Chanel Spring 2012 collection

[ElvenEyes]

Hmmm...I got free shipping, but I didn't see a code to put in and though I was not charged for any shipping fee it states UPS ground, not overnight. And I was hoping I might get it tomorrow or Saturday. Drats.

^^ Did you maybe have a np in your order? They can't ship np overnight, only by ground, as it's considered a hazardous material.

^^ Debi -- Oh darn it!! The Chanel site is so tricky -- when you check out -- you have to click on "Overnight" or "2 day" or whatever promotion they are offering (in the dropdown menu for shipping). If they are offering it for free, then it will come up as $0.00 for the shipping.
I think it will just ship ground if you don't specifically click overnight.
I don't think there was a code for the overnight shipping -- it was supposed to give it to you automatically. But I think you had to click on the "overnight" shipping for it to work. If that makes sense!
I figured this all out after a few times of figuring out how to make all of the promotions work!

 

[ElvenEyes]

I guess time will tell! I did do the dropdown menu and all it offered was 0.00 for shipping, but I didn't see any place where it said overnight. Oh, well. Let's see what they do with it. I won't be wearing my backups or that n/p between now and Christmas anyhow, so I guess I can live! I mostly just wanted the free shipping and I got that! A good excuse to get my 2 desired backups and the 3rd nail polish so that I will have the trio! Such is life!

Yep! Gosh, nail polish. Oooh, Hazardous. You would think it were a bomb. Okay! That probably explains it. But they still better give me the pretty box!!

 

[Ingenue]

Thanks Ladies for the compliments! You guys are wonderful.

 

[Bonitinha]

Ahh, good to know about the nail polish Gail!

 

[Ingenue]

I'm pretty yellow myself, so I'm thinking maybe my counter's tester quad probably didn't have the best pigmentation. Plus I only swatched it on my arm, it might be totally different on my eyes. I'll try Eclosion out again just to be sure.

Oh yeah... that might make a difference. My arm swatches weren't that pigmented either... BUT I swatched with just one swipe and I used the provided sponge-tip applicators to do it.

I use a brush with my regular shadow application, so that might have made a difference.

The np is hazardous - to our wallets

I loaded up a couple of things in my cart but didn't order anything - today that is. I did finally order Clair ep the other day.

Michelle - no one can figure out why I am not getting the Chanel promo emails - its driving me crazy

I even signed up again. Its in my address book, I get order confirmations & ship notices, its not a filter blocking it & they can see my correct email address on their side. I used to get them about a year ago. Maybe I will email their tech support

Thanks for the compliment Elveneyes... love your pic too ( I meant to comment earlier... Boo to me)! That's By Terry's new Rouge Shimmer Terrybly in Kiss Me Quick. It's like a pinky plum.

That lipstick looks amazing on you, but then we already establishes that everything does look amazing on you

I got my Knightsbridge goodies last night around 7 pm.  UPS was running late.  Everything looks wonderful!  I tried the brompton blush today.  I love the color but not the glitter.  This product gives a whole new meaning to the word glitterbomb!  I only used a little product from the edges to avoid the CC's, and glitter was everywhere.  It looks amazing untouched in the pan, but it took me a while using brushes and concealer to tone down the glitter.  As much as I would hate to do it, I am contemplating brushing off all of the glitter before I use it again. I was going to try all of the lip products this morning, but once I put on Hyde Park I didn't want to take it off.  Amazing color!  Definately backup worthy!  I love this color! Just when I thought that I was done with Chanel.com for a while, the free overnight shipping is tempting me to buy backups....  Must be strong! I also bought Naked 2 and love it.  I signed up for an alert from Urban Decay and was able to purchase it while it was briefly in stock about a week ago.  I agree that between the 2 naked palettes, you will end up with almost all of the neutrals that you need. I have read rumors that UD is going to be releasing a third neutral palette that has primarily matte shadows.  I hope that these rumors turn out to be true. Ingenue:  Very pretty look! Elven eyes:  Chanel polishes really don't last long on my nails either.  I did bite the bullet & purchase both the Chanel base & top coats.  Believe it or not, these products do seem to extend the wear of the polish on my nails.  I apply each product & wait about 20 minutes before applying the next - have to be sure that something good is on TV while waiting for everything to dry - and I have been getting 2x the wear that I used to get.  Yes that is only about 4-5 days, but it is better than 2.

