I use the hydra serum when I am in the desert climate for work. To go from 20 below zero to 80's in one plane ride my face gets as dry as the desert I am working in, ugh. I use the Le Lift fine for moisturizer. Love the Sublimage cleanser, but the price is a killer. I told my mom yesterday I wanted to get botox. Thought if she could kill me through the phone she would have. She does have point, just don't tell her....my skin is super sensitive. Botox take about 6 months to truly dissolve. Hence if I have a reaction, I will have to deal with it for six months. I just want it for those vertical lines above the bridge of my nose in my forehead. Any of you have experiences with botox?

I don't remember where I posted about the Lippmann Barney exclusive nail polish. It arrived today. The blue on really looks like the gem stone Tanzinite. A violet/blue that changes color!!! Had a crisis this morning. Realized I do not own a neutral lipstick that does not have pink undertones. Must fix that tomorrow when I go to Neiman's for my monthly Chanel facial. The Chanel facial is a true guilty pleasure. They use the products I actually use, and I don't need a scraper to remove the layer of yuck like I had when I had a LaPrairie facial. Love the hand cream in my box of goodies. Although my mom seems to have it now. Since it diminishes darks spots on your hands.

And then they need to make me a Tisse Soleil les 4 ombres with tangerine, sunset yellow, peach and coral shades lol tout de suite

Is there already a thread for the Blue Notes de Chanel? Chic profile seems to think it will be on Nordies and Macys in June:

For those of you who missed out on the Holiday nail polish from 2012 (I think that was the year) of Malice, I have actually found an exact dupe!!! It is only sold at Barney's, Deborah Lippmann's Bettina's Song. It has the white cap. Barney's carries several polishes from Lippmann that are 100% exclusive theirs. They all have white caps. When I say exact, it truly is. No longer a need to pay huge dollars for Malice on eBay!!!! It retails for 24.00. If my house was on fire and I could only save one nail polish it so would be Malice!!!!

June is my birthday month and I am gearing up to do some damage!

My daughter's BD is June 19 and I've already started buying her gifts and putting them away until then. What do you have your eyes on for your BD in addition to
Blue Notes De Chanel???

All the things! Lol. I'm not even sure. My birthday is the 2nd and MAC's big summer collections usually come out my birthday week so I may get something from there. I'm also excited for the TF summer collection (I estimate most of my moolah will drop there). I may also get one of the new Guerlain bronzers depending on the shade. I'm just going to buy whatever I feel like... impulse shopping for your birthday is just the best hehe.

Oh... and that Chanel summer bronzer/highlighter. I may get the blue palette from the Blue Notes de Chanel also.

I am a June b'day too!!! Gee, maybe I can get my brother to open his wallet. The moths will fly out if he does!!!!! Since he a serious saver. I keep hearing there are needs and wants....you need toothpaste, you want nail polish.

Noo.... we needs zee makeup.

Hello ladies! For all the Canadians out there, prices go up March 1st (Sunday!). All lipsticks are going to be $42, the new Rouge Cocos are already this price. Glossimers are $34 (was $31) , nail polishes $31 (!?!) (was 27), Joues Contraste blushes $51 (was 48). Vitalumiere Aqua has a huge $6 increase, it will be $64. Skincare also had a huge jump, some as much as $20. If my memory is correct, I don't believe Chanel has ever increased the prices of their products in Canada within the past 5 years. Maybe my memory is fooling me, lol.

 

[ashievic]

That is depressing. In the States we have already been hit with price increases. Sublimage cleanser has gone up 5.00, the rest of that line remains the same. But it is absurd what they charge for Sublimage, but my Mom swears by it. And her face is wrinkle free, so as she tells my Dad it is cheaper then a plastic surgeon.

 

[Yazmin]

Those price increases are crazy!

 

[ashievic]

Totally agree, but the only way to protest is not to purchase, or purchase less.

That sounds like a great plan!!!!

The price increase for the Armani Runway collection is a killer, 20.00 more then the Holiday 2014 for the eye/powder compact and I think 6.00 maybe it is 5.00 more for the lipstick. Then 10.00 more for the nail polish, really??? This collection hopefully will be all that and then some to justify these HUGE price increases for this collection.

Yup.

I've been cutting back on purchases anyway, and a price increase makes it easier. I'm always curious as to how far higher end brands will push price increases - something will have to give at some point. I mean, I have a max price point I'll pay for a Joues Contraste blush, for example, and at this rate, it'll hit that in the next year or two - then it's a wrap!
