Winthrop, both broke me out :/ The US formula broke me out far worse, as in a rash of pimples rather than one or two, but a pimple's a pimple. I guess my skin's more freakishly sensitive than I thought.

This is bad news. Do you have an idea what is breaking you out?

So I totally forgot the Brume D'Or JC that's being released in this collection. Do I need it? I'm kinda close in skin tone to the Bombay Express model here, but not as red/a little more yellow in tone. Will BdO even show up on me? How does it compare to Fandango?

I might spring for Diwali too--I got Miami Peach through a swap recently and was impressed with Chanel's formula. I think Diwali will be one of those rare colors not so easily duped.

Ah, who am I kidding, I might cave and get the highlighting powder too, it's just too pretty to pass up. >_> Texture will really be a determining factor, as I have a ton of gold highlighters--I'm like Gold Member when it comes to highlighters. If it's buttery soft (and NOT $80) it'll be a day 1 purchase.

Congratulations on the new job! We must be employment buddies- I started a new one last week. All of a sudden I'm having to wean myself off the brighter, more dramatic colours I have. For a year, I'd been doing work from home and mostly with arts clients, so no one cared if I showed up to a meeting in acid green lipstick (although I don't actually have one). Now I'm in an office, and working for a company that makes natural/ organic products... Not that I think I'd get the stink-eye, but I sort of feel compelled to keep things neutral.

For the US JCs it's definitely the mineral oil. For the Euro ones it might be the talc and/or silica. My current MMU foundation and blushes has none of those ingredients and never broke me out. Yay for finding out I don't have adult acne after all, boo for having to give up all my chanel facial products. :/

Man, that sucks :( but as you said, at least you have an idea what you can use and what not. Think positive, all the mony you are saving. :) The bronzers are a problem, too? Katred, congrats on the new job, looks like you take the neutral makeup as a challenge.

The design of the powder looks beautiful, so maybe I'll cave. I have Gold Fever, which is less pigmented than Or JC (I passed).

Ah... I still want Diwali n/p. Only if I can get it at a normal price though. There's no way I'm paying 69$ for that.

oh, no

I really liked the beige-gold of the powder in the promo pics, but if it is this gold its a skip, especially with price tag I am sure it will have.

Diwali is also too gold to my liking. Will wait for Dior's fall gold polish.

I had to laugh - when I was at the crazy Chanel lady's Macys - they told me there was no Bombay Collection (& said it like I was stupid), that was last year
