe and healthy day! ❤️
Thank you!!! Hope you are safe and well!!! ❤️
Omg I love your eye shadow!! Amazing !!!!
You look amazing ♥️
I literally can’t find it anywhere now. I remember buying mine from Macy’s a while back. Glad I have the original. I’m so sad they changed it ☹️
Kate R I had mine from feel unique and now nowhere is available .. grrr sad
It's that stupid coconut oil that's always messing things up. It's a good ingredient but do companies not realize that it is an oil that has a solid and liquid form? Geeze. Not everyone keeps their house warm enough to keep that stuff melted all the time so it'll ball up or do funky things.
Or the fact that it can actually cause breakouts. This is so disappointing.
Great points! Though I stay far away from products with coconut oil in them as my skin hates it, I always break out or get itchy :( A lot of folks don't click with coconut oil in complexion products, so personally I wish they'd leave it out ;w; But I can't stand Chanel anyways for ethical and diversity reasons, this is just the cherry on top. It makes it all the worse that they're using lower cost ingredients but still charging the same prices.
Thanks so much Mel, for your honesty and explaining everything so clearly. You and Wayne are awesome to watch and your opinions are always worth paying attention to. Xxxxxxxxxx
I could cry 😭 I was really hoping they would keep the formula and expand the shade range. I wanted to try it and love it like everyone else. Thank for the video Mel!
I don't like coconut oil in face or hand products either😕 I find it very drying and the scent becomes bothersome. I wish companies would stop adding it to their products that stay on the skin and just save it for shampoos and hand soap, things that get washed off.😒
I’m going on 4 1/2 years for my original and it still great!! For me this is actually worse than discontinuing it because now people will buy it based on the others reputation so thank you for making this video… Hopefully it will save people some money! Never use the powder so that’s still good to know! Love you🤟🏻❤️❣️
Love you!!!
You look so pretty in this video! Eyes look amazing and that color eyeshadow is gorgeous on you. What a beautiful shade of violet! Thanks Mel! As always great review!❤️😉
I've been wanting to buy the original bronzer for years and now I won't be wasting my money thanks to your honesty 🙏🏼 thank you Mel
The change is most likely due to costly or unavailable ingredients. But lying about it is unacceptable.
Thank you Mel! I wanted to pick up the original this summer as I’m using more cream products. This new one will be a pass. Would love to hear your thoughts on other cream bronzers! ❤️
Thnx for testing this. I was SO going to buy it.. didn t know it was reformulated.
Wow! I had no idea they changed this product. I just repurchased thinking I bought the same as before. Thanks for the review !!
I have a DUPE!
I use the Chanel bronzer everyday and I’m so sad to see this change in formula!
came across a few weeks ago with the Kevin aucoin foundation balm and try it as a bronzer in one of the darker shades and the texture was so similar! Creamy, powdery velvet feeling 😍
And has tons of shades! I’m gonna give it a try.
This is timely as I was eyeing the Chanel bronzer I’ve heard so much about over the years. I think the coconut oil makes it oily and is breaking down the foundation. Good video. Stay well.
So glad you did this video. I got mine maybe two days ago hoping it would be as good as the original. I watched how you applied the product and tried to make it work for me. I wear Becca 24 Hr Foundation in Cashmere. I got this to work for me by setting that foundation and using the sigma creme blush/countour face brush. I did very little product at a time and made sure to stipple the product, not buff, per your recommendation. You have to baby this product. It took me over 10 minutes to apply the bronzer but it looked beautiful, stayed and I did not have any issues with it breaking up that foundation.
Thanks again Mel. Your gorgeous as ever!
Mel... the advert I just got was hilarious... you said "nooooooo" and the advert kicked in with the line... "I can feel it coming... something something about mating season" 😂
Theses companies need to be accountable for their lack of transparency. 😤
We need a tutorial on that stunning eye look please! 😍😍
Do you think this is similar to the new Tarte cream bronzer? And do you recommend this product to put on bare skin? At times I don’t wear foundation but I like to bronze my skin to look more put together.
Do you know when they reformulated? I got the Soleil Tan de Chanel bronzer in December for Christmas and I’m not sure if it’s the new or old formula. It says soleil tan de Chanel on the package
I just searched to see if there was some place that had the original a few weeks ago not knowing it was being reformulated and was surprised I couldn’t find it. I’d always wanted to try it, this is such a bummer! I would try the new one if no one else has called dibs since coconut doesn’t bother my skin. I saw some reviews of the new Tarte cream bronzer comparing it to the original Chanel but I haven’t looked at ingredients. Thanks Mel for trying it and I hope it didn’t mess too badly with your skin!
mkhendricks1981 I had it and sold it to use the Milk bronzer, which I like so so much better, don’t worry you’re really not missing out on much!
Rebeca Sandoval Thank you! The FOMO was real! 🤣🤣🤣 I actually ended up ordering the new Tarte since they have 30% off right now, so fingers crossed that it works well. If not I will definitely check out the Milk one!
