Chanel Spring 2012 collection

The swatches of the blush are so gorgeous!! I love her tutorials -- I wish I could perfect the winged liner like her!

Does she not look just GORGEOUS in the still of her for the Megan Fox look

Wow, I loved that.

I can only do that semi, not as dramatic wing liner using the BB gel liner & thin edged liner brush & not look weird. Mine is much more conservative.

Crazy Chanel.com messed up somehow & duplicated one of my orders. I'm glad that order only contained 1 lipstick. I wish you could just go in & cancel it yourself. CS says shipping has to get an email to cancel it huh!? brother. I did catch it first thing this morning so I hope they catch it before it ships. They are shipping super fast. My blush & lipstick & np are already on their way.

Oh wow, yes, she looked amazing in the Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie tutorials. Yeah, I can't pull off that dramatic of a wing (especially like today when I am volunteering in my daughter's classroom -- LOL) -- I wish I could get my line so crisp and clean!

Yes, I think colored baumes will come later on. I guess they have to include something different but so far Chanel isn't doing a very good job of telling us what.

What! No Amy Winehouse eyes for the classroom

Winthrop -

the macys chanel lady called me just a bit ago & absolutely could not describe Jasmine - OR the 2 lip pencil colors other than the fact that the pinky coral one is really pretty

Well that cinches me getting it. :3 And now I'm comfortable in saying I'm only getting Tiger Lily from the Spring 2012 collection. I have enough items from various other brands that I can comfortably dupe the other items I would've wanted. Also since I have Hyde Park and Exotic Rouge Allures coming my way that covers my coral lippy needs for a bit. The only thing still tempting is Superstition RC but I think I can make due with my tube of MAC Touch until an equivalent RA shade is released.

*crosses fingers that more RAs are released for Bombay Express in June and for the Fall/Holiday 2012 collections*

That just struck me so weird Fall/ Holiday 2012!!!!!!! Maybe I'll just leave my Christmas tree up if time is going that fast

LOL at the rate we're going already (Spring already before Christmas?!) we may very well get Fall in the spring and Holiday during the summer. >_>

According to my wonderful Chanel MUA at Nordstrom I learned that they will probably have the collection tomorrow and absolutely no later than this Friday. I did a small pre-order of things that I would be devastated to miss: the blush, Tiger Lilly, Grenat e/l and Jasmin powder. The rest I will have to "test drive" when I can actually see and play with them.

Elegant, which of the Kensington lipsticks do you have/love? I am leaning towards Hyde Park.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I need to hear about Rose de Mai eyeshadow. I think it looks lovely, so let us know about it. Great haul - enjoy!

Yes, I'd like to hear more about the pink shadow too.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I just got my Chanel.com order in a few days ago with the mirror and Blazing Gold and now it's time to order again. Hmm. . . . For once I wouldn't have minded waiting for an after Holiday launch. I need to start buying presents for my family instead of myself.

I have Belgravia which I LOVE! Its a medium brighter but soft rose pink pink (if that makes sense). Hyde Park is on its way but it looks like it will be lovely. I was just thinking of BU Belgravia because its such a lovely every day wearable classy pink. I have Super, but I'm still tempted by Kensington.

Are you getting the Brompton Blush? I'm seriously considering Jasmine but I really need more info on it. so if you see it let us know.

 

[mac_aiken]

I would love to have the Brompton blush but it will have to wait until the end of the month. I bought the MAC GP Elude compact as my splurge for this month. BTW love it!

I decided not to get Kensington because I have Super. I am stuck between Hyde Park and Belgravia. May go with Belgravia first since I can easily wear that to work. Let me know what you think of Hyde Park.

I didn't see you post about Elude, so I am really happy to hear that. Yes, it was a splurge but very nice. I think if you want an everyday classy pink go with Belgravia but if you like more of a pink coral then maybe HP. My pick - Belgravia

I have never ever been so weird about a blush

For me, the Brompton Blush is like the Holy Grail of blushes in color & looks

like it should be in a fancy glass case with a lock & key so I can just stare at it

Almost like a collectors item in its own right.

Man, I cannot wait to get this blush! I wish I would get the shipping confirmation email already!!

 

[Bonitinha]

I haven't been able to track down more swatches of Charme (other than Best things in beauty). I am dying to see what it looks like . . .

Just give me some kind of color description. She has been really nice, but...

I thought you would love reading the Holy Grail comment They are shipping fast, however, they also had tech glitches. Fortunately mine got fixed before it shipped. I always wonder if they look at my order history & think...lady, please...why can't you just order everything at one time

I just checked my tracking for the blush etc. & it will be here Wed. - so 2 day shipping!

 

[MaryJane]

What about the lip liners - anybody??? Are they both new? I thought Rose Corail was already launched before. Maybe the names are just running together

From what I understand, both liners are new. I bought Rose Corail and it is a bright (but very wearable) rose-coral. I wore this with just bagatelle liner over it and it looked really pretty. It also goes with with Paradis lipstick.

Just ordered April np

cause, I just noticed that in my shopping cart at Nordies, it says the nps are no longer available.

hmmm
