On the right side of the checkout page where you choose your Shipping Method...look just below that. There's a little grey box where you enter the code. Above the box it says "Enter Promotion"

Thanks so much. Now I just saw swatches of Brun Rose and Natural Chic makeup wrote that it is amazing combo with the highlighter sooooooo I dont know. Decisions, decisions. Certainly Rouge JC is the most unique and had amazing reviews. But Brun Rose seems such great sweet subtle shade.

And Rose Carat is growing on me. Also Dior's Exquix is gorgeous, I waaaaant.

Now my list went from zero for Chanel Holiday to Rose Carat, possibly highlighter (probably yes)and possibly Brun Rose. Still saying no to all lippies.
I am passing on Guerlain for now, if Sephora gets itI might pick up a quad form fall (I have a gift card). And I know for sure I am getting Burberry Fresh Glow highlighter (it is amazig) in 2 weeks, they have an event.

I'm going to have to change my opinion this morning since I was on my friend's crappy netbook yesterday when I posted, and today I'm looking at the swatches on my much better LED monitor. Wow, the swatches look MUCH different as I actually think naturalnchic has warmer tones in her skin than bestthingsinbeauty (though I'm still much darker than both). I can see the gold shimmer in both Enivree and Famous, so those are staying in my shopping list. I agree with you Winthrop that I think RB leans more cool/magenta whereas Famous has more pink, and RB's sapphire shimmer cools the color where Famous's gold warms it up. I have a feeling Famous will be a much-reached-for red for me.

It looks so beautiful & typically subtle Chanel.

I will let you guys know about the items I got when they arrive ;) Off to order BR & maybe Sweet Beige - its so pretty

We were going to make the long trek to see everything in person today but we were just too tired after the kids left. Hubs knows that I always get depressed after they leave

All those swatches are just too lovely to resist.

So far I got the highlighter and the Rouge Carat polish. I'm tempted by the Sweet Beige glossimer and the Brun Rose blush, but I don't
see the limited edition sign on the Brun Rose, so if it's permanent i'll wait a little while.

Sweet Beige does look super pretty and nicely pigmented in the swatches!

Sorry about the after-visit depression elegant. Hope it passes quickly. That restaurant you all ate at sounds SO beautiful!

So very early this morning I order the 2 RAs. the RC np, Triomphal Extrait gloss! I'm going to wait to see the blush in person. Passed on the highlighter - for now.

I bought those new Express red pants today to wear with all of the above

(& the Victoria Secret new red & black holiday set)

Having a blast with the kids all day. We ate at this mansion restaurant that overlooked the hills & all the fall changing leaves - soo pretty.

Thanks for all the pics, swatches & descriptions!!!!

Shadowylady - I bought the YSL nude 1 that you said was so pretty - I LOVE it on!

Oh, my daughter in law wants the Chanel Blue Boy np - so she's taking mine ;)
yey, I figured u'd love it. It's the easiest nude pick shade for me to wear, goes with everything too :D

I know for sure I'll pass that highlighter now. In Sabrina's pics I think I actually prefer Chez Chez Lame which is my go-to gold-ish highlighter. I cannot wait for the RA Laques and the RA's though

Winthrop - Why do you not like the red EdGs? I have Exces and I don't wear it a lot too, I find the red can go on patchy because it is sheer.

April - Great list! I want G-Spot too but I've never tried a multiple before so I'm unsure how it will perform on me.

Michelle - Congrats on ordering the lippies. I'm anticipating the meteorites too, let me know what you think of it. Guerlain launches new collections very late here, so I probably only can see it in December.

Queenofsnark - Yeah Famous looks like RB. Let us know if they are similar, then I'll pass Famous too.

I friggin LOVE Exces! It doesn't go patchy for me but I always wear a lipliner with pigmented glosses, they wear better that way. Exces is my favourite red gloss :) I also responded to ur Multiple question in the Nars Holiday thread ;)

I hope you love all of the loot your ordered! I probably won't get my package until Friday and I'm not very patient about it. Do you wear a red lip pencil when you wear red lipsticks? I am wondering how to pull Famous off . . .

