Chanel Collection Reflets d'Été de Chanel - Summer 2014

[NYCBeautyJunkie]

Do you guys think Cheeky will work on a NC50 skin tone? I LOVE pinked-browns. Love em!

Can't believe how out of the loop I've been about this collection. I think I may need Mirage and maybe New Moon as well. Depends on how chicken I am to wear the sparkle factor.

So I stopped by Nordies today and picked up the New Moon eyeshadow - OMG its gorgeous - LOVE IT!!!!! Then I also swatched the eyeliner - Ambre Dore , but they sold out , so I just ordered it online. They are such perfect shades for summer!
Sometime I wish when companies come out with such gorgeous shades - they would make them a part of a permanent line.. blah..

If one is looking for a more natural day eyeshadow would you go with mirage over new moon I assume?

 

[sungelly87]

I use new moon over mirage and I think its a great neutral everyday. I don't find the sparkles in new moon to be tacky.

Hmm. Tough one. I think you'd do best to try it in store if possible.

Okay so in the promo pic here:

chanel.com says she is wearing Mirabella on her nails, Cheeky crème blush on her cheeks, Mirage IdO on her eyes, and Sunny glossimer on her lips. I asked how we got that lip color from a sheer glossimer and she the colors are a little "off" in the pic (said yes when I asked if she meant "tweaked"). But definitely no lipliner mentioned in their info about this pic.

Yeah, it was a bit too light lovely color though. New Moon was also gorgeous but a bit out of my comfort zone in regards to finish... Im so sad that I have no where to go for a color that special. The mauve brown nuance was a bit lost on my dark complexion so it was more pretty shimmer than any color. I walked away with Mirage. May go back for Utopia (the color really stood out on my skin) and Mirabella.

Well, the orange glossimer does look that beautiful in the container...not like that photo though. In the promo, it looks like its over a soft pink lipstick or something. I see pink in her cheeks as well.
You might like the orange glossimer. Did you order it?

I'm a tad lighter than NC 50----NC44 actually and mine arrived today. I barely swatched it on my hand and won't
be up to trying it on my face for a bit...I'm recovering from surgery and not wearing makeup. That said, I'm
confident I'll be able to achieve a pretty good no-makeup, makeup look with it. If I were you, I'd try it in store first.
When I swatched it on my hand my first thought was mauve---I do see pink tones. HTHs

Yes...AKA Poopey blush!

I think it's pretty and I'm looking forward to using it in a bronzed look, as well.

 

[Medgal07]

Oh hi babe!!!! You're here

Wishing you a speedy recover & I'm glad all went well.

Your haul was amazing!

Hi honey...I'm back again. I think I overdid it & spiked temps for a few days. I slowed down, got more meds
& I'm back on track again.

Thanks for the well-wishes

OMG...my POST-OP haul is insane. Things are arriving in 3's and I'm expecting more this week. Hubs gave
me the side-eye today. I almost said, "well, how do you think I entertain myself when you're not here?," Better
judgement prevailed and I just batted my eyes and said, "these little packages make me feel so much better".

Call Hollywood and tell them where to send the Emmy

 

[Medgal07]

I was afraid it would look like poop.. lol

Thanks!

What does Mirage look like on you?

Elegant, you said "poop"

Isn't that how we kids react?

Thats so funny honey!
I know, 4 boxes one day then 3 then 2 & I still have a lipstick & a pair of shoes coming

Isn't it Grand.

So glad you conquered the fever & you're mending each day.

I did my nails with Trafalgar today & the brush was a lil funky...kind of thicker on the end & not as nice as Darlings brush. The color is amazing though.

I did... POOP POOP POOP

I like my little juvenile streak sometimes

 

[Medgal07]

Macy's does!!! I bought all the polishes and Mirage from there. I never shop there, but was literally dying waiting for the polishes. I thought I was done, but elegant seems to have convinced me to go back for New Moon and Ambre Dore. Sigh. I've spent WAY too much money the past few days. Oh, and I saw four of them at Bloomingdale's (minus Eastern Light), with some insane wait time before shipping. Which makes sense, since they are part of the same company. I should have my stuff tomorrow I think.

Me too Jeb...when I looked for the collection Macy's was the only one with it. I got the nail polishes and Cheeky, blush crème there. They just arrived today though.

TOTALLY...I was thinking if HG were here this and we could really get out of hand. I told hubs and he cracked up too.

It's living---and why not? YOLO!!! I wanna see pics of the shoes. I mostly wear wedges---an old gal could fall off her spike heels ya know?

Oh no---about the brush...I haven't yet tried my new polishes. I hope I can get used to the new brushes.

I got some of the Dior Transatlantique Collex polishes. They come w/decals & bi golly I'm trying them---the stripes, but not the CD!

I had forgotten that I'd ordered them through my local Sax. That was one of this week's surprises too

My SA gifted me a Rose Diamond. She's so sweet so I try to order through her on a regular basis.
