My bronzers went back to the store, along with the Mimosa nailie. No dice for me. I like the Guerlain Bronzers much better, so I'm sticking with those. But I'm getting another Rose Platine Pencil (I cannot say enough fabulous things about that pencil) and more RCS lippies. OMG I soooo need to win the lottery.

Oh, and I wanted to mention something that I noticed yesterday with the Bronzers...which may be only me but...
I find that if I use the Bronzers by themselves on my skin, they show up so beautifully with true color. But, If I use something else on my face (like yesterday I used the UCL Daycream first) it changes how the color looks. So I guess I will use them on bare skin. Actually, I have noticed this with many blushes as well, hence I had stopped wearing foundation. The new Chanel foundation doesn't change the colors though & its the only foundation that I have found so far that plays well with color

I'm really trying to talk myself out of the quad! I bought the WW green quad, and the colors seem too similar to justify buying, even if the finishes are clearly different.
I tend to not wear bronzer much, but I find that my skin has lightened a bit now that I've been wearing sunscreen every day for over a year. I love my TTB cream bronzer, but I hit pan a while ago, and I'm trying to save it because it wasn't repromoted. But I'm definitely waffling between one of the Chanel ones and one of the Dior ones (or maybe even a Guerlain bronzer). But I think it will be nice to have for the summer, because I plan to try to get out a bit more this year.
But I have makeup ADHD -- I've been into brights lately, so my Chanel items have not been getting as much love as my MUFE and Illamasqua items.

[/quote] I am in the same boat. They are so similar color wise, but I love greens so much and I still haven't bought a Chanel quad or even a shadow in my entire make up loving life (how is that possible?). I'm really trying to hold on to money because I have bills to pay(bills acquired by make up hoarding :lol:hboy.

I haven't checked in on the Chanel threads in quite a while. I did pick up the Rose Platine eyeliner and Morning Rose nail polish. I also got a back up of Pleasing Glossimer. Finally! I've been wearing Pleasing and Tweed Fuschia blush almost daily since I bought them when that collection hit. I also got a card for some samples of Coco Shine?? (Is that the name?) from Nordies. I may have to check it out soon.

Christa, sorry to hear of your issues with your daughter - try to stay calm as she'll feed off of your stress - I hope things get better soon!

I do love it. It's like MAC's PIP BP. Subtle to the eye but gives major effect.
I am surprised to see that Mimosa is still available online. It is sold out at every Nordies in my area and only 1 Macys here still has it in stock (although they only had 2 left when I was there yesterday).
