Chanel lipsticks - Rouge Coco, Rouge Allure, etc.

[Miss QQ]

The one with the red blush? I should be getting it. I've heard that the new iPhone is coming in September here too. I think I should wait for it instead of getting version 4. I'm using 3GS now and I planned to upgrade it in a couple of months but if 5 is coming soon I should wait.

[/quote] I'll be waiting with you. Currently I have a 3G and I love it, but it is too slow with the new iOS.

I keep hearing we won't see a 4G iPhone until 2012.

[/quote] Depends on the definition of 4G I think. The one that is supposed to come out this autumn will be more like a 4S and will HSPA+, 4G won't be in until next year I guess.

MissQQ, I would definitely get Hibiscus Bloom if you are able to - I have all of the LM gels, and love all of them. As others have said, they have longer staying power, and I just really like the formula. I also think that the RCS are overpriced......

I'm waiting for the new iPhone too - I think it's due in September here.......

Saw the brochure for the new Velvets yesterday - oh boy, more lipsticks to lust for........

 

[Winthrop44]

Oooohhhh...tell us about them. Are there a gazillion shades with subtle differences between them or just a handful that will make choosing easier?

 

[Miss QQ]

Yeah tell us about the velvets! Will the LM gel lip colours still be available in the US in July? My co-worker is traveling to Washington and Boston in July and I'm think of getting her to buy Hibiscus Bloom for me. It is so overpriced here.

They're available some places still, but not others. I was in a big Sephora last weekend & they didn't have any & my Nordstroms was sold out of all the shades. But yes, if you can find it, get it

I am trying a new YSL lip balm. The sales girl in Sephora was wearing it so it was sold out that day. It was the prettiest shade of deeper pink. They gave me an out of stock free ship code, so I just ordered it off the website - should get it this week.

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Thanks. I hope the LM l/s will be there next month. What shade is the YSL lip balm in? I'm interested in them.

Maybe I can get my co-worker to buy it for me too, at the airport it is tax free at least. How much is a tube in the US for the LM and the YSL?

 

[Shypo]

The LM gels are $22USD, the YSL $30USD.....

I didn't notice the smell of the KK (and I smell EVERYTHING) - it dissipates quite quickly -

The YSL is Sheer Candy Lip Balm - #4 Succulent Pomegranate
(sheer bright pink with red undertones) yep - $30 us

I wish that I would have also bought the YSL Dewy Papaya (fresh peach) I wished that I could have seen the other colors in person but they didn't have them yet.

The LM were such a great price point. LM Sweet Cherry is such a GORGEOUS perfect cherry red on. Its my 2nd favorite color.

As I recall, and I only got a quick glance at the brochure, there are only about 8-10 velvets (only, she says!). And yes, MissQQ, the mirror is as you describe.

On a different note, I just called Saks in Boston, and 'Jackie' wasn't aware of the Byzance collection - I may call the boutique there and see if they have a clue......

 

[Winthrop44]

Oh that sounds like a much more manageable number than the Shines to decide between. Thanks!

I like that mirror - I see it from time to time on strawberrynet but haven't been able to bring myself to part with the cash for it.

 

[Shypo]

^^ ITA - I think it will be a skip for me. I am interested in the brush set, however. I have one Chanel brush - I think it's #3 - the eye crease brush, and I use it every day. I love it.

 

[Winthrop44]

Do you know which brushes it includes?

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks, Cheryl and elegant, on the prices. The LM l/s have a good price. Over here it is more expensive than Chanel.

Hmm maybe I can get my coworker to pick up 2 of them.

I can't decide on which other than HB at the moment.

cheryl - lol at your avatar.

elegant - I'm adding Sheer Candy Lip Balm - #4 Succulent Pomegranate in my list!

winthrop - I saw the mirror in real before. Wanted it but in the end not enough to part my money for it too. I bought one from Anna Sui, the LE white one with a rose a both sides.

 

[Shypo]

^^ When I saw those undies they made me laugh......very silly, but what the heck. Sometimes silly is good.

 

[Poupette]

I just tried the Bonheur and it's lovely. It looks as little dark in the tube and kinda plummy, but on the lips it's a fresh deep rose color, as if you've just had a loooong makeout session.

BF loves it too, haha.

 

[alexandrapalaci]

I love the formula of the RC... they are one of the best i have tried.

If the LM are cheaper for us, why are they more expensive than Chanel - that doesn't make sense?

My YSL should be here today. I was going to say that I will take pics of it - but without my laptop I'll have to figure out how to do it with the Mac

You know, I cannot believe this - I bought that Chanel Mirror like 15 minutes before I learned that it would be available here in the states

I got it from my Singapore connection. I wanted that mirror for so long. Actually, I needed a mirror in my purse & it had to be Chanel
