Chanel Fall 2015

[bunnypoet]

I wonder if she's extra critical about the products she purchases herself.

I've wondered the same thing. I always take these reviews with a grain of salt.

[COLOR=0000FF]   I've said that for years!!![/COLOR]

When I saw her eye-look for the quint-- I was shell shocked. It looked like she didn't put anything on her eye... Literally! I don't understand. I swatched these on my hand in person. There is no way it could look like that on the lid.

it's always with every eye look
i skipped something from chanel years ago after seeing her look it was so sheer you could barely see the colors. and then a year or two later i saw this quad at the counter and was so shocked how pigmented it was
she doesn't use eye primer (stupid)

I always appreciate her swatch gallery and dupes and such.

I don't think I've ever met a product that was colour-accurate to its swatch on her website.

It's just not a useful blog to me, and I haven't been there in months.

Clicking the above link: La Bouleversante, which gets a C from her, I have and adore!

Traded in new moon for the new blusher in the shade Alezane! It's my first chanel blush i love the color...but it's highly fragranced. Is that normal for her blushers?

Feeling MUCH better

Yep - Chanel blushes are rose scented. It can be distracting for me to catch a whiff of it during the day as I turn my head.

I find some to be more "smelly" than others. It'll wear off as time goes on. I have one that's a year old and while it still smells a little bit its not as smelly. But most Chanel products are highly fragranced.

I just got a headache weird cause I can usually handle fragrance...

I hope it wears off soon.. I'm normally not sensitive to fragranced makeup, but this smell is giving me a headache. First new moon, now alezane maybe chanel and I are not meant to be!

She gave La Bouleversante a C!!!!!

I LOVE it too.

OMG - I just read the review. Shocker - IT'S DRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is NOT!

 

[Psych1]

She almost always gives Chanel C and below, especially the eye shadows. Always complains they are dry & lack pigmented, it's the same review every time.

For someone who doesn't like the new site---you spend a lot of time on it

It's easier on mobile for me

How fabulous would it be for her and her subscribers if she used a makeup artist with skills to demo the
eyeshadows? Like you Monsy, I skipped a palette only to see its full potential demonstrated by a You Tuber
with MU skills. Lesson learned!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Yup

YAY!!!! And YES!!!!! It's the new JC for fall!!! Good exchange. I love this one. The fragrance dissipates pretty
quickly. You just might become a collector of Chanel JCs---there's even a thread for them!

I notice she gave Pensive a D+ and says it is slightly drying and settles into lines. I like the shade from swatches I've seen on line but I have very dry lips so am wondering if I should get it or not. I don't really trust her reviews. And I'm curious how the ladies that have tried Pensive , found this particular RA? Thanks.

 

[Medgal07]

Chanel Rouge Noir

Beautiful Sis!!!!!! Do you have the NP too?

Sorry Kate, but I didn't purchase Pensive. I'm a habitual user of lip primer or balm with ALL of my lipsticks because I tend to have dry lips. My fav is Chanel Rouge Coco
Baume Hydrant.

Unfortunately no.

Thanks Medgal, I also use lip balms on its own and under lipstick but my lips are still dry. One of the few lip products that I find actually improves the condition of my lips is the Dior Addict fluid stick. I'll have to try the Rouge Coco Baume. Thanks for the recommendation.
