The Chanel Ratonas Off-topic Thread

[elegant-one]

Oh, & then I got a call from my very cool Chanel lady at Saks ( answering machine) to tell me about Saks Friends & Family sale

so does that mean I could have bought all the shines & summer items at a discount!?

 

[Bonitinha]

How exciting Elegant!! What a nice gift!! You'll have to tell us all about the event! So happy for you

 

[Winthrop44]

OMG elegant! That is AMAZING!

Enjoy it all, and yes, you will have to tell us all about the event!

On a more mundane note...has anybody tried Bobbi Brown's Extra Eye Repair Cream? I'm wondering if it's worth trying or not. It gets fairly good reviews on MUA.

Hey ladies, I don't know where to post this, but I need opinions on this bag. I am having some serious buyers remorse. LOL I have one day before I can return it.

I think it is very Business chic. I love Kate Spade! I have a few of her shoes & bags but I don't really carry the bags much any more.

If you are having serious buyers remorse then maybe you would feel much better if you returned it.

 

[Prettypackages]

WOW! Elegant one... that is AWESOME!! How long would you say you've been shopping there? (nordstrom)

 

[elegant-one]

A few years

they have been incredible I must say

 

[Prettypackages]

THanks, I think that was the problem, it was business chic. I haven't been working and couldn't figure out a place to wear it. Now that I've gotten this new job, I can use it as an every day bag. I have a Kate Spade bag that is 10 years old and I don't wear it anymore either. I had a plain and simple coach hobo that got stolen last year and that was my everyday, I'm too lazy to change bag. LOL

I just might return it and see how I feel then. I fit is calling my name, I'll just go back and get it. I know... I know that is bad.

No, I think thats fine if you didn't use the bag. Better to return & buy back later than live with regret. Thats just awful that your Coach bag got stolen!!! Shame on those people. My KS bags are years older too. Her fun bags are quite charming. Her shoes look nice but stink because they are terribly uncomfortable. I carry a Furla bag that I cannot part with because I love the style & my phone & other junk fits in it so perfectly

I just never get tired of it.

Let's drink to vices, the more the better

I got #2 (Lust Red) and a second one which I thought was #12, but which looks nothing like Karla's swatch. Based on her swatches, I'd say it's #4, Pulp Fiction. It's a gorgeous grey with a pink sheen and I've never seen anything like either of them. They are thick with shimmer, but, strangely, I don't find they look overly frosty on my lids- less than a regular frost shadow. I've actually been using a lip brush to apply them and building up the coverage. I honestly think you could smudge them on with your fingers and even them out quickly with a brush if you wanted to. They truly do not budge once they're set.

Here's to vice!

Hi just getting caught up.

Shypo-- I love your bag and you can't beat that price. I haven't been to TJ Maxx in a while. It is definitely hit or miss there. I got a great leather tote/bag there last year that is perfect to use as a carry on. It isn't too large but yet holds all I need that I do not want to put in a checked bag.

Elegant--What a super gift. They sent you some great goodies. I love Nordies but for now I still have to shop online or when I am out of town. We are getting one that is to open spring of 2012. I absolutely love their shoe department.

I guess I am now going to have to check out that "Beagle Blush " since it like no other peach blush.

Elegant, that's a really nice present Nordstrom gave you. I hope it makes up a bit for the crazy lady that was following you around? Katred, thanks for the recommendations for the Armani EtK. I will try some more different brushes. Application was not so great, but the result was just wow

 

[katred]

Elegant- I love your gift! Seems like they're doing their best to make everything up to you. For my part, I am going to think that all the insane shipping charges they have for Canada were used to pay for your gift, which makes me feel better about them.

 

[mrslid]

WOW WOW WOW WOW Elegant!!! That is amazing!!!! I would absolutely cry as well. How lovely that they appreciate their customers so much. If they only knew how much you ordered online LOL!!! Now you're going to feel guilty when you order somewhere else LOL I already experience that with my SA because she is so generous with samples and shipping stuff to me for free

 

[LMD84]

Elegant just popping in to say the gift they gave you is amazing! That shows how much of a valued customer you are - absolutely lovely!

 

[Miss QQ]

HOLY COW peeps - I just received this as a gift from Nordstroms (plus they sent me that lovely floral bouquet)

I cried!!!



Thats like almost $500 worth of product - insane

plus, The lady who is head of all of Nordstrom beauty invited me to be her guest for the Spring Trend event

I am shocked - maybe for the first time ever - speechless.

Many Thanks to Nordstom!

Wow, beatuiful gift!

What gloss is that? Equinoxe? And what is the Precision bottle? Please give us review of that and the Ultra correction lift cream when you have tried them.

 

[Prettypackages]

I love Furla too...
Yeah that night was horrible. I was at club, keys were in my purse, phone locked in my car. The only thing I had on me was my cash and ID. Thank God one of my guy friends, who is like my brother, drove me home. I was a 1/2hr out of his way too. (I CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE) I also had my BRAND NEW Bobbi Brown makeup, a MAC gloss and lipstick, and my SE 187 brush in there. I was so pissed, I was like you could've taken the purse and wallet and left me everything else, especially my keys.

the more I look at it, the more I love it. I just wish it was a cross body. I like to be totally hands free. THe bone/taupe (oyster) color I got is perfect for this time of year.

 

[Prettypackages]

I am still amazed at your gift! WOWOWOWOWOWOW

 

[elegant-one]

I know - its REALLY crazy right?

Katred - yeah, may be - thats really funny

MissQQ - It is Blizzard 19 - which is a really pretty icy slight plum mauve. The other tall dark bottle is the large Ultra Correction Lift (150.00) face day cream, which I have only been using samples of but LOVE it. The short square dark container is the Ultra Correction Lift Lip Plump Anti-Wrinkle & Contour (85.00), Chanel No. 5 & Coco Mademoiselle each 3.4 fl. oz. $90.00 each

I just tried the UCL lip plump & I must say that it is pretty dreamy! In fact, my lips were slightly plumper, very moisturized & so smooth that the lipstick went on incredibly smooth & actually lasted longer. To me, it even seemed that the ls color was even truer - because sometimes my very pigmented lips can change the color a bit or lighter colors may not show up as light, but this certainly made a difference imo. This product will definitely stay in my arsenal!

Elegant, those items are just

It's so good to know that they care so much about an excellent client =D

Prettypackages, I love the last pic of the bag you posted: I love the color, the shape and I believe, the size (I imagine it not so small). But well, I am not an objective person, I do love almost every bag!

Ladies, I've cleaning all day long the new apartment, including the windows (which were uncleaned for months I believe). The only problem is that later this afternoon, it has starting raining ... heavily!! I was staring out of my bedroom window with two huge tears on my eyes, lol. I guess I will have to re-clean them again tomorrow. On the other hand, on monday we will start moving in so I am super excited as well as super tired.

Unfortunately, when I got home I have read in an spanish forum that MAC's Fashion Flower is not coming to Spain (I still don't understand why

) so I may have to ask a CP for the only two things I wanted to get from this collection. It could have been SurfBaby the one not coming! I don't want anything from that one =D
