Chanel lipsticks - Rouge Coco, Rouge Allure, etc.

Almus!!

Hunting for an apartment can be so tiring.....and finding a cute one will probably take a bit longer, but I wish you the best in your search!!!

Astrid, I love the Shiseido lippies - you should check them out - they don't have a boatload of colors, which is nice, but the ones they do have are beautiful. Iron Maiden is a fave with Elegant, HG and me -

 

[Bonitinha]

Almus - hope you find your perfect apartment soon! I remember when we were first starting out -- so hard to find something cute and affordable. I'm sure you'll find the right one!

Astrid -- I keep meaning to try out the Shiseido lippies in Sephora -- but haven't made it there yet. But there are still lots of Chanel ones I want, not to mention Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, and now the new Guerlain ones . . . my list is too long!!

I was asleep and missed HG's pics too.

I tried the vanessa promo pic lips - natural l/l and boy. On me it's not as rosy but rather MLBB. It is just slightly darker than my lips, and I like it but I'm not rushing to buy it. There are other Shines I must own first. I like Boy more than Stunning RC. You ladies are making me want Aventure now.. My list keeps getting longer. Oh but the l/l and boy disappeared after a meal.

Go get Aventure It's so pretty!

I'm totally addicted to Chanel lipsticks now.

I just received my Antigone shine - its gorgeous on!!!!!!! A beautiful more red strawberry color on. It has really good color payoff - I totally love it. Chic looking

Agghh, my laptop got hot last night & somehow it caused my wireless to go. Bummer

 

[Miss QQ]

Yup I love Antigone! Enjoy! I wish I have it right now lol. Good thing you managed to get your wireless working again!

Rebelle, however, is still calling my name. The manager at one of my Chanel counters is determined that I need it...




Katred, could you describe what Misia looked like on your hand? How does it compare to Liberte?

I would also like to know that answer to that. I think I want one or the other as well.

I am really loving the feel of these on.

Didn't you order Antigone too?

 

[elegant-one]

Was this already posted? BEAUTIFUL

^^ Yup I saw it and went to swatch Miami Peach. Love it! Ooh now you are using it wired. The card must be pricey? My macbook's battery was damaged and I bought a new one. Could have bought 5 RCS with the money!

 

[elegant-one]

Not too bad - thank goodness - $20 free shipping so dh & I are both happy.

I get the "Dumb" award - I went to Neimans to look for Miami Peach & their np are not there - it has the sorry disclaimer. So I bought it on ebay for a few buck more. I could have ordered it from the LV store. Agghh so stupid of me. And, the one from ebay is prob. old. I didn't read that it was a repromote. so mad at myself

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Well I have the old MP from a swap and it's fine, so don't worry about the old part...

Yes, I did get Antigone - beautiful! I feel like I have enough pink/pinkish red/berry family colors now so I'm thinking I'll skip Monte Carlo. I'd like something peachy or coral. Misia does look really pretty on Sabrina. I did see her post but I guess I missed this:

"For Chanel Liberte v Misia: Liberte is more milky and less shimmery but more pigmented while Misia is brighter more vibrant and has a sheerer shimmery texture with more red"

So I think I will get Misia. Now I wonder how Misia compares to Sari d-Eau. Are they different enough to own both?

 

[elegant-one]

In the above swatches I think I prefer Misia or FC. I still love FC

 

[Winthrop44]

Oh sorry...the Sabrina post I was talking about is a different one than the link you posted. She also compared Liberte to Misia:

[elegant-one]

Well that makes me feel a little better about the 'old' part

I think I prefer Misia. I'm sure its less bright than Sari d

Thats right - I do remember that comparison pic, but its always nice to look at them again.

Oh, & I agree - I may skip Monte Carl too because of Antigone & I would rather get a different color as well.

[/quote] Thanks, that's what I needed to hear. I think I am really done with them, I have three now. They are nice for summer, so three should be enough. Right? :winkiss:

Are we still doubting Canotier?

That's with the Chanel Cognac Lip Pencil (my go to for all nude lippies). I'm also putting it on VERY dry lips, so that the formula and the color grabs. I've noticed that if you moisturize your lips first, the color skips. So the drier the lips, the better imo.

Gah, Fed Ex is taking FOREVER with my Antigone! Misia won't get here until tomorrow.

[/quote] Temptress! :getyou: Seriously, where is my resolve.... :winkiss: Btw, your skin is amazing

 

[Ingenue]

I specifically wanted to use it in an FOTD so folks wouldn't think my swatch was just a fluke. I seriously love it. And thanks for the skin compliment! I have to stay on it... one day of neglect and my skin reverts back to teenage acne horror.

 

[Ingenue]

MISIA IS HERE!! I thought Antigone would get here first... must have gotten the delivery times messed up. Oh, it's GORGEOUS. More peach than Sari (which is distinctly coral). I can't wait to swatch it!
