Chanel Bombay Express Collection June 2012

[bis]

I agree -- that's exactly what I like about it bis. Delight is too warm for me and Graphite too cool and I got rid of both.

I hope it works out for you. I adore Graphite, but have not tried Delight yet.

 

[Ikram]

oh, I love this

for me JC, nail polish for sure

will decide on the highlighter since the price will be for sure above the top.

 

[Naynadine]

OK, I guess the powder IS a highlighter/poudre compact and not an eyeshadow. Sorry for the confusion.

I would be interested in Diwali n/p, I skipped Delight too. But I doubt we'll get the collection in Germany.

Nothing to be

about! Thanks for finding the link and for reminding us about this collection. This thread was waaaay down and probably most people had forgotten all about it. I sure did.

 

[Ingenue]

Hmmm.. that Illusion d' Ombre is calling my name...

 

[QueenOfSnark]

I think I'm pretty much going to skip this collection. Horrifying, I know.

Since I just started a new job though I'm being reeealllyyy conservative with my purchases, and there's nothing here that I can't dupe in my stash as is.

*'Course all bets are off with the new RAs being released in the fall.

I didn't end up getting Delight and got rid of my Graphite, too. Diwali does look tempting.

Congrats on the new job QoS!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Congrats, QoS! I'm curious to see Diwali too. I have Graphite and I like it. I don't like Delight, I have decided to pass it. It has a pink cast to it and didn't call out to me.

 

[bis]

Congrats on the new job, QoS!

I've just remembered this one, that gold powder and the nail polish will be mine. Does anyone know when it's coming out in the UK and whether it will be a Harrods exclusive or Selfridges exclusive? I need to get my hands on them, lol.

 

[nudibelle]

Just nailpolish for me Greens red oranges..colors would scream India too me A good green liner would have been amazing with the golds an neutrals

 

[cutemiauw]

Dang I want the nail polish! I think it'll suit me better than Island... although I already got Island. Oh wait, Europe will not get this collection? Oh well then, money saved

.

QoS - congrats on the new job!

 

[Anitacska]

It will be available in the UK from Selfrdiges and Chanel Boutiques. Just trying to find out when and whether it'll be online as well.

^^ Ah okay, good to know . I have a couple of Chanel boutiques nearby... well not completely nearby but Berlin definitely has a couple of them . I'll go and check them out in June then. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[katred]

I'd forgotten about this one! I'm very curious about Diwali. I'm wondering if Nirvana would make a good base for smoky looks. I usually use Mac's Blackground... Then again, this seems a bit pricey to use just as a base, and I don't really see myself sporting a matte black all-over shadow look anytime soon.

I'm not even sure we'll get this one. We didn't get Byzance last year, so I suspect we won't, at least not in Montreal.

 

[QueenOfSnark]

Thanks for all the well-wishes everyone!

So I totally forgot the Brume D'Or JC that's being released in this collection. Do I need it? I'm kinda close in skin tone to the Bombay Express model here, but not as red/a little more yellow in tone. Will BdO even show up on me? How does it compare to Fandango?

I might spring for Diwali too--I got Miami Peach through a swap recently and was impressed with Chanel's formula. I think Diwali will be one of those rare colors not so easily duped.

Ah, who am I kidding, I might cave and get the highlighting powder too, it's just too pretty to pass up. >_> Texture will really be a determining factor, as I have a ton of gold highlighters--I'm like Gold Member when it comes to highlighters. If it's buttery soft (and NOT $80) it'll be a day 1 purchase.

 

[Winthrop44]

So I take it the new job is going well?

 

[QueenOfSnark]

^LOL that it is! As excited as I'm getting for this though I may just get Diwali after all. After using MMU for so many months I wore one of my JCs today and had a pimple on my cheek by the end of the day. :/ I may have to purge my stash of ALL non-MMU except for eyeshadows and lippies.

 

[Winthrop44]

Oh that's too bad. Have you tried comparing to see if you have reactions with BOTH the baked and the US JCs? You might be able to keep whatever you have of one or the other formula? I've been purging my baked ones for the same reason, and Horizon doesn't agree with my skin either.
