Chanel Spring 2012 collection

[Miss QQ]

^^ I know, I am so glad they are making the exclusives available on the Chanel site. I think this is the most excited I've been about an order in a while

Wow! Haven't we been waiting forever to get the Harrods pink RAs and blush! What are you ordering? I can hope the Harrods will be coming to my country too.

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ You did good Elegant!!
I got the Horizons blush, Charme l/s , and Bagatelle glossimer from the Spring collection. But of course, I had to get the Brompton road blush and Belgravia l/s from the Harrod's collection. So I am done buying makeup for a while!

I hope you get the Harrods collection Miss QQ! I got the Brompton Rd blush and Belgravia l/s from that collection. If I hadn't ordered stuff from the Spring collection at the same time -- I might have gotten all 3 lippies from the Harrods collex. But I have to have some self control

I'm wondering if Charm ls will show up on my pigmented lips??? And, I really like the soft pink eyeshadow. It would looks so pretty in the crease over browns & even that darker shade in the quad.

I will probably get the other 2 np &......I think I was kidding myself when I only order 3 things

the first time.

You got the Brompton blush!? Awesome, you will love it.

Elegant -- I was so excited when I heard that Chanel.com had the Harrods collection up with the Spring collection today. Woot! This delivery is going to be my fave to date

I will let you know about Charme when I get it -- but it always takes forever for Chanel to ship where I live!! You will probably see it in person before I get my package LOL

Let us know if you get the pink e/s and the other n/p!

 

[Winthrop44]

From the Harrods collection I already had Belgravia & ordered the other 2 l/s (I never got Super way back when and the one is a dupe). I also ordered the Spring blush. I wish we could see some reviews on the Spring stuff from Amy & Sabrina...hopefully soon from Sabrina anyway!

^I agree - I need more swatches. I loved the swatches of Flirt too!

Michelle - are you allowed to have your new goodies or are they getting wrapped for Christmas?

 

[Bonitinha]

Elegant -- I think I should just hand the box over to my husband so he can give it to me for Christmas! LOL If I can stay out of it, it would be a Christmas miracle!

Gail -- I am looking forward to more swatches, too. I get so impatient. I just took the plunge and ordered away this morning after your PM

Have you ever seen that skit on SNL where the girl gets so excited about things that she rolls around on the floor like a mad woman?? yeah, that is me and this Harrods collection . . .

 

[Winthrop44]

Well elegant spotted it last night so we can thank her for getting us

 

[elegant-one]

I was trying to order all night as soon as they listed it in the evening. Then, I got up at 3:30am & it was listed but you couldn't process through the cart to order - you know, the usual Chanel bait ordering thing they do.

Michelle - Yeah, there is NO way those pretty goodies would stay in the box. Just tell him you'll take the pretties now, & he can put a lump of coal in the box for christmas

I would love to see the look on your face when you open the Brompton Blush!

It is so frustrating when the orders don't go through -- maddening

So glad they got it all worked out.

LOL yes -- I will have to break those babies out and just have my husband wrap the box -- maybe with a little note that says "remember, you already ordered and opened up all of your gifts" haha I saw the cost of the Brompton blush and hesitated for half of a millisecond -- and then hit "add to cart". Cannot wait

 

[QueenOfSnark]

Well shoot, I'm glad Chanel is listening to their consumers! First more foundation shades, now their international exclusives being available on their site. I'm glad I got into this brand, though my wallet surely isn't, LOL. Time to order Hyde Park! I'd like Belgravia too but I need to see more swatches before I make the plunge. I'm going to wait on the Spring stuff as those I know I need to/can see in person before I decide.

EDIT: Thanks Elegant!

 

[Winthrop44]

Yes, it is GREAT of them to listen!! Now I have hope we will eventually see that JC blush from the 2012 Le Blanc Collection too, either on chanel.com or with Nordies Anniversary collection like they did this year with Rose tourbillon.

 

[QueenOfSnark]

^Winthrop, I'm hoping so too, though my impatience dictates I'll probably try to get the JC beforehand.

Would anyone that has both Enivree and Belgravia mind swatching them side-by-side? I ended up swapping Enivree away since I just couldn't get it to work for me comfortably (it was a tad too light) and Belgravia seems to be a shade or two darker. Been needing a rosey-pink shade in my stash, and Belgravia seems to be a sparkly Raffinee.

 

[Winthrop44]

On me Belgravia is close to Joyeuse but with some visible yet subtle gold sparkles. Hope that helps!

Charme looks really pretty on Best Things in Beauty:

Boo, Joyeuse looked terribad on me so Belgravia's a pass. I like the RC swatches, but again I'll just wait until RA equivalents are released or see if I can find RA equivalents. I'm spoiled. :/ My MAC lippies feel like crayons compared to my RAs and the RCs for some reason feel the same.

 

[elegant-one]

I want/need Charme

Oh,I don't know if anyone else noticed, but when I was ordering first thing this morning every time I put Paradis in my cart it showed up as like #29 Venise so I ended up placing my order without it & then about 45 minutes later, it showed up in the cart with the right name & number

Am I the only one that got Paradis ls? It looked so lovely in the swatches link which I cannot find - the link that had the swatch of Flirt.

Queen of Snark - LOL at the 'they feel like Crayons' comment

Best Things in Beauty has posted a number of reviews of the Spring collection. http://bestthingsinbeauty.blogspot.com/

The quad, Destinee and Paradis are all on my list. April and June nail polishes as well look pretty... Supposedly, we'll get this collection in Canada in February, which is still the middle of winter as far as I'm concerned.
