Chanel Spring 2014

[elegant-one]

I love it! I just tried it on for part of the day, so I can't swear to the lasting power, but dang, that little pot has some power. I need so little that I'm probably going to be buried with it still half finished.

So true. I barely pat my finger onto it. That shade has to be amazing on your skin.

I tried Intonation with a stippling brush just now, and I'm in love. This is a much better method for me when it comes to applying creme blushes. I'm very tempted to go back for Charmade since I know I can use the brush to control the level of intensity

Thats great to hear because its got to look lovely on you

I went to swatch the collection today, but unfortunately I'm not able to purchase anything until payday next week. The parfumery where I was able to swatch the collection is able to hold a couple things for me until monday luckily. They are holding two Sonic Pink lipliners. La Diva RAV and Diapason IDO. I did however want a lot more, so I went looking for another place that could hold them for me. In a town close to my parents they have a nice perfumery too and I looked up their phone number. I noticed on their site that someone from Chanel would visit them and give makeup advise. You could call to reserves, so I figured that would be perfect and they would probably hold some items for me. So I called and made an appointment for next friday and they will indeed hold the rest of the items I want! They are holding another La Diva RAV, L'Adorée RAV, Fougeuese RA, both blushes, the quad, and Impulsion IDO. So that's a gigantic list, but I couldn't help it I love this collection so much! I'm really looking forward to the appointment. I'm also very happy this quad is in the US formula. I was told however that the permanent baked quads are not going to be replaced.

I smiled & giggled through your whole post - it was that cute. It is such a pretty collection of colors. Let us know what you end up with then.

Aww, thank you! I quite like the effect on me. It seems that creme blushes look much more natural and pretty than powder blushes on me

I am wearing Intonation tonight.. I did put a very light dusting of MAC pink loose powder to set it and not dim the intensity -- it is lovely on! Oh and I bought the Fougy lipppie and I am wearing that tonight too.

Hot dates require a Fougy lip

will report in tomorrow

Yep, they really do become part of the skin to look so natural. I love them

Elegant-one, do u usually apply the cream blushes over or under your foundation?

 

[urbis]

mine too.. in fact all of mine do and I don't do anything special to store them.  They should last for years without drying up so I suspect something on the mfg level has gone wrong -- and the mfgs who work these types of products are usually in Italy.. where anything can go wrong.

What's the mfg level? From what I know, chanel us products are manufactured in the us.

 

[Monsy]

not all of the stuff, blushes are made in france

Over. I have done it the other way & works too. Mostly, I apply these with no foundation on. I love how they look so natural on clean naked skin.

I always thought the HM+A Lip Care smelled funny. Even brand new pots

Oh, mine smells slightly funny too. I suppose there isn't any magical way to 'fix' it, right? Maybe leave it open... or not open it for a while?

I used my Intonation under my foundation last night -- wore like a champ with a bit of Pink powder on top. I wish my Duo glue would have held up as well.

but yes, like Elegant, I use it under my foundation.

I ordered Chamade too!

Thanks! I was afraid the foundation would just cover the blush up if that make sense. U convinced me to give it a shot without foundation as well, maybe i could just use concealer hmm..

They're truly wonderful. I'm wearing Intonation today with Melodieuse lipstick and I'm completely in love. I own tons of powder blushes, but I've never seen a blush look this amazing and natural on me. I'm this close to ordering Charmade

Wearing Diapason (again) and giving Chamade its first official run. I used my trusty Mac 188 and it applied beautifully. I even layered it. That brush was made for these types of blushes, I swear. This morning, I had a little wateriness in the corner of my left eye when i first applied Diapason, but it's been absolutely fine since. Is it possible that I could be converted into a cream product girl? I feel like Chanel and Dior are combining to wean me from my purely powdery ways...

Here's a look at what I did today, Diapsaon on the outer third of my lids and blended into the crease.

Hypnotized by your eyes!!! Did you use only Diappy ? I'm in love with the lilac hue at the center of your lid.

I'm sure those shades are so lovely on you! The Chanel creme blushes are unmatched by any others. I'm so happy you ended up loving what you got.

Beautiful! I can't wait to get Diapason. The colour is so unique and pretty. I'm also loving the Chanel cream blushes. They are so much nicer than the Mac cremeblends which are the only other cream blushes I ever tried.
