I was thinking it is quite possible the pricing was in another currency and someone mistook it for USD. I really, really hope so!

Hey dear - I was hoping you would be here today

I just got back from swatching the Chanel liquid es. The only one that I really liked was the Sand. Which is a very nice medium beige. The white was too stark white & the lt pink too pink maybe for layering. I'll get the Sand as I originally thought I would. Delta is a nice shade too - a very very light beige slight gold tint to it.

Thanks for the links..gonna go look at them now.

I agree, the descriptions make everything sound very enticing. Thanks very much for the comments on the liquid e/s. I may order Sand this week as well. I'm still waiting on a package that was originally shipped out on 10/28 and was misrouted by UPS to Colorado. I was trying to be patient but as of tonight I see it's still supposedly in Colorado. Grrrr. If it doesn't change by tomorrow morning I guess I'll be calling Chanel (again). They were of no help when the mistake first occurred so I'm not sure how much use it will be to call again, but I've kind of had it now.

Boy is supposed to come out with the spring collection in January. The rest of the new finish will be released in April.

Not surprised, but that is terribly frustrating. My order should be here tomorrow

Seems as though UPS has had its share of mishaps & delays for me lately. I think you will like Sand - very pretty wearable shade. I may end up with Delta too - later. It was still on my hand when I got home, so I put this tan, peachy slight shimmery pigment over it - it turned out Gorgeous.

OMG, I'm loving the spring info...i feel like i'm not on Specktra nearly as much as I used to be, maybe still not used to the new format.

Anyhow, I'm thinking the quint, the new blush, all nail polishes and the rosey red lipstick for me

Well I hope you make out better than I did this time. Mine was "Out for Delivery" last Monday, then last Tuesday, and then Tuesday night it turned out it was really in Colorado! And UPS won't do a darn thing but put it on a train, they are not open to expediting the shipping to make up for their mistake at all. That's the part I find frustrating. There will always be mistakes, I understand that, but you'd think they'd try to be helpful to make up for it and get it back to you quicker. The answer was no, they can't change the *original* shipping speed (standard).

Uhhh...I think they already did!

I'd like to see Delta irl. Would you describe it as gold? Is it super shimmery? Did you see they supposedly used it here on Anne Hathaway (not that we can see the eyes very well, lol)?

So they put it on the slow train - I see

yep, I don't see it there on her eyes. Yes, I felt that it seemed a lil more shimmery but all the lighter shades are. The more you sheer them out though the softer it gets. Its a very pale tan/beige but has a slight gold iridescence to it for sure. I am amazed at how well the staying power is with these. I thought I had rubbed it off, but it was still there hours later when I got home.

Carmin looks almost pink in the swatches on NM and Saks, at least on my monitor. I wonder what it looks like irl? I sense a 1.5 hour trip to the mall coming on.

For sure - & I'm thinking - I just came from my swatch trip

I swear it never ends. I was thinking it was a darker deep red. What about the ls Rivoli?
I remember someone here said they had it. Those colors looked good on all the models

I like Sand, but because I have Atoll and they are very close, I passed Sand.

This is so coincidental - I was looking at this yesterday too! I have added Rivoili in my list and I also want to check out Carmin at the counter. The pic even make me want to get Rouge Fatale, which I convinced myself to pass.

Yes, I have Rivoli. I haven't worn it since I got it, lol, but that's just because I don't wear reds that often. I did like it alot when I tried it on arrival. Cafemakeup did a good review of it:

I also posted a comparison pic of some reds including Rivoli awhile ago. I can't get it to post within the thread here, but here's the link to it on MUA.

Thanks - it looks so beautiful! I love both swatches - good thing because I ordered Rivoli & Imagination ls last night before I read this this morning

I can see where Carmin is the perfect liner now.
