That gloss looks pretty! I can't wait to see what they're all about.

Sidenote: Now I want the hair thing they were demo-ing!

It won't be long now!! I'm so happy for you!!!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Did somebody say cheesecake?

We don't have any vegan cheesecakes available here in Finland and I'm too lazy (luckily!) to make it myself. But let me tell you how good it tastes everytime when I get to London! I'm always having a tasty piece (or two

) of a delicious vegan cheesecake when I'm there!

Btw - I just found my HG nude liner: it's the beige liner from Chanel that I got with the spring collection! I very rarely feel anything is HG but this is, with Brave New Bronze I think I have my perfect nude lip there.

Of course the lipstick is LE so I have to start looking for a dupe (suggestions?

), but does anyone know if the Chanel liner was LE or is it permanent?

Oh yes, we were on a cheesecake kick the other day. Cheesecake & makeup = girls best friends! I imagine the vegan version is hard to find!
Good to know about the beige liner -- is it the eye pencil? I'm thinking it was LE, but not sure. I'm really wanting to try a flesh toned pencil on my waterline -- I need to check it out

Uhm, it's been a really loooooooooong day, but exactly how does vegan cheesecake work

And congratulations on finding your perfect nude lip! This is not easy.

Congratulations stv568 on your nearly finished house. Have you planned the party yet?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Kinda off topic -- but aren't these cute? Karen from MBB said I won 16 glosses in a giveaway on her blog -- and I just got them in the mail today

My girls were so excited to see these -- it was so funny! They are lil makeup addicts already. Not Chanel, but fun to get!
I ordered a couple of glossimers with my giftcard -- and can't wait till those eye duos come out and I can get the free shipping!

I really need to be good and wait until next month!

My girls can't wait to dive in LOL It was fun because I usually never win anything!
The selection was not so hot on the Macy's (where hubs got the giftcard -- so I was limited). I really wanted Rose Comete and Exquise and they didn't have either of those! I ended up getting Mica and Magnifique -- I wanted Waterlilly, but they didn't have that one either. But I think the glossimers I got will be pretty and fun to wear!

Maybe if I'm really good for the rest of this month, I might be able to pick up a few more things when the duos come out

And yes, I am a bit more rested today, thanks! Your posts always make me smile.

Yours too dear!!

Yep I know, I should hit pan more often, it's just I can't bear to part any of my precious!!

I sent my mom for some NARS for me while she's in Spain, btw!! I used my dark powers and "told"

her about Orgasm, I bet she's going to cave too.

We totally rock!!

You should spent more time with us!!

Oh, almost forgot, Heidi I still don't talk with my SA on about the lighter foundation shades. I can't believe 30 it's the lightest available here, as it's my shade... While I'm not the darkest girl in town, there are certainly a lot lighter than me!! As the divide society we are in Mexico, the lighter the shade of your skin the greater economic power. So yes, there must be lighter shades available here!!

I forgot to write that it was the lipliner. I haven't tried the eyeliner but I'm curious to see it in person.

You have Nouvelle Vague coming to you? Wow, congrats, it is beautiful! I wanted that colour but again missed it like I did with Jade!

It is made with vegan cheese, which can be made from soya!

There are many vegan cheese options these days - like different kinds of Cheddars, Gouda, Mozzarella etc. There is this natural tofu cream cheese that is perfect for cheesecakes. I don't know why we have hardly any cafe's or places that offer vegan cakes/muffins etc. while it's easy to find them for example in London. Atleast there are ice-creams here yay!

The nude lip I wore yesterday was great for me colourwise, but for some reason it was so sticky! I've never experienced that with a satin (Brave New Bronze) lipsticks or with Chanel liners, satin is one of my favorite finish and Chanel lipliners have always been great too. I tried to put a gloss on top but it didn't help. Maybe I should try it with even more lipbalm underneath, although that takes away the matte finish a bit.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hi, Eugenia!

I was at the counter for a little while today and I swatched Orchid Rose finally, after I kept forgetting to do it. I love how it looks and now the question is, is it like mac's Prim & Proper? Or P&P has more red undertones?

I am also planning a haul at the next department store sale, earliest that it could happen is end of this month or early next month.

My list include the perm items and those from the fall collection

Fall 2010:
Rose Dilemma
Pink Teaser
Chintz/Rose Dentelle
Enigma
Cassis
Clair le crayon khol
Paradoxal
Jade Rose
Pink Explosion
Pink Clouds ? (I read here that there is indeed a LE JC for asia, #66)
Beauty Anonymous: Chanel Fall 2010 Makeup Collection

Perm:
Comedia
Misty e/s duo
Blue Satin n/p
ETA: Spices quad

Nothing is definite until I see them in person.

I tried soya milk once and I am sorry, I'd rather not have milk at all.

Is the soya cream cheese better? Some say almond milk is better than soya milk.
