Ok, I just got off the phone with the Chanel lady. Rose Plantine (sp?) she says looks or reminds her of MAC VEX es. Its a taupey duochromey, greenish reflective highlight color. She says its beautiful. She said everything is selling really quickly, & she thinks this pencil will fly.

hmmm.. is the pencil waterproof.. cause I use Vex with Mix med and over NARS Primer, and it stays on until I jump in the pool at night..will have to test I guess cause it does sound lovely.

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!
I wonder when they will get this collection online?? So excited . . . .

I went to my far mall with the Saks today and the summer stuff was out to buy. I didn't look at the eye pencil because I was in a hurry and had previously dismissed it. Darn! Now I wish I had looked at it after what your Chanel lady said elegant. Anyway, I bought the quad and the beige and pink nail polishes. Also meant to buy Pink peony glossimer but in my excitement (and rush) I forgot to ask for it. It's very pretty & I will order it at some point. I didn't really care for the pinky coral glossimer but the other one reminded me of an orange version of MAC She-Gold and I think it might actually look kinda neat on a warm-toned person. I may consider that one later on. Will try to take pics tomorrow if I get good light. The grey in the quad is a warmish grey with almost a green tinge, at least in Saks lighting that's how it looked on my hand. The beige polish is very sheer and probably no one will like it but me, but I love those kinds of np shades. You will all love Morning Rose. Mimosa was beyond hideous on me. I didn't pay too much attention to the bronzers because I doubt I'm getting one (I know I'm wierd, but i just never use bronzer). I did swatch the rose one though and was surprised at how overall light it swatched and that the "rose" looked like more of a yellow pink than anything else to me...again, that might have been store lighting tho. Of the Shines I really liked Bel Ami which I hadn't previously considered, but didn't buy it -- yet!

Winthrop -- thanks for your descriptions! I am definitely getting Pink Peony glossimer and the bronzer -- probably Morning Rose n/p also. Can't wait to see your pics!

Winthrop - I had to laugh because I do that all the time & get so mad at myself! Agghh, so you have me rethinking Mimosa

And the rose shade in the bronzer didn't have much color payoff :(

um yeah, I don't want it to be a yellow pink, but I know what you are saying about lighting - its frustrating. I can get my stuff now, but not really - if I want the Chanel bag - which I do. crap. I need to see a swatch of that eye pencil.

Thanks for the info!!!!

Well don't forget I have very pale skin with yellow undertones. I couldn't even wear the pearl np they came out with...the names escapes me right now, but the gold tones in it just made my hands look sickly. So I really already knew Mimosa would be a no go on me. I'm sure it'll look great on some skintones.

Since this is at counters,is it possible this will be online Monday?

Very good chance my dear! I was just going to go check.

I just got off the phone with the Chanel lady & she said it is flying! On the Rose Bronzer, she said its more of a rose flush color.

Man, I hope I can get to a Chanel counter tomorrow and that they have this collection. I am all over that pencil and the glossimers.

She said they already sold out of one of the glossimers - I didn't ask which one because I knew she had mine on hold. Pink Peony

Aurore - the peachy one - just called back to ask so you guys would know, but then she said she found another box of them (6) But that one is obviously popular

Are you laughing at me or with me, Elegant? :getyou: :lol: ETA: Pensee is the glossimer I want, judging from the card swatch on KarlaSugar. I'm also looking at the Bronze Corail bronzer. I really want a bronzer now, but one that doesn't look like I threw dirt on my face. I don't know if I should get this or wait to see Inca by Guerlain. The price of both makes me cry. Also, am I the only one who has no idea how to pronounce these names? I'm like "I'll take this one" so I don't end up sounding like a moron.
