The Chanel Ratonas Off-topic Thread

[Bonitinha]

Thanks Katred! In my mind, she will always be Chloe instead of Khloe She is absolutely gorgeous. My BIL is Greek and American Indian and their kids are all beautiful and have amazing coloring!
I can't believe all of that crap you have to deal with the internet. ! We had someone use our Discover credit card and charged hundreds of dollars. The weird thing -- it was all charged to gas stations. They must have been on quite the road trip. Thank goodness Discover took care of it. Hopefully they will reimburse you!

Elegant -- why did everything you post looked so pretty

. I agree on LM Clementine too, it's a pretty orange-red!

Katred -- So sorry to hear about someone hacking into your home internet. Where exactly did the $500 bill come from? Some purchases using your account? It's also possible the person hacked your computer and put virus/worm to take your data or things that you typed (hence the cc/account data stolen). I and hubs are IT people, so if you have any questions, fire away!
Btw, I saw your 30 days lipstick challenge on your blog. I love what you did so far! My lipsticks aren't even close to 30 yet so I couldn't do what you do .

Nora -- I would definitely give you guys a shout out when it's published! Thank you

HG -- Beautiful ring indeed!! I'm a believer in doing what your heart tells you to do... and marriage is something nobody should get rushed into.


Michelle -- Congrats for your new niece! Yup, I'll bet she'll be as gorgeous as her aunt . I love the name too, Chloe. With a C, not a K .

Cheryl -- That's a wonderful story.. sometimes it's really easy to overlook how lucky we are .
Last Sunday I encountered the Free Hugs people for the first time ever. Of course I take the free hugs... it's kind of sad that the bigger your city, the more wary people get too things like these (I understand why, but still it's sad). PS: I think people should do it more. I love hugs .

Almus -- I'm glad you're alright!! It's so true with the buildings couldn't sustain earthquake here. I can't even imagine if an earthquake magnitude like the one in Tokyo happened here .
Btw, I'm thinking of going to Malaga for vacation, maybe in September though... is it still warm there? Warm enough to swim?

I'm contemplating Rose Platine as well... since MAC's liners seemed to give me allergies on the waterline. But I'm more looking forward to something they called Khaki Platine for Fall... that sounds like a better idea than rose to me... plus it's new fund for fall

I love to read about your shopping as well... I mostly live vicariously through you ladies as well

. At least for now... until either my book or our software project gets published (and get good sales)

 

[Bonitinha]

^^Astrid, I hope your projects go well and your book and software projects make big sales!! That's so fun and very ambitious of you!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Michelle - My first thought was K is for the Kardashians too lol. Well I love the name Chloe.

Cheryl - thanks for the touching story. It reminds me to count my blessings instead of blaming things that are happening to me. The experience at the mall was nasty, he needs to come down to earth and not have his head in the clouds.

almus - good to hear you are safe!

HG - the ring is beautiful! And dragon is stunning on you!

elegant - thanks for the swatch! Enjoy your Clementine!

Astrid - best of luck for your project!

Oh my gosh I made a big mistake

That last pic was LM Berry Sorbet NOT Sweet Cherry as SC arrived today.

Stress did a little number on my brain. I did get SC today & I thought they sent me 2 - thats when I discovered the error of my ways

 

[elegant-one]

Will the REAL Sweet Cherry please stand up

This is Laura Mercier Gel lipstick in Sweet Cherry - forealz *snicker*

This is GORGEOUS!!!! One of THE most beautiful "just right" wearable red lip colors that I own. Its Fab on. I will back this baby up!

I still love my Chanel Monte Carlo & Antigone - but SC is different. Deep color saturation without being heavy or over the top red. It was named perfectly - it is the color of a sweet cherry.

 

[mrslid]

Beautiful!! It took a lot of effort for me to order just one LM Gel lipstick the first time around. I figured I'd better know if I liked the formula first ;-) You are such a temptress though!

 

[Bonitinha]

Elegant -- you are so cute -- I'm sure it has been hard keeping up with your daily deliveries

Thank you for all of your swatches -- they are all beautiful!

I feel so silly. I read Berry & thought it said Cherry the first time. It should have been a give away to my brain when I kept thinking, hmm this has a bit of a pink base (BS) for a cherry ls.

you're such a doll!

 

[Bonitinha]

Well, Berry, Cherry -- they rhyme and sound very similar!! I can't wait to check them out!

