Ok, I thought it was the peach one. Isn't Coquette supposed to be Pink? There are different descriptions of them at different links. So, then maybe I'll get Jersey Rose which is supposed to be a pink that flatters everyone ;) Or for Nora - Jersey Shore

thats all I can think of when I see Jersey Rose now

Yep, people were surprised it was Coquette in the video. She did use the new peach liner so that may have contributed? But it's kind of like how the one glossimer looks coral in almost all pics and the descriptions I've seen say raspberry. I dunno...I called my closest Nordies and they said they were supposed to get the collection last week but it was delayed and they're expecting it any day now.



If you have not seen this already, the lovely Sam from Pixiwoo (love them!) just uploaded a video featuring two products which I believe are from the Spring collex: Le Crayon Levres in Peche and Rouge Allure in Coquette http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h71HJTSDEIE&feature=youtu.be&a

Coquette is described as a 'rose' but in the tube it looks more peach/coral to me? Or am I blind? =D. Either way, I'm excited!

Elegant -- reading that you ordered that blush and quad got me so in the mood for more Chanel! I just ordered Espiegle blush and Jersey Rose l/s. I figure they have free returns, so if it doesn't work -- no biggie.

I really wanted to order Rose Dust blush, but didn't get it this time. I bought this top from Ann Taylor a while ago (http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=28475&N=1200021&pCategoryId=3940&categoryId=201&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_201&loc=TN&gridSize=sm&showAll=true&defaultColor=Red%20Laquer&defaultSizeType=Petite) in the Lotus Pink color -- and have been thinking the Rose Dust blush would be a perfect match. And I wanted that darn top in other colors, but almost all of the sizes are sold out, grrrr.

Maybe next time I'll get the other blush (and who knows what else!! haha)

How bad of me!

Oh Michelle, that blouse is really really pretty - I'm sure that it is beautiful on you! I loved the red one too.

I think I am going to order Jersey Rose now too ;) The lippies are LE & the blush is not. It stinks that no one has anything to show us. Chanel itself should have actual swatches or better pictures of the actual item. So do I have this right - Jersey Rose is supposed to be the shade that is the perfect pink for everyone?

I just got so excited hearing about your order, I couldn't contain myself! LOL
It did say that Jersey Rose is supposed to be a flattering shade of pink for everyone. So we should be covered, right?? I am hoping it is a neutral pink. We shall see!
I can't wait to hear what you think about the quad -- you will be busting out some HOT smokey eyes!!

My resolve pretty much crumbled. The promo ad kept staring me in the face and I couldn't resist. I ordered the Ombres Perlees quint, plus Espiegle JC.

I decided it was okay if I forfeit my MAC Cham Pale and Guerlain Spring haul (which wasn't much anyway). The 2-month spending ban starts now!!

The lipsticks are LE?! In the promo sheet with the list of all the items, there's no asterisk beside them which I thought denoted 'permanent'? Then again, Chanel can be fickle ^_^. If they are LE, then I'd better get them as soon as they launch!

The new stuff was a nice break for me. After tearing down old wallpaper - I just spent days painting our bathroom. uggh bathrooms are never an easy place to paint in. I was standing on the toilet, practically hanging from the top of the shower & standing on top of the sink just to paint.(thought ya'll might enjoy that visual) And I HATE painting. We replaced the lights, towel bar, knobs & I also repainted the cabinets. Then I wanted the 3 fan/light switches replaced. I had to have a dimmer too (love dimmers on all my light switches) ahh, I thought hubbs was going to tell me no more redecorating after he spent 3 hours rewiring it all

but now he has to replace the flooring & toilet which has been sitting here forever

Sooooo funny to read. But I agree, not buying much if anything MAC. Merry Christmas to us ;) I just hope we love what we did get.

How exciting for you guys!! I hope your orders come quick and you all post swatches!!! Maybe I'll get a call from my Macy's SA soon ;-) I can't wait. I don't think I have the funds to go too crazy with the collection yet. I was happy to see most items are permanent.

I'm going to pass on that blush for now, and just get the quint, liner and polishes. I'll hit up my closest Chanel counter and check out Espiegle in person.

You are all getting me excited for this collection! I'm guessing it'll be another two or three weeks for us!

Elegant, I can't wait to hear what you think of the quad and the blush!

A while back Chanel offered free next day shipping -- I wish they had that going on right now. I get so impatient LOL.

Free next day shipping would be nice, but it only takes Chanel a couple of days to get to me, anyway. Besides, if you order nail polish, you can't get the free next day due to shipping restrictions.

I decided to hold off on the liner...things haven't been disappearing as fast from Chanel, so it's a risk I'm willing to take. If it's still around in January, I'll bite.

Yep, Jersey Shore Rose is on my list too! I have to really choose my items carefully though, so I may only pick up one polish, probably the peach one, two lipsticks, blush and quad. If this was a MAC haul, my wish list would be very reasonable, but it's Chanel, and this would be considered a huge haul for me!

We will all have to start sporting orangey spray tans to go with our Jersey Shore Rose lipstick!!

And maybe we should name our abs while we are at it??

Oh man........I can't decide and free shipping ends tomorrow! I'm in semi-panic mode loading my cart with everything and unloading it 3 minutes later. Embarrassing, lol.

Ok, working it out in my head through specktra posting: The NP has been super hyped, and I think has the highest chance of selling out first. I'll get Black Pearl now for sure. I have no idea what the peach one looks like so I need to hold off on that for now. I'm iffy about the white pearl color so I need to see that in person (if it's too sheer or mega-frosty I'm out). I've been crazy about the blush since we first heard about it, so that must come home right away! I want 4 lipsticks (lol) but I'm sure I don't need all 4 of those, so I'll hold off for now and wait for swatches. Nakkar glossimer looks and sounds gorgeous...I want that, right now (in the cart it goes!). I've been really let down by the quint in recent swatches, so that will have to wait until I can see it in person (or see more swatches). Passing on the quad as I only want it for 1 color and that just won't cut it. That leaves the face powder, which I really think I want but I'm unsure. I'll have to play with that in person to see if it works for my skin.

After all of that rambling, I placed my order for Black Pearl, Espiegle, and Nakkar...can't wait!
