Chanel Beauty Boutique

A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Chanel Beauty Boutique at Chadstone Shopping Centre, Melbourne, for a makeover. I was after a foundation which would hydrate my skin, after the harsh Winter climatic conditions had left my skin parched. After having read about Chanel foundations in magazines, watching countless YouTube videos and hearing really great things about Chanel foundations, I decided to try them out for myself!

Where else other than the Chanel Beauty Boutique would one go to try Chanel products? The customer service is second to none and I was treated like a princess.


The foundation that the sales assistant recommended for dry skin types was the Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup in #20 Clair. This is a fantastic natural looking foundation, with an SPF15, that once applied, lasts all day long. The skin is able to breathe and never feels tight or looks cakey. Perfect! 

For a high-end cosmetics brand, Chanel is at a very reasonable price point. After pricing some other high-end brands, Chanel came out the cheaper option, as opposed to Bobbi Brown or even Nars!

During my makeover, the sales assistant used Chanel skincare underneath the foundation, which included the Hydra Beauty Serum, made from the flowers of jasmine. I have ran out of this product, but will eventually be replenishing this as it does the job it's set out to do. A lot of products claim to hydrate, but once you try them, they don't live up to their claims. This hydrating serum actually works! It's amazing!  

I also tried Chanel's Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base, Powder Blush in #65 Espiegle, Precision Lip Definer in #38 Peche, and the Rouge Allure lipstick in #32 La Ravissante, from their new collection. I couldn't resist and purchased everything that was used for the makeover. I was that impressed! 


Along with my new purchases, I received added bonus freebies, such as a gorgeous black Chanel calendar, travel size foundations of my shade, sample perfumes; for myself, Chanel No 19 Poudre, and for my husband, Homme Allure. In addition, I received some skincare samples as well. This was all neatly packaged into a stylish Chanel box, wrapped in their signature black and white ribbon, and  placed into a Chanel shopping bag.

So the next time you're after some new skincare or makeup, check out Chanel Beauty Boutique. Believe me, you're be sure to be treated like a princess!!

Yours in style,

    Awww I'm glad they treated you nicely and made you feel special! I keep popping over to Chanel in a department store near me, dying to find something that I can treat myself to and now I think it might be a foundation!

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

Olga De Polga

Melbourne based designer Olga de Polga  is renowned for their use of colour and vibrant patterns. I really enjoy adding a pop of colour when I style outfits, so if you love colour, you are bound to find something fabulous. On my recent visit, I picked up two pairs of Lillian pants, a new style to ODP, in both pink and caramel. These colours go so well with other pieces in my wardrobe. Style tip: I will not add anything to my wardrobe if it doesn't go with other pieces, so I am very particular when choosing a new piece to add to my collection. The cords fit really well, sitting at mid-waist and fall at the perfect length. The corduroy fabric is soft and feels so cosy, so perfect for Winter here in Melbourne!  Have you visited Olga de Polga? If so, what are your favourite pieces? If you haven't been in store yet, make sure you do so soon, because some styles are selling out really fast. Have a great rest of the week! Yours in style, Suzi x  What I'm Wearing ODP Lillian pants

Grace Kelly: Style Icon

Some of you may know already that I recently went on a country  girls' getaway with my mother to Bendigo to view the Grace Kelly: A Style Icon exhibition. I am so thrilled that I did! It was simply amazing.  The package I purchased was the Country Girls' Getaway, which included one nights accomadation at the City Centre Motel (4 star), breakfast, in-house Grace Kelly Movies, plus 2 x tickets to the exhibition. The special pack I received upon check-in, which included a terrific shopping and dining guide, special discounts and maps. The exhibition was held at the Bendigo Art Gallery. The session was timed by the hour to prevent the influx of visitors, which I felt worked really well. There was plenty of room and I didn't feel like I needed to hurry up, so instead, took my time, taking in every detail. I could have spent all day looking at every single minute detail of each and every one of the stunning gowns that adorned this beau
