As am I, Winthrop! As much as I like the Illusions d'Ombres (I need to pick up Ebloui and Emerveille) I'm still a little leery of the sparkle factor. The Chanel MUA said some of the new ones will be even more sparkly, which makes me wonder how disco-ball shiny they'll be.What a great haul QueenOfSnark.I love the white bag too! That's exciting news about the Illusions d'Ombres. Can't wait to see the colors. I'm happy to hear some won't be so sparkly too.
My friend just started buying Chanel and she got the same exact goodies. I am jealous because even though I am friends with a Chanel lady at Bloomingdales, I never got a bag out of the deal! Lucky, ladies. My friend even got a foundation brush. Now you know I'm mad!Got my makeup done today and picked up my holiday stuff. Liked the look the MUA did for me, but unfortunately not using a sunscreen/primer = my makeup was pretty much gone in an hour and I was shine city.It was nice when freshly done though. On my eyes she used Emerveille Illusion d'Ombre as a base, then used the Spices quad on top. In Love JC was used on my cheeks, and my lips was Cognac lip pencil + Plumetis RC + Paillettes glossimer. Wasn't too much of a fan of the lip look, I found it a bit too light in the sun and felt the colors kind of washed me out. LOL'd a little at the MUA insisting my Perfection Lumiere color was darker until she put it my color on me and was like "oh, you're right". >_> All was forgiven though when she let slip that in March there will be more Illusions d'Ombres: some matte, some shimmery! Here's everything that came home with me today. Sorry for the crappy phone pic, I can't find the cord to my camera. Along with Enivree, Beige Lame, and Sparkle D'Or I got samples of Inimitable Intense Mascara, No.19 Poudre, Ultra Correction Lift skincare and Mousse Confort cleanser samples, a mini Spark glossimer, and a nice white makeup bag.
I'd be mad too! Getting a free brush is crazy nice.My friend just started buying Chanel and she got the same exact goodies.
