Chanel Spring 2011

[elegant-one]

yeah, I was getting that limit thing last night & today. My box flies away so theres no chance of me typing anything into it

 

[Shypo]

I have the same issue with the limit message.....but the box stays up unless I x it out......not sure if I like it - sometimes I just want to run my mouse over something and see what's behind it, not have to take an action.....oh well.

Bring on the lip shines!! I would so love to get my hands on Joyeus......

....it will look fab on you Elegant!!!

 

[Shadowy Lady]

oy this is giving me a toothache.. ha

well ladies I have to make a brief announcement... my hair which looked so lovely when I came back from Europe looked like straw after I showered this am.. yech

I went to work and left at noon to see my hairdresser on an emergency basis.. lol. and he suggested I get some colour thrown on cause the sun, wind, chlorine, salt and all assorted crap had really dried out and made my hair look like a birds nest.... he put in a golden/red vegetable thing.. which looked like saffron ground up and made into a paste and then blew it dry and trimmed the edges.. omg. I look almost pretty..

with newly trimmed and a soft golden/strawberry blonde hair.. yeah.

all my ls /lg look fabulous with this colour and my skin looks.. like old porcelain

-- but this will work for me finally found a really pretty colour and am leaving my grey behind me.... well not literally.

Happy Bday Ms. Q !!

Elegant.. that is a gorgeous gift.. congrats and enjoy!

I am off to buying some ls for my new haircolour..

 

[User38]

I see we still have the box and techisssueessssssssssss

 

[Shypo]

Oh my!!! New hair color!!!! Good for you! It sounds lovely, and what better reason to go shop for new lippies!!! I'm thinking of doing something different with mine - I've not been happy with my cut. I think I'm going to have to go back to a previous hairdresser, but her rates went up astronomically because she's "Redken trained" and I just have a hard time paying for a cut what I currently pay for cut AND color. Just one of those things, but I guess there's no better example of 'you get what you pay for'.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day and counting their blessings!

As long as its not crackled porcelain - you're good

Thank you - smooches!

Awesome on the new hair color! We should throw a party! Now theres one I haven't used yet - I have to buy ls because of my hair

Oh, I may have a surprise for you one of these nights....I asked hubby to help me & he said, "are you really gong to do that?" - I said of course, its funny

After all these years why on earth would he even act surprised at anything I do. *snickers*

Hey all, I've been here and there, and yes, we're covered in ice...and snow, too. We were let out early today - love that! Rumors are abounding that work will be cancelled tomorrow, but I don't think that will be the case, maybe a late start, if anything. Oh well, I'll take what I can get to give me more downtime!

 

[Bonitinha]

Karen -- ick with the ice and snow. Hope you get more downtime out of it, though! I am really over winter.

HG -- I think you're on to something with this whole buying l/s to go with your new haircolor. I am going to remember that when I get my hair done this weekend. The color sounds gorgeous -- wish I could see a pic!

Elegant -- after seeing your gorgeous Tiffany pics, I am going to start dropping hints for hubs to get me the matching Tiffany Beads earrings to go with the bracelet he got me a few years ago. It's been way to long since I've gotten the "famous box"!

 

[Camnagem]

HG - Welcome back with your tan self! I bet your new hair looks amazing!

MissQQ - Happy Birthday!! I hope it's the best so far...enjoy your day!

Elegant - What a special gift for a special lady! Thanks for sharing a picture with us, they're always great!

Mr. Elegant - Good job on the gift!

HI to everyone else!!!!!!! I had a ton of other things to say but I can't quote today (lol) for some reason.

It's butt-freezing cold here today ladies. Right now the temp is -5!!!! The low for tonight is supposed to be -20!!!! OMG, all of this negative number crap is so totally foreign to this California girl, I think I might need to sleep IN the fireplace, lol. I hope you're all doing great and staying warm!

Aww, thanks dear! Miss seeing/chatting with you.

Yeah baby that is freaking cold!

So, what do you think of the lip shine colors? Dumb question probably.

 

[MzzRach]

Soooooo, 44 pages in this thread, but I am being lazy, so what do y'all think of the spring collection? Any must haves? I originally picked up the 5 colour eyeshadow palette and it was too sheer and glittery for me. How's the quad? xx

Happy Birthday Miss QQ!!

Hope all of you in the blizzard/snow conditions are staying safe. I won't tell you about the weather in Northern California.

 

[Monsy]

Blush is the must have! Such a beautiful color

 

[Shypo]

Oh, MzzRach! I LOVE northern Cali - I was there a couple of weeks ago - I'm hoping to go back in the next month or so.......I have had enough of snow for a lifetime!

I personally love the quint when I use mattes to balance it out - the quad is nice, but I sorta like Murano better in general....but the blush!

I also have Flamboyante, Jersey Rose and Coquette - love them all! I skipped the glossimers this time around.

Enjoy your weather......

Meg, we don't need any hot cross buns, so stay out of the fireplace

. Cozy up with your man NEXT to that fire!! I love a good fire!

 

[MzzRach]

Thanks ladies! I think I will pick up Jersey Rose for sure - the blush looks super gorgeous, but I have so many peachy blushes already...............hmmmm. Does anyone who has Benefit's Coralista also have Espiegle? They look a bit similar to me at first glance.

 

[Bonitinha]

Oh Meg -- -5 degrees? Fa-reezing! Hope you can stay warm!!

MzzRach -- I must say I am a big fan of Espiegle blush! It is really beautiful. I also got Jersey Rose and it is beautiful, too.

Here is Karla's swatch of Coralista:

And Espiegle:
http://karlasugar.net/2010/12/chanel-spring-2011/chanel-spring-2011-cheeks-and-nails/

I think Coralista is more of a pinky peach. Espiegle has a touch of pink -- but definitely shows up peach on me -- with a gorgeous subtle shimmer.

 

[Winthrop44]

MzzRach, count me in as another vote for Espiegle. You must at least try it on!

 

[MzzRach]

^^ Thank you Bonitinha!! I should've thought to check Karla's site. Will have to consider Espiegle........but it's hard to justify since I have so many peachy blushes already, not just Coralista. LOL

I am definitely getting Jersey Rose. And maybe a new Glossimer?

ETA - will do Winthrop! ;-)
