Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Yay Eugenia is back! Hugs and kisses!

I have been super-excited lately because my Mom asked me if I could teach her more about make-up and help her to pick some good products. She gave me free hands and I have been buying her things I think she will love and get much use out of. It has been so much fun, I think even more fun that buying make-up for myself!

I got her some Chanel of course, Illamasqua, Mac (of course!!), Bobbi Brown, Urban Decay and brushes. It makes me so happy to see her look at herself in the mirror and feel beautiful when I've done her makeup. The best mother-daughter hobby ever!

Yes please!

There's plenty of different veggie-milks, not just soya. Almod like you said, Rice milk, Oat milk and so on.

It might be funny tasting at first, it took me couple of times to get used to it but now it tastes very good!

Miss QQ - I love that loooong list!

Will check after work, two weeks ago they still had three bottles. So do not get your hopes up too high

I will try one of the other milks you suggested, thanks for the recommendations.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Welcome back Eugenia!

Sounds like you have been the busy little bee lately! That is so cute that you and your mom can share makeup as a hobby

I'm so glad you came and got caught up with us -- we have been a chatty bunch and have missed you (our Chanel cheerleader -- we need a smiley for that!).
Bis -- thank you! It was fun just to win something. I always wondered if people really win those things or not

My girls truly thought it was Christmas to see that box o' lipgloss!
Pink Basset -- Oh -- you were talking about the beige lipliner. I was thinking eyeliner. I am always on the hunt for a good nude lipliner. I have to wear lipliner with all of my lipsticks or I can't get them to stay! I haven't tried the Chanel liners yet . . . You are so sweet to teach your mom all about makeup! I wish my mom get into it -- but she doesn't really wear any

Where in the world did I come from? lol
MissQQ -- awesome list for your haul!!

What a happy, fun day to get all of those goodies

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ Thanks!

It is still quite some time away but I'm happy at the thought of it.

I will take a pic! It may take a while but it's something I look forward to doing.

Shall see if some of the items get cut or put off for another time due to limited funds.

The liquid / cream Vitalumiere? I have a sample of the cream foundation and I like it, but I'm still debating if I want this or TI. 020 is a match for me.

What shade did you try? I'm having the same problem because they don't sell the lightest shades where I live. The 20 Clair/Cameo was too dark for me.

I think it would be a little miracle if there is any left, but I'll keep my thumbs up! Thank you!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Ooh, I almost forgot!!

Genial came yesterday afternoon (and my strange UPS guy is back...boo!) and I love it even more than I thought I would. It's so bright and cheery, perfect for Summer!! I'm wearing it today with MAC's Notoriety quad and Stereo Rose applied lightly as blush...love it!

Things I'm thinking about getting with the free shipping:

Amethyst single e/s
Sillage single e/s
Misty Duo
In Love JC Blush
Legende Rouge Coco l/s
Wild Rose Glossimer
Orange Fizz NP

I won't get all of them, just a few items (the Duo for sure!). What's everyone else thinking about picking up?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Heidi, I have a spare Nouvelle Vague if you want to PM me.

No job news, but I found out my unemployment benefits will run out in two weeks, and my credit card number was stolen (that's twice this year for anyone keeping track - first the family card, now mine). FML.

Hope you find the perfect job soon! Scary about the credit card number being stolen. That has happened to us also. What is wrong with people?!?
Sending good vibes your way )))))))))) Hang in there

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oops, forgot to comment under Meg's quote that I highlighted . . .
That is a great list!! Hope you don't have to narrow it down too much! I have really been wanting Rose Petale and the Enigma quad, Rose Comete and Exquise, and Waterlilly and Rose Delimma. And the duos -- don't get me started.

i read on your facebook.

maybe you & your family should close the accounts? it's weird that this happens to your family. it seems like someone knows your family real well, including their accounts and yours.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

We would, but those are our only two credit card accounts, and we've had them for years. The first time, our replacement cards were stolen out of the mail, en route. This time, IDK. Probably from online shopping on an unsecure site. I've not been very careful in the past, but now, I'll just stick to buying from the few large online retailers I frequent. No more online boutiques for me.

Loved your pics so much, you're absolutely gorgeous and totally rocking those Chanel lippies. Love, love, love the new avatar. That Chanel box it's soooo fantastic!! And congrats on winning those glosses, I'm officially envious!! Cheryl: OMG!! I'm in love with your UPS smiley. Even when I have a ton of Levres Scintillantes myself, I just couldn't stop staring at yours!! Thanks for the lip swatches, btw!! And saving the best for last, I loved both your Chanel FOTD's!! You're soo pretty, I'm in love with your beautiful, sparkly eyes!! Elegant: You are a stunning hot girl!! Your hair it's totally gorgeous!! Meg: I'm impatiently waiting for the "paper bag Super lips pic" I'm soo pleased to know your hunt it's over!! Enjoy!! ISa: I'm so happy to find you here, hun. I'm happy and proud, you're a strong, clever, amazing woman!! Be blessed. Nora: I'm sooo happy and excited to know your new home it's almost done!! Karin: I'm sending my best vibes at yo hun!!! MissQQ, Brigit and Heidi: Missed you guys!! Huge kisses to each one of you!! And last but not least: to all the new pretty faces!! Thanks to you all this thread it's becoming better and better!! 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!!

Thank you so much Eugenia, your name befits that of Royalty -- your kindness and sweetness mixed with that lovely touch of humour and humanity make me proud to know you, even thru this virtual mode..

biggest hugs, and with much gratitude,

ISa

I know how that feels as it happened to me also. Sorry for your troubles because all it causes is disruption and anxiety... money can always be replaced, but peace of mind is invaluable --

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth - yet

Crazy business deadline. And we're babysitting their poopy dog while the kids go to a wedding over the weekend. I love the little doggy

So now I have to play catch up & watch that video!

hugs to all!

Enjoy Genial! From my memory, orange fizz and genial seem similar. Are they? I think it will be fun to wear them together. Your list is fantastic as well!

I love to be my family's personal shopper, it's just soo much fun!!

Hi darling!!

Yep, I've been really busy... Besides, this stupidly mega large and complicated city makes anything a whole day adventure. I hate I don't have an Iphone or Blackberry to be here on the go... Just way too expensive here and somehow I always end spending that money on Chanel!!

Your box of glosses certainly look like Christmas, or maybe a trick or treat bag?? Yummy!!

Sadly, to my mom make up it's not a hobby. She loves it, but she's always sure to have what she'll wear and she always finishes her products. Actually, she owns like 20 lippies and she thinks they're waay to many.

If you give her, let's say, a pink blush and she already has one, she won't touch the new one until she finishes the current one!!

I'd say get everything + two quads!!

It depends on what you're looking for... In Love it's just the perfect coral blush. WIth a light hand will go perfect with Super and Genial!!

That's terrible Karin.

It's just awful when someone grabs something of yours, it's worst when it has to do with our finances. I hope you were able to fix things at the credit company and you feel better soon.

Let's stay confident that you're going to get this job and you no longer need your unemployment benefits.

Darling your kind words and high opinion towards me have seriously touched me and moved me into tears. I don't deserve them but I appreciate, treasure and humbly thank them.

It's a privilege and honor to be of any help, even if it's through this virtual way. My best of best to you!!
