This thread has exploded, and this can mean only one thing :) Velvets are finally available for you guys :) Hope everyone will be enjoying their purchases.

There is a lip bag with Sparks in it?! Where can I find it? That gloss was the first thing that caught my attention in Elegant's photos, lol! And I'm not even a gloss person, really! Looks like I've just reserved myself a seat on that bandwagon heading to makeup junkie hell.

HG and jmarie....are you saying La Ravissante looked yellowish or that it pulled out the yellow tones in your skin?

With all the praise Spark is getting, I may have--ok, who am I kidding--will have to check it out and also that lip bag set that includes the shade! How does the texture and/or feel of Chanel's velvets, compare to MACs mattenes?

Well, here is it. #34, La Raffinee. It's not quite as bright in person, but this is a pretty decent job of capturing it. I love it. It applies smoothly and it doesn't dry my lips out. I chose it because it kinda reminded me of Mehr by Mac. It's a bit pinker and maybe a little darker, but it's the same family. I wanted something similar but not as dry. Mission accomplished. I can't wait for La Ravissante. I would love to buy another, but the other colors either don't excite me or I don't need it. I refuse to buy another red lipstick!

I love the Mattenes but the RA Velvets are superior in my opinions. They are not drying at all (mattenes are just slightly drying) and also the Chanels are much longer lasting. I'm a fan or matte lips so I have collected a few from different brands but none that have the same incredible satiny feeling of the RA velvets.

I need to finally review these on my blog. I usually like to wait for a couple of weeks after purchase and wear/testing before I can do a better review and I think this week is it.

Very pretty Shontay -- love it!


Elena -- the holiday lip bags are on the Chanel site: http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/Makeup-Lipgloss-LES-DEUX-LÈVRES-SCINTILLANTES--122583
I don't know if they are selling them at counters internationally?
I really want that bag :)

I lost my Gardenia RC. I brought it to work yesterday but couldn't find it when I got home. It's not in my makeup bag or my big bag, and I'm back at my desk and I still can't find it. :( This is the first lipstick, first makeup, I lost. :(

Look forward to reading your review!



Shontay - La Raffinee is gorgeous on you! It's more rose on me, but I like it too. It's so universally flattering.

Sonu -- my husband doesn't quite get my makeup addiction either, but he is so used to it and knows it makes me happy. Now he is like, "so what have you ordered from Chanel?"

Speaking of Debi & thinking of her np nightmare...when I was at the Macy's Chanel counter Sunday, the crazy chanel lady started opening up like 5 bottles of nail polish & started painting swatches onto tape. And then when I was ready to check out, I look down & right in front of me was one of the bottles open with the cap just barely resting on the top

I could have been Debi! So I told her Debis story in a nutshell...she quickly grabs the bottles (i had already put the loose cap back on the one) and moves them waaay out of the way behind some display.

The funny thing was that she put the tape swatches over the stylus that goes onto the credit card reader & I couldn't pick it up to sign my name so she had to pull them all up messing them up on the tape

Shontay that looks so lovely on you. I think everyone should own at least Raffinee.

I didn't get Caline...yet. I thought about that AFTER I placed my order. Maybe I will wait to see how Winthrop likes it on her lips ;)

Can you believe that with the nailpolish...geesh.. When I was at the grocery store last week, the checkout girl in the checkout behind me went to put a jar of spaghetti sauce into a plastic bag & the jar slipped through it & onto the floor

FORTUNATELY for me (& her) it did not break! I was wearing my favorite jeans & sandals. ugghhh That could have been a very very bad day.

^^ Sorry you lost Emoi, it's such a beautiful colour! I almost bought it once but it was out of stock then. How long ago did you lose it? I guess if you don't look for it, hopefully one day it will turn up by itself.

elegant - Phew! It is a good day then! The chanel lady sounds nutty lol. Why would anyone put the tape on the stylus?

cause she's crazy. I guess she couldn't find any place else to stick the tape to

Any time I lose something, it seems to be right in front of me but for some reason I just cannot see it until I have torn the house apart for a couple of days. They do seem to turn up eventually. I love Emoi

I think I lost it right before I went to Italy. I know I didn't take it with me there so it should be somewhenere in the house. But who knows where in this big house :(
