Chanel Spring 2011

[Shypo]

^^ That sounds like a great conversation! Thanks for taking up our cause with her - it is totally unacceptable to have such awful CS - it make me want to vomitte.........as les french would say. Ha ha

.

Not that they'll do anything, but we can dream.

I'm going to have to check out a couple of the pencils you mentioned HG - if something works I don't so much pay attention to the price tag (um, sometimes, yes).

I couldn't resist the caste system comment - it's kinda how I treat my makeup. Sometimes things CAN change caste, depending on my mood .

 

[elegant-one]

Yeah, I doubt it does much good, but I tried.

Winthrop & HG - describe Armani 518 please!

Today I used LOVE gloss over a light application of Spitfire & it was really really pretty. So its all good now.

Elegant -- way to go -- hopefully your convo will inspire some customer service changes at Chanel! I love VS makeup, too. I only have glosses, but the colors are gorgeous -- and $10 isn't too bad!

HG -- I will have to swing by the W&W isle next time I am at Target! I have heard that Prestige makes awesome liners. I'll have to check those out, too.

Cheryl -- yes, the caste system of makeup -- love it! I have kicked way to many products to the curb because they don't look as pretty! too funny

518 is a sheer, light, blue-pink with a bit of shimmer. It's not blue enough to look bad on warmish me or too sheer to not show up on my pigmented lips, and the shimmer is not obnoxious. It's very pretty. But how different it will turn out to be from Boy I don't know. If you have access to an Armani counter, maybe at this point you might as well wait to compare? The Rouge d'Armanis are very, very nice and I highly recommend you try one at some point.

I don't understand the Chanel mgr saying the top 22 Nordies are the ones having the Boy preview because mine is on the list Amy posted and they did confirm to me that they're getting it (not that it matters because I'm still ordering online rather than making the trek up there)....they are surely not a top 22 store.

It is being previewed at Neimans and I believe Saks as well...Karla swatched at her Neimans. Wouldn't surprise me if the person you spoke with was given the wrong info by Chanel.

Elegant -- here is a swatch of Arm*** 518: http://karlasugar.net/2011/01/armani-spring-2011-transluminence/armani-spring-2011-eyes-and-lips/

And the spring blush looks amazing, too. And as long as we're at it, I want this lippie: http://www.temptalia.com/clarins-lilac-pink-rouge-prodige-lipstick-review-photos#more-28370


I am loving all of these glossy lipsticks -- I need those Rouge Coco Shines!

Yeah, I figured she probably didn't know the whole deal, but she read it off of a paper that Nordies sent her. I'm sure it will be different than what we're told. I am still going to get mine at the .com - well, thats if it works that day

Well the 518 sounds so pretty - I trust your description! Nope, none of the counters I contacted so far carry armani beauty. I'm going to call another Saks today to see. I'm sure that if you love it, I will too.

Ahhh, so nice to stay in my jammie bottoms today

I want that lippie too!!!!!

I've also picked up a couple of Shiseido's new 'gloss lipsticks' - they're quite nice! Lots of pigment, and a good feeling. This seems to be the new trend......HG has been cluing us in.......

Isn't it funny yet sad how we all suspect it won't? And I fully expect to get the notification e-mail looooong (as in days) after we've all ordered because one of us spots it on the site.

I just looked at that - its Beautiful! Love that color...uh oh

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Yep, sign me up for that color with the rest of y'all!

 

[User38]

oh.. I did get some Clarins stuff too.. but passed on the lg cause I thought it was too dupeable.. nice but not great.. but I am loving their ES... they are "long wear" powder.. so I am checking out the tech.

Elegant.. the 518 is beautiful.. light raspberry pink with a very sublte shimmer.. it makes my lips look flocky

I don't want to get caught up in a BOY rush/madness online or anywhere -- I am getting old and crotchety too.. lol

the waterproof eyepencils hold up really well.. I did test them last year and loved them.. I can finnagle a couple in Italy, but I much prefer paying not asking for favors

oh man I hate techissuessssssssssssss.. that's the wrong smiley.. lol

Winthrop -

I am so excited - I just ordered Clarins Lilac Pink from Nordies - she was so nice & waved the shipping

We are really such a bad (good) influence on each other

See Michelle - its all your fault

 

[User38]

shuuush... wrong C thread

 

[User38]

the thumb which had been working.. dropped dead or got amputated..

Elegant.. you should really swatch some of those Arm ls sticks.. for flocky lips..

C! -- the trend is your frind ! and the trend for spring/summer is definitely a subtle gloss/glaze with powerful pigmentation.. and they are all coming in ls form

 

[User38]

for sheer colour.. try the EL Color pops.. they are luscious too...

back to Chanel.. I also got the Insolente ls.. to match my np.. it is gorgeousness personified !

Elegant -- I knew when I saw it that swatch that we'd all be getting it! I threw it in my Nordies online bag! I might as well get the Armani lippie while I'm at it.

Oh my HG -- with all of your recs I am doomed -- but I'll be lookin' pretty!

Winthrop and Cheryl -- are you getting the Clarins Lilac Pink, too??

 

[elegant-one]

What a VERY CLASSY beginning to the super bowl!!! best ever. Christina Ag. (sp?) looked so darn elegant & classy I loved her makeup - oh & her shoes!

 

[Bonitinha]

And I think we all need this blush to go with the Lilac Pink lippie (the shade in Lovely Rose):

Sorry, keep getting OT -- I'm getting distracted by all of these other brands . . .

 

[User38]

Bonitinha.. you are beautiful already.. with all the diff products, you will be more gorgeous! and the hubby will be very happy

I saw the Cl blush.. lol.. it is lovely but I bought the GArm blush.. this feels like we are undercover or something..

Elegant.. yea, finally she looks pulled together..and classy.. she has been known to look frazzled around the edges.
