The Chanel Ratonas Off-topic Thread

[Miss QQ]

Hi Cheryl! Great that you managed to get the three powders! Have a safe journey!

I attended a chanel event where they collaborated with a florist and we got to watched a demo at the florist shop and then each of us got to do one arrangement which we could bring back! We also got some light refreshments and a gift bag which consist of: mini Legend RC, mini No 5 perfume, a brooch, and sublimage eye cream, serum and cream. It lasted about 1.5 hrs and I had a great time!

Same piece on another table.



Very exquisite! And its perfume so its very concentrated. Not sure if I'll use it.

Miss QQ I'm jealous! Those flowers look lovely and that's a very nice gift they were giving.

Thanks to all here, I'm now lemming the LM lipsticks... I love the Berry colour and Sweet Cherry. I've purposely not been swatching them when I go out because I didn't want something else on my list of "must-buys". I've actually been comparatively well-behaved this week and haven't added to my stash. I have a feeling that will change soon enough...

They are more pigmented & last a bit longer than shines or dior. Beautiful colors

Uh-oh...

lol. There is a store that carries LM in my country and I've been in there twice but LM is very expensive as they marked up the price like crazy. Maybe I have to examine them again.

They're quite nice.......one wouldn't hurt......can you stop at just one?

I think it's the same here as well... hence my hesitation to go there. But after seeing the swatches I just have to go

MissQQ -- what lovely pictures! So fun -- and I love all of your goodies! I would love to go to a Chanel event like that

Cutie - (I love calling you Cutie

) -

"Ohh they are all so pretty!! Thanks Elegant . Texture and feel wise, which one is your favorite? RCS, Shimmering Rouge, or this?"

That is SUCH a tough answer to give, because they are all really lovely colors & textures.

I really love the colors & feel of the Chanel shines, so I think they are #1. And, I am thinking, because of the color & feel possibly the LM, then Dior & Shiseido.

I'm pretty sure that I will eventually end up with almost all of the LMs

I love the colors a lot

Well ok - everybody should own at least Hibiscus Bloom

Elegant, did you order the Mally TSV? I did not - the colors didn't really appeal to me........

Clementine is on its way to me now.......

Elegant -- now I can't wait to see these new LM lippies in person! And yes -- wouldn't it be a blast to go to a Chanel event together??

Cheryl -- hope you enjoy your next trip! How did the trip go with that dude from work? I hope you squeezed in some shopping!

She left him there

I read a BUNCH of reviews on the LM ls - not one bad review - everybody loves them.

Yes, we could have a blast together! But - WARNING WARNING - I don't always behave myself though

I'm trying! Never heard back from the department store that was gonna try and locate one for me! I may have to wait or see if I can get one when we head south in a couple of weeks!

 

[stv578]

Miss QQ, that event sounds fantastic! Everything looks so elegant and beautiful, enjoy! I really like the brooch.

 

[Bonitinha]

All the better, my dear!

Now, we just have to find an event where they give out fabulous loot and we're there!

 

[katred]

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Read a review on this blog: http://theconcretebrunette.blogspot.com/2011/04/laura-mercier-gel-lip-colour.html
Hibiscus Bloom: "It will suit most anyone who likes to sport a fresh rosey lip." SOLD

I just hope they are not severely overpriced here. Well, if they are, then I'm coming home with another RCS. Easy

Astrid, I know what you mean about glosses, hair and glasses!! Not fun at all! These days I'm back to wearing my contacts more because it has been so windy lately, and my hair is much longer.

Happy Mothers Day ladies!!!
