Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
I bought the Hydramax lip care today and I just tried it on my lips. Amazing. It looks and feels fairly waxy in the pot but once applied on lips, it melts and doesn't feel oily. The little information booklet in the product describes it well: a mouth-watering balm that melts into the lips.

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!

I know, I also appreciate having a duo for my eye makeup that will take 2 minutes, especially in the mornings. Yes, the duos are available for me already. Today I went to swatch all of them again, and I decided to pass for the time being. I asked the MA which are popular and she told me Taupe - for day, and Misty - great for night, and Gris is closely behind these two.
The MA that I just started to like a lot has been posted to another counter. Well, it happens but that's all right. I have you great ladies here for any information.

Chanel Spring 2009 - The Next Best Thing To Going Shopping Yourself
My Fall stuff came this morning!
I love Rose dilemma - on me it's a little more mlbb/less pale and less sparkly than Mica (I think someone else compared it to Mica, but I may be wrong). I have sort of mauvey pigmented lips so that may be why, but I really love it - alot! Rose dentelle on me...is not as cool toned as I expected it to be, it's actually pretty much peachy pink, lol, can't really imagine needing the peachier one too given how this one looks on me. I do like it tho! Pink explosion..on my skin looks alot like Rose petale but with more shimmer. That's all I've really looked at so far.

Thanks for the review, I think I will like Rose dilemma too! I felt Mica is too sparkly or something, I wanted to like it but it didn't really feel like a must have for me. And I want Rose dentelle too!
I feel like skipping Pink Explosion now because I just bought RP and it works great for me. I will swatch both at the counter side by side to see if I need both.

I'm not that into smokey eyes on me anymore since I became officially old, lol, but...you can easily sheer out the pigment on these shadows so that they still look smokey but not overwhelming, esp if you only use a dark color in the outer third. And these are my kind of plummy shades. Nothing about them makes me look tired or brings out my dark circles (which are not too bad at all but do seem to be emphasized by certain e/s colors). Anyway, I am surprisingly very happy with it!

I'm glad you like Enigma and it's good to hear that it doesn't make you look tired! I am hopeful that it will work for me too, since we have the same problems with Kaska beige and some pinky coppery shades.
