Yes, Elegant, its the Lotion Purete toner. I have heard great things about it. Recently I am becoming more and more interested in skincare. I use the Le Jour De Chanel Renforcer Reactivate after cleansing and now I finally got the Clarisonic yesterday. The other item is Le Blanc Brightening Oil-Gel Makeup Remover. Prepping the canvas, lol

@ Elegant, the Le Jour De Chanel (Renforcer Reactivate ) is used after the toner. It is supposed to be a morning deactivating face care. Its purpose is to minimize the appearance of pores and soothes skin. Enhances radiance all day long. Toner is a new step for me so I used to apply Le Jour immediately after cleansing my face then wait a few minutes to apply Soleil Tan De Chanel as a primer. Med swears by this make up base as well. Foundation and powder after Soleil Tan De Chanel.

That was a good idea for an outing---it looked relaxing and you looked super cute enjoying it!!!!

Well that is an amazing haul.

The Chanel toner you got, it's this one right - Lotion Purete Fresh Mattifying toner Purity. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this toner & I've been using it for years. It really does keep the skin fresh & clean. I'll use it all over my face with a cotton ball when I come in from gardening, or I've been sweating & to remove my mu before I cleanse. Its great stuff.

Thats sound really pretty! And into my cart it went

I am so glad I am not the only one interested in proactive skin care regimen. I am now into masks like the purifying red clay mask, Dior One Essential skin boosting super serum, eye brighteners such as Mac Fast Response Eye Creme, love Sunday Riley active eye cream and skincare line too. My skin tends to get oily quickly so I am armed with oil control lotion, primers, blotting sheets and Mac Blotting Powder. I am really loving the results so far but a part of me wants to wait another 5 years. It would be much less expensive if I waited a few more years, lol

I hope you end up loving it as much as I do. Its so fab & nothing else I've tried can replace it. Yes, the canvas can make the difference lol. Never heard of the le Jour - I'll have to research that one
Le Jour is a serum , in fact you have 3 serums. : - Le Jour - La Nuit - Le Weekend Sold separately or not ( the set is not very pricey here 240€ but I don ´t know what the price will be in the US ) The Day serum can be used every morning, the Night one every evening ( before skincare ) and Le Weekend only 2 a week . The set is worth buying IMO but you can use any product separately . :)

My skin has become "over sensitive" and Le Weekend is clearly not for me ( at the moment ) but Le Jour and La Nuit are perfect, the texture is so smooth. I really think using the 3 is the best solution for the skin ( before applying skicare like le Lift for example or another Chanel cream ), and it's not pricey at all compared to other high ends sérums ( Shiseido, even Lancôme etc.. ).

That means I have to buy it
sigh.gif
but I am currently using a simple combo ( no serum at all ) Hydra Beauty which is the holy grail moisturizer for sensitive skins and Lancôme Visionnaire, which is good much to my surprise. The texture is a bit unusual ( gel ) but it works ( for me that is lol )

Visionnaire is wonderful. I absolutely hated all thre of the chanel "serums" Weekend maybe wasn't so terribly but all three have so much fragrance in it and do nothing for my skin

I'm experimenting with serums from NuFountain and Cosmetic Skin Solutions that don't contain fragrance or alcohol.

After seeing Karen's review, I now really want Innocence blush! So glad you are enjoying yours, elegant-one!

A few days ago, I purchased Viva, Confidence, Songe, and Atmosphere. I'm loving all of them (although I've only swatched Atmosphere on top of my existing nail polish; I'm excited to try it out on its own soon). Viva brightens my NC30-35 skintone nicely and seems like it would flatter both cool and warm skintones like mine! Confidence is a very easy to wear RCS; I feel like it makes me look more polished when I wear it (great for the office, for example). Songe makes my lips look fuller (and hubby says it makes the lips look very kissable, haha!). Very happy with the items I purchased!

I am really loving the Chanel 191 iridescent lipgloss. I ended up with Hesitation es, the 191 gloss, Chanel Dazzling Bronze lip-stain duo, a Clarisonic, a Dior es brush #21, a Chanel es brush # 25, Chanel Fresh Mattifying Toner green color, Chanel Sunkissed Illuminating fluid, the small Mac AA es brush # 233 to match the larger one #127, Chanel ambre foundations in 114 and 104 that I mixed like a real chemist. I believe the lady said that those ambres will be discontinued so giving them a late try. On a make up break now, got it all out of my system. Nothing until Mac A Novel Romance Aug 21st. Depression, frustration and stress do have its merits.

Speaking of brushes. I must ask do you have MAC's e/s brushes 217 & 239? These are a must have for me, especially the 217, I couldn't live without. I have at least 2 of both of these brushes. I am always recommending these. MAC should give me a kick-back. Also I have just fallen in love with Tom Ford's cream foundation brush. It isn't cheap but I feel it is most definitely worth every penny. I use liquid foundation but this brush is way better than his other foundation brush. I really didn't expect to like it more than my beloved Armani blender brush but I do indeed. Very pretty Clarisonic. I bought mine a few years ago. It's the plus & it has pink & grey swirls all over. It was a LE they did for breast cancer that year. I quickly learned I should have just bought the MIA as I only use it on my face. Occasionally I use it on my upper chest, below collar bone. I'm guilty of forgetting to use it. But when I use it regularly I can tell a big difference in my 51yr old oily, breakout prone skin. I use the deep pore brush.

Well, after some consideration I re-ordered my Chanel items... but not from Chanel.com. I only ordered Confident from this collection as it was the only thing that caught my eye.
@Dominique33 I ordered Confident and Icone and Sentiment from SAKS and @Medgal07 I ordered Presage from Nordstrom.
BTW Nordstrom is no longer shipping free samples and GWPs to freight forwarding addresses, to those of us who use them.

there Shadowaddict. In reading your post to @Debbs I couldn't help but notice you're a girl after my own heart where makeup brushes are concerned. I use my 217 & 239 daily and also have multiples of each. They are just two work horses in terms of getting the eyes done. I also have the Tom Ford cream foundation brush and I'm eyeing the bronzer brush for purchase in the not too distant future. Lastly, the Clarisonic is an integral part of my nightly routine and has been for a few years now. I agree, it does help minimize breakouts to which this almost 61 year-old face is still prone.

Glad to hear you got the items you wanted Awickedshape! Confident is the only RCS that I didn't get, so I'm eager to hear what you think of it.
I hope you enjoy all of your purchases, especially Presage--------it's my fav of all the Chanel cream blushes.

Did Nordstrom indicate a reason for the change?????
