Hi! They just said it's a new agreement with the vendor concerning the freight forwarding addresses specifically. But sometimes their info is wacky. I just don't like sending my packages to family abroad for them to forward to me.

Okay, I waited a while to get a few items from this collection because of reviews. Then I watched mallory1712(I think) on YouTube and I was then stuck with narrowing down a list. Funny how that happens eh? My nearest counter is frickin far away, but I walked away impressed and happy I made the trek. I had to have the blush immediately (it's a gorgeous healthy, glowy flush and surprisingly different from my million other pinky blushes) and the 191 Songe glossimer. I've also ordered Intime RCS, the formula is so lovely. When I saw this paired with the other glossimer, 189 Rose Reve, I fell hard. Let's not even GO there with how this glossimer has been described. :shock: If you have any questions about the quality or prettiness of this collection, watch that girl's YouTube review. It sold me, and she's right. I had planned to pass on the whole collection. I'm trying to not go back and purchase the shadow in Hesitation -- I will go back as the weather starts turning cold again and I'm more in the mood. That and Aura RCS are singing my name, softly. I will resist for now. Does anyone else look to the translation of some of the names, and then want the shade all the more b/c of the meaning, or is it just me ? Lol

I love the names too, it's part of the artistic work and also some marketing issues :) Makeup talks us about voyages, beautiful places, paradise lost ( and found ^^ ), islands, imagination, dreams, poetry ^^, travels by plane, ocean shore, etc... Transat, Croisette, Adult Swim, Moody Blooms, Alluring Aquatic, Etats Poétiques or Surf& Sand are all about escaping from reality. It works very well for us, as we have become addicts ! It's the same with fragrances for examples, from budget ones to very high end ones.
I love the names

I would not buy as much as I do if the names were ugly or unattractive ones.

I wore Innocence yesterday---like you, I'm in love with it. I've never had a gloss like Songe before & I love the way it matches the nail lacquer, Atmosphere. Better yet,
it looks amazing over so many lipsticks. I'm not even a true lip gloss fan but somehow I end up w/the Chanel Glossimers---and I really do use them. I'll pass on that
You Tube video---I've already gone overboard w/this collection---don't need anymore enabling convincing. I came, I saw, I purchased!!!

I guess if I had the translations I would be intrigued the way that I am with the names of nail polishes. I pretty much shop w/my eyes through---I'm a sucker for a pretty
color--the name notwithstanding!

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!

Her review made me head straight to Nordstrom.com and buy it.

Names like certain attributes you admire can be very attractive. Some names I already know the translation for and I try to look up the ones for products I'm interested in, like "Fougueuse", which I'd never heard before. There is something so beautiful about languages other than English (although I love my native language) and etymology is so fascinating. French, especially, is so lovely for product names eg. Melodieuse and Un Matin D'orage, etc it seems so glamorous lol Reminds me of these examples of words without direct English equivalent: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5295902

I definitely have to check out Innocence blush then on my next trip to the store! Does anyone know if there are any JC dupes of Innocence? (Apologies if I missed it somewhere in this thread!)
