Chanel Rouge Noir Absolument - Holiday 2015

[Medgal07]

This thread BLEW UP since the last time I was able to hop on specktra. I've been soooo horribly busy lately.

I now have a huge list of the small RA collection and the holiday collection. Although, I'm getting all sorts of mixed up when it comes to names and colors and such.

It is a bit confusing sorting through---I only purchased 4 items from RA---I expect to get almost all of holiday!!!

It's not the final deciding factor but T's reviews help me a lot. I can't see these items IRL before buying and I find the site helpful. It's a massive undertaking and I appreciate it.

I agree---a huge task and no one is obligated to go to that site!!!!

Ooh I like Pink Twist. Thanks for the link.


Ooh Bergdorf's has this. The other stores will have it soon if they don't already. Tempted to run to Bergdorf's tomorrow. I will see if I can hold out for the middle of the week. I think Bloomies is having Triple Points on cosmetics again. My list is endless.

That's what I do. I don't read the reviews.

. I find them----well----- a bit DRY!

I kinda like the plum aspect, but I still wish it was more burgundy. I'm worried that on me it will just look dark brown, which I do not want.

My exact dilemma and I know its going to pull brown on me because its' plum on T and shades are always opposite on me what they are on her.

And even then, Nordies has it hidden! I wish they would list the items as new and separately like most other retailers do. I'm too much of a mess to keep track of things and go hunting. I need to sort by new and see what I want.

Bergdorf's was the only retailer to show and list them as new, but even then, they had the names/pics of the NPs reversed.

True. I meant more in general. Nordies usually hides things with the permanent items while other stores list them as new and as a unique item with its own listing. It makes life easier for me, especially when collections are so confusing! And forget about when they mess up names/pics.....I'm done for!

It cracks me up the stupid free samples come real UPS, then the product I actually ordered comes dumb post. I checked, it is coming from the warehouse, not a store, as suggested previously why this occurs. So I can get what I don't care about in 2 days, but what I really want I have to wait 7-10 days, ugh......

That's so true Ash!!!

Since I am now in a place where I have no access to stores, the only other alternative is buying and returning which is a big pain. I was thinking the IDO might be in the realm of TF Enchanted 4 and she compared them. That is helpful in making a decision. Right now, I am thinking about the eye quad, the khol and maybe even the mascara. I like the formula to begin with and Linda raved about it. I'm also feeling that Adoree would work with this collection. Though admit I am tempted by the plum dual intensity. The black red glossimer I have less interest in having seen Ernie's swatches.

I don't put much stock into reviews either because I don't know if I'm going to like a product until I see it for myself. I was mislead numerous times in the past when I relied on reviews especially from T. I look at the swatches to get a general idea and the comparisons are very helpful but what a blogger says is not going make me buy the product or not.

How do you think I found JCL Coup de Minuit to begin with----it was buried & backordered. I knew where to look Macy's is notorious for that too!!!

They really make us work for it!!!

I hope I'm able to narrow my list a bit

the spring collections are on the horizon already!!!

Since a comment was made earlier, I looked at the promo pic. Yes, she does look like she is dealing with a sinus infection or having a facial massage. Don't know if this is still going, but Selfridges is offering free International shipping on products that can be shipped Internationally. Got an email yesterday for it.

Just so you all know, I had to stop and think for 5 minutes to remember to add about Selfridges. I knew I had something else to post, but darn could I remember what it was, ugh.

That's interesting considering they never offer free shipping in the UK
