Elegant u seriousely take the best pics! I now want at least one of the bronzers again! But which one do you girls think I should get? I'm now about NW20...boo, all my tan is gone! We need more sun here or I'm getting back in the spray booth!

And I know for sure I want:

- Morning Glory n/p
- Pensee glossimer

OMG I can't finish watching that video. That's hideous!!!

I was thinking of trying the Dior bronzer as I thought it looked like a better option for me than the Chanel one. Of course I'm still being nagged by Bronze Rose. I should just call my SA and she can tell me it's sold out and then I can forget it ;-) They only had one left the other day so I know it must be gone!

ok, I just watched the video for the Dior bronzer & I must honestly say - it looks rather bland & boring compared to the Chanel - at least in the video. just my humble opinion. The Chanel bronzers are more dimensional & are more like a blushy bronzer. This is from someone who is not a big lover of bronzers ;)

The video you say is the one in Cafe makeup by Lisa Eldridge, elegant? It's from july 2010 right? Is there any other video, I think I had a super long nap and I am still sleepy lol

OK I finished watching it LOL The bronzer she uses in that video is not the new one everyone is talking about. I think Amy just posted that video for people to see bronzer application techniques ;-)

That's it - but I am a bit confused as its listed in the above list, but I don't see her actually show the Dior bronzer unless I missed it.

This is the new one which I'm in love with the look of it:

The Lisa Eldridge video is just an older bronzing tutorial that happens to also use a Dior bronzer in it which is definately boring looking as you said Elegant! It wasn't posted to show the new bronzer just for people to watch if they wanted tips on using bronzers in general ;)

That was really confusing because she talks about the new Dior one by name both above & below the video

It still looks like a basic bronzer on the arm swatch - but pictures don't often capture the true beauty of a product

Yeah I was surprised by how boring it looks in the swatch....but it's right next to EB Daydream which I have and LOVE. It is actually what has me considering bronzers again as I had thought I was too fair to pull them off. The fact that the Dior one actually looks more subtle compared to the EB one is what convinced me even more I should consider it.

Well, the thing with the Chanel ones is that they are more Warmth with natural flush of some color & the darker strips with lighter strips seems to give a sculpted look. Maybe I'm just crazy, but thats how it looked on me. Plus, the deeper strips are lovely eyeshadow colors - an extra perk

For me personally, most bronzers even the light ones are just snookie light

but the Chanel ones didn't even come close to that.

Karla's swatches:

http://karlasugar.net/2011/04/chanel-summer/

Personally...I think everything looks much prettier in person. And the grey in the quad really doesn't look purple on my skin. Maybe it's a chameleon. I know Karla is cooler toned than me. But elegant and Ingenue, do you feel like the liner looks like an iced violet as she also says?

No, I didn't think so. But, maybe that is a lighting thing. It looked straight up med taupe with silver. I didn't see any violet.

I meant to tell you that I really liked the grey in the quad a lot.

And, was your Miami Peach kind of watery/thin? I got mine today & I love the color, but the consistency is a bit watery.

*cries* I want Miami Peach so bad!!!!!

Now Karla's swatches having me wanting Bronze Rose again. From Karla's swatches I can definitely see using it as eyeshadows as well as Elegant so craftily suggested! Called my SA but she's not working today so I emailed her. I guess we'll see if I hear back but I know that last one has got to be gone by now.

Pink Peony gloss is in my Nordies May 14 pending order. We'll see how long that lasts. snicker.

I think you will love the Chanel bronzer. Its even lovely just in the pan.

Photography has been kind of a hobby of mine, but I have no idea how they come out like that. Maybe its the camera. Its a Canon powershot 1100, but then I also have like a professional Sony too.

Yes I have Misia on the way to me too! I didn't order Miami Peach though because they add $10 to the shipping because it's flammable so $25 plus $10 plus 21% duty and taxes is $40 and that's WAY too much for a nail polish. Why do I always have to want what I can't have. If Chanel didn't have so many stupid exclusives I just could have got it from my SA :-(
I wonder if Canada has it?? I know we get some of the exclusives sometimes but I'm 2 hours from a counter.