With the coconut oil so high up, would this go rancid faster? That is my thought...
Dolores Trujillo typically coconut oil stays good for a very long time. But oils tend to break down makeup.. so it may not last once it’s on you.
Mel thank you so much for the detailed video! I was wondering for so long what was going to be new or different with the soleil de tan. I wish they had stuck to the original formula and just added more shades.
Hi Mel, I bought this on Tuesday, I used yesterday I today I wake up with a huge pimple on my cheek.. Do you thing is for the coconut oil
Looks like they're pivoting to being "natural". They've removed parabens but replaced it with BHT (which is still as bad).
Aaaaaaaah! This must be it.
Ha listen to dr Drey on parabens they’re completely safe it’s just the marketeers scaremongering and pushing paraben free product
Actually parabens are good, products we use on our face MUST have preservatives, and parabens are the safest ones
BHT is terrible 😞 My 2 cents is Chanel is going cheap
@@1rulenorules534 parabens are endocrine disruptors no?
I hope you’re returning that new bronzer! I don’t know why cosmetics companies always change a good thing, make it worse, make it more expensive and just think we’re going to lay down and take it. They need us, we don’t need them, we have a 1,000 other choices.
Wow I’m so glad I still have a full one of the old version. Just hate when companies chg things for the worst. Thank you for the very honest review!
YOU read my mind!!!! I was about to buy it and I’m so glad I waited..
Why would they put coconut oil in it?! Gah!!! It's so pore clogging and makes so many people break out!
I am so disappointed as I have wanted to order this for the longest time. When I went to order it has been unavailable or aka “sold out”
I love your videos Mel! Beautiful lady!
I always wanted to try this product but now I’m definitely not!! Waiting on those Fenty cream bronzers though!!
Is the Huda Tantour comparable at all??
I have never tried any Chanel product and would love to try this, you look beautiful as always
I love Chanel . But omg 😳 why can’t they add more shades ??? It’s like Charlotte tilbury and her powders . Why can’t the rest of us have a powder for our skin color ??? I’m so mad 😠 lol
Try Mented or CoverFX! (Charlotte is also wonderful, yes lol Still needs work with the diversity but they are putting some effort). I'm a person of color too and can't recommend these brands, their formulas, and range of options and colors enough! Plus they are CRUELTY-FREE 💜🐰
I've been wanting the Tan De Chanel for so long, so I finally purchased it from the Chanel website YESTERDAY......little did I know that it was actually the reformulated Les Beiges Healthy Glow. I'm so upset that they reformulated this without announcing it anywhere on the product listing. I'm planning on returning it as soon as it arrives, if they'll let me. Just my luck! If anyone has an original that they're willing to sell, let me know! 😩
Same here! Not even going to open it. Back it goes!
Hi Mel. I have the original one, I am med in color and find this too light for me. It’s like I have no bronzer on! So how can I use this which I would like to do. I know you are busy but appreciate any help.
@ Mel Thompson I absolutely love you!!! Is there any store or website selling the original???
The ingredients tell the story & it's the"clean beauty" story. Previously the product was based on evaporating silicones (first ingredients) & a petroleum wax (ozerkite). The ozerkite is what made the product melt & blend beautifully on the skin without streaking. Then the silicones evaporated & left the silica powder with tint. Nowadays consumers hate silicones & petroleum products, so those were replaced with "natural" sounding coconut oil & other ingredients to make it perform more like the old ozerkite. The silicones were moved lower in the list. Chanel is responding to the "clean" & more "natural" market here but that doesn't always give you decent products. Hydrogenated coconut oil smells like garbage; thus the heavier fragrance to cover that. The Lsncome foundie is silicone based, but there news bronzer is oil based... Silicone & oil don't mix. I think Chanel expects you to put this on UNDER your foundie now & blot.
Unacceptable from a high end brand like Chanel that they are lying 🤥 to their customers by bringing fake information ℹ️ = I totally agree with you ☹️😩
Lancome does this a lot. They changed the formula of the Teint Idole Ultra foundation several times and each time they insist nothing has changed 🙄
SaBr 417 Honestly I don’t get the point why cosmetics brands are changing their best sellers products 🧐😡🤷♀️
High end brands dont have $ to spend on influencer culture however for the price...Talc? Idiots will splurge for the double CCs.
Thanks Mel! Definitely passing on this and appreciate you taking one for the team by trying it 😨
Wow! The difference is staggering. I am so happy you reviewed this. I am hoping they are listening.
Omg I didn’t even know that the original got discontinued 😡 I’ve looked everywhere to see if I could find one I’m so upset!! 😞 why do these companies do this?? Shame on them!!! 😢
When's the new poudre universelle libre vs old review coming? Everything else is out of stock, I hope the new ones good. 🤞
Tanisha Mehrotra I bought the new powder and I think it’s pretty identical in look and feel to the original. I think they wanted to find a way to remove the talc since it’s controversial; it’s still extremely soft and finely milled and natural on skin...for reference I only apply a little bit of powder around my nose and forehead so not sure how it applies over the whole face
Hope this helps! Was relieved that the powder still looks just as natural on skin with more shades!
