Just got back from the Chanel counter and I was very bad. Got the quad, all the glossimers, andt the rose bronzer. I plan on using the bronzer as a blush. Can't wait to try it out.

Eeeks -- I will probably be very naughty myself! I want the rose bronzer, 2 glossimers and the pink n/p . . .

^^ C! A chromaline NC15-20 pencil would also work well for you on the tip thingie.. if you have one of those around - I have not used this on my eyes as my eyes are a bit allergic to them but it works well on the mouth if you want to create the illusion of a larger.. aka BIG mouth.. lol.

Interesting - I don't have any of the chromaline pencils - I can't wait to hit the Pro shop in Las Vegas when I'm out there next month!!

I am making my first trip to Vegas at the end of this month. Managed to get a day out there by myself before DBF gets there so I am headed to the Pro store and a Ricky Martin concert.

Between you and Ingenue I'm pretty tempted by Canotier, Bel Ami (which I loved yesterday when I swatched it) and Deauville. The up side of living in the sticks is that I don't have to care much about trends. Not that I won't be buying the mattes & velvets in the fall, because you know I will, but I won't stop wearing the Shines either...I will just switch to the less bright colors. With many that I've tried so far I've noticed that the shine wears off before the color and my lips are left with a nice (and thank goodness even) stain, so it'll all be good even if I run into the only trendy person in town or anything.

[/quote] I am afraid she might be right though... Not that it's fair or anything. Do Chanel collections sell out fast in the UK?

Thanks for the descriptions Winthrop! I pre-ordered my stuff last night - my MUA said it will be here next week. I pre-ordered Bronze Rose, Rose Platine, Pink Peony and the quad. I'm now considering Aurore........eek.

I also came home with Canotier, Bel Ami and Bon Heur RCS - the others didn't swatch that great on me, but I was really liking Deauville too - quite pretty! Canotier is gorgeous!! Will be great with on its own or on top of something else.

What does Canotier look like on you?

It's a nice neutral on me - I don't have really pigmented lips, so it's sort of a 'sexy' summery look on me. When that's not the look I'm going for

, I'll use it with other colors. It's the multi-color sparkle that got me.

And I LOVE Deauville. That will be my next one unless my head is turned by another......I also swatched the LM gel lipstics - they're nice - I think Rosewood is my favorite. I obviously haven't experimented with them on my lips, but they seems a bit more 'tacky' than any of the others we have (Dior, Shiseido, Chanel). By that I mean that the consistency seems just a bit thicker....really kind of hard to describe. No shimmer at all, so that may account for the difference in texture.

I agree with you. I will still be wearing the shines in fall, and buying the new lipsticks if they aren't drying. I live in the tropics and technically there aren't 4 seasons, but only 2 monsoon seasons, I like to follow some of the seasonal makeup and clothing trends just to enjoy the imaginary seasons. It's an excuse to buy more things that I like.

I love wearing other lipsticks over the Shines a lot as it softens it. I did CYY over Joyeuse & it made it wearable & really pretty.

Thanks C!

oh, did you see the new Smashbox lippies - lipstain on on end & a soft matching balm on the other? the colors look very pretty & I love stains
