I think Karla is the best swatcher, too!

Cheryl, that is a really great picture of your family! It looks really lovely where you are. Every time I've visited New England, I've just wanted to pick up and move there!

ETA: your family picture is a little big, so you'll want to size it down or put it as a link.

Thanks - I resized it - hopefully this size is ok?

I am afraid if you are not in Barcelona, Moscow, Dubaï or Istanbul you are out of luck, only those four locations got it in Europe.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cheryl thanks for your swatches, they really help! I'm still undecided on the glosses and lippies. I think I could very easily end up with all of the glossimers over a few purchases, they're gorgeous and totally wearable! I really like all 3 lipsticks but feel that Rose Dentelle and Chintz are so similar 1 of the 2 should suffice...maybe.

Your dogs are adorable, I sure hope Hercules is feeling better today. I have to be honest though, I'm not sure I could pass up all those yummy cookies either.

What a lovely, happy family you have...thank you for sharing!

Happy Friday everyone!

Yes, I think one or the other would be fine! I haven't seen Chintz and Chalys in person yet - but I really like RD. It's a perfect neutral rose. The glossimers really are fairly basic - I think to do it over, I would have passed on a couple of them, but I like basics so I don't have to worry about whether something will match what I'm wearing.

I know - apparently the cookies were good - Hercules is doing well - his appetite is back, so I'm grateful. That was an expensive oversight on the part of my kids - but they've learned something I think.

Thank you for the nice comments about my family everyone - I am blessed. We have our issues like every family, but we get by. I am really fortunate though. I just wish my dad was part of the picture

.

Have a great Friday all - I may post some more swatches tomorrow if I have time - maybe with each of the glossimers over RD. And I'll see if I can get them to show up a bit better. Or at least give you a better idea of the color IRL.

Toodles!

Went to Nordstroms today. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything from the new collection. At least I got to see the upcoming Mac collection, though

I agree, Chintz & Rose D ls are similar. RD more pink & Chintz just more peach.

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

I've got the black waterproof liner. It disappointed me a little, as it does smudge, even if used on my upper lid. I do have serious problems with liners smudging, but MAC's pearlglides wear better than this on me.

I've read that the UD liners have good staying power, so I may try one of those.



After much thought, I've decided to skip Enigma. I can't see myself getting much use out of it, too many smokey colours. I think I'm going to wait it out for the Misty duo instead. I'll probably pass the glossimers as well and wait for more pigmented colours to come around. But Pink Explosion will definitely be coming home with me!

Naturally, this may all change once I've seen everything in person!

Cheryl, thanks for posting your pics. Glad your puppy's okay, so cute!

And as others mentioned here, that is a great family pic.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Welll... just saw Temptalia's swatches of the lipsticks, and Rose Dantelle is definitely coming home with me! Maybe Petit Peche too, so disregard my previous comment!

Hi Nora! Thank you for the well wishes and compliments!

I have many of the UD liners and like them quite a bit - I use them much more than any of my MAC liners, and you really cannot beat the color selection!

She does have great swatches - I wish I had her camera skills! I think you would like these two - they're so versatile, and you'd get a lot of use out of them I think.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I totally forgot about karla, her swatches are the best! I wonder what her trick is

I def was Rose Dentelle RC now, that one is calling me more than the other RC's. Cannot wait anymore!

Hope you are all having a great weekend

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Just got my Rose Dentelle ls & Rose Dilemma lg

I love the colors of both of them - so pretty! They are much softer in color on than I wish they would be (because of my very pigmented lips), but still beautiful. I want to get Teaser & now because you ladies love it - Wild Rose

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ Enjoy your goodies! I want Rose Dilemma and either Rose Dentelle or Chintz.

that Enigma has too many smoky colours.

I like it but I don't know if I can wear it much in the day and to work. I like the two single e/s. Like you, all may change when I see the fall collection in person!

I am contemplating picking up a duo tomorrow but I can't decide. Wanted Taupe initially but it is brown and I don't care for brown much.

So you already have the new duos available?

I'm not one for browns either, though I've been using them a lot lately! I like the idea of doing a complete eye with two or three colours for work. This morning I used the lightest and darkest shade from the Plein Soleil quad. Not the most exciting look, but still pretty. It took maybe 2 minutes at most to apply!

You guys need to be able to order from a website! Although it is harder if you don't know exactly what colors you want.

Hows the skincare/eye stuff working out?
