I bought Orchid Rose a few weeks ago and love it. I think it's one of those colors that goes with just about anything.
Chanel Joues Contraste blushes
- Thread starter wild child
- Start date
I have Narcisse and never use it - I had not considered pairing it with Imprevu....I don't have that one but will see what it's all about......
Fresque is sort of light on me - I have to build it. I may in fact return it, but I do want to love it - I love the pink glow in it! I'll have to keep using it and see.......
I posted on one of the other Chanel threads.....if anyone runs across Turbulent, I would love a heads-up - that is my one big regret - but somehow I missed its release. Must have been occupied with another brand at the time........
TY!!

Now that I have been drawn over to the dark side and am wearing JC Rose Petale for the first time, I love it and am amazed at how pigmented the Chanel blushes are. I am also looking for some softer colours and a baby pink one. I looked at the online store and Pink Explosion is not listed. Sniff...sniff... Any other JC suggestions for this pale NW15 Chanel fanatic?

Have you already tried/bought Espiegle? It's peachy pink, soft and very pretty:

You might also give Orchid Rose a try. It was originally described as a nude rose. There are no baby pink ones, wish there were. I think the Euro version of Narcisse maybe came closest?

Thank you! I will have to try and get to a counter again and play, though Nordstrom sometimes doesn't have all the available colours and it gets frustrating! I keep peeking at swatches online by various people. I so wanted a bubblegum kind of pink which always looks flattering on me!

I would love a bubblegum pink JC too, and also one like MAC's Breath of Plum, but for some reason Chanel doesn't seem to like colors like that for JCs.
I've noticed that! I have to be careful, probably like you, as we are both pale! I find a lot of the JC blushes were a bit too red, or orange/brown on me. Even the lady at the counter was surprised that colours she thought would look good on me came out orange. I need to keep it cool. Isn't Breath of Plum wonderful? I just recently bought it while making up several blush palettes. Love it!
Thank you! I will check it out!!

So I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that the problem I'm having with the JCs is not staying power but that they don't show up. >_< Out of the current perm line only Imprevu shows up substantially. I really wanted to be in love with In Love but it was nothing but a sheen on me. My fave Chanel SA (who's been with them forever) told me that unfortunately JCs that would've been perfect for me, Horizon and Fantasia, are DC'd. BAH! Time to scour evilbay I guess.
On a positive note, swatched Rose Tourbillon and it seems to be pigmented enough to show up on me, but I'm reserving judgement until it's on my face and not my arm. Have an appointment with my SA next Thursday so we'll see.

Saks online has Fandango. Is that maybe a deeper one?

I'd honestly have to see it in person to determine that. :/ It looks REALLY pretty though. Here it looks darker/deeper than Imprevu, which is lovely on my skin, so...hmmm.
