Chanel Spring 2012 collection

[Ikram]

Shypo- how does Rose de Mai compare to Burberry pale pink?

 

[Ikram]

For those who ordered the polishes

how do you like the pink polish? and how similar it is to Morning Rose? Morning Rose is my most fave polish ever, but these 2 look so similar except this one doesnt have the shimmer.

Is it worthy getting both?

 

[Ikram]

I rodered June polish and the blush. I know i will break donw and get the blush anyway so I just did it.

On my list are also quad, Grenat and May

The complimantery mascara sample: is this actually mini macsara which can last for couple of weeks?
Anybody knows what is the line repair sample and how big it is?

Yes on the mascara. Its in a cute tube that you should get a few applications out of. I really really like it. Line Repair is a fairly good size sample tube. Its for lines, wrinkle, skin smoothing.

I think the mascaras are likely to be new because my counters have been out of the mascara samples for months, I think since we got the fall collection. I hope the new samples are coming soon so I can get one when I buy the spring collection. Ikram - I think May is lighter than Morning Rose and it doesn't have shimmers. Michelle - lol thanks for remembering. I haven't drink the eggnog. I checked the packaging and it doesn't have any spices added yet, so I wonder if I should buy some cinnamon or nutmeg powder first. Hope you get to see the quads when you are on vacation next. Are you planning for one soon? Winthrop - yes I also think Eclosion resembles Kaska Beige, didn't work on both of us. It made me look sick and tired and someone actually asked me if I was sick the day I wore it. But it looks so pretty in some pics. I will wait and see it in person before deciding.

Honestly Miss QQ I haven't used Spices in awhile and don't even remember what I did with it when I did! But I agree with what you're saying about it being warmer vs Eclosion...from the pics of Eclosion anyway. I don't think the peach in Eclosion will work very well on me and I'm wondering if the dark shade may make me look tired like the dark shade in Kaska Beige.

I can't even remember if I own Spices

Here are 2 eggnog recipes to give you an idea of what is usually used:

^^ Thanks! Looks like I should definitely get some cinnamon and nutmeg powder to go with it. elegant - Thanks for the swatch! Paradis is much brighter! Vanessa Paradis is Johhny Depp's wife. She was the model for RC and RCS.

I'm saying lots of prayers right now that nothing will run out because I am in love with parts of both the Spring Collection and the Knightsbridge Collection! All those lovely pinks, rosy reds and that coral! O lala! I can place my order tomorrow at 6am. lol That is when Mr. Paycheck hits the CC and I can go nuts! I had no idea a Spring collection would come out before the New Year so was not prepared for this at all! But, oh, those pinks! They are meeeeee!

elegant

thank you. I will get line repair with my next order then. I am glad it is not just a one time packet.

I got sample tube of Sublimage eye cream from Bergdorf and it is quite big size for eyecream, I am using it for a month now and considering it is $200 full size product the sample is amazing value.

You are so welcome!

I've been so

lately, I'm lucky if I remember my own name

Now that you mentioned it, I do remember that was JD's wife. I was thinking the name of the lipstick was like - Paradise? yes, no???

 

[lilacgold]

so I ordered paradis too!!!

 

[katred]

Elegant--did you get the Inimitable Intense mascara sample too? It used to be my fave mascara, but it started clumping/flaking on me after just ONE month. Did some poking around online and apparently it's a known issue with Chanel, and they're working to fix the formula. Bah.

Katred--Eclosion would be GORGEOUS on you! If you don't have a Chanel quad at all yet I would say go for it. My review was based more on the terrible swatching on darker skin, but on lighter tones it's SO pretty. Tiger Lily is a MUST though for anyone.

Oh my... It is really tempting. And I don't think I have anything like Tiger Lily either. So that means the quad, TL, Paradis and Destinee... This is going to be a pricey haul!

The lipstick in the ads Vanessa did for the RCs was Mademoiselle.

Elegant -- I got a sample of the new mascara with my Nordies order and am loving it. It really volumizes my lashes and give a good curl. The mini glossimer sample is the cutest thing ever! I wish Chanel.com offered more mini glossimers and lipsticks.

MissQQ -- I'm not sure what our vacation spot will be next year. But, it will revolve around some good shopping, too! There is a Nordstrom where my I have lots of family, but it is like 5 hours away (bummer).
Let us know how you like your holiday eggnog. My kids won't drink it -- but they love hot chocolate and caramel apple cider. I am working out like a madwoman to combat this holiday sugar high. Somebody help me. lol

Debi and Katred -- hope you love your hauls. Seriously, I have spent more this month on Chanel than I care to admit!


Since my delivery won't get here till Monday (cries), I am going to bust out my Spark glossimer for the office party we have Friday night. I will be wearing black head to toe -- so I think a shimmery berry red gloss will be pretty

Here is April np. Flirt shine - its the sweetest tangerine peach with a pink tint & lovely shimmer. Its so pretty on! Bagatelle - a lovely medium true girly girl Pink which actually shows up on my lips.






Flirt Shine - left, Bagatelle gloss - right

forgot my disclaimer: Don't steal my pics!

I agree with that about the mascara! It thickened my lashes without turning them into tarantula legs

My lashes kept the shape, volume & color ALL day. Was the glossimer sample Spark? I agree, better samples that include gloss & lipsticks. Oh, & Charms

I laughed so hard...I did a search for JD's wife & an article from one of the big mag. said that they both have terrible hygiene because they don't shower very often.

Chanel should give her some perfume in that case.

Hey peeps - Flirt is ADORABLE on!!!

 

[Ingenue]

Ack! I haven't been on here in FOREVER and now I see Flirt.. MUST.HAVE!

Going to get now ----->
