For the promotion, we are allowed to mix with other brands of cosmetics. So I checked with the cashier and was told I couldn't get the promotion at $1 short. lol. I planned to go to the store again today but in the end I didn't as I couldn't justify buying other random things just to top up. The Byzance items I bought were from another store as the collection was exclusive to that newly refurbished chanel beauty boutique. We have 2 chanel beauty boutiques now! IL quint was a major disappointment for me, far too warm for my liking. Good luck, hope you got to finish all the cleaning you planned!
I just got back from Nordie's - I was a bad girl. Got a number of items from Surf Baby (yes, Hibiscus among them!), 3 Guerlain lipsticks (2 KissKiss and 1 RA), and did a pre-sell on the Chanel Fall collection - it's coming out June 23rd! Yay!!
I also tried the Armani lipglosses, and found them to be not very pigmented, and way too sticky for my liking, so those are a pass. Guess I'll 'stick' to the ETKI as my go-to product from GA.......
Now if I can just figure out when the Byzantine collection is coming out.......
Almost 50 pages!!!!

I'm SO excited about the imac now - we just did what's called FaceTime - we can call our son & DIL on the computer & get to see them while we're chatting!!!
He even held the dog up for us to see. How cool is that.
C - that is awesome about the Chanel - is there a GWP or not with this collection? I thought that collection was launching in July?

Hello ladies,
I am terribly busy lately but I don't forget about the Chanel ratonas
Cheryl, you are so lucky! I haven't even seen the summer collection yet in here! (I believe it is on the counters yet, but well, no time for shopping lately). I hope you enjoy your goodies, and show them to us as soon as you get them ... let the lemming begin!
elegant - wow an imac! I am a total Mac-lover. I have an iphone and a white macbook of myself, and besides I work with a 27'' iMac. Facetime is the greatest tool ever and it works very good (poor Skype ...).
I don't have much time left before starting to work. I am wishing everyone a good Monday (if that's even possible, lol!) and see you soon!

^^ Hi! Busy with the furnishings? Hope you managed to get most of the things up before you start work. See you here again soon.
Cheryl - sounds like you have fun. What is the RA you bought? Do you have Champs-Elysees? The model is wearing it in the promo pic.
elegant - so fun and sweet. I haven't try facetime before. Is it something we have to download and install?

Hi Almus!! Glad you were able to stop by, if only for a bit - how is the new apartment coming along? You must be so excited!
MissQQ, I got Rose Bengale - it is so pretty on. I'm still waffling on Bloom of Rose and Cherry Blossom, but I think I'm gonna cave soon and get one or the other of them.......
I thought I was finished shopping for summer makeup....and I think I finally am........I'm hoping I'm not too distracted by the new MAC collections coming out (Semi-precious) - but that hasn't seemed to be an issue in general lately!
On my current list are Chanel Vitalumiere (LOVE this foundation!!), a new mascara (either GA Eyes to Kill, or Lancome Hypnose Drama), and that Asia-exclusive Chanel Roses powder........which will probably never happen. And then there's the Byzance collection, which I'm still trying to get information on regarding launch dates.
After reading the posts in the Fall collection forum, I'm wondering if the 'event' that a couple of the girls were referring to is the launch that my store will have on June23rd? There seems to be a lot of discrepancy on the dates - perhaps Nordies/Chanel are doing a 'rolling' launch - different stores, different dates? Who knows. I can't wait to see Rose Ecrin!

She says in that final post that she just doesn't have the time. She removed all the old content too, which is unfortunate.

Sad. I really do understand the time element to keeping up with a site like that.

Elegant -- you are making me want to run out and get Facetime to add to my computer. So fun!! What a wonderful way for you to keep in contact with your son and DIL!
And bummer to Cafe Makeup being no more. I'm sure it is very time consuming . . . and there is probably a lot of burnout. But I will miss her pictures and reviews!
Almus -- good to hear from you! Hope all is well in your corner!

Cheryl - Rose bengale is beautiful. Enjoy yours!
elegant - lol the dog is so funny! iTunes is not accessible in my country. We can't buy anything off it. Luckily I don't need to connect with anyone very far from me at the moment. Yeah the jetsons shows all the weird techy things heehee!
Very sad that makeupcafe is gone, together with all the contents. The pics and reviews are amazing. I only discovered it last year, through the chanel thread, so my experience was short but addictive.

Ok, I think that is really odd that you cannot access itunes? That's a shame.

Hi ladies!!!
This is completely off-topic, but here goes! I've missed you all so much! The past few weeks have been insane, but I need to catch everyone up!
I've been supply teaching almost everyday, completing my French AQ course (which is a CRAZY amount of work - my last project was 45 pages, not even counting the previous homework or the near daily postings and activities!), and most recently, I have my convocation - I am officially a Master of Child Study and Education, and I am waiting for my teaching license to be conferred once all the documentation like transcripts have been sent in! I am also conducting research, developed a French curriculum for the summer camp I am running in July, and tutoring! (Sorry, no idea why that's italicized!) I have quite literally been busy from 6 to 11 every night, including weekends. Today is my first day "off", and I'm exhausted! Still no news on the job front, but hopefully we hear something by the end of June!
I also have some bigger news......
JEROME AND I ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!
He proposed after our convocation on Thursday in the very spot that we met (one of the classrooms on orientation), which was so sweet, with our parents waiting to see my reaction to the good news! I was a wreck (I started bawling when he got down on one knee, and then I said yes before he asked the question, and then I forgot to let him put on the ring! lol), but I did get a couple of good pictures of the ring and from our convocation, which I will post later. For now though, here's the ring!
I hope everyone's well and happy!
