Chanel Spring 2011

[Susanne]

^^^^^ Enjoy!!

I know I am really late to this discussion - but I look forward to get Black Pearl as well

Spring 2011 collection is on Chanel.com now.. Ouch

 

[Bonitinha]

Enjoy your loot Meg! It is so hard to narrow it down, isn't it? I wished they sold the greenish black color (from the quad) as a single. I keep telling myself it looks enough like MAC Birds and Berries that I don't need it. We'll see if that holds

I just thought I'd post this info again for people concerned about rushing to get LE items. Most of the items from this collection appear to be NOT Limited Edition so that is making me feel safer waiting for some swatches this time. The only LE item I'm really interested in is the quint which looks really frosty in the limited pics out there so I'm torn on it. I can't wait to see more pics of it.

Interesting.....surely Black Pearl must be LE and maybe they just neglected to note it in the promo info right????

On the US Chanel web site they're listing all of the lip products, the polishes, powder and the quint as LE:

Who ever knows with Chanel? I think sometimes they change their mind on the fly too.

Actually, even though it shows them as LE on the Spring 2011 collection page, when you click through to the product color options themselves, the only things listed as LE are:
- the Ombres Perlees quint
- the Rouge Double Intensite
- the Poudre Universelle Compacte

Everything else (RCs, RAs, the quad, the eye and lip liners, the polishes, and the JC) doesn't have the "Limited Edition" label popping up when you click on the individual colors.

Can't wait to see swatches soon! Enjoy your purchases, ladies!

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

I hope that's right though! I really do want to give Jersey Rose and Black Pearl a try, but I wanted to get my absolute faves from this collection first (quint + JC).

 

[Winthrop44]

It is wierd that they list the 2 RA Extrait de glosses as LE, so hopefully that collection page is wrong. I'd be happy if they at least had better swatches on the site, never mind being correct on what is and isn't LE! lol I'm afraid to order Jersey Rose because its swatch looks so bright in comparison to, say, Mademoiselle....but does that have any meaning in reality?

 

[mrslid]

Ya the swatches online are comical. I find it really funny that all the original swatches of the RCs are all dark and look the same and then any newer release ones are more true to colour. For someone not knowing what they really look like IRL it would be a very ODD looking collection going by those pics!

I ordered blush yesterday and it's already shipped. Can't wait to try it!! I will post swatches as soon as i get it

 

[Bonitinha]

I agree with the online swatches -- useless! When the Rouge Coco line came out -- the swatches were all brown, brown and more brown. What in the world??
I did see a close up pic of the tube of Jersey Rose somewhere and it didn't look too bright -- but I'm anxious to know how it looks on!

 

[elegant-one]

Holy Cow my blush & quad shipped & will be here tomorrow already...JR will prolly ship today!!! SO that means pictures for all of you soon

I feel that I was quite conservative in my ordering (go ahead & snicker I don't care)

A blush, quad & lippie - I covered all bases.

 

[elegant-one]

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??

Hahaha..yep. My abs would be named workmeout! For some strange reason, we end up watching that show...



Oh, Winthrop - I was doing the exact same thing - trying to compare the color intensity of those stupid little color squares & swatches.

like that'll even work.

 

[Bonitinha]

Wow, Elegant, you have some kind of hook up with Chanel! It always takes 4 business days for it to get to me. I will have to wait it out (what did people do before online shopping??)

I saw a pic of Victoria Beckham wearing the peach polish -- it was really pretty. Le sigh -- I haven't ventured into the polishes yet, because I am afraid of what will happen if I do!!

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Oh really? Do you have a link?

Just got off the phone with Chanel. In the promo image the model is wearing of course the quint and the JC, and the lipstick is Peregrina. She said Jersey Rose is muted and more pink, not bright. Nakkar is definitely raspberry, not coral.

Have we seen these nail swatches before? I don't remember.

well, it didn't quote the rest of your post...

Very cool on Jersey Rose! I remember that pic only because I giggled....looked like she is clawing her way out of that picture

Hi Dearest Susanne

 

[stv578]

Elegant, the other lipstick I want is the peach colour, don't know the name! I really don't have many peach shades, all of them are more pinky peach, so I'm gonna give it a try!

Winthrop, thanks for the nail swatches! They all look pretty, Pearl Drop seems to have a hint of gold to it? But I think I'll get the peach polish, it'll probably look nice with two or three coats.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ I like the looks of the peach polish too, esp the bottle pic. Pearl drop is supposed to have gold in it from what I've read.The peach lipstick is Peregrina, the one in the promo. I'm thinking about that one too. Here's the chart Karla posted way back:
