Chanel.com doesn't ship to Canada so I have to order from Neiman Marcus so I don't get any samples

I would LOVE samples...although that would probably just start more lemmings LOL

Almus ~
I have looked up the lippie swatches of all of the lipsticks I want and am now more undecided than ever! I want them all!

I am trying to decide between Mythic (more of a true nude) and Insouciante. But then I looked at Ingognito and am loving that too.
For pinks, I am still looking at Rose Comete and Confidentielle. Help! LOL

 

[Almus]

Well, hum, I took the pic of Insouciante on my lips, no lipliner and hummm, here it is the result:

Quality is not awesome but I guess you can see that it is not as pale pink as it is in the model. I guess I should have taken a pic of my lips for reference, but sometimes my brain just doesn't operate so fast ...

Me neither, but I should try Beige instead (lemming, lemming) if it gives you a paler pinky look.

I am not 100% sure but I'd say Mythic won't show up at all in my lips, or I am just trying to fool myself for not going again to the counter in the next few days to get it and then wait for my mom to kill me for buying so many lipsticks in such a short time

I love the looks of Insouciante! Need. Want.

How does Incognito show up on you? Is it a medium pink or lighter? Sorry about so many questions -- I can only order Chanel online, so I try to do lots of investigating first

 

[Almus]

Incognito is definetively more medium pink-mauvish / light raspberry (oh gosh, I am terrible giving colour definitions ... am I becoming a man?

).

Maybe it is better to try a second picture tomorrow for Incognito - bare lips, so the images will speak by themselves

You are so funny -- LOL at the becoming a man comment

My husband couldn't describe a color to save his life -- everything is just "pink" (they don't get the whole medium rosy pink with slight golden undertones thing)!

I know, seriously, they can be so funny about it! My husband is utterly baffled by my makeup addiction -- but he knows if I'm happy, then he's happy

Are there any soft pinks RC other than Magnolia? How about the RAs? Maybe Admirable?

I have a comparison page on my computer right now trying to find all of the soft pink Chanel lippies with swatches.
I've narrowed it down to Naive: pinkish plum(mauve?) nude
Insouciante RA: pink beige nude
Incognito RA: medium pink with gold shimmer
Rose Comete RC: soft lilac pink
Rose Dentelle RC -- soft pink (looks like a warmer pink)
Confidentielle RA-- looks like a gorgeous shade of pink -- just looks a bit frosty
And, I think I want Magnolia RC, too

I missed out on Darling -- which looked like a great pale neutral pink. I believe Elegant has Adorable and really likes that one.

Thanks to Almus for the swatches of Insouciante -- can't wait to see Incognito, too

Here they are. One more time they are done using the camera on my imac, so sorry for the light and weird quality, I hope I can get a photograph cam anytime soon (I always postpone looking for it

)

Bare lips:

Incognito RA:

Since the pics are not big enough I have been looking carefully for the microshimmer but I have to say it is barely noticeable in my lips, although you can see it in the tube

Anyway, the lips glow beautifully and brightly, I guess due to the golden microshimmer.

I hope those swatches actually help (facing the XXI century with an iphone, an ipod and many pcs but no photo camera at all. That's me!)

Thanks Almus! I love seeing swatches -- makes it much easier to decided what I want to get before ordering online. That color is gorg, too -- now how am I supposed to decide??

Yes indeed! Hubba hubba!

 

[Bonitinha]

Thanks ladies -- I think I have ADD and have to change up my pics

Elegant and Mrslid -- I bought Magnolia thanks to your beautimous swatches!

And I got Insouciante because of Almus's lovely swatch! Now I can obsess about them until the delivery guy gets here!!

I am so happy that those swatches were of some help for you. I await your first impressions about the lipsticks you've ordered, you'll love them for sure!

Michelle, I have Naive arriving tomorrow with the rest of my holiday order. I can swatch it for you if you'd like.

I really like ^that color! I haven't bought it because of all the LE items. I swatch it almost every time I go to the counter

I'd love to see a swatch!! I've been wanting it forever, of course, today it is on backorder when I ordered it. Can't wait to hear about your haul!

I was just going to order Magnolia, but somehow I lost control and ended up ordering 3 l/s and a glossimer. Ooops!

Thank you!

You just jolted my memory. I remember Darling and Naive not showing up on me but I'm going to the counter and swatch all the soft pinks l/s again.

Incognito sounds interesting, I'm going to check it out.

elegant, can you compare Adorable with Magnolia? Is Magnolia much darker and warmer? I remember I like adorable a lot.
