[quote name="Miss QQ" url="/forum/thread/171803/chanel-summer-2011/930#post_2112044"] ^^ lol not a pretty sight. I'm waiting for this collection too. Oh yes I forgot about the EL starfish bronzer. I hope my counter gets it and I can try it before deciding. But the powder in the pan alone looks pretty already.
lou - i think you will love the bronzer. I'm waiting with you!
[/quote] It really is a great bronzer, not orange at all. Hope they arrive at the same time so you can decide which one you rather prefer (or maybe both :winkiss

EWWWW OMG really??!!! Cutting his nose hairs in PUBLIC! at WORK!! YIKES!
I've been eyeing the Starfish bronzer too because I wanted something pinky. I have Bronze Rose on the way too so hopefully we will love it! I was hoping Aurore would be more pink not peach. I'm not sure where I got that idea from?

I still love the Starfish bronzing blush -- it is peachy pink on me. I love it because it is hard to over-do and gives a nice healthy flush/glow and has a sheen, but not a shimmer. I think I could use the Starfish or Bronze Rose daily
Bis -- I am dying about the nose hair clipping . . .wowza! lol
[/quote] How would you describe the difference in colour between Bronze Rose and the Starfish? [quote name="mrslid" url="/forum/thread/171803/chanel-summer-2011/930#post_2112102"] It's Rebelle RC Shine!
[/quote] Oh no, the colour is gorgeous on you, and I was hoping to be done with the RCS.... I love the look on you and do not really think the blush is too orange. Might be my monitor though. Off to check if I can get Rebelle here...

Okay ladies, I did make it to the counter today and had a great time picking out just a few things with the SA. We'll call it a "spring update" for my beauty essentials. I was able to find a great match in the vitalumiere aqua foundation with B20. I really like the finish on this, and I felt the coverage was really nice because I have *alot* of ruddiness in my complexion. I am always on the lookout for something that can cover it. Thankfully the vitalumiere really performed for such a lightweight foundation. I also picked up Pensee glossimer because I am a complete sucker for corals and it just seemed like a light, fresh spring/summer gloss. However, when I got home and unpacked my goodies I saw the SA had given me Aurore so BLEH! I think I'll keep it and pick up Pensee on my next visit, but seriously how frustrating is it when that happens! I live in a little town and to go a counter I have to drive 45 minutes into the city.
I also played with the Dior 001 bronzer/blush you all have been talking about and fell in love with the luscious, easy color it created. The texture of the product is amazing and leaves a very fresh, sophisticated finish. The color didn't compete at all with the ruddy tones in my complexion so I couldn't pass it up. I think it will be a great staple for the rest of spring and summer. I would say it is a peach, but apply it heavier and you will get a deeper peach/bronze.
Oh and the SA sent me home with a sample of the new NARS primer with SPF. SPF protection is important to me since I use medicated creams. Currently SPF is completely missing from my makeup routine, so primer + SPF in one might solve that issue. I'm going to use this sample for the rest of the week and see how it does. It contains herbal ingredients that are supposed to alleviate redness (Hello, yes please! lol).
Anywho, don't want to get too far off topic but wanted to share today's haul and thank you all for your opinions on the Chanel primers. I'll probably post on the blog about my spring update with more pictures.

Bis -- I wold say the Starfish blush gives me a pinky peach finish with slight light bronzy undertones -- definitely has a pretty sheen to it.
Bronze Rose has more of a rosy pink color to it -- even with mixing it with the darker colors in the pan. Bronze Rose is cooler on me -- and the Starfish has a warmer peachy pink look. It seems to have a satin type finish on me -- not overly shimmery (which I like).
I hope that makes sense! It seems they look different on different people so I hope you get to check them both out in person. I like them both and am glad I bought both

Janice -- great pics and thanks for the update on your new goodies! I am still interested in the Dior bronzer even though I have bought 2 other ones lately. Bummer that they gave you the wrong glossimer! I do have Aurore and love it -- but it is very subtle and great over lipsticks. I would be frustrated if I went in for Pensee and didn't come out with it! Did you check out the Coco Shines while you were there?? Lucious

Gorgeous pics Janice!!!! You are so right about the finish of the Dior bronzer. I almost didn't buy it when I saw the fine sparkles in the pan but it is such a lovely finish that is almost impossible to overdue. I think my concerns of it being too peach were likely due to the effect of wearing it with Espiegle. I didn't end up wearing any bronzer today so I'll have to play more tomorrow!

Ooh, Janice that bronzer looks lovely. Great choice on the VA foundation - I love how natural it looks & feels like nothing on.

Your welcome! I agree, one of these bronzer shades should be on everyone's "treat" list for spring/summer! Sometimes you just have to indulge yourself a little.

Beautiful pics, Janice! Now I want Aurora again lol. I know your disappointment when you found the wrong gloss in your bag. This happens and I always want to check my items at the counter before paying, but sometimes I forget and this happens.
Thanks birgit. I greedily hope all the bronzers are launched at the same time so I can compare them altogether.
I observed that usually we get new collections in this sequence: Dior, Chanel, EL then Guerlain, and it takes about 2 months. Guerlain is very late.
Christa, I agree with Almus, I thought perhaps your hair colour is enhancing the orange feeling of the blush. Rebelle is gorgeous on you! It doesn't look that pretty on me.

[quote name="Bonitinha" url="/forum/thread/171803/chanel-summer-2011/960#post_2112428"] For those of you waiting for this collection to come out -- here's another pic of the 2 glossimers I got (Aurore -- top, Pink Peony -- bottom). It is taken in direct sunlight so you can see the gorgeous micro-shimmers:
[/quote] Oh, tasty. The more I see of Pink Peony, the more I like it. Thanks for posting the pics Do you think with pigmented lips I can wear PP alone? I'll never try the glosses at Chanel on my lips, everybody uses them *urgh* [quote name="mrslid" url="/forum/thread/171803/chanel-summer-2011/960#post_2112434"] I used the Dior bronzer again today and used the Armani Spring blush (pink) and it turned it kind of muddy warm on me. I'm very undecided on it. Maybe I'll just stick to my Edward Bess Daydream when I'm feeling "bronzy". I'm so anxious to try Bronze Rose!!
[/quote] From the pictures it really looks gorgeous on you. I swatched the Dior bronzer (01) today and it turned orange on me, but nearly everything does :dunno:

Thanks! I think the pictures aren't really showing it well. It definitely pulls orange on me which is not a look I'm fond of :-( I thought I cooler blush may halp but nope

Christa -- I hope your order comes soon! That is a bummer that the Dior came out looking a little muddy. I did think it looked great in the pics!
Bis -- I would think PP would be sheer on pigmented lips (maybe Elegant can chime in). Mine aren't very pigmented -- so I do get a rosey color. I prefer layering these 2 glossimers over lipsticks -- the effect is beautiful.
