Chanel Summer 2011

I think these glossimers are also somewhat thinner in consistency than most, I think maybe because they're meant as lipstick toppers more than to be worn alone, but I guess it remains to be seen if the forumula was changed in general.

oh i am not sure if i want one from this collection then. i never use gloss on top of a lipstick. i am so weird but i hate how goopy it all feels on my mouth! i'm a one or the other girl! the only exception is dazzleglass - but i actually pat those on with my finger if i am already using a lipstick!

They are verrrry different feeling on than a MAC lipglass or other lipgloss, very weightless and non-sticky. I don't think you would feel that way about glossimers. And Pink Peony does show up by itself on my lips, so you might like it alone anyway. I just meant there are more pigmented glossimers out there than these.

Aww, I will think of that when I use Mimosa - so adorable. Will she get to have her nails done in it? I agree, its lighter than what it looks in all the pics & in the store lighting. Its a happy color. I hope you love it on as a pedi

I'm sure when she discovers it, I'll definitely have to do her nails! I'm still kinda hesitant to let her use polish, but not completely old school like my parents were! I do put some polish on her toes once in a while, and on one occasion, one of the teachers at her daycare did her nails complete with nail art! But ya, she is all over yellow right now. We spotted a sunny yellow hoodie at Old Navy with a butterfly on it, and she's worn it three days straight!

That is so cute! I did buy a yellow Tshirt Ask her if I can borrow her yellow hoodie

when I do my nails yellow

Well, my mind is at ease because I finally got myself to a Chanel counter. I ended up with the duo instead of the quad! :lol: I had said before that I prefer the quad, but I think the lighting was off. I just couldn't see how deep and gorgeous the green in the duo was. Also, the lighter shade has such a beautiful sheen to it. Before, it looked like some white chalky mess. It pains me because I really, truly love the last color in the quad; the one that's a dead ringer for Rose Plantine liner. I wish I could switch them out some kind of way. Well, that's all I hauled. I passed on Sari Dore, even though it's gorgeous. I prefer Chalys and I am waiting for Teheran to come around(supposedly in May on the website). So, from this collection I got the duo and the liner and I'm very, very, happy. :happydance:. I always feel strange buying one thing because I am a make up hoarder, so I was trying to find a glossimer. Problem is, I have so many that I forget which ones I already own. I need to write it down and have it with me so I won't purchase one that I already own. hboy: Ok, funny story: there was a super needy customer at the counter before I got there. She had the MUA going all over the world. She was telling her to get this and asking her for that, blah blah. She wasn't particularly rude, just bossy and needy. I waited patiently and after about 10 minutes, the lady finally leaves. So the MUA apologizes, checks me out and then offers to show me how to apply the shadow because I had been so patient. I don't need anyone to show me how to apply shadow, but I said sure. Bless her, but what the hell? No primer, no foundation, nothing on my eye and she just goes to town. Granted, in the end it was...ok but I had green shadow all under my eye that I had to clean up and the colors were muted because they had no base. She put the dark green on and then the lighter shadow on top, FYI. Well, at least I know that without a primer my colors won't crease(they just won't pop). Wow, my skin must be super dry for it not to crease. :lol: Ok, sorry for the novel, but I thought it was funny.

Hi Shontay, glad to hear you were able to get back to the counter and successfully quell the lemming for the quad. I only remember briefly looking at the duo, but greens don't excite me much.

Glad to hear your so happy with your purchases! I would love to see swatches of the duo.

 

[elegant-one]

Shontay -

on both! Glad you like what you got.

Its the first anything yellow that I own - & all just to go with Mimosa

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

^^LOL, Shontay!! Ahahaha, that MUA gets an A for effort, at least.

@stv578: She sounds sooo cute, and so does the hoodie!!


I mega hauled today and it felt gooood. Got Misia, Antigone, and Romance RC Shines, plus Mythic Rouge Allure (I've wanted this one forever!). I also got Rose Platine, a Dolce & Gabbana blush, MAC's Tempting and one of the new-formula Cremeblend blushes in Something Special (the peachy one)...

Can't wait to try everything out!!

 

[elegant-one]

Honey -

Great choices - enjoy!

 

[Bonitinha]

Shontay -- that is hilarious. Bless her heart for showing you how to do your eye shadow!

Elegant -- I love that you got something yellow just to go with your polish!! So cute.

Honey -- you will love Mythic -- one of my favorite nude lippies! Enjoy your Shines and your other goodies.

Gail was sweet and sent me a sample pack of the Shines and now Aventure is for sure on my list

 

[shontay07108]

Here's my new baby: Khaki Discret (my first Chanel shadow :happydance: Took me long enough)

 

[Janice]

Awesome, thanks for the photos Shontay!

Oh you got the sample shines! Awesome - so sweet of Gail to do that! So you like Aventure on?

Shontay - those colors are great on you. Nice swatches

 

[shontay07108]

Ah, I forgot to mention I got samples of a cleanser. The MUA said since I already have clear skin she thinks the mousse would be better. Anyone ever try it? It's called mousse douceur, Precision Chanel.

 

[stv578]

Shontay, glad you're happy with the duo. It is really pretty, but I couldn't justify getting that and the quad! I get what you mean though about that one shade in the quad that goes so well with Rose Platine. It was the first thing the SA pointed out to me when I was testing everything out.

Honey, what an awesome and well rounded haul!

Elegant, I'll be picking up a yellow shirt too, if I can find one in the right shade! Unfortunately, my daughter will be very protective of her hoodie, lol!

 

[purrtykitty]

I'm so happy I let you ladies talk me into Rose Platine, because I think it's just my favorite liner ever. It adds just a bit of definition to my eyes without making them look over done and really makes them pop. I'm so glad I got two of 'em!

 

[Janice]

Darn, now I am really starting to second guess passing on Rose Platine.

 

[shontay07108]

Janice, I think that's the one thing from this collection that you should have.

 

[Bonitinha]

I loved it -- it will be the next thing I order!

 

[purrtykitty]

Well, I am no enabler-extraordinaire, but Rose Platine really is gorgeous. I love wearing it under my lower lashes. It's not nearly as harsh as black liner can be, and even more subtle than brown, but still deepens and defines the lash line.
