You look absolutely beautiful mrslid. Your hair looks great straight! Thanks for sharing. Miss QQ I recently picked up Flamboyante too & agree - such a face-brightening shade! Pearl Drop looked crummy on me too.

Meg -- your makeup combo sounds beautiful -- you are making me want Peregrina now
Christa -- I am loving your hair -- I love the length and it looks great straight! Espiegle and Peregrina look fab on you. How much longer 'till Mexico??
MissQQ -- how fun to finally have all of your new goodies to play with. Let us know if you get anything else. I am now anxious for the new Rouge Cocos to come out in March or April!
I am still interested in the quad -- I am wondering if you can do a lot of daytime looks with it, or if it is mostly for dramatic looks??

^^ I haven't bough much of anything from MAC lately. I still really love the MAC stuff I have, but it has been a while since I was super excited about one of their collections. However, I will be all over Surf Baby when it comes out I might end up getting the Regard Perle quad in the near future. Of course, I still have quite a few glosses and quads, etc that are on my wishlist to keep me occupied until the Summer collection

Thanks everyone. I've been straightening it a lot lately since it's been looking so wild. It actually looks a lot better than that when it "fresh" but I haven't washed my hair yet today.
Even in person the 5 colours weren't showing. I'll have to play more.
We leave Monday to stay in a hotel near the airport then fly out Tuesday morning. Woo hoo!! I really want to bring my new spring goodies. I don't think I can resist.
The quad is ABSOLUTELY appropriate for daytime. I haven't even tried a dramatic look yet. Yesterday I did the Peachy Beige on the lid, Pink in the crease, green blended out in the outer V and ivory on the browbone. It was amazingly gorgeous and very springy, fresh and completely daytime.

That's too funny! I wonder why they're always so behind? Stuff is sold out before they even send those messages out all the time.I got the email from Chanel this morning for THIS collection & before reading what collection it was (just looking at the pics) I was like ooh those are really pretty colorsdoh! I already have those dummy.
I definitely have to try my stuff out......it's sitting there waiting for me!!!
Elegant, I did the same thing this morning.......durr.
MissQQ - I know you will find something, and yes, you're right, when one door closes, 2 more open. Hang in there!!!
I did not get Peregrina but you ladies are making me want to go check it out - I've been doing some serious retail therapy lately as we just sent my son off to South Africa for his spring semester......boo hoo. He's going to have a great time, though, and it's a terrific opportunity for him.
Christa, your pics are very pretty - you have beautiful skin.
Love Flamboyante and agree with all of your comments!!!

Hi Cheryl! Thanks! I wish your son fun and safe too, and shopping is good therapy lol. Works for me as well.
I should try Peregrina on too, but I didn't and that's good. Otherwise I will come back with it.
Thanks, winthrop, can't wait to hear what you think of the quad. Thanks too, mrslid. I think the quad is very springy.
I can't wait to try the quint but I cannot bear to ruin it. It looks so pretty in its perfect state. Just noticed the quint is made in japan. And my blush is also made in france like all of you, but it is baked and not the US formula.
Hope everyone has a good weekend! Here's my haul yesterday.
Black Pearl and my earrings.

MissQQ - ooooohhhhh so PRETTY!!!! Thanks for the pics of your great haul! I hope you love Taupe/Delicat - I smiled when I read your previous post saying you picked it up. I think you will get a lot of use out of it! Your earrings are
- wear them in good health. Stunning combo!
I think I will hold off on Peregrina for awhile....I did some serious damage yesterday in my retail therapy session now my wallet needs a therapy session.......

MissQQ -- love the pics! And I love your black pearl earrings -- so gorgeous. I once gave a pair of black pearl earrings to my SIL as a gift -- only to find out she doesn't have her ears pierced (guess I am not very observant) I was kinda hoping she'd hand 'em back over since she'll never use them LOL
Off Topic: For all of you book lovers (I think we've discussed books before on here) -- I just finished Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and then The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte. Both excellent. Would love any more recs.
My hubs told me to make a list of what Chanel stuff I want for Valentine's Day. It's gonna be a LONG list

Pretty pictures MissQQ.
I love black pearls so much. And that polish... I love it on.
Is it also Limited Edition?
I know it's been discussed, but I'm getting confused on what is and what isn't.
Like the Peregrina. I was going to look at that next month. It is not limited? (I look at the Chanel site, and what is listed as limited contradicts other sources. I'm confusing myself I think)
I am going to wear the quad today. with Jersey Rose and Nakkar. I really am loving Nakkar.
It's dreary and rainy, and I've been so focused on Peacocky. I think the quad will be a nice lift. And I'm going to use the quint in my favorite way, as pops of glowiness over the quad. That sounded kinda wonky, pops of glowiness, lol.
I find that alone the quint is weaker than when used with other colors. (to me anyway). I still really love the quint though.

Hi everyone! I'm loving all the reviews you're all posting! Hopefully this collection will be out tomorrow, and i can finally get my goodies! I've changed my list, I'm going to do something so out of character for me and pick up Flamboyant! Miss QQ, i think you've helped me to make up my mind on the peach polish as well! I need a nice light shade to throw on. Other than those two, I'm still sticking with Jersey Rose, Espiegle JC and the quad.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far.
