Chanel Fall 2011

Very pretty indeed! Epatant doesn't look like total glitterbomb on you as it did on me--I'm so jealous. :3

 

[purrtykitty]

Oh, that's Illusore that I used, not Epatant...my Epatant hasn't arrived, yet. I did find that going over the shadow with a blender brush once you have it blended out softens it a bit, and reduces the shimmer-factor, so you might try that.

Hi Karin! Good to see you here again. You are beautiful! Did you use the liner as a base? Does it hold up well?

Cheryl - You look great! I agree with the ladies, love your hair and Plumetis is beautiful on you.

Queenofsnark - wow you are pretty! You are right, the colours are much softer on the face than in the pans for the Byzance items.

Lou - thanks for the colour story!

Has anyone gotten the nail polishes? What do you think of them? Is quartz unique and something that you can wear when you want colour but not something too bright/bold?

 

[Shypo]

^^ Miss QQ I got Quartz, but haven't tried it on yet - it's VERY neutral, and metallic, so I think it would be a good everyday color...I haven't swatched/tried it yet - it's too 'autumn'-toned for me right now to think about , but I can swatch it tomorrow to give you an idea of how sheer it is -

 

[Rinstar]

I want Khaki Platine now too... Can this be worn on the waterline?

woah, you go and sleep and come back to pages full of beautiful girls. Cheryl, I love, love, love your hair and colour. Seriously. And your makeup is amazing as well, but, can I borrow your hair a while? Queen, that red lipstick is woah, I love the whole look and it really suits you, no wonder you are thinking about a backup. Hi Karin, great to see you again You made me look at another eyeshadow now and I see your hair is darker again.

I am soooo jealous! You ladies do so many great looks. I am sold on Illusoire even more after Karin's pictures (love them! and love to see you around ^^).

 

[Miss QQ]

Ladies, is Chintz much peachier than Plumentis or are they close? Do you prefer Chintz or Plumentis, for those who have both. I saw the review of Prelude on cafemakeup - wow, very pretty! Best of all it is a cool, neutral quad. It is what I have been searching for!

everybody who has posted a picture looks beautiful! thanks so much for sharing

i am wearing my topkapi quad today and the byzance lippie. the quad is so pretty. the shadow textures are so soft and so pigmented. i'm very impressed and hope that they last a 10 hour day at work on me! the lipstick is actually what is impressing me the mosdt. i love the packaging with the spring up lipstick. very classy! and the sparkles in the lipstick are simply beautiful when the light hits my lips! thsi is such a pretty summery colour but i bet it will work during the winter months too. i used mac cranapple liner as a base and this seems to match quite well too. i will do a fotd blog post very soon using these items so have't really got any good pictures yet. but here is one i took on my phone this morning



please ignore my crazy frizzy hair! i always just tie it back and leave it natural for work!

Cheryl, Karin, Lou, such beautiful looks!!

Lou, I love that Byzance lippie on you, very sophisticated looking

[Miss QQ]

Lou - Very classy and sultry. Love it! Are you wearing the red blush too?

 

[Anneri]

[/quote] You all look gorgeous!! I love the way this pallette really compliments all skin tones . Im still quite new and not brave or photogenic enough to put a picture up to show how it looks on darker skin tones hehehe!

I think Fall is going to be released on July 31 here in Australia. I'm seriously considering putting in an order at my counter, I love everything.

At the moment I'm thinking about picking up Etole, Khaki Platine, Graphite and Emerveille. I've seen swatches on Sabrina's quad, but do people think Emerveille compares to the peachy colour in the Spring quint? I love that colour and am terrified of running out of it! In any case, it seems similar to Vintage Selection from Champale looking at Cafe Makeup swatches, and I would have picked that up apart from all the issues with the quality of that collection.

Sorry to ask a question which I imagine has already been answered but could anyone tell me, what are the options for getting hold of things from the Byzantine collection in the UK? Are any of the department stores stocking it? Can you get hold of it online anywhere?

Selfridges in London, not sure about anywhere else, probably just the boutiques.

Question about the new cream eyeshadows, are they permanent? Trying to save money but they look gorgeous. I have 4 on my list

Other than that, I want to get Peridot and Graphite polishes, khaki palatine and the quad. Semi Precious has seemed to lure me in and I don't want it to

 

[Anneri]

Yes they are!
