Sara, hello.
Frédéric Malle perfumes now belong to Estée Lauder, well bad news IMO.

Hi Dominique,

well, you say so. I love that actually

Estee Lauder has great blogger relations and they value bloggers and their work. For me it means maybe I can get test to some of his perfumes and write about it.
I know though you think about the niche brands are disappearing... I know what you mean.

Thank you I am ok, yes it happened on the parking. Just a jealous young man suffering from addictions. He may be sued in fact, we'll see but I am not willing to accept that

Foudroyante lol:haha: , fou- drew- ayant Orgueil : or - gu - e - aye It's not that easy lol but I hope it helps ( a bit ).

How crummy of him :-( Hope it is resolved satisfactorily, as you have already been inconvenienced

   [COLOR=0000FF]Yikes--I'll have to practice pronouncing those---much harder than I thought.  Thank you Dominique!!!![/COLOR]:bouquet:

Thank goodness I didn't have to ask someone for Orgeuil lol

Yes Sara exactly a very famous niche brand located in the Rive Gauche, a wonderful place. Estée Lauder is such a giant, Bobbi Brown, MAC, Clinique... That's why I was shocked, Le Labo also belongs to Estée Lauder now. I love the brand for skincare and some perfumes ( Beyond Paradise is one of my favourite ever, Beautiful, and others, I use Estée Lauder skincare I purchased Enlighten some weeks ago ), but a niche brand well, it's quite different, and here we have 2 niche brands that are not private ones anymore.

Yikes--I'll have to practice pronouncing those---much harder than I thought. Thank you Dominique!!!!

lol

Both words are really difficult ones even for native French people, but honestly English and US English are most difficult for us, pronunciation is a kind of maze !

 

[Dominique33]

Thank goodness I didn't have to ask someone for Orgeuil lol

lol but you have a number on each product ( Chanel I mean, Dior too I think and every high end brand in fact ) so just say the number, it will go smooth

Thank goodness I didn't have to ask someone for Orgeuil lol

I suggest we use over-sized flash cards or the signs car services use to find people at airports!!! Just go to the Chanel counter and hold that baby up high

I find them much easier to spell than to say

Sara, I love your blog. Yes, without question many bloggers work long and sadly at times thankless hours for so many of us. I agree some of the Chanel products do suck. I have eyeliners that need to be warmed up by a blow dryer!!!! There are so many products, I truly have no idea how the serious bloggers keep up!!!! Again, for the makeup amateur, I have found working with a product specialist, and/or personal shopper is a true asset. I have had no issues with chanel.com customer service. I am sure this is not always the case. The re-formulated eyeshadows was long over due. As with any line, there will always be hit and misses. I am thankful for so many of you who have taken the challenge of being honest, helpful and for the most part without bias. I do apologize for offending you. It was never my intent. Just cranky today.....

It is and it's much more pigmented than it appears in the compact wouldn't you say?

 

[awickedshape]

     :haha: [COLOR=0000FF]   I do and I LOVE it.[/COLOR]

Excellent! Do you both use it lightly or build it up a bit more? I have been looking at that and Canaille (why, why lol) but I think I'm going with PA

It depends on the brush that I'm using, but pretty much w/any blush, I go light and build to avoid over-applying and looking like a clown. I have Canaille too. It's soon pretty.
