Liberte is a light peachy pink. Here are some pics:

So Charming really reminds me of one of the glossimers from the Constellation collection (I dunno what it was actually called but they were all suuuuuper sparkly), Mica, I think. Mica Rose Le Vernis was from that collection, too.

Pulsion is definitely blue-based and absolutely gorgeous. It's the same brightness as Rose Insolent. On the spectrum from yellow-pink to blue-pink it would go RI, Riviera, Pulsion. I hope that makes sense.

I will get swatches up as soon as I can (Magnolia, Patchouli, and Pink Pulsion will arrive tomorrow). I'm in the process of painting the exterior of our house, and right now, that is taking most of my time. After three days, I'm only up to having 1/2 of the front side of our house primed (after two days of scraping). It's A LOT of work, but in the end, we'll save ourselves at least a couple thousand of dollars.

So what is that pale pink blush & lip pencil or eye pencil in that shot

I'm guessing that's Pink Clouds and the 'clair' pencil from the Fall collection maybe? Since she's got Liberte I'm assuming she's in Asia......

Update: Just got back with my haul!!

Totally skipped teh blush - I like PE better for my skintone.....I also skipped the liquid shadow, but got Charming. As someone mentioned before they've got Mica in the collection despite Futile being on the list.....Mica and Charming are close, but Charming is just a smidge warmer than Mica. I surely didn't need it, but I love the multi-color sparkle ones!

The quad, Pink Pulsion, and Pleasing are

!!!!!

Oh, and I thought I would luck out and get Frivole RA, but of course they didn't have it - I'm on the hunt. I got Incognito instead......Patchouli is pretty, but a very golden beige on me, so I opted for Incognito.

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 - I want to go with you

I guess I missed out

- you're back already

Oh, I'm sorry!

I'll swing by and get you on the next trip.....and then we can hit the road to Nora's!!!

I put Magnolia on again tonight after dinner -

I so love this color!!! Even just a sheer coat is beautiful. Could be my favorite Chanel lipstick color.

Absolutely! I was gonna sit here and sulk until you get me.

oh, I guess when the new specktra site is running - no more happy or naughty smilies or nothin in the signature line any more. I don't know if I can talk/type without my smileys

maybe a different kind of signature platform is the latest news

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!

Sorry to hear about this. Some SAs really do suck. My SA didn't even know about it either until I told her to look online. Once they (she + her manager) saw it, they had to go pull it from the back room. If you spend $150, you get the GWP (15 beauty products) + an eyeshadow and lip palette from Nordstrom.

I belive that blush is Pink Cloud and I believe milkyway on MUA is switchblade here? If that's right she can tell us for sure.

There's gonna be a new specktra site?

I still would like to have Pink Cloud

 

[purrtykitty]

Yep, the new Specktra goes live on Oct. 12th.

Hi Ladies, I need your help. I really want to pick up either Chanel SOHO or Guerlain Meteorites. Which do you think is better? I've heard a mix of feelings on the meteorites but not sure if I should splurge. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance!

Woot! Enjoy your haul!! Incognito may be next on my list after my haul gets delivered. Let me know how you like it!!

I have the SOHO powder and think it is awesome, if you can get past how much of a sliver the pink part is....the 'bronze' color is quite nice (I do not swirl them together). I do not have experience with the Meteorites collection, so I'm no help there. Is the Meteorites you're looking at part of the permanent line? If so, you may want to consider SOHO cuz it's limited.....but then again, I guess it depends on how much you will use it......

Sort of like a ping-pong match, yes?

I was wondering if you liked the SOHO powder! I don't swirl mine together either.