Well, we are picky about overspray, we love and we don't Hope you get to enjoy your blush. The neutral palette with mostly matte colors sounds great, hope it's true.

If you get the chance -- you should give it a look.  It is a good deal for the price!

As soon as get to look it at, I will. I learned to appreciate those easy palettes.

Ingenue - that is beautiful on you ! It really makes your eyes stand out. Michelle - there's nothing left to order at chanel.com - I bought it all.:haha: I Since they cannot figure out why I am not getting their emails, I did not get that ship code So what is the code - just in case :haha: Never mind - I see it on the site MissQQ - I thought it might be a bit too shimmery for me, but your right, using shadow on top makes that less apparent. I was wondering about Cascade because I saw it somewhere. Merry Christmas, Happy Everything!!! Love you all! :santa2:   :cheers:

:lol: Merry Christmas and a happy new Chanel goodie year to you all too!

Oh, I hope that due to the holidays you get your package much faster than you think. Plus backups can take their time, right?

I have decided to pass on the free shipping and order backups later. Hopefully I won't regret it. After all I just got my first Knightbridge haul last night. Must show some self control! LOL

 

[ElvenEyes]

Now I am staring down the road, waiting... Mr. UPS man has not arrived in our neighbourhood yet today. This time of year things get delivered up through 9pm. They stop at almost every house. I want Flirt and June to arrive today. It is slated to be delivered and has an "Out for Delivery" status. I'm reeeadddyy!

lol on the n/p. Seriously, I put Graphite on today and I can't stop looking at my nails. So vain, but I think I could switch out my few Chanel polishes and a few Essie ones and be happy for life. I hope they do more shimmery ones in the near future. Their polishes go on like butter!

 

[QueenOfSnark]

^ I'm in the same boat Elven, waiting for my Belgravia to arrive... *wriggles impatiently*

 

[ElvenEyes]

Ooooh, they arrived! Flirt is perfect! As orange as it can look in the case and on my hand, on my rosy lips it pulled to a soft and pretty coral pink. So glad I got it and almost wish it were more pigmented! June n/p reminds me of orange cremesicles! I can't wait to try out the trial mascara and in LOVE with Chanel's Allure perfume. Seeing how long it last right now for this may be a New Year's purchase for me! I just love the soft spring colours of this collection!

Thats pretty much how Flirt looks on me too - I love it. June np reminds me of those squishy candy Circus Peanuts

I love LOVE this collection in combo with the Knightsbridge.

QoS - I hope you love Belgravia

Me too, Elegant! The Knightsbridge collection is so worth it and I am glad they opened it up for the rest of us. The lipsticks are amazing. Did you get the gloss from it? I saw a swatch and there wasn't much pigment. I would love to hear what anyone here feels about it.

You are right! Cremesicles and Circus Peanuts!

 

[elegant-one]

^LOL

No I didn't get the gloss - it didn't look pigmented enough. I love Bagatelle though.

 

[QueenOfSnark]

OMG OMG OMG...Belgravia is

!

It is SUCH a pretty pink, the words, they cannot describe! When I first opened up the tube I eeked a little bit, fearing it'd be too bright...but it's SO pretty and flattering. Belgravia is everything I wanted Enivree to be. On my tanned skin it's a soft rose pink, the shimmer subtle and face-freshening. LOVE. I am VERY, VERY tempted to buy a backup.

...if Elegant didn't buy them all.

Woah. Five hours later. I have had dinner, dessert, snacks, water. And Flirt still has left a lovely coral stain on my lips. Unreal! I didn't even know but my husband keeps hearing me using various makeup terms about what makes something good or bad, and I always talk about preferring lipsticks that leave a stain hours later, especially for day trips and family gatherings when it isn't always as convenient to reapply. He just looked at me and said "is that what you call lip stain?" lol A MUA in the making? He is too funny!
