^^ Good luck with your deadline! Is everything ok with your mom?
I miss my Chanel ladies! Things are so busy and crazy. I'm getting excited for the new launches :)

Hi elegant and Michelle! Miss you too!


They are just supposedly "reformulating" the RAs and introducing new shades - or that's what I've read previously anyway. This blogger seems to think it's all about the older shades being "old". Here is some info -- and there is a pink beige!

I think most non-fanatics will not even notice unless there's a color they buy repeatedly. Unless change the case too? But personally I doubt they'll do that. What do you think?


BTW if you didn't get the e-mail I just got....free second day shipping thru tomorrow with code 0612SECOND
Thanks for the link! I want to see Secrete, Seduisante and that pink beige Gracile, which I hope is not peachy. The black red Determinee looks interesting, maybe I can add it to my collection if I can pull it off.I feel that the current perm RA colours are not exciting and look dated, so I'm happy that they are introducing new ones.

I miss the Ratonas chat... esp. now since we're in between big collections ;). Last weekend was my birthday, I'm turning 33 this year

, somehow I'm at peace with my age this time (was throwing a fuss when I turned 30. LOL). The hubs took a day off since Friday and spoiled me the whole weekend

. It was one of the nicest birthday I had :).

Back to topic, I'm tempted to get the Orange-Red Coromandel or the Fire-Red Incandescente... basically another shade of red that would look good on me :D. I wasn't interested in the RA colors before either, so I'm glad Chanel introduced new shades too!

Happy for you that it is one of the best birthdays!

We can talk more about the new RA at the lipsticks thread. I'm liking the description of Incandescente too! :)

Thanks for the link! These look like they're designed to replace some of the more intense colours that were discontinued when the RALs disappeared (like Coromandel). I really hope that this isn't the entire line, though- maybe there's a few colours they could eliminate, but there are so many nice ones already in the lineup! I'm glad these will be permanent, though, because there are a number of them that look appealing...

Extatique
Palpitante
Inimitable
Enjouee
Determinee

Honestly, I think I could buy almost all of them and be happy, but my wallet won't let me...

MissQQ -- things have settled down a bit, so I can finally chat a bit more! Summer is in full swing and the kids are loving it :) I am so interested to see all of these new RA's!

Astrid -- Happy belated birthday!! You are still young! So glad you had a wonderful birthday!


Looking forward to the Fall collection and the Expresions (sp?) collection, and of course the new RA's. I'm having trouble keeping everything straight!

Glad things are continuing to go well with the move/build for you Michelle and that the girls are enjoying summer so far.

I have also been busy with work, but hope next week will be better. Not much Chanel to talk about right now, I guess, until we start getting bombarded with all these things we've been hearing bits and pieces about.

Happy ( belated, sorry for that ) Birthday to you. You are young indeed, so enjoy ! Coromandel well it's really a name for you and Coco Chanel loved coromandels. It's still a niche perfume, as for Rouges Allures, Coco I don't know I've just seen the nail polish.

Thanks Gail! Good luck with everything at work. In a few months, we will have lots of Chanel talk! Hopefully it gives me time to save up my $ :)

Hi everyone,

I just saw the fall collection at Bergdorf's, I can't believe it's out already. It was so busy at the counter, I had to wait to see the colors.
This is a huge collection, $$$$. I had to restrain myself, but I know I'm not done yet! Bergdorf's had a really nice gift and Chanel also gave me some cute gifts.

I'll take some pictures later, here's what I got:

n/p ~ Frenzy and Vertigo
JC ~ Rose Initiale
Ombre Essentielle ~ Complice
RCS ~ Parfait
Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss ~ Caprice
Lumiere D'Artifices beiges, for me I'll use as blush

They are out so soon! Enjoy! I can't match the names of the eyeshadow, RCS and the gloss right now. Can't wait to see the pics! The beiges powder is pigmented? I better start saving my money for this collection, good thing most items are perm.

Yeah, I realized that too with my age. At 30 I felt so old but now it's like I'm young again

.

Part of me is liking the fact that I could rest my wallet until Fall... I like the looks I could create with my stuff right now, trying to finish some stuff to make space for fall MU ;).

Edit: I just read Ernie's post. So much for trying to save up :p.

Looking forward to the pics!

Thank your for the swatches! I actually like the powder. And the e/s has a pretty sheen. But Frenzy and Vertigo are my only definites right now.

Belated birthday wishes from me too :) I will turn 30 by the end of this year too, and I'm already freaking out about it, LOL. I start getting gray hair now and I panicked when I first saw it a couple of weeks ago. I cried.

. Can't believe I'm turning 30 already, it sounds so unreal, I feel more like 15.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Ladies, I turned 30 last April 17th and I am feeling ... hummm ... well ... hehehe. You are lucky Naynadine, I started to find grey hairs all around my head about 2 years ago ='(

Love the swatches, thank you very much Ernie! I am in love with the nail polishes

Great to hear that you had a wonderful birthday weekend. Let's hope for a wonderful year then!

I'll be 35 this year. And honestly, my thirties are great so far. I feel much better than in my twenties!
And remember ladies, always wear sunscreen and you won't look your age!