@@mashaaxe your msg is such a treat to this aching heart..I was regretting not keeping backups when I had the chance to. But I'm so so glad. If it's without talc, even better. Thanks a ton darling. 🥰
This is why I love your channel. The HONESTY. That is priceless. Thank you so much Mel. I hate Coconut Oil even if I have dry skin. The Channel beauty experts need to do their homework before giving false information. For being such a “Luxury Brand” they need to step it up with their beauty experts. About the powder, one thing I noticed is that in the ingredients for the new one there is no talc. I’m kind of happy about that since I have dry sensitive skin and I try avoiding talc.
Amen! lol
Ok, have to ask. I have blonde hair and I deal with makeup, bronzer and foundation in my hairline. Have never been able to find out how to remove. Please let me know!!!
Did no one at Chanel test this stuff before it came out?! It looks awful. And I see a huge amount of grey cast in the shade that won't be flattering on anyone :(
And when I finally found my holy grail bronzer... they discontinue it 🙈
Thank you for telling us about the powder. Going to order now!
I really liked the old formula, and I was looking forward on getting. I waited for this review hoping it was going to be the same but with more color variety. Thanks a lot for making this review.
What is the purple color on youre eyes? 💕
Jenny Sparrholm I want to know too gorgeous Mel!
Me too!!
❤️❤️❤️
Suspiciously not listed! Definitely looks like the color in ND tropic but I have that color and it’s difficult to work with so I’m hoping this is something new!!!
Please tell us. I love that eye color.
WHYYYYYYY do companies think that a great product needs to be changed or "improved"?!? 🤦🏻♀️ Makes me so dang mad. BITE BEAUTY...ahem... cough cough... And I love the ring on your pointer finger! ❤️
Is it possible to substitute the original Chanel cream bronzer with a similar foundation shade....like the Tom Ford cream foundation stick in Tawny or Sable perhaps?
Mel, do you have some alternatives that you can suggest to try? I am not so much concerned about the color selection, but really love cream bronzer.
There’s not really anything that has the same texture as this one. Huda tantour, i liked it. The hoola stick as well
Mel, you need the new sea bronzer in Seychelles from Tarte. I would say it’s a dupe
Wait so are you saying they changed it? And they won’t be using the old version anymore? ☹️☹️☹️
Unfortunately 😭😭😭😭
When I saw Chanel came out with a new travel size without coconut oil I immediately thought of Mel. I remember this video and how disappointed she was that they added coconut oil. I know she would be so excited they removed it and they finally made more shades. I miss you Mel!
I am sooooo sad. I’ve been trying to use up bronzers and save up so I could finally buy this product. Now I won’t ☹️. Does anyone know a dupe or a different cream bronzer that is similar?
Sonia Kasuk lighter shade is an exact dupe
I’ll take the new one 😂 I haven’t tried the original so I have nothing to compare to. Could you return the new one and get your money back?
They promised they would keep the formula the same 😭😭😭
I still have the original and loved it, going 5 years strong now! Actually, I'm interested to get my hands on the new one, as I have no issues with coconut oil and I tend to not wear any coverage anyways. It's a deeper shade as well--so would it be okay if I snag it from you? Thanks in advance 😜
Hey Mel I am darker so sadly this won't work out. I'm really wanting to try out the new fenty bronzers and cream blushes. I do have a question, how can a small TH-camr get out there? What would you recommend?
I'm so mad. I'll never have a chance to own the original. I asked the Nordstrom worker if the formula would change and she said no. What a lie
I don't even blam representatives anymore for something a company does. They don't tell agents anything and don't find out a lot of things until the product comes out and a customer complains about something. The company basically hands the agent to the customer to be chewed out.
Firefoxwaffles I didn’t own it either - was trying to use what I have and buy less - welp, there goes that plan
I don’t think it’s the Nordstrom reps fault but Chanel not sharing the right information 😓
@@melthompson2856 My comment was very aggressively angry, sorry about that, I'm not mad at the rep at all, my anger is entirely directed at Chanel for lying to me
Firefoxwaffles
Totally understandable, love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sadly, even the OG is too orange on me.
Hi, I’m near the end of my original one. Cannot find the original online anywhere (UK). By any chance can you recommend an alternative?
Feelunique.com or eBay
I’m so bummed!! I wish I would have grabbed a backup. Thank you for the info!!
Coconut oil makes it so I'll never be able to use this! It makes me break out so horribly. Ohmygoshhhh. It's so bad for my skin. How sad!
Really Chanel?!? If it’s not broke don’t “fix” it! This was my holy grail used it forever product and now I’ll never replenish it when I run out! Sad. 🤭😢
I would be interested. I have darker skin and have never been able to try the original. Since the new one is darker it looks dark enough to actually show up
I’m glad I managed to buy mine before all this happened. It’s such a nice product!
