Chanel Spring 2014

[jebogewf]

Thank you so much! It swatches much redder than I thought! I've also been eyeing Guerlain's Insolence lipstick which looks like a similar tone, I'm going to have to pick which one I want lol don't need both

Triomphe is definitely much redder than I thought it would be. It's definitely not what I expected. It gives a brightening glow--just not the pinky-peachy/coral I thought it would be. I thought I would like it more than Mélodieuse, but now I'm not so sure. So, I think I'm going to pick that up too so I can compare.

I think I'll get both blushes, Mélodieuse RA, Fougueuse RA, La Diva RAV, L'Adorée RAV and maybe the IdO. I really love the lipstick and blush colours especially La Diva!

Yes, I really like Dedicace. I love that it is a bright true pink, but still wearable. The Sonic pink liner is very bright -- but I really like it, too.
Have you heard from Shypo lately? I was thinking it was her kind of color, too

Oh good to hear that. Sonic Pink is wow bright. I just do a light app.

Yes, I have heard from her. She is just very busy with work & family right now. I hope your baby girl is feeling better

I did a review of Triomphe and Murmure. I don't really like to post my own links in here, but since you want to see it, I thought I would put it in here for you:

How on earth did I miss Triomphe!? Do I need it?

It looks beautiful in your swatch

Thank you so much sweetheart! It is really pretty. When I've worn it, it seems to brighten up my whole face remarkably. I'm not sure it's me though. I was hoping it would be more of a pinky-peachy/coral. It has more red/orange in it than I expected. But still gorgeous.

I know it was delayed a few weeks...but has anyone seen the Pink Twist Ultrawear?

Yes, I thought it was supposed to be more peachy pinky. I may have to go see it in person.
Thanks for your help

I would check it out in person. It's more red-orange on me than peachy pink. But that could just be on me. It's very pigmented and bright. Of course, I'm happy to help,

I think I'm going for Triomphe instead of Guerlain's Insolence. Insolence seems a bit more raspberry and I like the orange coral pull on Triomphe better

One of my fave rouge allure velvets: chanel l'adoree!

 

[elegant-one]

That is really really pretty on you!!!

That is really really pretty on you!!!

Thank u! And happy new year to you! I just love this color! I made comparison swatches on the blog with what I currently owned.

 

[Miss QQ]

Gorgeous! I will check out your comparisons! All the swatches and talks on the lipsticks are getting me excited. I can't wait to see them in person. I don't have Eclantante but liked it a lot. If it is still at my counters maybe I will buy it. Happy New Year!

 

[franlynne]

I am loving that as well!! I never wear matte lipsticks, this has really surprised me!

They reformulated their rouge allure velvets which is awesome!

Yes, I have heard from her. She is just very busy with work & family right now.

Good to hear she is doing well, although quite busy. I miss seeing a lot of our long time regulars. When I popped in the other day I was so glad to see HG back. I'm sure the holidays were tough for her and her mother this year with it being the first since her sister passed away.

To our newer members--Please don't get me wrong. We are always happy to welcome new Specktra lovlies and very glad you have joined us.

I hope you understand that after being here for quite some time you notice when someone is not on for a good while and we tend to get concerned if things are ok with them or perhaps they just have an overflowing plate at the moment. It appears we have a few mama bears here that notice our missing cubs.

Happy New 2014! I have missed you and am very grateful that you remember me and some of my travails.. this last year was more than trying. I lost my two puppies too.. one was very old and the other one had a brain anurism and was almost brain dead so he had to be put down. It broke my heart -- but then, my heart has been so broken in the past few years I wonder if there is any part left.

I miss all my beloved family and friends who have gone on.. they are happy and at peace with the universe.

I miss Shypo too -- I think she got mad at me because of some stuff I wrote .. which I admit, at the time I was having panic attacks and all sorts of feelings of gloom doom and despair. But it was always my understanding that friends are there no matter what crazy stuff we do -- at least I am. If we cannot be supportive friends, then we are nothing as humans.

I am glad to read she is well and keeping busy.

thank you so much for your online friendship-- and yes, to all the newer members who I hardly know or speak to me..Happiest and Healthiest of New Years!

Happy new year to all my beautiful specktras, may this year bring happiness and joy to all.
