Collection Superstition (Fall 2013)

[CartoonChic]

You can move into the large nail salon I'm building you

and yes, we would have A LOT of fun

Oooohhhh! I need to think of how I would want to set things up for the salon.

 

[Medgal07]

Ended up buying the khaki mascara (good alternative to brown), the quad, and the alchemie vernis.

Will get the liner later on since its permanent. Passed on the two single shadows as I have enough taupes and purple-greys.

The cream blushes are nice, but I just bought all of the Le Metier de Beaute Cream Fresh Tints and those can be used comfortably on the lips, are $10 less AND contain double the product.

I think I'm done with this collection

----famous last words, not withstanding

. I purchased the quad, the khaki eyeliner, all three nail lacquers and
the Présage & Fantastic blushes.

Now that you ladies have been playing with the cream blushes for awhile, can you comment on wear time? I am on the fence still.

Again a very very decent haul Medgal

Here Chanel Fall 2013 is to be launched late august, I am currently working

on my wishlist ( all brands included ! ) and I finally purchased Dior Bikini cream blush yesterday, a very pretty watermelon indeed.

Chanel Gri-Gri with Guerlain Les Fumes, Chanel Raffinement, and RBR Delicate Hummingbird

Top is Raffinement- two left hand colors, next is Gri-Gri, Guerlain Les Fumes, RBR Delicate Hummingbird I really love Gri-Gri! Very versatile neutral taupe. It really coordinates with a lot of different crease colors, and I love it over LM Grey Pearl Caviar stick.

Here it is over LM Grey Pearl with Meet Matte Nude palette in the crease. I used Suspense RCS on the lips.

I have had no wear or pigmentation issues with the blushes that I have tried. I actually like them more that the Dior ones.

Same here - no issues with wear time on the new cream blushes. I wore Presage

through heat & humidity & a full workout & it stayed. I normally don't have fading issues though with any blush.

Presage is SOOOO pretty on.

PartyMarty - you look fabulous! Thanks for all the pics & swatches

As crazy and cheap as that hat looks, I still probably could not afford it. I bet it's 1000 bucks or something outrageous! Reminds me of this $650 Lanvin visor: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/lanvin-visor/3463448?origin=category&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor&resultback=6040.

I've been thinking about Gri Gri. Thanks for posting how it compares to the others. They're all so pretty.

I totally agree with MACina you are gorgeous. That color of l/s is beautiful on you.

Gorgeous! I received my quad, Fantastic and Presage blushes today. Still waiting for Mysterious nail polish to arrive. I already received Elixir and Alchimie. I haven't swatched the quad, but I played with the blush. I'm very happy with them and I think the smaller compact is cute. When I first applied Presage, I could see the color, but then it looked like it started to fade away right  before my eyes. I applied a second layer and it did the same thing. After the 3rd layer it was fine. Fantastic on the other hand didn't fade at all. I'll test out the other blush colors and the lipsticks in person, but no idea when that will be. Maybe some time this week or next. I'm still interested in the khaki mascara. I'll probably exchange Lime Light for it. Lime Light isn't working for me, which is a shame as I do like the color. It's just too light on me and makes my lashes look thin and sparse.

Noooo! :crybaby: So sad to hear that. Do you use it full on like a regular mascara? I find that to be too scary for me. I have a lot of lashes and they're long so that can be a bit much. Plus, wearing false lashes now, it would be odd. I use it on my lower lashes or just on the tips of the top lashes. I love it like that, but I can see how that's not enough to justify having it for some people. Bummer. Presage is a tricky one because it seems more pink than orange and that can work against certain skin tones. Deeper ones, really. I don't find it quite as flattering as Fantastic and oddly, it can look a little..muddy on my face? It's like it catches my pores in a way that makes me remember I have them. It's weird. I wish it was more on the orange side. That was when I tested it on my bare face, though. Still haven't gotten around to trying it on a full face day.

Thanks for all of the compliments This board has inspired quite a few purchases lately- Chanel Saga and Suspense, Dior Coral Glow, and Dior Rosy Glow blush! I might try out the cream blushes- Presage and Inspiration are my first picks. Thanks for the feedback

I don't like that visor either, even if it is pink

 

[LiliV]

Visors make me think of Hunter Thompson who I adore, but would never aim to dress like lol

 

[stephybaby]

I use to make visors out of construction paper when I was kid. I much rather use that $$$ to fund my ongoing chanel polish obsession ;-)

Chanel Saga and Suspense, Dior Coral Glow, and Dior Rosy Glow blush I fully agree, great products so easy to wear, and such pretty packagings ! We don't have the Fall collection but I guess the Chanel texture is close to perfection. I will pick up 2 cream blushes too.

From the photos to the swatches to your own look, a must impressive and helpful review of Gri-gri.

It's now at the top of my wish list.
