Thank you for posting ! Beautiful swatches and collection.
You wear Chance Eau Tendre, definitely yes " il faut souffrir pour être belle " et aussi " il faut économiser " lol

Thank you for the great pics Ernie! So exciting that it's out already - I think! lol

What did you think of the quad?

 

[Miss QQ]

Ernie - Thanks for the beautiful pics! I'm very excited! Does Complice show up more as a sheen? What is the Chance Eau Tendre? The pink plastic and the pouch looks so pretty - I need them.

I'm turning 30 in 2 years time and I'm turning grey already.

Thinking of colouring my hair but I've not done it before and I will be lazy about retouching it.

Thanks for the wishes MissQQ, Michelle, Gail, Dominique

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 .

Looking forward to the pics!

OMG! Not sure how I missed this but I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Astrid!

And as far as feeling old... I think it gets better as you go along. I really minded 35 for some reason, but this year I'm turning 40 and it just seems more funny than anything. (It might feel different as the date gets closer.)

Ernie- Thank you so much for posting the photos. It seems completely ridiculous to me that there is a Fall collection out when it's still technically Spring, but I know that the Summer collections were hitting shelves before it was technically Spring, so I guess the schedule works. I'm really afraid of the damage that this Fall is going to do to my wallet between this and Guerlain...

Not to worry, I am grey all over *g* and grey is the new blonde Happy belated birthday Astrid and Almus Thanks for the great pictures of the Fall collection Ernie, I cannot believe it's already out for you. And I love the Chance gift you got, is it just a box?

Thank you Naynadine, Almus, Anneri, Katred, Bis

, you ladies rock!

Naynadine, feel like 15 forever

Btw, I always have a couple of stray gray hairs... especially when I'm facing a tough exam, so I called them my wisdom hair

.

I agree with Anneri & Katred, after that initial dread three years ago, I am now having the best time of my life. I think it was the expectation of a white picket fence that threw me off for a second (plus just moving to a new city and had no friends to celebrate the birthday with ).

Also, seconded the sunscreen, Anneri!

Btw, speaking of Ratonas, does anyone know where HG is? I miss her around here... I hope she's doing fine wherever she is.

Ernie - Thank you for the swatches!!

Nothing really speaks to me still from this collection... except perhaps the nail polishes... I like the highlighter color but the pattern gives me the shiver in bad way. I know I'm weird though

I imagine HG eloped with someone and now lives somewhere on a farm (or a vineyard ) and is very happy Wisdom hair, I need some of those too. Seems like artificial ones are not working

 

[cutemiauw]

^^ That's a lovely thought about HG

. Liking that a lot.

 

[Winthrop44]

The highlighter makes me think of multigrain Cheerios.

Thanks for the great pictures of the Fall collection Ernie, I cannot believe it's already out for you. And I love the Chance gift you got, is it just a box?

The pink pouch came in the box!

 

[Ernie]

Happy belated birthday wishes!

I'll be 50 next month and I've been gray for the last 20 years! Hope that makes you "youngsters" feel better!

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Yes, it's gorgeous, I'll be picking that one up as well.
The quad was nice, basic with the beige,pink,brown and black shadows.

Ernie - Thanks for the pics! I like the looks of the highlighter. Was the quad the baked version? I'm wondering how the fuchsia nail polish differs from the fuchsia polish, Tentation, from this spring?

 

[Haven]

Thank you Ernie for the pics! Now I want one of everything that you bought - LOL.

 

[Shypo]

Ohhh, very pretty!!! Put me down for the quad, the JC and maybe one of the lips.......

 

[elegant-one]

Thanks ernie! and LOL on the gray hair & 50

Hi my dear shypo!!!

I saw all the flyers on the fall & holiday stuff.

I heard my wallet crying in my purse as I looked.

The JC looks beautiful - I must have for me. And, a bunch of the new lip colors. I love the black shadow & the quad.

I can't believe how early some of these fall collections are coming. I haven't seen this one yet but I am looking for it. I did pick up some pieces from Bobbi Brown Fall collection (Desert Twilight) and Laura Mercier Fall collection (Cinema Noir) today. They will have to hold me until this collection comes out.

What did you pick up from the Bobbi Brown collection? I bought Twilight nail polish and 2 lip glosses, Firefly and Bronzed Heather.

I was crying too! The JC is right up your alley.

I didn't even notice if the quad was the baked version, it's the only thing I still have to pick up. I went back and got the fuchsia polish, it's deeper and has no shimmer, compared to Tentation.

I recently checked several department stores in my area for this collection, and it was not in any of them. I am getting impatient!