I hope I love all the stuff too :) I just ordered the BR Blush as its waay to pretty in those swatches. I think it will be perfect for that natural look Chanel is showing. Thank Winthrop for the FS code reminder that helped me a lot ;)

Sometimes I wear a liner but most times I don't simply because I am always late.

I can't get ready for anything in a hurry. Sometimes I'll wear a close to' red liner & sometimes I will use my beloved MAC Creamola liner very lightly which give my lip a more natural line. And, I think that makes wearing red lips a bit more casual looking than a matchy matchy red lip liner. Famous may be alright by itself.

Thanks - that always helps! I cleaned a lot to occupy myself. Not as much fun as going to look at the new goodies, but it distracts me a bit.

The Mansion restaurant up on the hill was amazing both in view & food. And the weather & trees were so gorgeous.

Oh, & a lil OT but I forgot this. We bought the kids these small 2" x 3" HD video cameras that they can attach to their motorcycle helmets so we can see some of their travels & whatever else...well, our son strapped it to their dog's back behind her head & then took her for a walk.
lol.gif
The video from her view was absolutely hilarious that we couldn't stop watching it or laughing. I love this light-hearted stuff.

Anyhow - I am really loving Sweet Beige too & I bet I end up with it
sigh.gif


So have you ordered anything yet or are you waiting? ;)

That is hilarious about the dog...I think it sounds like a good new reality show, life from a dog's perspective. Better than alot of what's on these days!

I still haven't ordered a thing. I must be ill!

Nothing!?

You must really be thinking this one through. Or maybe nothing really grabs you which is ok too. I think we are all getting a little bit pickier with what we buy these day.

Oh my, the doggy video is really really funny. Then he put this crazy music to it which made it even funnier. If they put it on youtube I will post a link here somewhere. And yes, I agree TV just stinks.

Do you have - or anyone - Chanel's eyebrow pencil with the comb on the other end? I am interest if anyone has it & likes it/colors

^^ Too funny RedVelvetX. I am thinking of doing the same! I just remember not loving it on Cafemakeup originally so I may still try to check out the holiday one in person first.

elegant, I tried the new eyebrow pencil and thought it was nice except that none of the colors worked for me. The lightest one came closest for me, I guess, but was noticeably too yellow.

See, thats what I was afraid of with their colors. hmmm, I would have to check that out in person I guess.

Unless I am not seeing it, I cannot find Pearl Glow...it looks so pretty.

I had fun at the Chanel counter today! They had their holiday goodies up and I did a lot of swatching with mixed feelings on some things. I love the highlight, but not the price for it. The design is gorgeous and product is nice, but Chanel brushes feel so scratchy, which takes up half that compact If the whole compact was highlighter alone I would snatch it in a second! So, on the fence over that one. Skipping out on the nail polish, blush and eye shadows, simply because they are either not my colour or they are too much like something I already have. I did pick up Famouse RA which is a gorgeous cool pinked red. Love it! And Rouge Allure Extract De Gloss in Tromphal, which is another glittery cool pinked out red. So pretty and festive looking. Then I grabbed the pressed powder in Rose, which is gorgeous and they still had an Illusion D'Ombre in Epatant which I own 2 other colours and love so thrilled to have picked this up. I plan to go back and decide on that coral lipstick. Pretty, not what I consider holiday-like, but I have very little coral in my collection so this might be perfect for the spring. And there is that highlighter which will keep me up all night, tossing and turning, wondering if I should have nabbed it, knowing I will live without it, but do I want to? And the sales lady gave me a gorgeous black vinyl Chanel makeup bag. Fun!

And I picked up two yummy scented Philosophy Bath Gels for fall. :) A fun day all around. And here I was, thinking I would end up in Sephora. Did not find anything I wanted there, so it was back to Nordies to play!
