Sorry if this has been posted, but Pixiwoo on youtube did a tutorial for blue shadows and mentioned the Chanel quad for the Summer collection. It looks beautiful. 55 seconds in to see it http://youtu.be/18c9WGZW6K0 ETA: Oops, the quad is for fall. My bad. LOL

Thank you everyone - I'm really praying that she doesn't need the surgery - that is just insane. She doesn't complain of it at all - she's very rambunctious and 'tough' according to the vet - she said she's likely in pain with it. You'd never know except for her limp. I'm trying to keep her quiet (not easy, she's a Lab) so that she doesn't put undue stress on it. The good news is the vet that we have is an orthopedic surgeon (she took care of Hercules when we were going through his ordeal) and I love her and trust her - she will give us the straight story.

Anyway, on the topic of Summer stuff - even though it's RCS stuff - I ordered Aventure and Monte Carlo today, and am hoping to pick up Rebelle as well tomorrow night. I did also get the black patent bag, so I'm anxious to see it!

I'm definitely getting the quad......and the bronzer......and the glossimer.....and I think that's it for this collection.

Ooh, Aventure is so pretty, I think is going to be my next RCS - I'm having so much trouble picking colors (they're all gorgeous and I love the formula). Post pics when the bag arrives, I'd love to see it too

Hope your pup is feeling better soon!!!

Very sorry to hear about your puppy Cheryl. I really hope she'll be ok without the surgery. I know that ligaments can be tough even with people- who can actually communicate that they are in pain. At least she has a loving family to take care of her.

I know what you mean, CheshireSmile - I love the color of Mimosa but I don't think it would suit my skin tone at all!

I'm definitely getting the bronzer - thanks greatscott! Those swatches are great - I too am glad they're not scary bright! And I've caved on the quad - I'm going to get it and the Pink Peony glossimer.......

And then I have to call a halt - my other dog might need surgery to repair a torn ligament in her knee.....to the tune of about $3000.......

. I'm so hoping it mends on its own.......what is it with me and my dogs lately?

i hope your fur baby will be ok sweetie! poor thing!

lol you are on a mimosa spree.

Remember the bird's claw? lol...

Some pics on Mimosa here. I have Essie Shorty Shorts and I like it on my toes but need three coats to be even. Not sure if I need mimosa.

^^^ Thanks for the link, MissQQ. I will skip Mimosa now, I am too old and too impatient for this many layers.

yes that will be a skip for me. lots of layers are too fiddley for me!

 

[2browneyes]

Thx for the link MissQQ....I think I still need Mimosa

 

[User38]

I second bis .. too old and grouchy to boot..That said, I still think this looks like a Cockateil foot

 

[elegant-one]

^LOL! I'm trying to purge that image out of my mind

BTW peeps...she said it was the Essie one that she had to do 3 coats - not the Chanel polish.

I am a trendy old bag - & I think I can rock it

I've been finding myself looking at yellow handbags & shoes now...so I must take the plunge & be on trend.
cockadoodledo tweet tweet nails like a bird's feet

dear heavens, & I haven't even been drinkin yet woot woot!

 

[elegant-one]

OMG - I forgot to tell you guys what one of the chanel mu ladies told me

she said they are doing all the nails in the Mimosa yellow & then just the pinky nail in the Morning Rose

I said yeah, thats pretty weird for an old lady like me to do - SORRY!

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ I want to see pics of your nails with the pink pinky nail and the rest yellow!! You can start a new trend

 

[elegant-one]

^LOL! I don't think dh would even let me out of the house doing that

 

[Alisha1]

Thanks so much for the well wishes!
It's been over a year of training, my only treat from testing and such was Chanel!


Winthrop- I loved the quad, the green's are gorgeous! I wish the SA would let me take a pic, but they are pretty strict. I'll need to take a pic of MR tomorrow in natural light since I left work after sundown tonight.

Alums- I love the bronzer, finally, was able to take some pics tonight.




My friend Ms. V helped me with the swatches, her arm is on top. She is NW20ish and I am NW45ish for reference. From left to right are the Bronze Corail stripes vertically with the coral at the bottom on the far right. This was taken with no-flash under a bright light.

OMG I need this bronzer in my life! Anyone know when the UK release date is?

Hey peeps - my Chanel lady called me today - THE SUMMER STUFF IS IN

at least they got theirs. She said everything is just gorgeous. And that eye pencil that we thought was kind of a weird color - she said its beautiful & would love it. LOL - she's a different Chanel lady so she knows nothing about my likes or dislikes but hopefully that means that its a pretty shade. She just left a message, so I am going to call to get deets!
