The Chanel Ratonas Off-topic Thread

[Shypo]

^^ I got that tote in orange today when I ordered the Starfish powder and Misia (and Gardnia) - it's cute!! But the free shipping is with a $150 purchase....I actually called them and said I didn't want to pay shipping (my order was around $100 and I wasn't going to spend another $50 just on principle).

I have a lot of the shadows and one gloss, and one of the bronzer/highlighters (Romeo and Juliet). I can help with swatches - online stuff (especially on the sites) is TERRIBLE. Let me know which ones you're interested in, and if I have them, I'll swatch them. It might be easier that way......

My personal faves off the top of my head at the moment (I'll go look through them later):

Corinthian
Fire Lily
Water Sapphire
Kunzite
Jojo
Rose Champagne
Bordeaux

Cheryl, if they didn't already give you FS when you called and it's not too late...you can get FS at any price with code BTYEVENT. I'm not sure if that code is still supposed to be working but it is because I used it a couple of hours ago to get a backup of Misia.

Here's a blog I love that has lots of swatches of LMdB. She's going to be doing the lipsticks and glosses next. Tell her PerilouslyPale sent you ;-)

there's no need to fear the black panties man it's been a long time since i've been on specktra. hi all

 

[panties]

well their lip cremes are awesome i have swatches, as Winthrop44 posted.

I was just checking out LMdB -- I would love to find out more info about their glosses, lippies and shadows! The online swatches are always so unreliable. That Crochet Kaleidoscope looked so pretty on the Neimans site! I guess they are doing a free tote right now with $85 purchase, plus the free shipping . . . Tempting!!

So my dear, how does your skin like the LMdB creme blushes?


I just used your FS code to order the Poppy (which is backordered until the 18th which is ok) & the LM Violet Orchid blush

I will get the Mystique blush through Nordies.

 

[elegant-one]

Welcome back & thanks so very much for the swatches & info!

 

[Winthrop44]

Haha, hi panties! Nice to see you on here...but you know we are Chanel lovers too, right? Thanks so much for posting that pic of the box showing the ingredients for Mystique.

elegant, despite the very first ingredient being castor oil (which makes my checks burn and flush when it's in moisturizers) Mystique is doing fine on my skin. My fingers are crossed that it stays that way, probably won't wear it 2 days in a row. I have & love that LM blush too, btw!

 

[Shypo]

LM Violet Orchid is so pretty! I have all of my LM blushes in their little palette - it's so pretty! I have Orange Blossom too, which is perfect. I think I have room for one more.......

Thanks Winthrop - I did get a 'courtesy' free shipping, but will use this code if I 'need' anything else - I'm sure before the weekend is out there will be something I simply must have.

I'm really wanting the LMdB eye crease brush, but Nordie's hasn't been able to get it for some reason - I've ordered it several times only to get a cancellation. Today the site said it had an estimated ship date of late May, so I don't know what's up........I may see if NM has it......

 

[panties]

I can tell by the title of the board. I'm not a Chanel fan but I do appreciate makeup in general. I'm glad Mystique isn't causing a bad reaction. I'll try to post ingredients assuming I didn't throw away the box/insert (assuming the ingredients are posted on there).

What helps me when it comes to potential irritating ingredients is using a primer, since it creates a barrier.

Hey Panties!!!!!!! Good to see you here ;-) Man, must be a long time...says you're located in Washington LOL

 

[panties]

I am in DC often (it's my hometown) and I may be moving back soon. The last time I was signed in was probably in 2006. ha ha.

Panties, do you know if LMdB is going to be expanding into more Nordstrom stores?

 

[panties]

I've been told yes, but I don't know which locations, or how many Nordies will have the line by the end of the year, etc. The ones in the VA/DC area there's a Le Metier de Beaute counter at Pentagon City, which is a new counter. There's also a counter at NM in Tysons Galleria and Mazza Gallerie in DC.

Panties, do you know if LMdB is going to be expanding into more Nordstrom stores?

Cheryl -- I was eyeing the Rose Champagne and Bordeaux shades -- I'd love to see a swatch!

Now all of you ladies have me wanting to go check out all of the sites about LMdB -- this is trouble! LOL
With Gail's free shipping code, I think it is perfectly reasonable for me to go stock up my Neiman's cart

I know it! Its all Gail's & her FS codes fault!

I've already put in my call to the head of Nordstrom beauty about it

And I'm about fed up enough to vamoose. But I won't, cuz I have 2 kids in college (or will have this summer). So it will have to wait a few years. Heavens, can I put up with it for that long?





Wait, isn't this ALL men??


Elegant--I missed that fab concealer you were raving about. Do tell please.....again.

^^ Perhaps most, if not all.......it's a real problem where I work. They just interrupt and talk over you, don't let you finish a thought before they're jumping in. I hate it.

Michelle, I'll try to swatch these for you today - I checked Penelope and those 2 shades are part of it (which I know you know) - they're really pretty. I might even have Nutmeg, but I have to check. I'll try to also photograph my palettes so you can see what they look like relative to each other. I'm not the greatest photographer, but I'll give it a whirl.

Panties, glad to see you posting here - yes, we 'Chanel' ladies love to talk about everything else, so we created this thread for ourselves.......it's nice to have another LMdB person here!!

 

[Winthrop44]

I would love to know which LMdB shadows are less shimmery. Corinthian, for example, is such a gorgeous color but is too shimmery for my crepey old lids. Is Jojo as shimmery? I love Water Sapphire!