I am frantically getting ready for my daughter's party. I have the main table all set up. I was going for Anthropologie style. Dunno if it quite turned out how I imagined:

 

[elegant-one]

Oh Michelle - that is SOOoooo Anthropologie! Its adorable - I want to go to the party

It will be great & lots of fun I'm sure.

LOL on the Berry Cherry

 

[Almus]

It's sooo beautiful Michelle!!! I agree with elegant ... please invite to that party! =D

I believe your daughter will have an amazing time

 

[Bonitinha]

Thanks Ladies

In about 40 minutes I'll have a house full of 12 year old girls. Good thing it is gorgeous outside today and they're going to the park right across the street.
Speaking of Anthropologie, I'm afraid I have developed an unhealthy obsession. I love their dresses and want all of them

Between that and Chanel, I'm doomed . . .

 

[User38]

Adorable Michelle.. wish I was a lil girl at a party again.. lol.

Elegant.. berries/cherries/ all have a way of getting fogged up in our minds when we get to be a certain age.. happens to me all the time, but hey you at least upload pics.. lol.

 

[User38]

C!.. I just read your post about letting Rrrramonnnn burn a hole in your hair.. lmao.

You naughty lady

 

[elegant-one]

Wow - I came here earlier & my AGV virus detector said there was a threat on this page & it blocked it! Holy Cow

Thanks Astrid. The story with the charges is that they far exceeded our monthly allotment for downloads/ bandwidth usage/ uploads. Canada has ridiculously restricted internet access, so we're all capped at fairly low levels and beyond that limit, you pay through the nose. It's a stupid situation all around.

Glad you enjoyed the 30 days of lips! I finally finished it up with my all-time favourite Mac lipstick, Mystic. Which, as with all things I love, is being discontinued. I have an uncanny ability to pick the unpopular choices in any assortment, I swear. What scary is that I could do a few months, without even getting into the glosses. I definitely have a heck of a stash.

I also reread some of the previous posts in this thread and I was happy to see another writer on here (particularly one who does short stories, since that's mostly what I've done)! I'd love to see your writing some time.

Hey cute,

I can't believe I just read this. I am so sorry for not answering before!

Malaga has warm weather almost till November, and when I mean "warm", I am meaning for swimming and going around in summer clothing! Besides, September is the perfect time of the year in my opinion, cause it is not as hot as July or August and well, there are not so many people (the villages at the coast get full every summer,). So it is more quiet for going to do some tourism, shopping or sitting at the beach bars and clubs to enjoy the views while taking something fresh =D

If you come, please let me know if I can help you with anything! I can show you where to buy Chanel at discounted prices

... hehehe.

Good morning of saturday ladies!

Michelle, how did the party go?

Argh, I wouldn't have guessed with the monthly limit!! Yeah, that's really stupid. I don't know if you have done this already, but perhaps you could also check for malwares on your computer. There are some who transmits data without you knowing it.

I love Mystic on you too! My other favorites (on you) are Guerlain Rouge g grenade & MAC Plink!

I'm glad you're a writer too (how come I didn't know this before

) . I don't usually do short stories, so this one is quite challenging for me. We could exchange some stories if you'd like . What genre are you usually writing on?

Wish you all a lovely weekend!

Hi girlies!!!

Michelle, your table is lovely, and I hope the girls had a fabulous time! I know your daughter will always remember THIS birthday! And I'll throw my hat in on the C version of Chloe......

Kate, I hope things get straightened out very soon.....it's so unsettling.........

I ended up back at INGLOT one more time before I left......and the guy was in there again, but one of the other SAs helped me. I don't know if he remembered me from Sunday, but I think he did. I was very cool toward him, and he ended up being somewhat helpful, if a bit snobby about it.

I also wanted to let you know that I got the cutest little trinkets at the MAC Pro store - from the Quite Cute collection - Suzanne gave me these little plastic balls (like from a coin operated toy machine) that had little metal pins and rings - I'll take a pic later (the weather here is very grey today)....very 'cute'! I haven't forgotten about the other pics I promised, so stay tuned!

I also wanted to let you know that I had received a sample tube of the LM tintend foundation (the one that says 'Illuminating') and I have to say I REALLY like it! And I'm quite fussy when it comes to foundation. It really is illuminating without being shiny and over the top - I was pleasantly surprised.

Lastly, I also have LM gel lip color in 'Rosette' on order - I think I'll have almost all of them after that.......
