I found this review of the Misty Soft Duo (just recently found this blog and omg, it's great!). Great pictures and swatches in the review...this duo will probably come home with me when they're released. She also reviewed/swatched the Khaki duo and I actually really like that one too. I was hoping to be able to pass on all of these, but at least 2 will more than likely end up being mine now.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ Thanks for the links! I like the lighter shade in Misty too when I swatched it at the counter.

Khaki is the one I wanted when I first saw the pics of the new duo, but somehow it doesn't seem popular. Does the colour flatter my dark brown eyes?

Today I finished my bottle of fluid Teint Innocent foundation!

Have been thinking if I should get another bottle of fluid TI or cream TI or Vitalumiere fuild.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

The swatch of Pink Explosion looks really nice, not sure why the horrible review? I can't say I've had any issues with my JC's, and I get the Euro version here. Though after getting Rose Bronze CP'd from the states, I really love the way that one goes on, and it lasts a bit longer on me than the rest of the JC's I have (except for Imprevu, but maybe that's because it's darker?), but overall, can't say the difference is all that noticeable. I'll still pick up Pink Explosion.

Make sure to report back on what they say!!! I've asked at two counters, and they both told me August!

I'll definitely be picking up the misty duo, it looks beautiful! I swatched the Vanities quad last night, it's nice, but definitely very purple. I've got Dior's Night Butterfly quint, which I love, so don't need this, but would have considered it otherwise.

I also really want the singles in Silage and Trace, Lotus has been dropped off the wish list!!!

You can see on her skintone Rose petale looks quite a bit peachier than Pink explosion, the difference is more pronounced than on my skin. The powdery texture really isn't bothering me tbh, but I do see what she means.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

RP is peachier than PE on her. I will decide when I see it in person. If it were not LE I would definitely pass it for the time being.

Oh no....I LOVE Misty!

That red brown makes the eye colors pop. Arggh, & I was only going to get Taupe

It almost reminds me of my beloved Root CCB

I actually like it a lot, it's a nice neutral combo w/o being too brown. Works great for very conservative customer meetings

Funny though, the dark colour is not too red on me, otherwise I would not have bought it. I am in love with the light shade

Although is is awfully close to Hypnotizing.

Swatches, maybe they help someone:



Here there is a circus in town and when it is hot, they take the elephants to the lake to take a bath. Unfortunately from the three elephants only one dared to go in and enjoyed it a lot.
The brave elephant enjoying the bath and then the three elephants on their way back home.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

What great pictures Bis!

And thanks for the swatches...

 

[Camnagem]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Yep. The Misty Duo will be coming home with me!

Bis, thank you so much for the comparison swatches, they really help. I LOVE the bathing elephant...how adorable!

Over the weekend the hubby and I put together this Lingerie Chest from Overstock.com for make-up storage (it's sold out now, got it just in time I guess):

Coventry 6-drawer Lingerie Chest | Overstock.com

It's awesome! It's the perfect size for our current bedroom, and when we move and I get an actual vanity area...I can use this for it's actual purpose. It took a while to build, but it's super sturdy and has those awesome gliding drawers, and it looks like it cost so much more than we spent...bonus! So today I figured out all the different trays/drawer organizers I need for each drawer and I'll be going to the Container Store tomorrow (I could spend 8 hours there and never notice, lol). Really excited to get everything re-organized and hidden away!

I've never had the heart to touch mine and now I'm wanting Petales soooo badly!!

I remember that palette!! Stupidly I didn't get it.

I regret it deeply because it's great for traveling!!

I've never had any complaints with my JC. They're along with the glosses, my favorite products in the Chanel line. The ones I think set them apart. I don't get the bad review. I've never had a powdery one, although my mom once had one, but I always thought it was a bad one, from a bad batch!!

Gorgeous swatches!!

How cute and sweet is that elephant!?

Anyway, what's wrong with a Hypnotizing from Chanel? To me that's

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cute elephant, great swatches, great makeup storage!!! Thanks for all the pics! I love to see how you ladies organize....I don't have a Container Store near me so I have to compromise and go to Target and make due

.

It's so much fun (and very liberating) to have things organized and out of the way!! I am so loving my makeup room for this reason - maybe now I'll STAY organized!

Oh, don't even mention the Container Store....hey, I'm right there wondering around with you for those 8 hours

I usually get stuck in the wrapping paper aisles

I just bought an awesome awesome makeup 3 tray organizer that goes into your drawers at Ikea (the kids have one where they live) it even has plastic insert trays with 2 size holes for lipstick tubes/gloss. I only wish that I bought more....but I had a loaded bag with 144 big votive candles

& didn't want to push it

Unless you're ordering online while you're drinking - that can be costly ya know

as many on Specktra can attest to. It must ease the pain of hitting the submit button.

This made me chuckle to myself today

You haven't touch Roses! I didn't buy it because I knew I would not use it for fear of destroying the camelias. I used the 9 lip colour palette and I love the scent of them!

Maybe my JC was from a bad batch too.

Thank you for the swatches! Now I'm convinced! I want Misty and I don't have Hypnotizing! Justified for the purchase.
