Chanel Summer 2011

[User38]

I would have a fortune if I could legally sell my samples.

I agree. I wouldn't actually order any of the collection off eBay. I'll wait till it's released. I thought sample lipsticks would have been cool but I didn't find any Chanel ones :-(

Thanks for the links, winthrop and Megan! The quad looks very interesting! I'm already thinking how I can wear all 4 shades together! I hope the RC Shine aren't frosty. I agree with Honey&Lemongirl, the packaging looks like it will get messy.

There is a whitening collection in Asia this February, which includes skincare and makeup. The quad reminds me of Songes. The RAs look very promising! And is Rose Tourbillon a repromote JC? It sounds very familar. The promo pic looks a little strange though lol. Now I need to put aside some money after the Spring collection for this!

Thanks for the link! I guess Rose Tourbillon is a repromote because I just found a post from over the summer on MUA by someone who has an extensive blush collection saying that she purged her stash of a bunch of things and Rose Tourbillon was one of them. It looks so pretty in that picture that it's hard to understand - maybe texture was an issue? There are no reviews of it on MUA so I'm thinking it never came to the US or it was from a very long time ago.

Ooohh I am really liking the yellow polish for my toes on summer!

I cannot think about summer right now, when I am so far away from getting my spring goodies (no sign that when it will be released here

), which now I know they will be the two RCs and the JC for sure. But since I have to calm down a bit with the anxiety of getting new Chanel stuff, yesterday I got the RC in mademoiselle (finally!).

Winthrop, I love your avatar! Did you make it?

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ You will get plenty of use out of Mademoiselle!

winthrop, thanks, I will take note of the texture of Rose Tourbillon. If it is bad I can pass and that is good, since I want espiegle.

I heard Rose Tourbillon has the usual baked texture of the Euro JCs. Compared to Pink Explosion it's much warmer and brighter.

 

[Shypo]

I wish Rose Turbillon was like Turbulent - I missed out on that one and would love to have it!!!!

I think the yellow polish is a pass for me too.......like Meg, I'm going to stick with my usuals for summer toes.

Some new goodies to look forward to!

 

[Winthrop44]

I got swaplifted by someone in Norway for over $100 worth of stuff trying to swap for Turbulent about two years ago. After that a super nice MUAer took pity on me and sent me a tester that had been passed around quite a bit. If I still had it I'd send it to you but I passed it on to someone else who was dying to try it quite awhile ago. It really wasn't all that I had made it out to be in my mind...at least on my skintone.

I love the Glossimers, and anything that is orange (with pink shimmer) has me interested.

When will the summer collection come out? Sometime around May, or sooner?

 

[2browneyes]

I'd love to see a pic / swatch of Aurora.

 

[MarionneB]

OMG!! That seller doesn't just have the polishes, she the whole collection!! She even has Rouge Coco Shines!!! How is that possible??!! Is this authentic? It certainly looks authentic.

It's authentic all-right. I have the Morning rose nailpolish, and in fact it's not for sale, it's for internal use only. It's a gorgious color, it's a lovely bright pink with lots and lots of golden microglitters. I'm very happy with it

If Mimosa has the same amount of golden microglitters as this cutie I can assure you ladies.... you will find it to be irresistible, even though it is a bright yellow. At first I thought it would be similar to LA Sunrise, but after playing with the Morning Rose I'm convinced that Mimosa must be loaded with pretty gold microglitters. Otherwise.... I will be very-very-very dissapointed, LOL

 

[Rinstar]

^I hope you're right about Mimosa. LA Sunrise was OK, but the formula kind of sucked TBH. Hope Mimosa is a good formula with pretty microshimmer.

Thanks for the info!

Can you tell us anything about Beige Petale?

 

[2browneyes]

Can't wait to see Mimosa!

 

[Lacquered Mom]

The SA at the Chanel counter showed me the the pictures for the new collection tonight, and I may be changing my mind on Mimosa. It was more of a golden yellow with either a shimmer or a flake-type glitter in it (I couldn't tell). It definitely wasn't a yellow creme.

I'm looking forward to the Pensee Glossimer. It looked very pretty.

The information that the SA had said that the collection will start shipping to the counters in the beginning of April, and she guessed it would go on sale around the end of April.

Totally off topic - what is a SA? Shop assistant?

 

[Camnagem]

My hubby calls them "Spending Assistants" (like I need the help, lol) but I think SA = Sales Associate?

 

[Monsy]

Yes, Sales associate.
