#luxurybeauty #newrelease #louisvuittonPlaying With LV Monogram Dune Eyeshadow Palette For the First Time 👀 Best Soft Luxury Eye Look?Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-17 | I'm having SO much fun creating different looks with this new Louis Vuitton eye palette!! It's soft and elegant and simply beautiful 😍
#luxurybeauty #louisvuitton #eyeshadowpaletteFinally! My Louis Vuitton DUNE Palette ARRIVED!!!! Ive Been Waiting FOREVER To Try This!! 😍Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-16 | Today I finally unboxed and tried on the Louis Vuitton Monogram Dune Eyeshadow Palette on my eyes and cheeks.
I pre-ordered this palette on 28 Aug and have been impatiently waiting ever since!!!
Also featuring the Monogram Dune lipstick 💄 #louisvuitton ##luxurybeauty #eyeshadowpaletteThe Chanel Makeup I’ll NEVER Stop Buying | My Forever ProductsAnna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-13 | I test a LOT of makeup... But these are the Chanel products I would buy again.
They’re not necessarily the newest, prettiest or most hyped Chanel releases. In fact, some of mine are scratched, messy, half-used and looking considerably less luxurious than when I bought them. 😂
But that’s exactly why they’re in this video.
These are the Chanel makeup products that have survived years of new releases coming into my collection - the ones I trust, reach for without thinking and, in many cases, have already repurchased again and again.
Today I’m putting together a full face using my 'forever' Chanel collection and sharing why each product has earned its place.
There are also two that Chanel won't actually let me buy again…
One was discontinued.
And one beautiful limited-edition highlighter I foolishly GAVE AWAY. 😭
PRODUCTS USED:
• Chanel Sublimage L’Essence de Teint in B12 • Chanel Ultra Le Teint in B12 • Chanel Sublimage Le Correcteur Yeux in B10 • Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre — Shade 10 • Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream — Soleil Tan Medium Bronze • Chanel Cream-to-Powder Blush — Rose Ardent • Chanel Rouge Noir Confidence Palette — used as highlighter • Chanel Les 4 Ombres — 354 Warm Memories • Chanel Eye Pencil — Noir • Le Volume de Chanel Mascara — Noir • Chanel Lip Pencil — Rose Beige • Chanel Rouge Coco Baume — 758 Blushing Pink
ALSO MENTIONED:
• Chanel Rêve de Camélia Illuminating Powder — the limited-edition highlighter I gave away and still regret! • Chanel Les 4 Ombres — 226 Tissé Rivoli • Chanel Rouge Coco Gloss — Rose Naïf — discontinued and I’m still not over it!
Now I want to know yours:
If you could keep just ONE Chanel makeup product forever, what would it be?
And if Chanel has discontinued one of your forever products — or you foolishly gave it away like I did — tell me about that too. 😂
If you enjoy luxury makeup, mature-skin foundation reviews, foundation wear tests and finding out which products are genuinely worth buying rather than simply chasing every new release, I’d love to have you subscribe.

#ChanelBeauty #LuxuryMakeup #MatureSkinIs Smooche Or Luxe Better on Mature Skin? I Tried 2 Viral Color Changing Foundations To Find Out 🤔Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-12 | Good, bad or OVERHYPED? These color changing foundations are all over social media so I tested them in a battle...
I Tried Smooche (one shade) and Luxe Foundation in 'Light'.
Which do you like better?
Full video and 12 hour wear test here:
#smooche #luxe #foundationI Tried The Luxe Color Changing Foundation to see if it really works... Better Than Smooche?Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-11 | After I tested Smooche and loved it, one of you told me I needed to try the *Luxe Color Changing Foundation because it might be even better.
* Not Sponsored - all my own honest opinions
#LuxeFoundation #foundationweartest #ColorChangingFoundationSmooche vs Luxe: 12 Hour Wear Test on Mature SkinAnna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-11 | Luxe vs Smooche — which colour-changing foundation actually looks better on mature skin AND survives a 12-hour wear test?
After I tested Smooche and loved it, one of you told me I needed to try the Luxe Colour Changing Foundation because it might be even better.
So I bought it.
And after trying Luxe a couple of times and really liking it, there was only one thing left to do: put Luxe and Smooche head-to-head, one on each side of my 53-year-old skin.
In this video, I'm comparing the colour match, coverage, texture, pores, fine lines, application and wear — under exactly the same conditions.
And after more than 12 hours of wear, including dinner with my family, there was a VERY clear winner for me.
Both foundations were purchased by me. This video is not sponsored.
For info, I got my Smooche from the official Smooche website and Luxe from Luxe Research (neither from Amazon).
I'd love to know what you see — which side do YOU prefer? And if you've tried either Luxe or Smooche, tell me how it worked on your skin.
Thanks so much for watching ❤️

