The Chanel Ratonas Off-topic Thread

I know I've mentioned before how IN LOVE I am with Le Metier de Beaute's creme fresh tint but I have to shout it from the rooftops again! I think it really is a must for you guys to try! I really liked how my pics captured it.

That is seriously freakin beautiful - I cannot wait to get mine - poop, its still backordered, but I already paid for it & I am hoping that it ships earlier than the 18th.

I was going to tell you too - there is another new Peach shade listed on Nordstroms site - uh oh

I called one of the two stores today that carry Laura Mercier to see if Hibiscus Bloom was in stock. Nope. I wanted that and Berry Sorbet, they didn't have either of them. The SA was going to call another location to see if they have it, hopefully she can get it in. The pics of Hibiscus Bloom are stunning. The Queen Enabler strikes again!

Seriously though, I have been wearing Hibiscus Bloom in the evening when I put my nightgown on - why? I don't know.

because its so pretty. I have to stop doing that so I don't use it all up

Almus - You are so cute! Enjoy that fun home furnishings shopping!

Katred - I am loving the Armani too. And, did I miss the blush - which one was it? I looked at Sephora & did not see a new one.

Michelle - hugs, doll! That Chanel dress is stunning! I would wear it - even around the house...maybe with my Hibiscus Bloom ls

Shypo - OHMYGosh that Smashbox TSV is BEAUTIFUL! I love love all the colors.

Hi everyone else.

Elegant -- That HB lippie does look gorgeous! I can see why you want to wear it all the time! Do you have Dollface, too? I just love the name!

HB is very very beautiful on! My Dollface will be here Friday

I know, isn't the name so cute. Its the prettiest pink, somewhere between a baby pink & a light barbie pink - its soft & perfect. I'll take pics of both when I get it. HB must be insanely popular. The feel of these on is really really nice. I really like the velvety pigmentation & long wear too.

Almus -- Enjoy your new place! Decorating is so much fun, I can't wait until I get a new place

Michelle, I didn't know that you could have insurance on your makeup collections? Of course it make sense... we've spent hundreds on them!
And oh that Chanel dress on Frida Pinto is so pretty!! But I can't believe the one thy put on Kristen Dunst

.

Nora, I agree with the sample packs. I wish we could get them here as well... lipstick colors looked so much different on me from the hand swatch to the lips, and I don't really want to try it out in store. Chanel stuff are way too expensive to gamble on (for me)

.

Elegant -- this reminds me that I must check out LM counter... I kept chickening out from going there... somehow the SA scares me and the counter was never busy enough that I could have a look on my own.

LOL!! Oh don't worry! I know all about the three new shades of LMdB creme fresh tints!!! I can't order from Nordtrom's though so I have to patiently wait for them to arrive at NM ;-( It is supposed to happen later this month though!!

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.

I had a great day seeing new makeup at the counters today! Bought the chanel summer collection and I posted it on the summer thread. The dior collection was out too, but we aren't getting the 2 bronzers. Instead, we only have the highlighter shade, which comes in the same woven pattern as the bronzers but it is just a colourless, slightly shimmery powder. You can see it here if you are curious.

Since we don't have Aurore, all the better for my wallet and head as I don't need to consider if I need it. The EL starfish is still nowhere in sight. Maybe I have to visit another counter where it always has special LE items. I'm anxiously awaiting for guerlain's terra inca to launch now.

I visited the DFS in town and the RCS set with the pouch is already sold out! It is selling at the same price as the total cost of the 3 RCS, so there is no savings. The SA said maybe new stocks will come, so I'll go back to check. The Guerlain rouge automatiques are out. Impressed with the colours and finish, and the packaging is interesting and not heavy like the Rouge G. Ladies, if you like the strawberry jam colour, you have to check out Coque D'or! It's stunning!

Cheryl - L'ondee Apres and shalimar are beautiful, you picked the best colours! I also like Champ Elysees and CD!

I got my LM Dollface this morning!!! It is BEEEAUTIFUL on

I love love this shade. So, I ordered Berry Sorbet

I really want all of them the colors are sooo fab

 

[Bonitinha]

Astrid -- yep, I have to have proof of valuables for my homeowners insurance. And my makeup collection is most def one of my valuables LOL
And yes -- what is that frock they put on Kirsten Dunst?? With so many beautiful options out there, why that one?

MissQQ -- sounds like you have been having so much fun shopping! Yippeeee!

Elegant -- I want Dollface, too! Isn't that the name Cary Grant called his leading ladies? Love it.

We need to see a pic of you wearing it!

Well, I ordered 2 glossimers that I've been wanting to add to my collection (Rose Sand and Rose Dentelle) -- just because of the free overnight shipping yesterday. I need to get a grip!

 

[elegant-one]

I think he called all the gals Dollface

Michelle - I know that you would LOVE the color of Dollface! I have to run out for a bit, but I'll takes pics as soon as I get back. Great pics on the Glossimers.

MissQQ - can you please describe Lotus Rose more to me. IS it really sheer. It looks like a peachy rose color in the one pic that I saw

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ I'll anxiously await the pics! I should just have my hubs start calling me Dollface LOL

My glossimers just came -- of course, I love them both. Except the one is Rose Dilemma (I think I said Rose Dentelle -- which was the lipstick I missed out on). Going to go use one of them in my "look" today

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks, Michelle! I had a really fun day buying and looking at new makeup!

elegant - LR is bright but it still looks sheer and balm like. I didn't try it on my lips though. It is a bright rose pink if I recall correctly. Too bad I didn't buy it today. You can see the swatch of it sheered out here. Beautiful, but I wonder how long the colour will stay on my lips.

Laura Mercier Gel Lipsticks - Hibiscus Bloom left, Dollface right.
They are MUCH prettier on the lips than in these swatches.

And my favorite nail polish of ALL time - Chanel Riviera

 

[elegant-one]

You should - I love the name.

I actually call my hubs that

Well, Lotus Rose looks more like what the color is on her lips in the Chanel Summer Promo pic???

 

[Bonitinha]

Love the pics, Elegant. And of course, your nails look amazing as usual!

Lotus Rose looks so pretty! I seriously have more gloss than I could ever use. If they sold it in the US, I'm sure I'd end up with it in my cart

Yes I think so too, but our brochure says it is Pensee. I'm going to post some pics in the summer thread later. The LM l/s are beautiful! And Riveria looks like it is a colour made for you!

 

[elegant-one]

Here is a link for some Fabulous LM swatches! I may also get Cherry & Clementine.

Hi Ratonas!!

Sorry I haven't been here in awhile - trip to CA this past week, and I leave for Lost Wages tomorrow....so lots going on!

Almus, congrats on your new home - I wish you many wonderful memories!!

I picked up Hibiscus Bloom a couple of weeks ago - it's gorgeous!! I hope you girls are able to find it soon!! I tried Dollface and it sort of disappeared on my hand - but I may check it out again. Clementine is on my list though. I plan to do some shopping out in LV, so I'm looking forward to that - list in hand!!

MissQQ - nice haul!! Thanks for posting all of those pics!!

I also managed to snag a Starfish powder, NARS Deep Throat, and the Dior Aurora bronzer. It was out of stock everywhere, so I'm glad I got it.

I think that's it for a quick catch-up - I'll try to get some swatches and other pics of LMdB later today if I have time -
