[quote name="Miss QQ" url="/forum/thread/170341/chanel-lipsticks-rouge-coco-rouge-allure-etc/1050#post_2103868"] Thanks very much for the swatches, elegant!
I put on my sample of Monte-carlo today before leaving the house. It's a pretty strawberry red, and it's now on my list. I went to the counter and tried on Chance, Rebelle and Antigone. Chance showed up as a pretty, girly pink on me. I'm very impressed by the pigmentation. On the lips, the colour shows up better than on the back of my hand. I wasn't feeling Rebelle on me, it is a slightly warm red. So I tried on Antigone and fell in love. It's a deep, berry red. Because there was a promotion where I get $20 off if I spend $150, I decided to get Chance and Antigone and the Shiseido Benefiance eye cream. However when I wanted to make payment, the cashier said the promotion is only valid for a single brand purchase! It was quite annoying because in the mailer they didn't state that. In the end I purchase the Chanel UCLR eye cream and Chance. I will go back for Antigone, Romance and maybe Sari D'eau, Bonheur, Boy and more if I get to try them on and like them. Sari D'eau is beautiful! I actually think I can pull it off because it isn't that orange, it has some micro shimmers that reflects pink or red.
Here is Chance and Joyeuse. Chance is lighter.
[/quote] Thanks for the swatches. I think I should have gotten Chance instead, but I did not even swatch it. Yesterday I got Unique and Flying Cloud and FC is a positive surprise. It just smells very strongly, more than Antigone. I should not swatch Chance, but I might when I get a chance. Cheryl, I hope your dog is feeling better and healing up nicely.
