Sooo, I went to Chanel just now, & they still had the Free Overnight shipping....so I ordered Gris el

It was weird because they changed the link for the shipping from $100 - $125 for complimentary shipping, however the 0 overnight shipping was still able to be selected - so I did

I've decided I really do want Gris Scintillant liner, but I'm still going to have to wait until January to get it. I plan on doing a Chanel liner haul for it and a couple others. I really like their liners and have no trouble with fading or smudging. They last all day on me!
Did you like the Kitty stocking stuff

I thought of you when I put it up.

Well, I hope I do like the liner when I get it. I thought it would be pretty even over a reg. grey, black or blue liner too.

Hope you have a Wonderful & Happy Christmas!!!

Thank you all for the wonderful reviews, links, and pics!! My intention was to buy only what I loved, but I loved almost all of it and ended up placing four orders. That free shipping gets me every time, plus I figured it was my last chance to be bad before my New Year's Resolution to be good (about makeup purchases that is). Anyway, I ended up getting:

Espiegle blush, Peregrina and two Black Pearls
Jersey Rose and Aragonite (absolutely gorgeous together)
the quad and Nakkar
Coquette

Still waiting on two packages. The blush is so pretty but lighter than I expected. It didn't show up as well as I thought it would on my NW-20/25 complexion, but I absolutely love the color. I added a touch of Tweed Fuschia just to the apples of my cheeks and it was perfect. I immediately thought "backup" when I saw Peregrina until Jersey Rose arrived. Peregrina is pretty much peach while Jersey Rose has a touch of pink in it. Looking forward to the quad and Nakkar. I didn't get the quint because it looks too frosty in most of the swatches I've seen. But I'll try it out once it arrives at our local counter. I wasn't going to get the RAs, but I've heard Coquette has some coral in it, which I love!

I do feel guilty for one thing: I know my SA will call soon saying the collection is in, but I've already bought it online. Free shipping and samples with no tax is just too hard to resist. Do the rest of you go feel any loyalty to your SA, if you have one? I know I'll go to the counter to swatch the quint and look at the other two n/p, but I'll buy far less than I normally would have if this hadn't shown up online first.

I giggled when I saw it! I wish we had stockings for our kitties. This year, they're getting a new kitty bed. The one they have now is too small for our big guy, and definitely too small when our little guy wants to cuddle in it with the big guy.

That made me laugh - as I relate.

Yes! I feel the same way - I had 2 of my ladies call me 1 from Saks & 1 from Macys. But, like you Free Ship No Tax & its early & freebie Chanel samples & gorgeous packaging!

Enjoy your goodies!!!

Oh my, the swatches keep pouring in! So far then, I'm liking the looks of everything I've decided, and now I also want the grey liner! It looks like what I wanted BB's Graphite Shimmer ink to look like (I realize one's a pencil and the other a gel), but the BB liner basically looks black once on! Elegant, you'll have to report back once you get it and let me know if the shimmer actually shows up a bit!

I'm torn now, there are a few things I want from MAC with the Cham-whatever collection. I was considering the quad, Vintage Selection pp and the bronze-y pink highlighter. But I think I want the Chanel goodies more, aaahh!

The Christmas gifts are too cute, elegant!

I want to see swatches of Peregrina and Chintz. Are they close?

Oh my, after seeing all of the swatches that popped up on blogs today, I MUST have Jersey Rose. It is gorgeous!! Do we have a for-sure answer as to whether these lippies are permanent?

If I remember correctly all the skin products are permanent, Karla has a copy of the info from the collection sheet.

I got my first order of things from the collection! I'm being a very good girl and decided to wrap them and put them in my stocking before testing/swatching anything. I will say though...I love how the JC looks, Nakkar still has my heart, and Black Pearl is STUNNING (yeah, I peeked in the boxes before wrapping, lol). I can't wait to unwrap them and try them out.

So yeah, I placed another order already.

I'm still pretty undecided on most of the lippies, but I know Jersey Rose needs to be mine. I surfed on over to order that on Chanel.com, but it's out of stock! Annoyed I went to NM.com and there it was ready and waiting for me in the drop down menu (yay!). They have a code right now (good until noon today I believe) to receive your order before Christmas for FREE (the code is NMQUICK), so I used that. I wanted to get that holiday Jack Black Lip Balm Trio anyway, so I tossed that into my cart as well. Score!

I know I'll be placing at least a 3rd order today to take advantage of Chanel.com's free overnight shipping, now I just need to choose what will be in it!

^^ I agree, Nakkar looks gorgeous on Sabrina's blog.

I think I change my mind about the eyeliner, I may get it because I like that it is shimmery.

Bis -- I think in MAC I am a NW 20 or 25. I applied Espiegle with a skunk brush and then buffed it in with a large powder brush. I really loved it.

Meg -- I know, this free overnight shipping at Chanel makes me want to order more!!

Loving all of the swatches!!

I love Nakkar but got Flamboyante. Both beautiful orange- pink tones.
The SA tested Flamboyante on me with In Love JC for the blush choice. I love them both, but In Love will be my next purch.
