Chanel Holiday 2011

[elegant-one]

Haven - you got the gold eyeshadow. How does it look on? I thought it was so pretty in person & I have nothing else like it. Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow.

I wonder if Nordies will have that bag online. If they do maybe I will order the velvets from there. Its so nice that they have free shipping now.

Winthrop - I am having a senior moment & cannot think of the brand of the thin eyeliner you mentioned

Hi dear Michelle

I just called NM about my BL eyeshadow & they said they never received their shipment on the 10th so she cancelled it but told me to keep the GWP because it wasn't my fault. Just ordered it from Chanel.

^^ Le Metier de Beaute. Cafemakeup reviewed it awhile ago:

Hmmm, I thought the lip bags would arrive with the Holiday stuff.

Elegant -- bummer that they didn't get the shipment in. Did you get a bag with your GWP? I love those little patent bags!

I must get my hands on the Harrod's exclusive RA Belgaria. I saw the photo of Liz wearing it on CafeMakeup today. I wonder if they will ever bring it to the US??

 

[elegant-one]

I should have never ever gone there to look

We must unite and figure out a way to get it! The pink powder, the pink l/s . . .

 

[Bonitinha]

No, I just tried doing a search to see if I could find if anyone mentioned ordering it last year so I could check the date but didn't come up with an answer.

I remember my husband got me the lip bag last year for Christmas, so I wonder if it came out late? I think I had it in my cart and left the web page up to make it easy for him to order LOL

 

[Winthrop44]

I like that technique Michelle!

Amy tweeted a pic of all 3 Harrods lipsticks the other day. Here it is:

I can't stand it you guys - I look like this --------->

That powder...& now those lipsticks! NOooooooo

Michelle, I did that once on my laptop, but he never noticed

I wish we could order ANYTHING that Chanel makes anywhere from chanel.com. That would solve our problem....& then find a money tree

Oh, Michelle you should get a sample of the Estee Lauder Pore Minimizer & be sure its the new formula (not sure they even sell the older one anymore). I just got my order yesterday from Nordies. It makes the skin look flawless & silk-like

 

[Winthrop44]

I wonder why Harrods will sell the blush but not the lipsticks online. I wouldn't do it anyway personally because I've heard that some people had problems with outrageous customs fees.

 

[QueenOfSnark]

Ohh, the three lippies look gorgeous! Though Hyde Park looks like a slightly lighter Flamboyante to me. Belgravia = LOVE, since I'm on a shimmery lipstick kick lately. Maybe we should move this to its respective thread? I have a feeling the discussion will blow up once Cafemakeup posts more on these.

On another note, that Le Metier eyeliner is catching my eye. Fashioned after fine writing instruments? VERY YES. One of my other obsessions is fountain pens, so that makes me automatically want to get this. Been needing a new liquid eyeliner...

 

[Bonitinha]

I can't tell you how many times I do the put it in the cart and let my hubs buy it for my birthday or Christmas. I've even emailed him links to things I like. I'm subtle like that

Oh Gail -- that picture of the Harrods RAs just did me in . . . I really hope they bring it here like they did Joyeuse with the Asia collection (although I bought Joyeuse on Ebay for a small fortune!!)

Elegant -- I know, they should really offer all collections on Chanel.com. Hello, they would make a killing!! And yes, I'm still waiting for that money tree . . . ha!
I am going to the mall this week -- I will have to get a sample of the pore minimizer for sure! Flawless and silk like -- need!

QueenofSnark -- yes, we always seem to get off topic! LOL So many beautiful distractions

That is so cute Michelle - they can always use the info to help them figure it out

I just put on Famous ls & hubs walked up to give me a smooch but looked at my lips & said oh, you have (what he calls) lipperschtick on

I said yes, but it has gold shimmer in it.

Still lusting after those ls & blush.

Hopefully Chanel release the collection in the US and release the Le Blanc collection here in the UK! I'm still kicking myself for not CP-ing Pink Tourbillin!

The 3 lipsticks and blush are gorgeous although I've yet to use the blush!

 

[Winthrop44]

I think PT might be perm or at least still available in Asia?

 

[Bonitinha]

Elegant -- "lipperschtick" -- I love it. My husband loves to un-do my lipstick, too. Funny men.

Alisha -- so exciting you got your hands on the Harrods collection! That's it, we're all moving to the UK to get this collex . . .

I had to go run errands and still haven't gotten the blush and Belgravia off of my mind (le sigh)

 

[shontay07108]

I wore Sweet Beige today over Mac's Boldly Bare liner and I loved it. Really beautiful. I wore Enivree yesterday and it was awesome, too. You guys just don't know when my lip color is popping my whole day is better. I am loving these two products.

 

[Bonitinha]

^^Yay -- I love them, too!!

 

[elegant-one]

Shontay!!!! Thats awesome. I will try that too with Boldly Bare. I'm sure theres a gazzillion things it looks great with.

Its such a wonderful collection.I'm still wearing Famous

 

[shontay07108]

:cheer: for red lips! I think I have a lifetime supply of red lips. I have banned myself from another. :lol: I can't get over how perfect Enivree is. Even when I bought it I was afraid it wouldn't show on my pigmented lips, but it does. It's so, so gorgeous. I feel festive when I put it on because of the way it shimmers. I just love this collection. I think it'll be my favorite Holiday collection. Everything else seems blah in comparison. Edit to spell the lipstick correctly. Enivree not Enviree. Boy, Chanel and Nars with the names they give. I always feel stupid trying to spell and pronounce them. :haha:

I was afraid of the same thing with my very pigmented lips but it works & its so beautiful on. That gold shimmer is done to perfection.I cannot get enough reds, corals & pinks

I agree its one of my favorite ever collections. Spelling any of the names is just taxing to me
