I bypassed these and ended up ordering one of Guerlain's new spring palettes because it doesn't look like anything that I already have.

Which one did you order? The one with the pastel blue just wouldn't suit me, and the other one looked right up my alley but like colors I already have. I'm actually pleased with the House of Greens - it's totally different from anything I own. I just quickly patted some of the shades on my lid with my finger today and the middle green shade was quite irridescent - very unusual!

I got the Les Precieux 504 Palette( Green, Pink, Beige & Brown). Of course it was the green e/s that attracted me. I'm sure I have these colors in abundance but I'd have to access
four different custom palettes to use them all art once---so I paid for the convenience!

Hey
I ordered the lip and cheek stain and the Fairy Grey shadow. I realised I don't own a lot of dior products, mostly nail polishes, I really love the lash maximizer, I have very short lashes and finally found something that makes them look nice in combination with the Armani eyes to kill mascara. I'm usually not very impressed with their limited collections. Is there a must have from their permanent range I should try?

That palette is gorgeous. It tempts me too and I completely understand why you got it. I say I already have those colors but we'll see if I can hold off once I see swatches ;-)

The Dior lippies are really nice. In the last 2 days I have worn Star Fuschia 766 (previous formula) and Fantasque 777 an old LE shade.I absolutely love my Dior lipsticks too. I got the two from the transAt collection. I can't remember the last time I actually finished a lipstick. I don't say that w/pride at allI have been so far removed from the MAC collections-------I've become a fish out of water where MAC is concerned. I purchased nearly the entire Chanel spring
2015 collection and just hours ago I made my first purchases from the Guerlain spring collection.
I'm always interested in checking out the nail polish, but like you, I'll wait until we know more & see more.
It's funny I have found some lippies I was close to finishing and then I just totally forgot about them! Sometimes I'd go through phases of wearing one shade very often. They're the ones I want to focus on saying goodbye to ASAP as they are getting old.
You might not be finishing them, but if you can rotate them at least they'll be getting some love!
I haven't bought a MAC LE collection item since Heirloom Mix and The Matte Collection. MAC are definitely my favourite lipstick brand, particularly their mattes for longevity. I think I have neglected my other brands in favour of MAC lipsticks and I need to switch it up - when I am just going to be out for a few hours I'm trying to wear my other lippies which don't wear as long as MAC's...I don't like to reapply!
Chanel Spring 2015 looks amazing and I will have my hands on it soon enough! I can see how easy it would be to get almost everything! I hope your Guerlain items are as great as your Chanel haul!

I would like to try those kohls...thanks AWS! They look really nice.That palette is gorgeous. It tempts me too and I completely understand why you got it. I say I already have those colors but we'll see if I can hold off once I see swatches ;-)
I have zero willpower. It doesn't take much to push me over the edge...I could still end up with one of the Dior palettes. I took a chance on Sundeck from the TransAT
collection and it's now one of my favorite e/s palettes. I like nice surprises like that from a product.

Oh so do I MissTania...I may have a pink mood that lasts for a week but I'm only wearing two of the 50 + pinksThank you so much! I think I will be getting this, I have nothing like it and I agree it looks very "lady" like... and classy!

that I own. I'd like to go through all of them at least once. We'll see how this plays out.
I think the last MAC lipstick that I purchased was Styled in Sepia, and I really like it a lot.
I agree!! Chanel Spring 2015 is pretty special!!!!

Good luck with it Meddy, last night before bed I was trying some reds on for a change and thought there aren't enough days of the year for everything to get worn. I don't go through red phases too often these days. Coral reds interest me more.
I bought SiS and it didn't go too well on me- will revisit it and see if it can be saved.

Thank you MissTania!!!
That's so, so true. There aren't enough days in the year for everything to get used!!!
I would think reds would look amazing on you---especially with your dark hair. I can see how you would prefer coral
reds...one that comes to mind that I don't wear nearly enough is Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense,
Melodieuse (Coral Red) 136. Do you happen to have that one?

Thanks Meddy, I think I just love pinks and fuschias so much that reds don't make the cut often enough. I really like pink reds though, Dior has one which I have always liked but never bought:

I did try 136, I think it came out in the same collection as Fougueuse "Fougy" 138. 136 was tempting but I resisted. I will swatch it next to La Petillante when it's released here to compare.
I'm wearing my very first Chanel Rouge Allure- #04 Imagination (I bought it along with Comedia 74). It's a beautiful pink with a pearl, very similar to MAC Speed Dial but the texture is totally different.
I plan to finish it by the end of Summer (end of February here) as it is really old, luckily it smells fine.

Dior 779 is beautiful! !
I also picked up Fougy,
I keep my lippies in a cold area, and I think that helps.

Fougy was the star for me! RA 04 is lovely, but wear time not so hot!Dior 779 is beautiful! !
I also picked up Fougy,138. RA 04 sounds really very pretty too. It's heartbreaking when they get old and become rancid. Thankfully I haven't yet had that happen.
I keep my lippies in a cold area, and I think that helps.
I sometimes keep mine in cooler bags (usually Hello Kitty ones lol), and my daily make-up bag is a big Hello Kitty cooler bag and I have transferred some of my favourite lippies to a nice mini Hello Kitty insulated bag. My MAC lippies are the only brand which actually sweat, no other brand does. I keep all my stuff away from heat and light I can't imagine it any other way!
I'm still thinking about NARS Greta and Chanel Palpitante...I'll decide when I see them in person soon! I'll have to compare Palpitante to Dior 779!

This review of the Diorskin Nude Skin Glowing Makeup that I just bought and loved in store makes me sad. I know that fragrance isn't awesome, but I wasn't too worried. Is it really that bad? http://www.paulaschoice.com/beautypedia-skin-care-reviews/by-brand/dior/_/Diorskin-nude-skin-glowing-makeup-spf-15
