I've changed my mind now b/c right after I posted that, I grabbed Dark Deed by Mac and fell back in love with it. I think they're really, really close. I even wore it out today this morning and felt so foxxxy.

Now I have Hendix's Foxey Lady in my head.

QoS - I was wondering how close Inimitable is to Flamboyante. Thanks for answering that. I experienced Coco Noir too, and my first impression is that it smells distinctly Chanel. At first it smells crisp and clean, but if you smell it again after maybe 15 or 30 mins, it smells less bright but warmer instead. I agree that it smells less sultry than Coco and less sharp than Coco mademoiselle. I like Coco but not on me. Instead, I bought a bottle of Coco Mademoiselle a few years ago as I liked it very much, but got tired of it in less than a year's time. Luckily I bought the 50ml bottle only so it is finishing soon, and I will get something else, maybe coco noir, or Jimmy Choo or something from Dior. The Chanel perfume specialist who presented Coco Noir to a group of us at a private event said if we wear Coco Mademoiselle for day, then we would like Coco Noir for night. If we wear Coco for night, then Coco Noir for day. So do you war Coco for night? I received a 5ml miniature Coco Noir at the event, and I agree that the bottle is beautiful.
LOL, I'm the type of person to wear Coco during the day. I love my deep, dark scents. I was hoping Coco Noir would be REALLY dark (as in have deep leather notes) but ah well. I'll stick with Cuir de Russie. :3 I've heard the Les Exclusifs were for the more artistic blends so I'll stick with those.

Back on topic, from what I've seen online on other people Inimitable doesn't seem to pull coral but I have very strong warm/yellow tones.

I think you'll love SC blush.

The only other lip liners I have are MAC. Subculture is perfect! I would try that one. Its a pink neutral. My other nude fave is Mac's Cremola
I will check out Subculture, thanks!
My SC arrived today, but haven't tried it yet. Hidden Treasure should be here tomorrow too.

Also purchased the new eye brush, but I'm not very happy with it. I don't know what to do with it to be honest, it's huge. Well, compared to any other eye brush I ever tried.

The new RA finally popped up online today. No Gracile, and no Secrete either! I will get Evanescente, but not yet, I need to figure out what I want from the current and upcoming MAC collections first.
I still feel like I would like Gracile better than E, but oh well. I loved the pics of the models wearing E we saw months ago, so I think it will be beautiful. I stll would love to see comparison swatches of E and Gracile though. Maybe someone will have both.

It looks so pretty on Liz! I love the color - it is odd that it is so close to Secrete, though.......

I believe i read somewhere that Gracile won't be available in Belgium & the Netherlands. I must say that i indeed haven't seen that color yet in the store. I hope it's not the same case for Germany

Okie dokie, here are my comparison swatches of the reds I have to Inimitable.


Inimitable - Excessive - Flamboyante - Inimitable - Famous - Pirate - Inimitable



Inimitable is more red compared to Famous, but they both have that beautiful pearlescent sheen. Famous looks more fuchsia. I wonder how it compares to Palpitante. Flamboyante is definitely coral. Inimitable looks close to Pirate in my picture, but it isn't. Pirate is darker while Inimitable is a bright pearly red.

I so don't like you at all right now! Seriously have been trying to avoid all things Chanel but this is just, crap.

Lol, sorry! I gave up trying to resist. And that pic is with overcast, so it's not even capturing the beautiful sheen of Inimitable and Famous. I also need to try on my Queen Lip Tar, but I don't want to wipe off Inimitable. It's too pretty!

Inimitable is gorgeous. When I swatched that the first time, I fell in love but I know I have a really, really similar MUFE shade in their Rouge Artist Intense lipsticks. I had to show some restraint.

ok so I asked this before but not sure if anyone knew the answer....is the new formula Rouge Noir significantly different from the RC version? I'm a vampy lip addict and so I own and love the Rouge Noir RC. I don't want to invest in another vampy shade if it will be different.

On the new Coco Noir perfume I agree as well. I have a sampler my sister got me and I was pretty disappointed. I like my perfumes dark and musky and this doesn't do it for me. I'll stick to my beloved Chanel Coco (I don't even like Mademoiselle that much).

Tomorrow is the day I go shopping for the new RA's with my mom...I will be bringing baby too. The ladies at my Chanel counter know me very well and we haven't seen each other since I was 8 months...I'll intorduce them to Sofia :)
