This is why free shipping should be offered more...everywhere!!! We all buy things just because, lol.oh & darn it - I ordered Peregrina this morning - next day overnight freebie.

I'm really interested to hear what you think of Peregrina! I'm holding off on this one for now until I can either see it in person or check out enough swatches to confirm how I think it'll look on me. I'm thinking I have to get Flamboyante today (your description had me at hello!) along with a new RAEDG (probably Imaginaire).

Seriously it is one of my all time fave strawberry lip colors EVER!
Yeah...that free ship gets me every time. All business should learn from that - well maybe NM has since they always seem to be offering free ship these days.

Ladies please! Leave some products for coming to Europe!
Now seriously, I am enjoying so much checking the forum and your pruchases. Thank you very much for your opinions and swatches. I hope I will get my hands soon on both RCs. Btw, no one is interested in the lip pencils? I was thinking about the peach one ...

LOL Almus! I know, we all seem to be buying everything!!
Gorgeous pics Elegant! I can't wait to hear about Peregraina.
I went ahead and bought Rose Dust blush, Imagination RA l/s, and Rose Comete RC l/s (I know people say it is frosty, but I will try it with a gloss to diffuse the frostiness) -- just because I have been wanting those forever. Must.Stop.Now.
Darn free overnight shipping -- it makes me feel like I should buy whatever I want lol
Mrslid -- how did the eye surgery go??

I'll be off for a couple of days too so Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all spend the most wonderful time with your beloved ones.
I just arrived from buying a few presents for my brother and bf and I stopped by Chanel counter to check for the last time on any update on the Holiday Collection. It seems we won't get it eventually and well, the SA had no idea on when the Spring one will be available. There have been several weeks since I don't buy any Chanel and I am starting to feel a bit weird
mrslid, hope you are ok. Take your time to recover and remember not to get exposed to direct sunlight for a few days!
Tons of hugs!

It does seem like we're all buying quite a bit from this one...even if it is one or two pieces at a time, lol. We'll make sure to leave you one of everything you want! I'm trying to avoid the lip pencils, but they do look so pretty (especially the peach one).
Mrslid - Hope the surgery went smoothly and you're enjoying your new view of life! I hope you're feeling much better, too (that goes for you too Miss QQ!). Feeling crappy around the holidays is never fun.
I hope everyone has a wonderfully joyful Christmas (or any other holiday you may celebrate!). I know it's not Thanksgiving, but I'm so thankful for all of you this year. Thanks for making my relaxing "me time" on Specktra full of so much fun, laughter, support, and friendship. All of you are so special, thanks for being here.

Elegant you've made Flamboyante a must on my list now!! Thanks...I think LOL
Thanks for thinking of me everyone!! The surgery went well and I feel great. I had my follow up appt today and my vision isn't so great in my right eye. I have some inflamation so hopefully that is the only cause. It's pretty frustrating that I can't see as well as I need to. It sure is a heck of a lot better than no glasses prior surgery of course but I can't read street signs or anything. It is supposed to get better though and hopfully the infammation is behind the poorer vision.
I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday!!! Hopefully we are filled with as much joy as our little Chanel deliveries bring us ;-)

Oh my...I'm sure that your eyes will get better! Thanks for popping in to let us know. I've been wanting to have that surgery for years - but I'm a chicken. So I'll be really curious as to what you think of it down the road a bit.Elegant you've made Flamboyante a must on my list now!! Thanks...I think LOL

Elegant...how does Flamboyante compare to Cambon RC and Excessive RA?

I just ran back to swatch them.
They are in kinda the same color family but Cambon is much brighter & way more color saturated. Flamboyante is much more sheer (which is one reason I love it so much ) & just a tiny tad more coral in it. Its a true Strawberry red. It also has a bit of like gold pearl shimmer to it but very slight. Its what I wanted all the past strawberry reds to be.
Its also in the color families of Emoi & Excess. The feel of it is lovely too.
