I'm really liking the Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof liners, there's a dark brown one that stays put really well on my waterline. The brown is called Lionfish, you can get that at Sephora.
Thanks -- I will check this out at my next trip to Sephora!!

Hi ladies!

I'm also not a fan of Feline, I had major issues with this, even when I applied it only on my upper lid. I picked up another UD 24/7 on friday (Michelle, I had mentioned something about a reddish brown colour). It's actually just a metallic rich brown, Bourbon, which is now my favourite liner!

Hi Nora! I pretty much only use Feline on the waterline -- but it gets all in the corners of my eyes, which is not a good look for me!! I'll have to look at Bourbon -- does it look frosty at all?? My stash of black and brown liners is huge -- but I am so picky about the formula!

Welcome Neicy!

Michelle, Bourbon doesn't look frosty, but has shimmer in it. I threw it on today with just a "wash" of eyeshadow and put on some mascara. It defines the eye with a hint of rich brown and for some reason also makes my lashes really stand out!

Alisha, I totally agree about the mornings! I'm always in a rush, but refuse to leave the house with a 'naked' face! I won't buy any more make-up that isn't quick and easy to apply!

I love Bourbon too - one of my go-tos, and the mini version stays in my purse! It's not what I would call 'frosty', but it has more of a 'gleam' I think -

Nora -- that sounds perfect -- always looking for a liner to define my eyes and make my wimpy lashes look thick!

Cheryl -- I like the sound of gleam, rather than frost!

I joined Specktra a while ago, but have been reading posts more lately!

I've been super obsessd with Chanel cosmetics for the past few months, and it's killing me that it's taking forever for the Fall 2011 stuff to launch at my Chanel counter! So much so I had a friend pick up the Prelude quad on a visit to the States (the formula is way better anyways, I'm not a baked shadow fan).

On my must have list are the Illusion d'Ombres shadows in Illusoire and Mirifique, and I'm thinking about Ebloui...

Opinions on Ebloui? I'm fair with green eyes - wondering if it will be too warm? I have been looking for something like Mac PP in Artifact or Benefit Creaseless shadow in Stiletto, both DC. Does Ebloui compare? Thanks everyone!

Oh and a huge rave for Soleil Tan de Chanel. That stuff is MAGIC.

Great to see you posting!!! Welcome & feel right at home with the rest of us who are obsessed.

I have hazel eyes & I love the color of Ebloui - it makes the eye color really pop.

[quote name="kanne" url="/forum/thread/173882/chanel-fall-2011/1710#post_2150604"] Graphite: stunning on, great application...total glitterbomb to remove!!
[/quote] Oh well, kinda expected that. Not that it will keep me from getting it, though. Just a pain to remove and will cost lots of remover to get off. 2 out of 2.5 is not too bad, right? ;)

Oh dear... I'm still tempted, but I hate having to spend all that time getting a polish off... I'll still probably end up getting it. I think we're finally supposed to see this collection here next week...

Lol usually when polishes are hard to remove I tend to be too lazy to put them on knowing I'd be struggling to take it off a few days later! Still getting it though! It's too pretty to pass... XD

Definitely still pick it up, it's stunning. The easiest way I found is to soak a cotton pad and wrap it around your finger and let it soak for awhile and you should hopefully be able to get it off in one swipe.

It's not a hassle to apply either, the glitter covers up any mistakes on application and you only need 2 coats.

hi ladies, I'm not here as much lately but just wanted to report (especially for the Canadian ladies who'v been waiting) that my Bay finally got this collection today :) I picked up the two nail polish i had put on hold, Peridot and Graphite and will go back to check out the rest this weekend (I was in a hurry today). I'm already wearing Peridot and loooooooove it! I have nothing like it and i have over 200 bottles of polish! Even hubby loves it...he likes unique shades like this :)

Will report back when i check out the rest of the collection.