#luxurybeauty #louisvuitton #eyeshadowI Tested The NEW Tower 28 Swipe Serum Foundation To See If Its Good For Mature Skin (It Is)Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-06 | #beautyover40 #Foundation #tower28 I Tried Tower 28 Swipe Serum Foundation in Shade 6P Enchinadas on my cool toned Skin.
I also tested it against the Tower 28 SunnyDays Tinted SPF to see which was better on my 53 yo Skin...

Lips • Louis Vuitton Crayon Lip Liner in Nude Rêverie • Louis Vuitton Monogram Infrarouge Satin LipstickNEW Tower 28 Foundation vs SunnyDays | Which Is Better on Mature Skin?Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-09-06 | Tower 28 just turned its Swipe Serum formula into a foundation... and as someone who absolutely LOVES the Swipe Serum Concealer, I had very high expectations.
But I also had a sample of Tower 28 SunnyDays Tinted SPF 30… so obviously, I had to put them head-to-head. 👀
In this video, I'm wearing the NEW Tower 28 Swipe Serum Foundation on one side of my 53-year-old skin and SunnyDays Tinted SPF 30 on the other to see which one actually looks and wears better.
We're comparing: ✨ Coverage ✨ Finish ✨ Pores and texture ✨ Fine lines ✨ Shade and oxidation ✨ How they look up close ✨ And how they wear throughout the day
I also test two shades of the new Swipe Serum Foundation — 4C Crystal Cove and 6P Enchinadas — because choosing my shade turned out to be a little more complicated than I expected!
And after wearing both sides for around 13 hours, I definitely had a preference… and it wasn't necessarily the one I expected.
If you have mature, combination or textured skin and you're trying to decide between the new Tower 28 foundation and SunnyDays, hopefully this comparison helps.
💬 Which side do YOU prefer — Swipe Serum Foundation or SunnyDays? Tell me in the comments because I'm very curious to see whether we agree!
And if you enjoy real-world foundation wear tests and luxury and new-release makeup on mature skin, I'd love to have you subscribe. ❤️

I walked out without them.
It wasn't just one thing. I didn't have the luxury shopping experience I was hoping for, the palette didn't excite me when I finally swatched it, and it made me stop and ask myself a question I probably need to ask more often:
Do I actually want this… or do I want it because it's new, limited edition and Chanel?
So today we're having a makeup-and-story-time while I create a smoky eye using an older Chanel favourite — LES 4 OMBRES in Tissé Rivoli — and compare what I already own with the new $210 AUD palette.
We also chat about some other new beauty launches I've decided NOT to buy, including the new Charlotte Tilbury powder and blushes, the Prada blushes I'm still considering…and whether I'm finally learning a little restraint. 😂
AND then, in possibly the most perfectly timed interruption ever, my doorbell rings…
…and part of my Louis Vuitton Beauty order arrives.
So we have an entirely unexpected mini unboxing and try-on of two pieces from the new Louis Vuitton Beauty collection — including Galactic Veil and Monogram Infrarouge.
Apparently I'm not done buying luxury makeup. I just want to be excited by it. 😂
I'd love to know what you think:
Are you picking up Chanel The New Smoky?
And when it comes to luxury beauty, how much does the actual shopping experience matter to you?
Thanks so much for watching and spending some time with me. ❤️

