I think Chanel costs a lot less in Europe. Anyway, this product is fantastic (was in Allure Feb issue I think). Its a sheer white, cream-gel texture. It goes on sheer, leaves skin silky smooth, luminous, glowing, and semi-matte. I use this as a makeup base, it really helps the foundation to go on smoothly. It smells lovely too. Comes in a huge 30gram tub!! The size of a CD! Its huge, but all you need is a little all over your face. I love this product.
