Armani Discussion

[Medgal07]

I use the original one and I love how it looks like it's metal not plastic, I'll try to find it somewhere.. I got the Chanel Le Volume last week and I like it as much as I like the ETK, so I'll use it if they make the formula worse.

And I was so disappointed today that the eye tints weren't in the stores yet

They have them on a few websites but I'll wait for free delivery.

I'm loving the eye tints!!! I hope they're come to a store near you soon!!!

So I saw the "new" mascaras up on NM today and decided to email the GA product specialist and ask whether they are reformulations or just repackaged. I specifically inquired about the waterproof formula since that's what I wear but she responded with info regarding the whole line. (And she responded within an hour - love good CS!). Here's what she said:

Thank you for reaching out to me regarding Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Waterproof Mascara.

Great question. This mascara is the same formula and brush as the Eyes to Kill in the silver tube. Armani is changing the packaging on all the mascara's. They will all eventually be in the black tube. The difference between them will be the color of the GA logo on the front. The new Black Ecstasy Mascara has the red GA logo. The Eyes to Kill Wet (Waterproof) has a black GA logo on the front.

So there you have it - just repackaged. I'm bummed about the loss of the silver tube, but for those who like the formula, at least you can rest easy that it hasn't changed

The 604 gloss and lipstick will not be released until late Spring....bummer. Waiting to actually see the Runway collection. Think the lipstick might make me look like I should be in the coffin.

Thanks. I was wondering when that collection was due.

Was told NM will have in the store by next week for the Runway collection. Then the other Spring lipsticks and polish will be released shortly. It is the 604's I am waiting for in around late May, early June, ugh.....

I am bit slow, was told the same thing yesterday at NM. I hate when it is just new packaging. YSL is known for doing this. As in the Chinese New Year compact eyeshadow. Same thing offered for over a year in the regular line. Just a fancy compact. Thankfully the Spring compact eyeshadow with the pink sparked was truly all new.

There's a distinct possibility, given my unhealthy adoration for all things fuchsia, berry and purple, that I might want ALL the lip items from Fuchsia Maharajah, so having a little more time to plan for the purchases is OK with me. I'm not sure if we'll be getting the runway collection here or not (or if it'll show up on Sephora), but it's one that I'm going to want to see in person before committing to purchase.

The fuchsia lip products will be released first. Then the 604 group later. So you might need to hungry shortly since the fuchsia group will be released soon. I also find if you wait until mid May or so, the Armani website does have the 20% off entire purchase. Of course last year right after I ordered everything, they had this promo.....which seriously sucked.

They're having one right now offering 15% off all orders $75 and over and it runs until Feb 24th. I'm glad you said there's usually a 20% off one in May as I was contemplating whether I should pick up some stuff now.

 

[ashievic]

They might have changed the amount of discount to 15%, not sure. One never knows what is going on in the minds of cosmetic corp. Thanks for letting me know!!! That usually means YSL is having the same offer, since they are both owned by Loreal.

 

[ashievic]

It is the "friends and family sale" that comes in late spring, and last year it was 20% off. There is a huge new range of Fluid Sheers being released for summer. Saw the pics for them yesterday. Along with several sheer lipsticks like they had for summer 2014.

Fuchsia Maharajah - the whole collection- is up on the Armani site, but not anywhere else.

 

[ashievic]

Not on the US site. I just went there and nothing. I search for the shades and nothing.

Lucky you - first dibs!! Looks like it's not up in the US yet. They're running a 15% off campaign right now, so I would be surprised (and happy!) if they did put the collection up now.

Weird. There isn't actually a Canadian site- they don't ship direct here at all. I thought I was seeing the U.S. site, but maybe it was European.

That is weird - still not up this morning on US site so it must have been European. Hopefully that's a good sign that we'll be getting it soon.

Has anyone actually seen the new Runway collection in person? The lipstick seems to me it was inspired by the show Walking Dead. Not a good look for Casper skin tone. The eyeshadows look to me pretty dupable. I could be wrong. Hopefully it will be at my local Neiman's soon, so I can check it. I also checked the GA site this morning. Nothing there.....

I figured it out. I was on the international site armanibeauty.com. It has the collections listed with photos, but there's no option to buy. Sorry for the false alarm

I haven't seen it in person, or even swatches online. The lipstick does look very pale - I wouldn't buy it without seeing swatches first. I like the nail polish but I didn't want to pay $30 for it, so I think it's a skip for me!

Ahh, mystery solved. Well I still think it'll turn up somewhere soon. I feel like we've been waiting an eternity for Fuchsia Maharajah and the Nars Dual-Intensity blushes - the beauty addict in me is twitching.

​Why I recognize those very signs!!!
