Chanel Spring 2012 collection

[Miss QQ]

I never considered lasik but I'm open. Who knows what I will feel 10 years on, or even in a few years time. I have astigmatism too and lately it has bothered it quite a bit. I find lights glaring.

HG - Your glasses are hot! I want rhinestone encrusted frames too!

FYI, just read on MUA that some Macy's already have the Spring collection out. I'll be holding out for when it releases at my Nordies since my SAs are so good to me.

^^ Oh that's interesting! Way early! Starts stalking the blush...........

Edit: ok, the stuff is supposed to ship from France on Dec 5th. My SA says that means it will be there maybe by year-end (I guess it has to go to the NJ warehouse before it goes to the store). I did a pre-sell for the blush, the pink single e/s, the stylo yeux which sounds beautiful, and the May np. I'm holding off on the RCS.

She also had the sheet for Summer 2012 and was reading some of it to me - there's going to be another striped blush, a quad, a duo of browns, a copper-ish eyeliner, the blue jeans polishes, and the baumes! When I get more detail, I'll pass it along!

I din't see it at my Macy's but, I am going to be on the lookout. Usually my Neiman's and Saks gets the collections first.

The spring collection out in December? Crazy! Lol!

The blue jeans polishes again? That sounds strange. I hope the brown duo is gorgeous!

Well that settles the issue on the blush coloring/pics we were debating about a bit ago, LOL. Cautiously optimistic about the quad and duo, and copper-ish eyeliner? I'm there!

I thought RCB was one color (clear)? There's going to be colors? Then what's the difference between the Baumes and Shines then?

 

[katred]

I'll be curious to see whether this is one of the collections we get a month earlier or two months later than everyone else. I'm guessing it will be later, since we tend to get seasonal collections after the US but product launches (Shines, Velvets) a week or two before.

 

[Shypo]

I'm pretty sure the RC Baumes are going to be colors....and I'm guessing they really won't be shiny so much as moisturizing......but that's a total guess.

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ you got to hear about the summer collection already! Strange about the blue jeans nail polishes. Are they leftover stocks lol. I saw that my Chanel studio still had stocks two weeks ago. They aren't sell outs for sure.

Hmm, probably more of a stain effect on the lips then? *is suddenly intrigued*

I swear if any company makes a matte lippy with the consistency/feel of a lip balm I'll buy eleventy BILLION.

I love Blue Rebel so, I am happy about the polishes.

does anybody know if we are going to get the quad in the usual US formula with square pans?

All promo pics I saw had the round pans only so I am worried.

Pixiwoo do have a swatch of Tigerlily eyeshadow. I cannot believe we have 2012 soon. lkram, I think you will get your usual quads as in the past the promos often had the Euro pans as well. Someone mentioned that at some point everyone would get the Euro formula, but I have no idea when that day is.

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ thanks for the link. Tigerlily is pretty but orange won't look good on me. I just purchased Spices quad yesterday! It is repromoted in this holiday collection and I couldn't resist it anymore. I think it will go well with this spring collection too.

 

[Winthrop44]

Someone on MUA who got the spring blush at Macys says it is similar to Illamasqua Hussy & the texture is very silky.

 

[Ikram]

Tiger Lily appreas too warm orange. I expectel more of a cooler pastel shade, like the nail polish.

How are you liking Spices? I remember it looked so similar to the summer Armani quad (that I didn't get, but looked gorgeous). I held off on the Armani one because Spices is perm here. Let me know if it is a must have!

Oh, I have Illamasqua's Hussy and it is VERY pretty! The thing is maybe I don't need too similar blushes and if so, I can splurge on other products from the collection and other brands (hello Guerlain, I am looking at you!)

Yes, it is probably too warm for me too.

Oh no, I am not listening

You are *not helping here I only have one blush from Illamasqua and I am not a huge fan to be honest.
