Oh right, was it so that you were not in US (meaning the Nordstrom exclusive stuff)? We will most likely get the fall collection here, usually in august too, but I have to hunt down the Nordstrom button quad and the mascara somewhere. Thanks anyway Birgit for your sweet gesture, I really appreciate it!!
p.s. I'm Heidi

These are actually the 2 lip products I'd recommend. Pink Teaser is really gorgeous and it's the standout glossimer for me in this collection. The others are pretty too, but less unique. Lipstick wise, I like both RD and Chintz for a more natural and pale pink lip, but you for sure don't need both. I wore Chintz today with Seashell glossimer and I just loved it.

Thanks Megan!
And I have both of the glossimers mentioned here and adore both of these! I'll probably end up picking up Pink Teaser and Chintz!
I'm starting to lose my patience waiting for this collection!

Yey, excited for you. Maybe you could share some pics of the place with us when you move in
Oh and I just saw the post about the price of housing in Canada. It's def gone up in Ottawa too. We bought our house in 2008 and its price has now gone up by about 15%.
Also, one question ladies, I've never tried a Chanel blush, I have no idea why
I guess I'm just hooked on Nars. What would be a good starter Chanel blush for me? I'm NW25 (fall) to NW30 (summer). I prefer pink or neutral/glowy blushes.

I'll have to really exercise some restraint then with the fall collection. I've settled on Vert Khaki e/s, Rose Temptation JC and one lippie (gloss or lipstick!), which means I'll have to be very selective. |

Hmmm, iirc, you tend to like corally colours and cool pinks? I would definitely check out Pink Explosion when we get it for fall 2010 as Chanel doesn't really have a JC right now that is a true pink. In Love looks like a beautiful light coral, but may be a bit light for your skintone (JC's are quite buildable though). My favourite JC atm is Rose Bronze, but definitely a much warmer bronzey pink shade & a U.S. product. I wouldn't really recommend Rose Petal, it's nice, but our version is a really light neutral ballerina pink. Not sure if Narcisses is still around, but I wouldn't recommend it either, gorgeous in the pan, a very cool light pink, but it barely shows up on me and I'm around NC20-25.
Okay, Pink Explosion is my answer, but I haven't seen it yet!

The mascara is awesome, isn't it?! I've never tried the base - might have to add that to my list!
Glad you're here - we're a relatively small but very lively bunch of Chanel lovers!!

Oh, I have been looking for a really good mascara base! Of course it should be Chanel
What do you feel that it does for your lashes? Some that I have tried made my mascara kinda stiff.
And Welcome!!!

Believe it or not, I just tried my sample tube of Chanel inimitijtihriutyi (ok I don't know how its spelled
) mascara. I loved the wand, it made my lashes separated & long, but still didn't give me that vavoom that I get from Diorshow.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
Well, my interview seemed to go well. I actually ended up interviewing for two positions. I received a lot of positive feedback and was told I gave correct answers to the hypothetical situations.
Now, of course, comes the waiting game. Three or four positions with approximately 20 applicants. Plus, they're government positions, so vets/disabled vets will get preference. Still, crossing my fingers. I think I'd do really well in either position.
Thank you all for your well wishes.
Every little bit helps!
And in Chanel news, I love their Inimitable Mascara...wore it to my interview! I'm lucky I have a few more samples to go through before I have to fork out the dough for my own tube. I still need to shop around for lash primers, though. Maybe I'll pair Dior and Chanel for maximum impact.

Well, I'm sorry that you are not sleeping well - it is certainly understandable and to be expected, so be patient with yourself - you're likely to find someone on here at that time if you're looking for someone to 'talk' to -
Do you share your photos? If you do, we would love to see your work - and trust me, we will not be looking at undereye circles
Quote:
Ooooo....this sounds like something to check out - I've always loved using primers: when I remember to use them! The more I add to my 'routine', the more I forget to do!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Do you know when you will hear something?
