Chanel Spring 2011

[Shadowy Lady]

Miss QQ - what a lovely gift! Hope u enjoy it very much! I still haven't got Excess, but it is on my list and shall join my stash soon

I loooooove the new Chanel quint (Ombres Perlees). I've been wearing it everyday since I got it. The texture of the shades is so lovely. Just posted an FOTD with it actually if you guys wanna check it out. I also got Black Pearl n/p but didn't buy Espiegele yet. I think I want to splurge on some new shoes first, lol!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

Thanks, ladies! The dior cannage palette is great for an evening look. The light pink ultra fine shimmery shade is gorgeous as a highlighter, and the matte dark grey shade balances the two shimmery silver and grey shades. All the shades are pigmented, very soft and fine. The faux leather reeks of chemical smell though lol.

Saadeh, how do you use the quint? Mainly with other e/s palettes? I've only use it once so I need to experiment more.

The Asia exclusive collection, Tourbillons D'Eclat de Chanel, has launched at my counter. I came back with the pink lipstick, Joyeuse. It is brighter than I imagined, and I wanted to get the peach one instead at first. But the SA said this is LE, so I bought it. I wore it today and love it! It is a beautiful, barbie doll pink, yet Chanel makes it wearable and sophisticated. The RA formula is amazing - very moisturising yet not too much slip, and pigmentation is good.

It is a sweaty lipstick. lol


To give you an idea on the pinkness: Magnolia, Joyeuse, Charme.

There is a pic of the highlighter, Pearl Glow, as well as the quad, Rose Envolee and Rose Tourbillon JC here.

Pearl Glow is a shimmery beige highlighter that is suppose to give the face a glowy effect. I tried it on but it didn't show up so I pass (for the time being). Perhaps it was because I already had a shimmery highlighter on. The three shades in the quad looks very similar to what we see in all the recent quads (Tentation Cuivee), the only shade I don't have is the bright shimmery pink shade. The peach lipstick, Desinvolte, is a true peach, and is lighter than Peregrina. There are two glosses, a shimmery pink with blue and pink glitters, and another is clear with pink glitters.

I have a booklet of this collection and here are some pics.

^^^ Thanks a lot for all the info about Le Blanc. The sweaty lipstick look amazing, a very nice sophisticated pink.

Bis -- loving your exclusives! That pink lippie is gorgeous! I want the peach one, too -- bummer I can't get it in the US!

 

[RedVelvetX]

I wish I could get that peach lipstick here!

That is a gorgeous barbie pink! I'm glad you picked it up. I have such weakness for barbie pink lipsticks, especially come spring. Oh and I wore the quint with other shades in my stash. Typically I mix them with matte shades to add more dimension. I wore the slate gray shade on lid with Copperplate from MAC in the crease plus the white shade in the quint on tear duct and it was love

That pink lipstick is gorgeous!!!! Why do they have to torment us with limited launches? Enjoy it! The peach one sounds amazing too.......still lemming Rose Tourbillon......and I may have to try to track down that Dior Cannage palette - I think I saw it at Saks online......

MissQQ - Lucky you - that pink lippie is so beautiful!!!

Is it like any other US pink chanel lipstick that you can think of or is this a totally unique pink?

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ I know, I can't stop thinking of that perfect Barbie pink lipstick! When I use MAC Pink Treat liner with Chanel Imagination RA, it turns it into a much brighter pink. I have it on today with MAC Pink Swoon blush and only black winged liner and mascara on the eyes. Fast and easy.

I love the pink gloss in the Asia exclusive picture, too -- drools!!

agghhh, I agree - its all so so pretty! Our colors right. I'll have to try that with pink treat. Michelle that look sounds perfect & pretty. My favorite kinda look too.

I LOVE Blossom too - color & name! I wonder if it has some good color to it, or it just turns clear on the lips???

 

[Bonitinha]

Elegant -- I bought Imagination RA upon your recommendation and I love it! I would love to see a swatch of Blossom!
I read an article of the gloss that Angelina Jolie reapplied at the Golden Globes (that Chantecaille "love" gloss that is now sold out everywhere). Sheesh, do I need to get obsessed with more glosses?!?

I know...& I have other obsessions too. Now I have to go look that love gloss up somewhere to see what it looks like.
I'm so glad you love Imagination! Its so pretty on.

oh dear - I found it & ordered the Angelina "love" gloss

<----Michelle, thats what you did to me

 

[Winthrop44]

You did?! I thought it was sold out everywhere until like March? I don't have that one but I have a couple others and they really feel heavenly on the lips, kind of like the Aqualumiere glosses but more plush. Not very long lasting tho, I can understand why she reapplied! lol

Oh great! Actually, I thought of you - wondering if you had any of these gloss I found one of the last few left anywhere! Barneys. She said she just took a couple of calls right before mine so she knew which store had them. The color looked so pretty. Which colors do you have? I also liked the color Sweet.

 

[Bonitinha]

I can't believe you found it, Elegant!! I have been looking online for weeks! I even signed up for email notification when it is back in stock on the Chantecaille site LOL I wish we would get some high end department stores here that carry lux beauty products. Seriously, we only have Dillards and Macy's -- can we kick it up a notch??
I read she also loves "Charm" -- might as well get that one, too!

 

[Winthrop44]

Alot of them are realllly sheer, Charm is one. I have Glee, Flirt (I think, the label fell off), Classic (don't like this one much) and Sweet (just a sample size). I like their Lip Chics and Future Skin foundation more than the glosses tbh, but I've thought about getting Love or Elation from time to time.

 

[Bonitinha]

I just got Elation -- free shipping on the Chantecaille website. In the swatches, Elation looked close to Love:

<------- Michelle needs pink gloss

I called Barneys IL & she already new the store that had some left. NO tax & NO shipping gotta love that - pun intended

Now I'll go take a peek at Elation as I can't remember what that color looked like.

EDIT - Doh! I see the link you posted. geesh!!! what is wrong with me. Ooh, Elation is so pretty. They all look yummy don't they. I like Glee too
