I know!! But the camelias are soooo pretty I couldn't not having it!!

I have two hipnotizings, does it mean I can't have Misty??'

Thanks, I never know if my swatches are helpful. Even the dark colour in Mist-Soft looks great.

I like your new makeup closet, this dark wood looks great, especially against the white walls. Will you put inlays into the drawers?

So then let's wait together

What are you getting from the fall collection?

Oh, nothing, the texture of the light shadow is divine. I could have sworn before I swatched them next to each other that they are totally different.

Will you still get the Khaki one?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ I don't know. Will Khaki look good on my dark brown eyes? Or should I get the single e/s from fall, Vert Khaki?

Hypathya, you can still have Misty because the texture/finish is different from Hypnotising.

With brown eyes you can wear everything! The Khaki Clair duo looks very nice and from the swatches not too warm. It really looks tempting

Vert Khaki looks very nice as well, but it looks warmer and reminds me a lot of Mink & Sable. From the swatches I would prefer the Khaki Clair duo. Worst case with a bit of dark on the outer corner.

Hypathya, of course you can have Misty-Soft, as you apparently love Hypnotizing it helps to have another one

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Thanks! I will see Vert Khaki in person and compare it to Khaki duo before buying. Misty will be purchased first!

I wore pink teaser yesterday and I loved it! It's gorgeous and the way it catches the light is amazing. I took pics but I hate the way they came out. I'll keep trying, though.

There are some really good swatches and reviews of the fall collection here: Café Makeup

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Ok, these are two of my reject pictures from yesterday. I just want to give you ladies an idea of why I love this glossimer so much. It's the best beauty buy I've made recently (and that's saying a lot since I've bought some awesome stuff lately!). It's definitely pink on me, but it's like a rosey pink with shimmer instead of a milky pink like mac's splashing lipglass. Subtle, but still sexy. NC45 just so you know.
(Oh and no laughing, I skipped foundation. It's waaay too hot here in Jersey. I'm a sweaty mess before I even walk out the door and that's with a darn AC in my room.)

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Shontay - that is just LOVELY gorgeous on you -

I'm picking this up fo sure

Your skin looks amazing - you can afford to skip foundation girl. I hate foundation any more

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Did anyone get Cassis liner?

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oh, that is lovely on you, Shontay. And ITA, your skin is beautiful! You can definitely skip the foundation! I almost never wear foundation. Only very rarely for special occasions. Concealer is my best friend, though!

i had a wonderful weekend @ imats. time to keep up with my specktra ladies

Elegant... wow you are such an elegant & hot momma

Shontay... with or without foundation you always look gorgeous

 

[shontay07108]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

You ladies can still get your blush to stay on w/o using foundation? I always feel like an ass trying to put a powder blush on my bare face and it seems funny for me to try to cover my cheeks with concealer as a base. Mind you, I only started using concealer about a year ago and I have fallen off the wagon recently.

I find that for me it actually stays on better & has truer color especially like ripe peach & azalea blossom

& don't be feeling like as arse <----

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

OK, here's my first-EVER-to-be-posted FOTD. I wanted you to see Pink Explosion on my cheeks, and the really cool effect of Zinc Zone Greasepaint Stick under Stars n Rockets - the result is the cool purple color on the center lid.

PE gave me a nice flush - I went light-handed with it, using my MAC angled blush brush (the white-bristled one - too lazy to go in and look at the number

).

I wasn't wowed by the total look, but the eyes were fun. Somehow it never looks as good in the pic as it does IRL on me.

It looks like I didn't blend too well, but really I did!

I'll eventually get the hang of this photo stuff.

What I used:
Face
MUFE primer
Neutrogena Retinol Dermatologics tinted moisturizer
MUFE Lift concealer

Eyes
TFSI
Zinc Zone GPS
Stars n Rockets
Nocturnelle
Phloof
Brule
Casis eye pencil (Chanel)

Cheeks
Pink Explosion (Chanel)
Pink Shimmerbrick (Bobbi)

Lips
Pink Sugar l/l (Chanel)
Stresa AL (Chanel)
Nebula glossimer (Chanel)

I love it on you - You look beautiful!!! I can actually see the bit of purple in the liner.
Its really really hard to capture makeup in photos. I do not have it down at all.

I just packed my bags & coming to sit with you on that deck!
