Thanks dear!

It took years of...you can only cut a 1/4 or 1/2 off it

I have the craziest hair dresser ever! But she is really good.

This made me chuckle!

I'm liking the looks of Rose Temptation. And after seeing Cheryl's swatches of the glossimers, I think I'll probably only pick up Pink Teaser from the fall collection. I also read that post in the link Winthrop posted, and still don't get all the issues that people have with the Euro JC's? I don't need a stiff brush to pick up colour on my JC's, don't find them powdery, and definitely don't get glittery bits in any of mine.

There was a bit of fine glittery shimmer on my Rose Tweed blush, but that's from the overspray and is gone after a few uses.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

And I have to add that I was looking at the pics of Orchid rose on cafemakeup and mine does NOT look like that at all. Then went on to see that it is in fact different in colour in the U.S.! Makes it kinda difficult for us to discuss Chanel products on here when things aren't the same on the other side of the border! No wonder I find OR to be orange-y and Elegant kept saying it was mauvey!!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Me again!

I've been perusing the swatches for Chanel's fall collection... again... but hey, we're still not getting this for another few weeks!

I've also changed my list again. Vert Khaki is so on my list, why i didn't consider this before I do not know! So far then, my list is...

Vert Khaki e/s
Rose Temptation blush (maybe)
Pink Teaser
Rose Dilemma (crept back on the list

)
Rose Dentelle

Oh my this is gonna hurt the wallet... i do have a $30 gc from my Bay points and the $10 beauty VIP coupon. So that'll at least help!

Done for the night now! Night everyone!

I can't sleep -- back online. I keep going back to Rose Dilemma and Rose Dentelle also. But there are a few of the perm ones I want. Why must it be so hard to narrow down?

I remember thinking "when I fill up my lipstick/lipgloss container, I'll be done". Well it holds 50 and it is full . . . and um, I'm not done

Thanks for the link! Have you ordered from there before?

I'll just take one snip from each side and make pigtails! You know, one day my hubby will come home from work early and find me crafting a paper bag face...and he probably won't even question it.

Don't feel bad...I still look at all of the swatches!

I love Vert Khaki! If you like somewhat dirty olive colors, this one's for you. Think of a dirty martini with a ton of olives in it, but classier...a Chanel Martini!

I can't wait to hear what you end up with and love. For some reason Chintz RC is still haunting me. I'll have to go re-swatch at some point...knowing full well it's super close to others I own, lol.

Same here....on all of the above...well maybe except for the duos, I think I will hold off on those for now. When I swatched RT on my arm next to Orchid rose last week I felt like RT was just a deeper version of OR on me and wished it had less brown in it. I was glad that I had cancelled it from my NM order. We need more truly cool toned JCs. I wonder if TPTB at Chanel just don't feel they're natural looking or something?

Wow, that site looks great! The only thing that makes me a little nervous is that they show some nail polishes, for example, that I *think* go back awhile and then say they're "temporarily sold out". Where would they be getting more from if that is the plan?

Maybe they won't and that's just their default blurb when something sells out until they update to remove it. Have you ordered from them before?

They are different because I've had both versions - I remember my Euro OR having less pigment overall and more shimmer, but I don't remember much about the shade per se - but anyway, ours still has a touch of peach in it too. It's a strange shade!

I think it really depends on the shade. I've had some Euro ones that I thought were great and others that were hard/dry and difficult to get any pigment from. Unlike Sabrina, I am not having any problems with my PE and RT swatched great at the store for me too.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I got my first ever Chanel anything this weekend. I wanted two, but they were sold out of one. I went to the mall specifically to buy lipsticks from YSL and Chanel because I wanted a nice orangey color lipstick because I don't have one. Anyway, I picked up one Aqualumiere in #72 Palma. It's sheer and I love it. Gorgeous! I also wanted another one that looked like a sheer greyish lavender, but they were sold out. I had the rep write it down so I can order it later. So happy with my purchase!

Awesome! Now I have to check out what color 72 looks like. Did you get to see Chalys? Maybe its not quite what you want though.

I love greyish lavender colors!

I'm so glad you popped in here.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

After Hypathya mentioned the signature Rouge Noir, I couldn't wait to check out the color - I love it! But, there is also Ballet Russe (anyone have that one?) which is similar to RN, but slightly more burgundy. Its really really pretty. I can so see myself wearing this color all fall.

Yay! You will be an addict like the rest of us!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Gorgeous avatar, elegant!

I don't have both RN and Ballet Russe. The n/p from that collection didn't make it here. That's too bad because I like them a lot from the swatches.

You ladies are chatty here!

I'm already addicted. I was eyeing that new palette, but DH said no because I had just left the MAC and Benefit counters. Ha! I am going to order that 2nd lipstick though because I love purplely lipsticks and I don't want to buy MAC Go For It (it's not moving me) so yeah, definitely going to get that one.

What is the name of the 2nd purple lipstick?

Elegant, you hottie, you. Stunning new avatar! You could be featured in a hair product commercial, my goodness. Fabulous.

Tee hee!

Another girl who worked at the Chanel counter pissed him off because she didn't want our little girl at the counter touching anything. Plus...I spent too much at MAC.

When I get home I will check the card to see the name. I cannot remember it to save my life right now.
