Chanel Rouge Noir Absolument - Holiday 2015

[Medgal07]

They are! And I have been able to also get affinite, intonation, and revelation. I found presage and am debating if I want it. So all I need now is fantastic and inspiration. So far I've only paid retail.

Presage is my favorite------it's nearly all used up

I rarely finish anything!

I went and tried golden sun on and am adding it to my preorder. It's bad lighting here but I really like it:

Yay! Glad you like it. I like it very much- I've been wearing it a lot lately with a simple make-up look.

 

[Medgal07]

Wow! I'm nowhere close lol

That's because you have way too much makeup

 

[Medgal07]

That's great!!! It looks very natural & pretty on you.

I love it for its subtlety------it's perfect for when I want my cheeks to be there----but just quietly.

[Medgal07]

Alezane is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

........and it goes with almost ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

I almost forgot Sissies (EO & VEE)

Today I applied my Dior Blush Cheek Stick Velvet Colour Crème Rosewood using the new Chanel brush--- and OMG!!! EO you were so right---what a perfect tool for applying cream blush. It blended so nicely and its' angular shape is just perfect for this. I haven't yet used it with foundation but I think it'll also be good for applying highlighters. I just might need to get a third one!!!

Lovely!

[COLOR=0000FF]   That's because you have way too much makeup:haha: [/COLOR]

I hardly wear anything on my cheeks now. Should look into giving some stuff away, I probably won't miss anything because I have so much now lol

On purging your stash, it is a good idea. The County where my P's live there is only one shelter for women and children. When donations are made it is usually clothing, bedding, etc. This shelter helps these women obtain the items for starting fresh. Think of all the stuff we all took from whomever in our first apartment???? These women also receive training for becoming employed. What is forgotten, and we all so know it is true. When in the job interview they look at you as an entire package. As in, is your hair brushed? Too much or no makeup? Especially if this is a job where you will be representing the company, be it the lady at the window or whatever.

That is why on many occasions my Mom donates her makeup to this shelter. As in she brings it to the actual shelter, usually with a MUA to show the ladies how to use it. I often bring extra items with me when I work the fires. Again, a touch of lipstick, blush, even when you have lost everything, does make you feel just a tad bit better.

That's really great [@]ashievic[/@]! I donate clothes and shoes often but my makeup I give to my friend. After she had her baby she does not spend on herself and she is so good with makeup. She makes everything work.

That is so awesome of you guys!

I try to do it as often as possible. I can always find something new or work suits in great condition. You just never know how much it could mean to someone. Two of my colleagues do huge Christmas donations so we help with cash. Last year one of them was telling me they gave out pillows in a particular neighbourhood and people were so excited. Pillows. Something one could easily take for granted. I was in tears.

Ooh, I need to try it with the stick blushes. I LOVE this blush with the stripe powder.

So I snagged Affinite at Macy's for next to nothing (Thank you Plenti points and gift cards!). It looks like I can get Presage from Saks if I'm willing to break my no-buy from them (maybe with 10% and $25 gift card). Intonation I can grab from Bloomies (maybe 10% **Do I need Intonation if I have Chamade??). Revelation and Fantastic are no where to be found. Inspiration I can get from Izzy's for almost $60 (counting shipping) or a tester on ebay for about $33....does anyone have experience with buying testers off ebay? Inspiration is one of the ones I wanted the most.

Sorry to detour Holiday stuff momentarily and THANK YOU for the help/advice!

I've done it and I find they hold up well. Just got Turbulent that way and I've gotten others.
