Chanel Summer 2011

[Shypo]

How did I miss the pic AGAIN????? Phooey!!!

I have the EL starfish bronzer in my cart.......will have to see if they have it at the counter tomorrow to find out if it's too shimmery for me. I also have the BB Maui and Antigua bronzers that I use as blush.

I definitely want Chanel Rose Bronze, and might check out Dior's.......

^^ I wish I knew when the Dior bronzers were coming out! I use Soft Brown all of the time. Looks great to blend out a smokey eye. You probably already know this -- but I read that the Dior lippie that Kate Moss is wearing in the new Dior Addict ads is 578 Dior Kiss. Did you already get that one? I need it STAT!

I did!

It doesn't quite look that same color as it does on KM lips ...go figure

Elegant -- how would you describe the Dior 578? Is it a must have??

Cheryl -- I can't believe you missed HG's pic! You should have her send it to you in a PM

I have DiorKiss (#578). It's a really nice, medium pinky rose with no shimmer. I keep it in my purse all the time because it's a wear-with-all color that just looks good on my lips, which are sort of a pale mauve color (i.e., not very pigmented).

I have a list of about 15 that I want to see before I purchase - the Sephora near me (and the one in San Jose for that matter) are so lame, they don't have them yet - who knows, they may just be online - I don't know how Sephora can realistically carry the whole color lineup. But you never know.

I'm going to go swatch them at Nordies tomorrow. If I can, I'll swatch them on paper or something in order to post them -

I watched the mini movie on the Dior website of Kate Moss. She whips that DiorKiss out a few times in the video! It looks so fab on her -- I really want to try it out. On the Sephora website, the swatch of DiorKiss looks all off. I'll just have to go check it out at the counter. What other ones are you loving?? I have a long list, too

 

[Shypo]

I really like Backstage - it's sort of a purpley-mauve color on my lips, with just a hint of sparkle.....I also love It Pink - I'm not sure if you have that one? Paris is also gorgeous - a pretty hot pink with shimmer. Show is a nice, bright fuchsia pink, and Taffetas is a pretty lighter pink color with some shimmer.

My list:

Must-have (579)
Beige Casual (222)
Insoumise (Nordies exclusive - 983)
Rose Deshabille (260)
New York (714)
Blush (353)

And a couple more - these are ones I'm going to look at tomorrow -

C! keep us posted.. I know I cannot get away to any store, even on Saturday as I am going up to visit mom and sis.. and then lunches, dinners, movies.. no chance of sneaking away, plus I don't really want to.. but but I can still buy online

I don't find any grittiness in the Shiseido.. but I do find that the product has more durability on my lips which for me is the deal breaker.. Dior's are nice.. but I am finding that I need to stain my lips with transparent stains in the same colour family or a light nude makes these work for me.. otherwise I am wiped out in 30 minutes of yak time.

 

[katred]

I missed it too!!! WAH! We need some kind of advanced warning system.

I picked up the EL starfish today, because I just fell in love with it. There is some shimmer, but I don't find it overwhelming. Then again, I like some shimmer... I got the very last starfish they had, too. The other location I went to was already sold out. Guess those babies are popular.

I just have Miss Dior by now (don't remember the number) but my list, as Cheryl's, is also large =9

564 - model
561 - baby rose
554 - lt pink
530 - bobo
353 - blush
322 - unknown name till cheked =D

I may go tomorrow morning to check them out and to gossip around Guerlain's counter, since it seems that the summer collection is already out in here =O

 

[Bonitinha]

Katred -- yay for getting the last starfish! It is a gorgeous color. I just wish my pores didn't look so magnified with the shimmer. Curse the shine on the skin!

Almus -- looks like a good list! Oh, and 322 is Beige Perfection (I had that one on my "to swatch" list). Let me know how it goes!

Baby Rose is BEAUTIFUL! I'm getting that one next. And, Basic - which is a lovely light peachy pink nude ....ahh, they are all pretty

Oops! I just saw this dear.

Its a little bit deeper pinker rosier than the lt. Pink one. Its not truly unique but still very pretty on. It does not look in person like it does on KM in the promo

Hey, they are all gorgeous colors - but I do agree with HG on the sheerness & pigmentation. I'm going for more Shiseido

 

[Bonitinha]

^^Thanks for your description! I wish I could swatch the Dior right by the Shiseido. Between those and the Coco Shines, we definitely have our hands full

I do like the idea of the Shiseido having more pigmentation and staying power -- must check them out!

I swatched Diors yesterday. Omg there is so many colors, it's just overwhelming. Too many off them look like just one same color.

 

[User38]

Elegant -- I am ordering the 406 now.. lol. I did love it, and somehow it got lost in the melee when I shop and look at 20 things, the SAs get a bit dyslexic.. or I just said no cause I am getting Flamboyante, Gipsy bu and something else.. lol.

I thought KM's ls was the 554?

I was trying to swatch them yesterday, but there were so many and the girl at the counter was crowding me. I really wish that, when I tell them I'm just looking, they'd listen to me. I know how to find someone when I'm ready to buy!!! Dior has a particular talent for pinks, in my opinion and there are some luscious looking shades in the new collection, it's just overwhelming. If I'd tried to go through all of the ones that looked appealing, I would have had swatches all the way up my arm and neck until I hit my hairline. I'll get some eventually, but I just couldn't process it all at once.

That's why i NEVER buy anything at the counters. If i say "i am fine i would just like to see new colors" it means LEAVE ME ALONE, but that never happens so i go to sephora, where no one bothers me.
Only one new dior color i rememberd that i liked is parisian chic (what a lovely name)

 

[User38]

^ as I was finishing up my mini mu just now, I wanted to post this as a reminder to all who are interested and who want to buy the new LS shines -- be they from Chanel, Dior, Shiseido.. any company, please remember that these colours are very transparent .. and will change on your lips due to your lip pigmentation and chemistry and more importantly these colours are meant to be sheer and thus the lighter colours are not going to give you much colour or coverage if that's what you're looking for.

over and out.

Info on the summer collection, mostly what we already know. But the first pic with the model is gorgeous and it is now my wallpaper!

Parisian Chic was one that I really loved the color. I somewhat showed up on my lips. Pretty

HG - I hope you end up liking the 406! I do. Soooo many colors/lines to choose from
