Chanel Fall 2011

[ultimate_makeup]

Omg those pics of the Rouge blush are making me seriously reconsider... I think I need it. I preordered everything else from Byzance but m scared the RA might be too cool toned for me... The lady at the counter said they wouldn't make testers due to limited quantities so I ordered it bc it looked amazing on pics. Now I kinda want Rouge instead of the lipstick... Thoughts? I'm super anxious to see Sabrina's review on the cream eyenshadows since what we've seen so far aren't exactly raves. I want her in depth reviews haha! I am so close to just buying stuff online... Must resist till I can play with the pieces in store!

Elveneyes -- I know -- once you go Chanel, you don't go back!! I have 2 of the RCS -- they are gorgeous and perfect for summer, but yeah, the staying power isn't too long. I love the way they feel, so I don't mind popping it in my purse to reapply I have so many things on my wishlist, too.

Nora -- loved reading the info on Rose Tourbillon. Sounds very pretty on you!

Gail -- that is good that they confirmed the Byzantine collection will be online -- I really want that quad!

Elegant -- me, too -- I "need" that quad. But I want the fall quad, too LOL At least I can get that one later!

Yes! It is dangerous territory, all these gorgeous colours and formulas! So, where can I find a picture of the Byzantine quad? I think I want the fall one, but must the see Byzantine one to see whom gets bought first!!

Not to mention I still have a list of lipsticks I want desperately!!! Sigh....

I already drooled over the nail polish pics.

[/quote] You and me both, girl. Seriously, they look amazing. Not 100% about Peridot, but knowing myself I cannot say no [quote name="Bonitinha" url="/forum/thread/173882/chanel-fall-2011/720#post_2131732"] Thanks Gail -- I was excited to see Sabrina's pics of the quad. I was worried if it would be close to Dunes, but it looks much cooler. Now waiting to see the swatches of the JC!
[/quote] That's why I am getting it, a cool brown quad [quote name="stv578" url="/forum/thread/173882/chanel-fall-2011/750#post_2131807"] Winthrop - I can finally report back to you (and everyone on here) on the Rose Tourbillon JC. It is bright! Definitely a lot brighter than Pink Explosion, and went on quite pigmented. Here's the thing, I absolutely loved the colour, but my complexion is so much darker than it normally is! It looked like a very cheery raspberry pink colour on, though in the pot, it appears to be a very clean pink, but bright! I'm hesitant to say it's a hot pink, because I tend to think that would apply to something that has more blue in it. I applied it the way I apply all my JC's, but really had to buff it down after. I think that without the tan, it's one of those pinks that I would apply with a bronzer, the way I do with MAC's Sweetness. But I loved it on, very fresh and cheery looking! In comparison, PE looks very muted and it doesn't suit me all that much on its own. Does any of this make sense?!
[/quote] Thanks a lot, that sounds great, but also like a lot of work. Does anyone have Byzantin RC? I am wondering how close it is to the RA Byzantin. Same name, same colour, different formula? TIA

The colors look so gorgeous and pigmented!!

I saw this in Allure - Jil Sander Fashion show - & thought the look was simple modern & stunning. So I must have swatched 30 eyeliners trying to find this particular color. Well, my last swatch happened to be at the Chanel counter and I thought boy that sure looks like the mag. pic. & sure enough, after some research it turned out to be that Chanel eyeliner - Jade. So I ordered it last night & I'm excited to see how this looks on me LOL

There is some confusion as to the lipstick. One said it was MAC SO Chaud, another site said itwa s Chanel Enthusiast ls. I am not familiar or have seen Enthusiast. Anyone have it?

Drool! It looks iridescent! And I am loving my Iridescent e/s palettes from Dior. Oh oh! Me want. Me need.

 

[elegant-one]

The site is NOT working again - very slow, will not load, jumping. Its the ads that it gets hung up loading. It started Friday I noticed

 

[Bonitinha]

Elegant -- I love that pic -- let us know how you like the Jade e/l. You could totally rock that lippie -- I haven't seen that one before!

 

[elegant-one]

I couldn't find Chanel Enthusiast ls? I did order So Chaud ls. we'll so what the heck it looks like on me

You are SO sweet!

 

[Winthrop44]

Interesting. I could have sworn that I used to own So Chaud and that it was a lustre, but when I looked it up on MAC it turns out to be a matte. Guess that's no help. Here are images of Enthusiast if you haven't already seen them:

Also not much help. No idea which it is. I do think both the lipstick and the liner would look great on you though.

So did you happen to order anything else last night?

 

[Winthrop44]

In this review of Enthusiast (an RA) she talks about it being sheer.

It really doesn't look like an RA finish at all on the model, so I'm goin' with So Chaud.

Nope

hahaha - I keep adding things to my cart though.

Hey thanks for that link.

 

[elegant-one]

And, Enthusiast is not available anywhere so I guess that option is out. Not doing ebay

 

[Winthrop44]

Sabrina just put the JC review up:

[elegant-one]

Oh my I think it is Beautiful!!! Perfectly subtle & feminine

What do you think?

 

[Winthrop44]

Yes, I agree. It has less brown in it than I thought it would, but that's ok too~! It could also just be giving that impression because it's next to Rose Dust which is quite brown. Anyway...can't wait to get mine!

 

[elegant-one]

Anyone like Plumetis ls? It looks soft & pretty. Brown?

is it brown? Looks to me like the ls version of RE blush

 

[stv578]

Oh my, the swatch of the blush is beau-ti-ful! It seems to have a slight mauvey tint to it, I bet it'll look gorgeous on a lot of skintones. Ah, I do NOT want to start looking forward to fall yet, lol! But I lovee the fall, chunky sweaters, blue jeans and my new Chanel blush, l/s and polish!

Oh, and Bis, Rose Turbo is not too much work at all! Quite the opposite, it applies nicely and gives my cheeks enough colour so I don't have to do much else.