While buying my Queen of Silk, I spotted this gorgeous little Creed travel case and couldn't resist.
The packaging. The tiny refillable atomiser.
The whole experience. 🤍
And then the sales associate offered to fill it for me… WITH CARMINA - the other Creed fragrance I almost bought. 😂
So Queen of Silk got the full bottle, but Carmina came home with me too.
Honestly, Creed… you got me!
Would you have been able to resist this?
#Creed #Carmina #PerfumeUnboxingIs Creed Queen of Silk The Best Luxury Fragrance? I did A Battle & Wear Test Against Carmina 👀Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-08-23 | I finally did it… 💜
I went into Creed planning to buy ONE perfume and came home with this beautiful 75ml bottle of Queen of Silk — complete with my name engraved on it.
It's warm, rich, sensual and unlike anything else in my collection.
But there was one tiny problem… I also fell in love with Carmina. 😅
So did I actually choose the right Creed?
I wore Queen of Silk and Carmina side by side for 13 HOURS to find out.
✨ Watch the full Queen of Silk vs Carmina wear test on my channel.
Which would you choose — Queen of Silk or Carmina?
#Creed #QueenOfSilk #PerfumeUnboxing #ShortsCreed Queen of Silk vs Carmina: I Wore Both for 13 HoursAnna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-08-23 | I went into Creed planning to buy ONE perfume… and walked out wondering whether I'd chosen the right one. 😅
My final two were Creed Queen of Silk and Carmina — two beautiful fragrances that I love for completely different reasons.
After one of the best fragrance shopping experiences I've ever had, I chose a 75ml bottle of Queen of Silk (and even had it engraved with my name!). But I couldn't quite leave Carmina behind, so I also came home with a Creed travel case filled with it 😆
And ever since, I've wondered: did I choose the right Creed for my full bottle?
So today I'm putting Creed Queen of Silk vs Carmina to a proper real-world wear test.
I'm wearing them side by side for more than 13 hours and comparing how they develop, projection, longevity, which one I notice throughout the day — and most importantly, which one I actually want to keep wearing.
I even took them to my granddaughter's first birthday and recruited the family for their opinions… although that experiment didn't go quite according to plan. 😂
I'm definitely not a fragrance expert. I'm learning as I go and discovering what I actually love — and apparently I love warm, yummy, sensual fragrances!
Some of my favourites include Bianco Latte and YSL Libre Intense.
So I'd LOVE your help: ✨ Are you Team Queen of Silk or Team Carmina? ✨ Have you tried Creed Eladaria? ✨ What perfume should I try next based on the fragrances I love?
Please enable me in the comments. Even if my bank account may have other ideas. 😂

#Creed #QueenOfSilk #CarminaNEW Louis Vuitton Beauté Monogram Dune & Infrarouge... I Pre-Ordered 2 (But Now I Want MORE) 😬Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-08-16 | Louis Vuitton Beauty has MORE new makeup coming on August 27 — and I’ve already pre-ordered two pieces… but now the new swatches have me questioning my decisions! 😅
I’ve ordered the Monogram Infrarouge eyeshadow palette and Monogram Dune lipstick, but after seeing more of the collection — including brand new swatches — I’m seriously contemplating another palette.
In this video we're taking a proper look at the upcoming Louis Vuitton Beauty collection, including the different limited-edition palette versions I've seen, the new lip products, what I've ordered, what I'm skipping (for now!) and the products that are still tempting me.
And yes… we're talking about the price.
Louis Vuitton Beauty is incredibly expensive, and I completely understand why some people would never spend this much on makeup. But I also wanted to share why luxury beauty has value for me - and why I don't think any of us need to justify the things that bring us joy, provided they're within our means.
✨ ON MY PRE-ORDER • Monogram Infrarouge Eyeshadow Palette • Monogram Dune Lipstick
🤔 STILL TEMPTING ME • Monogram Dune Eyeshadow Palette • Beige Memento in the limited-edition packaging • Monogram Infrarouge Lipstick
👀 WAITING TO SEE • The Black or Clear Sparkly Balms
A huge thank you to @Courtney_B_Luxe for allowing us to see the gorgeous new swatches featured in my update, and to Jean from @Criticalbeauty411 for sharing her knowledge about the wider collection.
Please tell me what YOU would do: Monogram Dune, Beige Memento… or NEITHER? 😂
And are you planning to pick up anything from the new Louis Vuitton Beauty release, or is the price simply too much for you? All opinions are welcome - I genuinely want to hear both sides.
Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

#hermesbeauty #luxurybeauty #foundationHermès vs Prada Foundation Battle: Which Looks Better After 12 Hours? Holy Grail?!?Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-07-26 | I’ve called the Hermès Plein Air Luminous Matte Skincare Foundation my favourite foundation - but after rediscovering the Prada Reveal Foundation, I genuinely wasn’t sure anymore.
So today, I’m finally putting them head-to-head.
I apply Hermès to one side of my face and Prada to the other, using the same skincare, concealer, powder, bronzer and blush on both sides. Then I wear them for more than 12 hours to compare their coverage, finish, smoothing effect, texture and longevity.
At first, the two foundations look really similar. But by the end of the day, one side is noticeably smoother, more perfected and almost completely flawless - and everyone I ask independently chooses the same winner.

