Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I saw these today. I have to say, for the amount of shades that are available, I wasn't overly impressed with the colours for me. There were very few lighter colours, which is about all I ever wear. I ended up with #20 and 11 (Rose Comete and Legende). Rose Comete was a no brainer to me, a nice shimmery light, but not too light pink. Legende is really out of my element, because it really is a much deeper pink shade. Mademoiselle is also very very pretty. They said they had already sold out of it once (not sure when it launched here, but there has been a commercial for them at the Bay for at least this past week), but they did have more in stock today. I will likely pick it up later on. I do have to say, most of the colours I swatched went on very rich.

If you like coral shades, Camelia (at least that is what I think the name was), was beautiful. Definitely more on the pink-coral side, but very pretty with just a bit of a sheen.

The Bay told me they started selling them on Feb 12th. My counter was sold out of Mademoiselle and Camellia (which I wanted). I bought the last Teheran and Cambon.

I really liked the colour range coz I prefer bolder colours (especially reds). I feel like they could have used some cooler pinks or purples to give the range more diversity though. I'm still gonna go back to the counter when they get their next shipment to get Camellia, it was a really pretty colour

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I'm dying to buy these new lipsticks! I work for Saks, so I want to order them from their site, but it's acting up. Every time I click on the lipstick, it takes me back to the Chanel homepage. I am not happy right now.

Thanks so much for your thoughts. I've been thinking the same about the shades for me, but to be fair I've only seen most of them on Temptalia. I'm looking forward to Karla's swatches. Someone on MUA posted that MAC Cosmo is a super close dupe for Mademoiselle. Is that your feeling too? Cosmo didn't look good at all on me way back when, but my tastes change over time so maybe I'd like the shade now, not sure. How would you describe Rose Comete - cool, warm or neutral?

Hmmm, I have not used Cosmo in a very long time, but Mademoiselle I think is quite different. I remember cosmo being more of a pink/brown type shade. Mademoiselle doesn't really show pink at all. More of a beige/brown/corally shade. Sorry, I really suck at describing the more neutral type colours. It looks to me like a colour that will be flattering on a lot of skin tones. Unfortunately, the promo pics with Vanessa Paradis wearing it look a lot different from one site to the next.

BIG EDIT! I just had another look at Mademoiselle in the tube, and it pinkish. I'm rather confused now, probably has something to do with the craptastic lighting in the department store. I can see the comparison to Cosmo, but I still think that was more pinky than this. Okay, I completely suck, sorry.

On my monitor, Karlasugar's swatches look a lot more accurate than Temptalia's.

As for Rose Comete, I'd say it's somewhat on the cooler side, but not much, with a slight rosy tone to it. I think it's the most shimmery of the bunch. I was drawn to it as soon as I looked at the display, but ya, I'm a sucker for shimmery pink lipstick, being an 80's kid and all!

Oh, and I ended up going back for Mademoiselle today! Oops... me thinks that I'll be skipping the Beach collection after all!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

LOL Well I ran out of patience waiting for Karla to swatch and ordered Mademoiselle and Rose Comete last night. Hope I love them...they seemed like fairly safe choices!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I picked up Paris at the Coco Rouge Unveiling on Thursday. I have to say- a majority of the line is kinda disappointing. The lighter colors have a frosty finish and remind me of the Hydrabase lipsticks that they are set to replace.
The bolder colors are creamier. All are very lightweight and have staying power.

Honestly, I think you'll love them both. I have yet to try any on yet, but they look so pretty in the tube!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I just ordered the new lippies from Saks in shades Mademoiselle and Cambon. I can't wait. If I love them, I will try more. I also ordered Futile glossimer (bummed they didn't have Maline. To Chanel.com I go). And I finally ordered Mandarin Rouge Allure Laque. I am supposed to receive them by Thursday. I chose standard shipping. I get my Saks employee discount, but that rush shipping charge is ridiculous!

 

[shontay07108]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Ok, I just ordered Futile from Chanel's website. LOL and I went back to saks.com and ordered Rouge Allure lipsticks in Impertinente, Delicieuse, and Incognito. Now I am putting my cards away until next week!

I also ordered Notable by Mac and Morange lipstick. I've been very bad. LOL

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Chanel has descriptions of all the Coco shades. Just click on "The Colours of a Legend" when you get here:

ROUGE COCO - CHANEL ROUGE COCO Universe - Lipstick - Chanel Make-up

Interesting that so many have "coppery" in the description....

 

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

They have looks posted for some lipsticks too. Click on The Colours of a Legend, then Looks by Peter Philips:

Will do!

I meant to say I ordered Maline from Saks and Futile from Chanel. Reading my comments here made me nervous that I ordered the same one twice. I had to go back to my invoices. LOL

I was so close to ordering Egerie. I might just get around to it.

Geez, you're not kidding! When I saw coppery in the description for Legende, I came to the conclusion that these descriptions are about as good as MAC's!
On my monitor, some of the colours don't look quite right either. Oh well.
