Chanel Rouge Noir Absolument - Holiday 2015

[Winthrop44]

Well it looks like the change was/ is not perm because my new Nordies order is shipping UPS. Maybe UPS lowered their rate in order to keep Nordies business because that would have been a huge lost for UPS and a huge gain for USPS. I'm just happy they worked it out and I can relax knowing my packages are protected.

I dunno....I think there's a rhyme or reason to it but I haven't figured out exactly what it is yet. I ordered some running shoes and they're coming via UPS but every MU item I've ordered has come via USPS. Like others have said it may be a function of your location and which warehouse what you ordered is coming from or a specific dollar amount of the order. I guess it'll become obvious over time.

Edit: Here is what I was just told in Live Chat: "Our system looks at where the item is shipping from and where it has to go and then picks the most efficient method of delivery."

All of my last 4 items from Nordies came by USPS. They did arrive fairly quick, but I still prefer UPS for security reasons.

Oh okay. Yeah my past order with the CL lipstick came USPS but I ordered Chanel loose powder along with some clothing and it's coming UPS. So I guess it does depend on where the items are being filled and they choose the best shipping for that area as UPS is probably not always the most convient option and could be why the shipping does take so long. So adding USPS is for our benifit and an effort to get our items sooner.

The USPS orders have come at the same time it would have come UPS for me so it hasn't made a difference in that regard. Well much like with everything else in the world some people will benefit from the change while some won't.

Oh, I hope at least some of my future orders are UPS. You gave me some hope! Lol. My last few orders have all been USPS. Shipping time-wise it's been about the same for me.

Each time I go out of town for work I'm getting stressed out because of this package delivery situation. With a lot of backordered/delayed items lately, I can't always perfectly time orders.

[COLOR=EE82EE]​I wore quite a few of my goodies from this collection today and I'm in love with everything.  RA Rouge Noir world well w/a c=Chanel lip pencil that I've had for a long time---Rouge Noir Vamp.  I put just a dab of the[/COLOR][COLOR=EE82EE] Glossimer, Etincelle in the center of my lips---so amazing!!![/COLOR]  [COLOR=EE82EE]The IDO is so gorgeous on the eyes----I worked it in w/my YSL Metal Clash palette & love the look so much I'm repeating it for Saturday date night.  Lastly, JC [/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]Coup de Minuit is really lovely---I used it as a highlighter, including as a brow and inner corner of the eyes highlighter.  I Love this collection so much!!!![/COLOR]

I'm glad you love the collection, I'm using at least one thing everyday, can't wait for the palette to complete the collection. I ended up buying RA Rouge Noir l/s to wear with Etincelle. Hope you had a great date night! :encore:

Thank you for the swatches!! What do you think?

I think I need it! :bigstar: the gold is amazing in this palette! Will be nice with the gold pencil.

Yay!

Lovely swatches.

thanks!

ompom: Well at least your display wasn't plastic :haha: The shades look really lovely! Thanks again dear.

Yes we must get it already! Hope you are feeling better!

Do you think Rose Fusion is close enough to Quartz? that's one NP I never got my hands on that always wanted

Quartz is more taupe, Rose Fusion has more pink and a bit of duo chrome. :eyelove::eyelove::eyelove:

 

[Ernie]

Thank you SO much! I've had a simply terrible day, and your kindness made me smile.

Hope all is better now..

Do we need to cut someone?

[COLOR=EE82EE]My RA  Rouge Noir arrived today via USPS.  I ordered it on Tuesday Oct 20.  This is the fastest I've ever gotten anything from Nordies---my Nordies orders usually take at least 5 days to reach me.[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]My JC Lumière arrived yesterday but that was a pre-order.  I love them both and can't wait to wear the JC, which buffs to a lovely sheen on my wrist.[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]​After the quad arrives I'll be done with this lovely collection[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]Major Boobage/Nip [/COLOR]:haha: [COLOR=EE82EE]Love RA Rouge Noir[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]The unevenness of the RN swatch is because I was using my left hand[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]quite awkwardly.  The lipstick is not patchy as this poor swatch may suggest.[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE] Bottom to top:    Chanel RA Rouge Noir 109[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]                           Tom Ford Bruised Plum[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]                           Christian Louboutin Djalouzi[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]                           YSL Grenat Satisfaction[/COLOR]

It does exist!!!!! Thanks Ernie

The grey/taupe color in the quad looks a lot more brown than I expected. Does it look that way to you, Ernie? Thanks so much for swatches.

So far, I've received the Khol and the ultra noir mascara. I'm not blown away by the ultra noir--- has anyone else tried it?

The Khol color is beautiful.

I don't particularly Like the ultre noir. Too. Way too "cakey"

I agree---and for the UPS updates and the ability to alter/change a delivery date/time.

I've tried both. I was a tad rushed today when I used the mascara-----I need to try it again. It did play well with the entire look.

 

[Medgal07]

I'm pretty sure it's the one in the last quote below but I can't open it up to check just now.


I tried it the gloss with Farouche but I like Farouche plain better. I do have a YSL burgundy Glossy Stain. I'll give that a try but TBH I'm really not into layering much.

I understand.

 

[Medgal07]

Quartz is more taupe, Rose Fusion has more pink and a bit of duo chrome.

I love this combo. DN was fun, thanks!!!
I agree---the gold E/S in the quad will be great with Or Safran

 

[Medgal07]

Yeah I prefer the look of Ebloui here

Ebloui looks more bronze IRL. The swatch doesn't show the red micro shimmer that's apparent when on the eye---OMG--it's gorgeous!!!! That's when it really takes on a burgundy hue for me.

 

[Medgal07]

Very nice!

Thanks Ernie.

Interesting ---so in essence we'll experience both and won't know which until the shipping notice updates, if at all.
