Glad you're back! All our wallets have been crying. I think all of us loved this collection as it is beautiful.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

girls I'm having Chanel withdrawal coz I'm still annoyed at the fall collection not being released in Canada till August 9th

I want my stuff now! The only other thing I'm looking forward to are the A+O pigments but even those don't come close to stuff I'm wanting from Chanel Fall

I'm also wondering if it will make my skin look sallow. But I still look forward to the n/p and I want to try it on, at least at the counter.

I only briefly visited the MAC ITG thread so I'm not following it like how I used to. My counter is getting the collection this Friday and I'm a little stressed about getting my hands on SR as I can't reserve it. Hope that there is one for me when I go there after work.

Thanks Elegant-One. Glad to be back. I'm glad to know you ladies love this collection as much as I do. I just added swatches and review of the glossimers and lipsticks on my blog if any are interested in seeing the colors before purchasing.

I love it too, but already know it'll look odd with my skin tone. The coolest colour I can wear on my nails are pinky lavender shades.

Thanks, this seems to be the consensus on here for Petite Peche. I'll get Rose Dilemma instead!

Me too! Too bad you're in Ottawa, we could've done a road trip across the border, lol! Ah well, it'll come.

Yay Susanne! I hope you love it, I think it's a fantastic color and I can already tell I'll be wearing it like crazy in the fall!

I got a ton of things from the fall collection (the quad, single e/s, 1 l/s, 2 glossimers, Paradoxal, and 1 JC)! Fall/Winter make-up is always my weakness and everything about this collection was screaming my name.

Speaking of...Cassis, Vert Khaki and Khaki will be here Friday! I knew I'd cave on those singles when I ordered the eyeliner.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oh yes, I got Cassis too! I LOVE this liner! It and Enigma to me are the must-haves of the collection......

My luck I'll end up with not 1 but 4 Stereo Rose, so I'll keep 2 and sell 2 I suppose....or maybe karma won't permit me any .....it's so crazy that people can't trust the orders they've placed. Everyone gets whipped into a frenzy, which isn't good. I hope everyone has been able to get what they want - I just sometimes wish MAC would wake up - the only people who profit from the madness are the evil-bayers who prey on everyone's anxiety.

I really wanted SR earlier but, to be honest, my MAC itch has not just gone down it has darned near died. Or at least gone very dormant. I didn't even try to get SR and now I'm just watching the madness from a safe distance.

I am more excited about my recent Chanel purchase and, possibly, NARS fall collection.

EDIT: Wow, I just visited ITG thread for the first time in awhile. It is getting ugly over there. When did we lose sight of the fact that in the grand scheme of things it is just makeup. And makeup is supposed to be fun.

You said it sister!! I can't believe it - I'm just astonished at the back and forth, and MAC's total culpability in the whole thing. Sometimes I'm glad I'm as old as I am. It IS just makeup.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I just got Orange Fizz nailpolish, it haunted me since last summer!

But what is this Nordstrom anniversary collection I just learned about? I NEED that Inimitable mascara in Rouge Noir, I love that nailpolish and to have a mascara that colour?

And that Quatuor Boutons quad!

Ah, I really want it too! I keep looking at it every time in person - its so pretty & doesn't appear to be too orangey - just right peachy. How is the color on?

I hope you end up liking BOR - its so pretty in person. Pinky Lav. shades are my faves. I bet they look pretty on you too.

Thats what I have thought ever since I've been here - I think it is youthful exuberance

and, sometimes things get taken out of context...

& things are taken waaaay too seriously imho

Same here. Also, I thought Orchid Rose looked like it had too much shimmy, but it doesn't come out that way on me

thats a good thing.

So am I

.
it's amazing to watch ppl stay awake overnight just so that they wouldn't miss ordering some makeup & then they get nervous. all of these because MAC is playing with our minds.

Back to topic, i will get Chalys & Pink Teaser tommorow.
