Chanel Collection Reflets d'Été de Chanel - Summer 2014

[Medgal07]

Clearly not a low buy thread-------a fun let's buy everything we want thread. What did you order?
I've crossed items off my list and then added them back on & purchased them as I read the ladies' reviews
& see the swatches too. I've done some major damage.

Teger, I love your suggestion to pair Utopia with the liner. Just tried it on one eye since the other one is still bothering me. I'm way too lazy to use the liner over a darker one, it doesn't show up much on me on its own, and I'm not a waterline person....but I love it like this with Utopia! Utopia makes a beautiful wash - so glad I got it! Also love Mirage as an everyday shade.

Sunny looks nothing like the promo pic...unless she used Mirabella nail polish as a liner, lol...but I'm very happy with it too...gives a gorgeous tint to my lips. Peanut shared this video with me which gives an idea of how Sunny and Happy (which I may also get) looks:

Watched the video---thanks for sharing !!!!

Medgal07, I ordered New Moon, Cheeky, and Amber Dore . Not too much but things that I like will really work for summer. I have my eye on a few other things but for now that's it. Waffling about Utopia because I love my purple/lilac/lavender colors!

Thank for suggesting the liners it may help build up some personal colour

I did see the reviews on Temptalia, but I think the video I posted is more like what Sunny looks like on me. Sunny does *tint* my lips. I am going to use it with liners sometimes, but I am also going to use it alone. I also like how it looks alone - it's not just like wearing clear gloss on my lips.

Can someone post a pick of Sunny with OI underneath...I would be so thankful! If it looks like the promo pic I would be SOLD!

 

[Winthrop44]

It's hard to imagine how it wouldn't. By itself like Teger mentioned way back Sunny gives a glossy pink grapefruit tint. If you put that on top of orange you will get what they fudged in the promo pic. It does look beautiful over Chanel Peche or Chantecaille Coral liner, just not as orange as the promo. If I get OI I will post pics.

Onestly,if you look at the promo you don't actually see orange teinted lips but a pinkey translucency ... That's the finish of all the five hues, sunny just being the more "intense" in the quintet (hoping temptalia's swatches are true to real)

i want sunny!! it will be mine. i also really want the orange mascara (sorry don't know name). i have no idea why i want all this orange but i must own them! lol. i did purge all of my lip glosses and i'm down to a nice small amount and sunny would fit in beautifully. i do like sexy too but i'm thinking that it's not as unique (for me).

 

[Winthrop44]

Unfortunately they canned the orange mascara - they didn't come out with it in the end.

 

[Starlight77]

really? booo i really wanted to try it.

Bummer, that and the purple mascara were the items I looked forward the most. Was there a reason why they canned the orange one?

 

[Winthrop44]

No idea. Maybe Teger would know?

I have also become a fan of Sunny. I went back to my local Chanel counter and purchased it along with the orangey np (Mirabella?). I have been wearing Sunny over a light layer of MAC's Betty Bright. I really like the look.

Hi ladies! I just bought cheeky yesterday and this will be my first Chanel creme blush. While the shade is stunning, it seems to be crumbling up a little in the pan. I use Mac 159 brush to apply. Is this normal for Chanel creme blush formula?

There's just something about Sunny that draws you in. So glad I ordered it.

OMG---I have several Chanel blush crémes and I've never seen one crumble. I have Cheeky but I've not yet used it. I hope this is just a dud and not what we
can expect to come. I use a MAC 131 for my crémes. Just based on my experience w/them I don't think I'd keep that one.

Quick question for my woc specktras, I have a chance to get the chanel de soliel in a makeup swap. Been kinda wanting it but not sure if it will show up on me. Does it show up on dark skin tones , any info would be appreciated.

If you're referring to the bronzing makeup base----swap away. Debbs encouraged me to try it and it has become my go-to base. I think Debbs is just a tad darker
than you and me and she enjoys the product immensely. I'm even able to wear it on its own w/o foundation, but it gives me a flawless face when I wear it under
foundation.

medal, thank you for your response. Even the tester at Nordies crumbled...... I ran my finger over it and it kind of rolled up....lf that makes any sense. Ok, so that is not how these are supposed to be. Too bad, the color is so lovely!

I'm pulling mine out first thing tomorrow just to see how it performs--I'm really concerned now.

Hi! I also just got Cheeky and I did notice that it has a slightly different texture than the other creme blushes. I do like how it looks on me so it's a keeper. But I'm definitely not going to get a backup, even if it's LE.
