I feel like nordstrom is pretty bad about marking things limited. :-/

I used the MAC 109 brush with Caresse & got some decent color to show up. Its very soft & lovely on. Any time I want more blush color to show up on me, I use the 109. It works every time. I love love love that brush.

The Chanel SA told me that he used the highlighter as a soft shadow which I thought would be quite pretty with a simple thin liner just on the top lash line & a bold lip.

Don't count on your highlighter maintaining that gorgeous design - the display which was just put out the day I went looked like there was very little to no design in the powder at all

I didn't realize Smoky Grey was limited. Says it's LE on Sunny's blog but it's not listed as limited on Nordstrom. Anyone know for sure? Thanks for bringing this up actually because I had that one on my to buy list but it wasn't at the top because I thought it was perm. If not, it's getting bumped up!

Yeah, it's LE. The other three are permanent. It's a shame, because it's so perfect. It makes my (blue-grey) eyes pop, but it isn't as harsh as black and it's different than brown. And the formula is really good and it lasts and lasts. I have to be really careful with Marron Glacé so I don't break the tip. I may end up getting a backup.

I use my hakuhodo that's the same shape as the 109 for the same purpose! It's perfect for getting color to show up. That's a bummer about the pattern. My jardin de camelias powder is the same way. I'll still get the highlighter though.

Has anyone seen the la flamboyante lipstick? I really want it to be similar to the last one of the same name, but I'm nervous it's a straight red. Ah, I hope to see swatches soon!

It really is a bummer. It's such a unique color. I'm glad to hear the formula is awesome. I will definitely be picking one up shortly...and you're right a backup might be a good idea!

Thanks I just checked this out and ordered the Smoky Grey too! I have been looking for a color like this since MAC d/c'd DIG IT. Yahoo.

Speaking of amazing highlighters, has anyone seen the new La Mer one at NM?

Can't wait to hear what you think. And the more I think about it, the better a backup sounds.

It looked the same to me. its my favorite orange red. I have 2 of the older one.

I probably missed this information somewhere, and sorry for asking you to repeat it, but where did you purchase it from?

I think my Chanel counter at Nordstrom never runs out of collections quickly, but just in case, I'm going to go once it releases!

I've been waiting for that to reach my counters as well, but I totally hate shopping at Neimans. LOL.

 

[sugarberry]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
oh no i ws so looking forward to the blush but i think it might not show up all that well on me ugh i wish they released RG now!

Now that is a gorgeous neutral blush. I prefer the softer, subdued shades, so I'm definitely picking this baby up if it looks as good in person! Thanks for the swatches!

So I went to NM and they had no idea about the holiday collection. They god highlighter in and also 5 pan eyeshadow and they told me that's a part of fall collection. Oh chanel people always clueless... i told them it's not and even googled it and showed them online...

Here's a swatch: http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2014/09/chanel-plumes-precieuses-de-chanel-flamboyante.html

To me it looks like the perfect red, but pictures online of the old Flamboyante don't show a straight red, more pinky.

So not surprised. My favorite local Chanel SA always had a good laugh over how more up-to-date I was with collections coming out. You'd think they'd at least get the correct info.

I can't wait until the holiday collection is up online at NM. I have a gift card burning a hole in my wallet.

 

[Monsy]

They told me how they just received that highlighter and since now is fall it has to be part of the fall collection. I honestly couldn't believe it.

Three of them had no idea... Then he pulled out their book with releases and collections and there was nothing about this holiday collection ??

Jersey blush - A BEAUTIFUL soft pinky rosey beige nude neutral peach. It has a bit of slight metallic sheen but in a good way. Slight shimmer. On me, its this very lovely soft slight pinked natural shade.
