Gail -- I will have to get my hands on one of those Velvet blister packs

Did you like the rosewood colored velvet also also?

Elgant -- that gold color is gorgeous! Love the tiny shimmers. And I just died looking at your Kate Spade bag and shoes

Winthrop44 · Oct 20, 2011

La Raffinee...yes, I do like it but it is along the lines of MAC Mehr (bis posted some nice pics awhile ago) and right now I'm thinking I might like to try something a little different.

Lovely pink bag and shoes! *Drools* Are the blush and lipsticks available in Singapore? I want the lipsticks, they are in RA, my favourite formula! Blazing Gold is pretty - soft yet pigmented, though I'm leaning more towards buying Beige Lame.
winthrop - Let us know how you feel about Noir-Ivoire when you get it.

Yes, I believe those ls are available in Singapore - thats where mine are coming from. So is the blush, but I believe they bought it from Harrods. My Beige Lame is coming today - finally.

Kate Spade is just charming in all she creates.

Michele - I thought you would swoon over the pink

winthrop - glad you like the duo!

Elegant--Love all the pink and especially those shoes. The heels are so adorable. Have you tried Footpetals Strappy Strips for the back straps that slip? These are great for that. I love Footpetal products. You can find these in stores or order online. They usually have a coupon you can get by googling for one.

Hi ladies!!!

Sorry for being away for so long - I have lots to catch up on here!!

Elegant, what BEAUTIFUL things!!!! Oh my! I was just looking at that blush on the Harrod's site yesterday, thinking the shipping would be insane.....I too wonder if it will come here?

I managed to get Turbulent from Izzy's Cosmetics - it's all I hoped it would be, and worth the wait!!

I also picked up the Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel - I couldn't resist.

Haven't tried the velvets yet - but am tempted after reading everyone's posts!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Some more Blazing Gold pics. My camera had a hard time shooting this one.

And, some more Kate Spade eye candy. I love the green & blue dot KS bag. Its a fun handbag.

Hi Shypo!!!! Glad you're back here

Miss QQ · Oct 20, 2011

Hi, Cheryl! Good to see you here again. Congrats on getting the highlighter and Turbulent!

elegant - I will be over the moon if I see the harrods collection at my local harrods this weekend. The blue bag is so cute! You are enabling again, blazing gold looks so soft and gorgeous in these pics. What do you pair it with?

Well, I would RUN to Harrods to see if its there.

I know, that blue/green bag is adorable.

I really like BG shadow. Its weird because it looks really yellow gold in the pan, but actually its soft on. I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet. I did try it under my bottom liner into the inner eye corner & its lovely. I'll probably pat it over my shadow on my lid right above my eye.

Shypo · Oct 20, 2011

I'm really hoping the Harrod's collection ends up here somehow (remember Rose Envolee and Rose Turbillon?) - I can't afford to have it shipped from Harrod's - the total including shipping was nearly $100!!!

I don't want it THAT badly, but if it turns up somewhere where it's 'affordable', I'll go for it.

I just love those bags!!

Gail, you have me considering the duo - the only one I found I liked was Taupe/Delicate, but maybe I'll give this one a go -

Must check Velvets out this weekend......

Winthrop44 · Oct 20, 2011

Great to see you here Cheryl!!

And congrats on the Turbulent. I got one via swapping not too long ago and love it too!

Let us know if you see the Velvets out. Chanel.com says they won't have them up until 10/31.

Yep, that's what I do with the gold in Topkapi - right over the pupil - & I really like the effect.

Bonitinha · Oct 20, 2011

Cheryl~ welcome back!! Let's all hope that the Harrods collection will be released everywhere!!

Elegant -- you are killing me with those gorgeous bags

Makes me want to go shopping!!

MissQQ -- let us know if you get that harrods exclusive. That would be so exciting. I need to find a way to get Belgravia (I even checked Ebay, but it wasn't there!!)

Gail -- I didn't get Mehr -- so maybe I will have to get La Raffinee. I get so mixed up with all of the names and spellings. I'm interested in the La Fascinante velvet that you mentioned, too. I need to compile a list!!

Winthrop44 · Oct 20, 2011

Thank goodness there are only 8 of the darn things or we'd really lose our minds over the names!

mac_aiken · Oct 20, 2011

Cheryl, it is good to see you back.

Ladies I need some help. I got Enviree l/s and it is gorgeous in the tube but it just doesn't show on my lips. Suggestions on how to wear it? I really don't want to take it back.

Maybe pair it with a slightly darker pinky/mauve liner?

(Psst...Fabulous is IMO a darker/browner Enivree with more gold, and if that's too dark Dior's holiday collection lippy Versailles is a slightly lighter/pinker Fabulous.)

I do a heavy coat. Or, use a pinky peach lipliner first, or lip erase.

elegant-one · Oct 20, 2011

Michelle - I thought maybe that's where you were

Winthrop - LOL on the names. I can't remember or spell them without a chart or something. Do you still like Clair eyeliner? After drooling over the spring pics I think I want it. I just don't want to look like an alien

Oh, & I have asked my Singapore collection about getting Belgravia

Winthrop44 · Oct 20, 2011

I have to confess I haven't bothered with it much since playing with it for about a week or so after I got it but that's just because I'm lazy. It is *much* more natural looking than the MAC chromographic (or was it chromatographic?) pencil. Now I can't even keep the MAC names straight I guess! lol Anyway, you get the idea. You won't look like an alien imo.

See, that's what I really wanted to know lol a comparison of the MAC one (yeah I'm not spelling it) which I have & don't wear. Well, I do use it around my lips

.No alien effect - thats good.

It looks SO unbelievably lovely on the models in those spring pics

ps - I get it..I can be lazy too
