Chanel Fall 2011

[QueenOfSnark]

It's sold out online now. I read on MUA that it sold out yesterday.

I knew it would sell out the moment Temptalia wrote about it. I'm glad she wasn't super fast about commenting about it as other stuff, as people tend to stampede after anything she gives the thumbs' up to.

^^ Haha ...you caught my post before I edited. It was OOS this afternoon but as of 5 minutes ago it was available again. And now it is gone again! lololol

 

[QueenOfSnark]

^LOL, well as long as Chanel doesn't turn into another MAC, it's all good.

Ha! Now that it's gone, I won't have to think about it anymore. Good. My mind is at ease. I am itching for some new makeup, though. I'm a fiend.

Epatant looked really frosty on my lid. It's not my fave look. I loved the color, but it made my lids look kinda wrinkly. It was also a pain to remove and of course, it irritated my skin so I had to return it. Having said that, though it wasn't as much of a glitter disaster as the Mac cham pale paint pots. Those were a nightmare!

Ooh, good to know. I already have to be careful with frost finishes, so I don't need something that's going to add to the problem. Although I didn't really mind the Cam-Pots that I got. Then again, I don't use them all that often, either...

It's weird right now because there are NO new collections coming into Canada at the moment. I think everything is due in August only, so it's a remarkably lifeless affair going makeup shopping. Then again, in August, I'll be in the poor house.

^^ It's the same here at the moment too, except for mac which launched semi precious and the flower collection last week. So the only LE items in this collection are Peridot and Graphite? I probably will not buy the perm items immediately but I will be at the counter swatching and testing all of them when they arrive lol.

Isn't the highlight powder for the holiday collection, not fall? *slightly confused*

There is also a highlight powder that's part of the Nordie's Anniversary sale - I have 2 of them on hold that I'll be picking up Friday - they've already sold out of them.....

I'm not surprised that Topkapi has sold out on the US site although it is shocking how soon after Temptalia's review it sold out!

 

[Winthrop44]

I doubt there were very many left by the time Christine reviewed it on 7/11....it did go online 6/29.

 

[Miss QQ]

Cheryl - can't wait to hear about the highlighters!

Yes thats true, I'm surprised it lasted that long I mean everything about the palette is great!

 

[QueenOfSnark]

Ohh, I totally forgot about the highlighter from the Nordies Anniversary sale. To me it looked pretty silvery/frosty, but on Amy from cafemakeup it looks more golden. Too bad it's already sold out at my Nordies, I might've picked one up. Money saved for the holiday powder, right?

I find that the creme shadows do look best when everything else is matte. That is what I try to stick to when I use them.

See, when I got my face done with a Chanel MUA Epatant turned into a MAJOR glitter bomb, even after she tried to tone it down...then again, she tried to tone it down using Espiegle blush (which is glittery, I believe), so...maybe a matte shadow would've been better. Ebloui was much more toned down even on its own though.

For anyone who missed Topkapi and still wants it...it is now showing as Backordered and you can place an order.

 

[Alisha1]

^Thats great that Chanel are backordering Topkapi - its great and everyone should have a chance to get it!

I got Ultra Wear Lip colour in Rose Morganite today from a CP. I wanted to get a few other things from this collection but as I never had the funds I thought I'd just get what is not going to be available in the UK

I put on this colour as soon as I got home and love it! I tried to blot but the colour does not budge!

Its a shame this formula is not available in the UK

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ It looks beautiful in the pics! Enjoy! It's not available in my country too - I wonder why. Is there something in the formula that is banned?

Thats strange I thought it was just the UK :s Yes maybe its to do with the formula or maybe its just exclusive to America

 

[Miss QQ]

Yeah it's a mystery and I would like to know why. On to better news, I received a mailer today annoucing the fall collection will arrive on 29th July for me!

Here are two looks using the Byzance collection.

I thought it was only certain colors that were US-only, but the double-ended lippy is US-only entirely? Hrm, maybe there's an ingredient in it that's banned in Europe/Asia?

I guess they are as there not on the UK chanel site nor other department stores :/
