Chanel Summer 2011

[LMD84]

Yup it looks super pretty but I skipped it cause of how sheer it is but I may go back next month and buy it as I love glossimers!

it kinda reminded me of smile dazzleglass but prettier!

 

[LMD84]

just bought pensee and wearing it already! i feel a new love for the glossimers coming on! just as sparkly as a dazzleglass but not sticky at all! heck yeah!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Enjoy! Yup they are my favourite glosses. Although they are not sticky, they last very long and don't migrate out of my lips. I'm wearing Lilium today and I thought of you. I love the highlight shade and the light green shade. I initially bought the quad for the taupe and it isn't my favourite.

thanks! i am so pleased to know they are not travelling glosses! hee hee! and yes the taupe is my least favourite shade. i am in love with the pinky highlight shade the most which is quite surprising! i bet you look beautiful today wearing it

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks. I agree, I thought it is just another highlight shade but I like it a lot.

How do you guys wear the colours from the quad? I've done two looks, and I can't come up with more combos - d'oh!

This is what I've done before: light green all over the lid, taupe in the crease, pink as a highlight and the dark green as a liner (lower lashline). Or: Taupe all over the lid, light green in the inner corner, dark green in the crease and pink as highlight.

I think I'll get one of the glossimers today or tomorrow - my first!

i like wearing it with the light green on my lid wet. the in the crease the dark green dry and the pink to highlight. or the taupe on lid and dark green in crease and pink to highlight. or even the light green on inner half of lid, dark green on outer half and then taupe in the crease with the pink to highlight

and enjoy your first gloss too! which will you choose! i am so in love with pensee!

 

[Anneri]

Thanks for your suggestions Lou!

I'm not sure yet which glossimer I'll get - maybe Pensee or Nakkar? I'm so looking forward to going the counter tomorrow! Today it was raining so hard I didn't want to go out...

Btw, love the new vid! And noticed that you mentioned the make up book!

So curious what you'll say about it!

Just found out that my counter isn't getting the Summer collection. So sad, I really wanted the eyeliner!

oh absolutely! the make up book reviews will be uploaded next monday for you i review that on and the nars one and i hope it is not raining today so you can go out!!

 

[Shypo]

kanne, that's too bad - can you order it online?

Anneri, I love Lillium too - and I think of all of us when I wear it! Lou's combos sound awesome - I even play with the pink as an above-crease color.........I also like using the darkest green all over my lid, starting in the outer corner and working it in to sheer it out a bit.

I'm hoping to pick up the Fall collection tomorrow - Nordies is supposed to get it - and they have the anniversary collection now. I'm really hoping they get the Byzance collection, as that lipstick is haunting me!

Hope you ladies have had a good week so far - I for one am glad tomorrow is Friday!!

 

[Winthrop44]

So glad you are back Cheryl, and with another funny avatar. At least I think it's funny unless it has some meaning I don't understand. Have fun at Nordies today. Can't wait to hear all about it.

 

[Shypo]

Hi Wintrhop! Thanks! Yes, I thought it was funny too, and it has no meaning this time around - once and again I'll do a 'theme', but not this time. I just thought she was cute. I have a really pretty (and tasteful) skull pendant by Barbara Bixby that has pink tourmalines in it, and since I got it I am intrigued by skulls - but the cute ones, not the menacing-looking ones. I think they have a meaning, but I have forgotten it

.

It's good to be back - I'm almost caught up on everything! Yay!!

 

[Winthrop44]

Impressive considering how chatty we are and how many collections are coming out all bunched together. Can't wait to hear your take on the cream shadows too.

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

So finally my Bronze Corail and Rose platine arrived Wednesday! I have to say I LOVE both! Bronze Corail looks amazing on my NC20 skin so I really think fair skined ladies can use this without a problem It gives a really nice bronzed look without looking orange or over the top. I like it soo much I plan on getting Bronze Rose now.
Rose platine is another winner! I am so glad my friend was able to get one for me, because it really brightens my eyes. I used it yesterday on my waterline and lower lash line and wow my eyes looked really awake!

I can honestly say I now understand why so many people love Chanel. It's not cheap but you really pay for quality. I am super excited of my new found love for Chanel makeup

 

[Shypo]

Glad you love your goodies ILMU84! Enjoy wearing them! Yes, we're all a bit blown away by the brand - you can't go wrong!

Welcome to the 'club'!

 

[LMD84]

after a week of wearing pensee i can officially say i am in love. the gloss lasts such a long time. has the most beautiful shine! i want more now though!

 

[Hippymeow]

I took the jump and bought my first Chanel item on Tuesday! This being something I have lusted after since seeing swatches a few months ago! The beautiful Mimosa nail polish! I adore this shade and am so happy that i took the plunge for it. Totally going to be shopping at the Chanel counter more!

 

[Shypo]

Congratulations Hippymeow!!

It will be hard to resist more now!! I also took the plunge on Mimosa, mostly for my toes - it is gorgeous! Are those your nails in your avatar? They're lovely!!

We Chanel ladies get a bit crazy - if you haven't ventured over to the Fall thread, do so at your own peril......
