Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I still wanna check out the quad. I read temptalia and Karen's reviews, the reviews here and on Makeup Alley and ultimately I never buy anything without testing it on myself. We all have different tastes, skintones and preferences. I love bold lips and smokey eyes (together or not) so I think I will like this collection. I also have more of an uncommon skintone. I'm very neutral, most ppl are either cooler or warmer than me. Both Karen and Christine's skintones are especially quite different from mine.

The thing that bugs me about Enigma is that the three darker colours look like they'd look super similar once blended. That's something I have to test and see. I'm very pumped about the rouge cocos and glossimers though. Hope we get the fall collection soon.

Thank you Meg and everyone! The visit was great! My dog (Hercules) is home, and on about 5 different meds. We discovered what happened: the 6 dozen cookies that my middle son's girlfriend made for him were left out by my oldest son, and the dog ate them ALL. All of them had chocolate. It's a good thing he's a big dog, or it would have killed him.

I'm glad he's home!

And here's his partner in crime (Riley) - and yes, that is a bean can she dug out of the recycle bin (it never stops):

And I'm going to get a sample of the body producs - love smelly-good stuff!!

Oh, and my Le Coton came today!!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oh my goodness! Ladies, direct your attention here: Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches (Chintz, Rose Dentelle, Chalys).

Chalys is soooooo mine! From the description, I knew it was the one for me to look out for, but it's even better than I anticipated. I missed out on Genial, but I will not miss this! Gorgeous!

Well, I would take the chocolate chip cookies over the bean can any day - but seriously 6 dozen

oh my. They are both adorable!

You would LOVE the Body Excellent products. They are fantastic!

Ooh, spensive cotton balls - snicker

well I am glad I bought them

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oh, what a naughty puppy! I'm glad he's OK, though. Both your boys are beautiful! I love labs. I wish we could have a couple.

When I was younger, my parents' dachshund once got into my bedroom, tore open a big bag of Hershey's Kisses and ate nearly the WHOLE bag...peeling the foil off every single one!! Luckily, there's not enough "real" chocolate (i.e. cacao) in them, so she only got a nasty case of, um, loose stool...ewwwww.

Wow, I did not expect those lipsticks to be as gorgeous as they are. Even Chalys, which isn't usually my cup of tea, is gorgeous. I can't wait to test these out in person!

Oh!! So bad!! Genial it's gorgeous!! Of course, Vegas Volt and Impassioned are gorgeous too!!

Enjoy them!!

Give him a huge kiss from me!!

Thanks for both pictures!! Those are a couple of gorgeous boys!!

Almost, forgot: Do tell us how you like your Cotton!! I'm sooo jealous!

No problem, Hypathya and thanks for your thoughts on the eye kohl. Somehow I missed it yesterday. I will be buying it and hopefully, it works on me.

30 Chanel quads????!!! My goodness

. I don't even have one! That's awesome!

Cross my fingers for you, hun!!

I know!!

Keep in mind I fell in love with Chanel as a child and I've been seriously collecting since 2003!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hypathya, I think it should be 15, the eye shadow brush. Most likely the 1 has faded!

Wow, 30th quad! I think Enigma is my 10th Chanel quad.

stv578, I let my kabuki dry lying on its side. Perhaps it is a bad one, because it shedded from the first day I got it until now.

I like Karen's blog but the colours on her are very different on me. Karla's swatches are the most accurate/similar to what is on me.

elegant, I want the purple liner! And maybe the mascara too! Lucky you that you got to see the Christmas collection!

I need the money tree too!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

OK ladies - here is the swatch I promised - it's the best of several I took. The fact is that these glossimers are all pretty light on pigmentation, except for Pink Teaser.

Petit Peche is almost like Bikini Peach (as someone mentioned earlier) and Rose Delimma is very very light, like a lighter version of Mica. Pink Teaser isn't what I'd call a 'vivid pink' like the description says, but it's a pretty rose-pink with the most pigment of the 4. Coral Love is also pretty light with gold flecks.

They're all pretty, but subtle. If you're looking for pigment, there are other glossimers that fit that bill, but these will be gorgeous for the summer (which is a bit odd since it's a fall collection

). Yes, pale lips with smokey eyes for fall according to Chanel (anytime, for me!). Or, great summer lips!

I LOVE the combo of Rose Dentelle and Rose Dilemma - I have that on right now (just to try it out) and I can see it quickly becoming a go-to everyday lip for me!!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cheryl ~
Thanks so much for the swatches!

I am really excited to get this collection. I think so many of the shades are so wearable and flattering -- Yay! So glad your dog is doing better -- poor thing -- quite the chocolate binge!!
I love the pics of your family! You must be so proud!

Thanks for sharing!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Does anyone know how well the STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF LONG-LASTING EYELINER - eyeliners wear? Do they work well on the waterline???

After seeing that color used in the above Makeup & Beauty Blog link - its really pretty on the waterline. But for me with contacts, its got to stay put.

Her first sideway shot of the quad - the colors look really true to how they are.

Too bad you seem to have a bad Petit!!

That brush it's seriously gorgeous!!

Totally agree with you all, Karla it's the best swatcher ever!! I keep waiting for her to upload the ones for this collection!!

I don't know if I'll get the purple liner, as I already have a purple Stylo Yeux Waterproof, VIoline. It depends on how "different" they are from one another!!

The new liner is a deep blackened plum.

How well do these wear? And, do you wear them on your waterline & if so does it stay put there?

Me!! I love them for waterlines!!

As I don't have UD or MUFE here, these and the GPS are my way to go lining waterlines.

They are a bit hard and dry. Before I apply them, I swatch them at the back of my hand and then are perfect to be worn. They last all day, but most shades are really light once applied on waterlines.

Oh!! One more thing, since you are a contacts wearer, they do not contain any sort of mineral oils in them. Many, many pages ago, I listed the ingredients list, if you are interested!

Thanks for the note on Enigma, I'm going back to stare at the picture!!
