Hi!

Welcome to WTF Bride’s wedding blog, based in Vancouver, B.C. Navigating the wedding world is full of “WTF?!” moments, from the financially to the emotionally draining. If you are an overwhelmed bride, you’ll find a friend in me. We got this, babe! Hope you have a nice stay!

WTF, Free Chanel Makeup and Skincare! (For Moms And Everyone Else On Your ‘Nice List’)

WTF, Free Chanel Makeup and Skincare! (For Moms And Everyone Else On Your ‘Nice List’)

Move over Santa, because I have my own ‘Nice List’!

And it’s dwindling rapidly with a sleep-regressing baby and dealings with adults who are the living embodiment of Blink-182’s “What’s my age again?”

Let me quote,Nobody likes you when… you still act like you're in freshman year.”

I mean, who needs sleep as a mom to an 8-month-old when you have the luxury of catering to this breed of Baby Adults and their demands, opinions, and judgments, right?

If you’re in a situation like mine, I feel sorry for us both. Alas, if we’re going to maneuver around energy vampires this holiday season, at least we’re going to look damn good doing so - In Chanel, and with a full wallet too.

You’re going to take a few deep breaths and put those well-meaning and clueless comments in your mind’s lockbox or better yet, indulge the pyromaniac in you and figuratively set them on fire. You didn’t sire these vampires; they sired themselves, their problems, and their sea of verbal vomit.

Now leave them be, and go buy groceries. Pay with your President's Choice Financial Mastercard and accumulate points for free Chanel cosmetics!

There will be bunches of sour grapes telling me that redeeming points doesn’t make the Chanel makeup and skincare free. If you’re not taking advantage of bonus points and bonus redemption events - you’ve clearly missed the point of free.

See what I did there?

Redeem your points at select Shoppers Drug Mart for your Chanel goodies. The Bonus Redemption event is on now, from December 15 - 20, and at select times during the year (in case you miss this one).
Get up to $65 off your purchase when you redeem 50,000 points - extra $15 in value.
Get up to $140 off when you redeem 100,000 points - extra $40 in value.
Get up to $300 off when you redeem 200,000 points! Okay, $100 in value. How do you beat that?

If there's one thing I cherish more than a full night's rest, it's the Holi-date Edition of The Redemption Event with WTF Hubby. We get dressed up, grab dinner, and I end up going home with:

My Chanel Favourites

Chanel Le Blanc Illuminating Base, Chanel Hydra Beauty Camellia Water Cream, Chanel Les Beiges Tint, Chanel Baume Essentiel in Dragee

Tired of slathering on heavy creams that weigh you down? Say hello to a lightweight formula that won't feel like an extra layer of cake on your face. This water cream introduces hydration deep into your skin, leaving it plump, radiant (gorgeous in sunlight!), and oh-so-happy. It also doubles as a great makeup base; my makeup just glides on like a dream.

I’ve gone through more than ten bottles of Water Fresh Tint!

This is my holy grail for everyday, natural-looking coverage. With its sheer coverage, this water-light foundation effortlessly enhances your skin. Just a single drop goes a long way. It goes on beautifully, whether you use a brush, a Beautyblender, or your fingertips (the go-to mom method). Those little droplets of color burst as you buff them into your skin, creating a veil of dewy glow that makes your complexion look fresh and undeniably healthy. It's worth every drop!

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder, Chanel Le Vernis in 113 Faussaire, Chanel La Creme Main Texture Riche

Are your hands crying out for some TLC? Treat yourself to Chanel La Creme Main, the hand pampering experience of the winter. You deserve nothing but the best, which is why this hand cream is the epitome of high quality. Its silken texture absorbs effortlessly, leaving absolutely no residue behind. Say goodbye to hand cream stickiness, because who has wants that? It’s also aesthetic goals on your vanity with its iconic shape.

If youthful bounce lived in a glass jar, it would be Le Lift Creme. It nips those pesky wrinkles and fine lines that seem to appear out of nowhere with a retinoid-like, skin-firming technology. This cream applies smooth and luxurious, effortlessly melting into your skin, and provides an indulgent experience that makes you feel like royalty. It’s no wonder I love it.

I’ve used more than half the bottle of Chanel Gabrielle Hair Mist, already, because it’s a quick fix for those less-than-fresh hair days! Seeking a zesty pick-me-up? With just a spritz, you’ll transform your locks from drab to fab. The Gabrielle Hair Mist has notes of jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and the irresistible Grasse tuberose. It'll have you turning heads, sweeping people off their feet, and maybe even attracting woodland creatures (hey, it could happen). A single spritz is all you need! So, take heed and resist the temptation to drown yourself in this enchanting mist.

The epitome of pampering for the time-starved, modern woman! Indulge your senses, even when you're rushing through your daily routine. With just a bit of this foaming shower gel, it transforms into a luscious cloud of fragrant bubbles, enveloping your skin in a gentle, cleansing embrace. Leave the world behind, even if it's just for a few stolen moments.

My Honourable Mentions

Are you tired of feeling like a mere mortal when you could be glowing like a goddess? Just a few drops of this pink, pearlescent elixir added to your everyday moisturizer or foundation, and you can be! Using Chanel Le Blanc Rosy Light Drops may result in compliments, envy, and the urge to spontaneously break into song and dance.

Hello glossy, plumped-up pout! I’m not typically a lipgloss gal because of that dreaded stickiness, but this gloss is the ultimate merger of luxury, moisture, and a touch of je ne sais quoi. There's a shade for every occasion, every mood, and every WTF Bride out there.

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Gel Touch Foundation

This is the secret for flawless summer skin. This foundation is your ticket to a glowing complexion. It’s lightweight and breathes with your skin, so it won't clog your pores. It’s also refillable, so you can keep your skin looking fabulous and the environment will thank you.

And did I mention it's perfect for those touch-ups on the go? This foundation comes with its own mirror and applicator. The applicator is separated from the foundation by a plastic divider, saving germaphobes like me from having a meltdown.

When city girl life gives you pollution, you fight back with flawless skin! This powerhouse mask contains purifying French clay, pumped up with the superhero combo of Vitamin C and E. It has a soft cream texture that dries without that awful sensation of tightness. I use this once a week for a much-needed beauty break and to get those pores detoxified.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet

The question was never whether you could get Chanel Beauty products for free, it was how!