#beautyover50 #foundationreview #makeupBrush vs Sponge | Smooche Color Changing Foundation on Mature Skin | Review & 8-hour Wear TestAnna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-07-19 | Last time I reviewed the Smooche Colour Changing Foundation, it completely surprised me and became one of the biggest videos on my channel.
But so many of you asked the same question: Do you actually need the official Smooche brush and sponge?
So I bought them.
In this video I'm comparing: ✔️ Finger application ✔️ Official Smooche Sponge ✔️ Official Smooche Brush
I'll compare the finish, coverage, product usage and then do an 8-hour wear test on my 53-year-old skin to see whether these accessories actually improve the foundation—or whether they're an unnecessary extra purchase.
If I can save you some money, I will. If they're worth buying... I'll tell you that too.
UPDATE Sept 2026: I found another viral colour changing foundation so I compared them here - Luxe vs Smooche (I was shocked!): youtu.be/id2DDZZZVPQ?si=3e-DhjTMqxMW36F0
I'd love to know how you apply your foundation. Brush? Sponge? Or fingers?

My Final Thoughts On The 5 Louis Vuitton Lip Liners I Tested...Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-07-12 | #louisvuitton #luxurybeauty #liplinerWrong Lisa Eldridge Order 😳 (But Im Not Mad About It)Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-07-12 | I was expecting one thing from my Lisa Eldridge order... and received something completely different!
In today's video I'm sharing a very unexpected unboxing experience after my Lisa Eldridge x Marilyn Monroe Collection order arrived with products I didn't actually purchase. Instead of the Lisa Eldridge x Marilyn Monroe highlighter and lip products I was expecting, I ended up with a mystery box of beautiful Lisa Eldridge makeup that I might never have tried otherwise.
Join me as I swatch and demo: ✨ Rouge Experience Lipstick in Amagansett ✨ Velveteen Liquid Lip Colour in Strawberry Blonde ✨ Gloss Embrace in Blush ✨ Balm Embrace Melting Lip Colour in Epanoui
I'll also compare these shades to some of my favourite Chanel reds and share my thoughts on the formulas, colours, wear time and whether these shades work for someone who is still learning to wear red lipstick.
And a special shout out to the Lisa Eldridge customer service team, who were absolutely wonderful throughout the whole experience.

#luxurybeauty #louisvuitton #liplinerNew Louis Vuitton Lip Liners Review | 5 Shades + Lip Swatches + Combos | Worth It?Anna Louise | Mature Makeup2026-07-04 | Louis Vuitton has finally launched LV Crayon lip liners... and I couldn't resist.
At $96 AUD each, these are the most expensive lip liners I've ever purchased.
In this video I'm reviewing five of the ten shades, showing hand swatches, lip swatches and pairing each one with Louis Vuitton lipsticks and lip baumes to help you decide which shades are worth buying.
We'll also answer the big question...
Are Louis Vuitton lip liners actually worth the price?
Paired with: Kiss the Sky, Beige Machina, Rose Eugenie, Passport to Paris, Dune Explorer, Monogram Rouge Satin Lipsticks; and Tender Bliss Baume.
I share my favourite everyday combo, the shade that surprised me most, and the ones I probably wouldn't repurchase.

Then I saw a photo of myself from a wedding.
For the first time in years, I didn't recognise the person looking back at me.
That photo led me to explore weight loss medication, food noise, hunger, menopause and my relationship with food in a way I wasn't expecting.
In this video I'm sharing my personal experience using Mounjaro, losing 17kg, maintaining my weight loss, and what surprised me most about the process.
This is not medical advice and I'm not recommending anything to anyone. I'm simply sharing my own experience in the hope that it might help someone else feel a little less alone.
💄 Lipstick featured: Louis Vuitton Beauty – Kiss The Sky
