Yes it's lovely. Sorry if my references to it's sheerness threw anyone off. I never meant it was "overly" sheer just very sheer in comparison to the typical, usually quite opaque, Rouge Coco texture.

Well he finally got it here. Yes, those words - watermelon pink - was like throwing a bone out in front of a dog to me

I just ordered Tweed Fuchsia blush

well, I figure now I will have a coordinating set of pinks

I want a soft pink Chanel l/s and if there aren't any from RC, I will go to the RA. Is OPI's That's Hot! Pink! a dupe for Pulsion?

Sorry I didn't get Rose Dentelle to compare. I only picked up Chintz and Chalys. It is a really lovely lipstick but it is definately on the creamy side as Chintz was and not fully opaque as most of the other RCs.

damn it Elegant now I want Magnolia too

I don't think I have any medium Chanel pink l/s. Only reds, corals, vampy shades and bright pinks...

Yeah you can get a sheer app. too

no worries totally understood that. It does have that rose smell, but not as bad as some. I may let it air out a bit.

Yes I'm with you 100% on that. That is what really made me consider adding it to my order today.

I also just realized they still have stock of Plum Attraction. I regretted not getting it before. Do you guys think it would work for me with a skunk brush with my fair skin?

Exactly! It fills Chanels color gap for pinks - I think. Sorry

Agghhh, I so wanted PA

Yes, it will be pretty on fair skin & yes a very light touch with a skunk brush - its whoa pigmented

I think you'll love it! So they are still having site issues

Its like they can't add a new collection without the site going crazy

I'm not exactly fair but more like light medium (NW25) and I cannot pull off Plum Attraction with a blush brush. I have to appply a teeny tiny bit with a powder blush and then buff it in. But once I do all that it's gorgeous

. I can't stop wearing it. I'm wearing today in fact with MAC Rebel l/s on the lips

I am not seeing Liberte extrait de gloss anywhere online either, including Chanel. My understanding is that it's Asia only except that Saks has it at counters right now as an LE item.

Thanks for the Magnolia swatches elegant. Can't wait to get it next week at the mall!

 

[Ingenue]

OMG you guys, the eyeshadow palette... you.can't.even.imagine!!!!!!!

:happydan ce:

I traded in the mascara last night for the palette (despite the one that's coming on Friday from NM) and used it today. I'm putting pictures of it on my blog tonight.

It's SO PIGMENTED that you have to blend it down! It's even more pigmented than Enigma... especially that brown. And the pink color is the PERFECT complement to the brown and bronze. It's amazing. Omg.

I passed on the tweed fuschia blush. I decided that I'm not liking any of the brighter colors in this collection.

But I AM going back for another Pleasing Lipgloss...

Now it's not there! What in the world?

Maybe I imagined it?? LOL
I thought I saw it on the Chanel site, but maybe it was an advertisement or something.

EDIT: When I google Liberte extrait de gloss, there is a chanel link:
http://www.chanel.com/en_SG/fragranc...E-GLOSS-118471
When I clicked on View Shades -- Liberte was the 3rd color in the top row of the little swatches. But it won't let you add it to the cart.
So, now I know I wasn't crazy for seeing it LOL It just won't let me buy it

Shadowy Lady, I hope you love Fuchsia tweed as much as I do. I can't wait to get my goodies. I have to wait another week - after the Chanel facial to pick up my purchases + GWP. They have a pretty nice offer going on at Nordstrom. You get Sublimage, a lip liner, and Chanel Chance mini.

hmmm...that means I should skip it. None pink nudes are not very flattering on me.



Thanks you for your review and swatches

My list is confirmed now: Pleasing and Pink Pulsion glossimers plus the Fuchsia tweed blush. I will call my Chanel counter and put them on hold

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

Oh my goodness, Magnolia looks like just the thing I was hoping for! Thank you for the pics, elegant! I also have rather pigmented lips, so that's good to know.

That gets you to Chanel Asia, so that's the problem.

Look on the lower right of the page - it's the English version of Asia's Chanel site. You can also get there by going to chanel.com, and selecting language on the lower left. From there you can go to a variety of countries' sites and peruse. It's fun, I've been looking at what Asia offers lately because I may be swapping with someone from China.

LOL -- what a dork I am! Got a lil' excited about that gloss! Grrr, why do they have country exclusives anyways!

I should never count my ladies at Macy's out....shock of shocks, my 'fave' there called me today to say the Holiday collection is in

, so she's holding several items for me!!

I'm going to try to get up there tonight....I can't wait!!!!

She's holding the quad, Pleasing and Pink Pulsion (and maybe Charming) as well as the fluid eye shadow, and Magnolia RC. I think I'm skipping the blush, as I have scads of pink blushes that I love.....I think Pink Explosion satisfied my bright pink blush lemming......at least for now!

How exciting!! Enjoy your shopping trip!! I hope you are feeling better!

I'm so jealous of you ladies with counters nearby. I would love to be able to peruse a counter! Wow what I really need to do is go CLOTHES shopping. I have almost nothing right now after 3 1/2 years of pregnancies and post baby bod. Stuff from prior is too big or in terrible condition. I NEED to go shopping but getting rid of the kids for a day and making the 1 1/2 hour each way trip to decent shopping just hasn't managed to happen. I miss maternity leave

I love Pleasing too! I was wondering if it was crazy to back up. I guess not.

Can anyone describe this color? I'm hearing about it so much, my curiosity is piqued (sp??).

I just read about a GWP at Nordstrom on the Natural and Chic Makeup Blog. What happened to my GWP? I spent a little over $200 and all I got were some moisturizer samples. I really stinks after I went back to get the correct blush when they gave me the wrong one. The SA didn't even put it aside like she said she would when I called and there were only 2 left!
