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.

Hi dear!!

P&P it's a bit like Orchid Rose... not exactly dupes. Orchid Rose it's a bit sparklier. On my face they were very much alike.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Purrtykitty, I am sorry that happened to you again. I hope a new number fixes the problem for you. This is stress nobody needs.

Eugenia, I would be lost w/o my iPhone. But on the other hand I can understand that a phone has no chance against makeup

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^ I know!! But here an iphone costs twice than it does in the US and the cheaper plan it's $50 and only includes 500 MB and 60 minutes. This is a VIP country, dear!! And I'm not paying for something I know worths half.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ Thank you, Eugenia!

Yes, OR was sparkly when I swatched it at the back of my hand. I will pass it for the time being then, since I just bought P&P and can really use it more often.

Yes, I know what you mean. It's the same in most countries over here as well.
Give it some time, it will get better

Btw, I got Amethyste and cannot wait to try it

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hi Girls!!!

It's so much fun being away for awhile and coming back to catch up on the 'goings-on'!!

Karin, I can't believe this happened to you - I hope you get everything squared away soon to get your peace of mind back. And don't worry - the RIGHT job will come along for you, though you may have to wait a bit longer.

Eugenia! Hi!! So glad you're back! Thank you for the kind words!

I've been meaning to ask you, is your screen name derived from the Greek scholar? That is so neat!!!

Dar - Welcome! Are we adding an Irish lass to our little group?

Meg - glad you got your Genial! I'm hoping my Izzy's order shows up today or tomorrow - it's so much fun to get stuff you thought you would never find!!

Birgit - I think you will love Amethyst!!

Heidi - that is SO cool about you and your mom!!! I know that will give you both hours of quality time together - you are very fortunate!

MissQQ - very nice list indeed!

I just want to say that I LOVE the 'international' feel of our thread - I really enjoy hearing about experiences in other countries, and bits of your daily lives. It makes it seem like we're not separated by continents, or age. And I really feel as though you are all my 'girlfriends', and I look forward to each and every one of your posts!! Thank you!!

I agree

This thread is so fun -- and there is such a kindness you find here that you don't find everywhere else

Thanks dear!

I haven't seen Orange Fizz in person but this was my hope! Why does it seem like things we're looking for specifically (even perm items!) are the hardest to find at counters?

Originally Posted by elegant-one yes, think they are similar. I love orange fizz, but still haven't picked it up.

Hi Elegant, glad to see you back!

I'm so happy to hear this! I'll get it with my free shipping order soon. Have fun with the dog!

Hi Cheryl, welcome back!

I totally agree with this. I love hearing about all of the daily events and shopping experiences from everyone here! This thread is such a joy, and all of you make it such a wonderful place to "spend some time".

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Elegant -- glad you didn't fall off of the face of the earth LOL How is the puppysitting going?? My girls seem to beg me daily for a pupppy!

Eugenia -- I know what you mean about makeup not being a passion for your mom. My 2 sisters like makeup -- but they don't quite get the obsession. I don't think they even know how much makeup I really own

Oh well, that is why we come here!

Ugh!! What a huge pain in the butt! I'm so sorry you're going through this, and for the second time this year?!? That just seems so unfair. I sincerely hope things get cleared up soon, with as little impact to you as possible.

I'll keep sending good vibes your way for the job!

And I love that here not everybody is 16 and I feel that makeup is something that will be for a while and not until I or somebody thinks I am too old.
My bf already thinks I am too old for gloss

I plan to wear red lipstick when I am 88 and annoying people with makeup collections from back in the day

I agree Susanne! And, I'm so happy that you're here. Let us know what you think of the NP

So you like it that much

I thought perhaps it would have sold out like the summer NP.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hi Elegant - how's the puppy? I hope you're having a great time with him (?)!

And I for one am waiting to see that head shot! How's the crafting coming, Meg? What lipstick will you wear?

I did get my Izzy's order today!

I orderd some HTF stuff - Naturel glossimer (ooo, it's a gorgeous pink irridescent color), Divine JC (a tester version), and the international version of Sparkling Satins, which I have been lemming for awhile (not necessarily the int'l version, just 'a' version).

I will try to swatch later!!

Has anyone gotten their Rock & Republic orders yet? Mine has shipped - cannot wait to get it! I don't have anything from that line.........

OF is so pretty! Its kinda like Jazzed ls or Genial in NP form. Its not an obnoxious orange.

I love this little doggy

I just came back from walking/running her, & when I got home I thought I was going to pass out from the heat - so hubby says, 'there is a heat advisory out'.....REALLY, cause honey I didn't notice

I held the puppy like a baby after I gave her a bath last night

On the new Chanel collection coming - do we know anything about the Lip Pencils?

Morning doll - I was just going to write you

She is sleeping right now, kinda what I feel like doing

She is a Toy Fox Terrier with a ton of energy. I think she is the first one that has more energy than me

Did you get Petticoat? And, do we have a date for the new Chanel???

Hi Sweets! Awww...how cute. Sounds like she's keeping you a lot of company!!! Those are the cutest dogs - a friend of mine has two that she buys outfits for, which I think is hysterical in a very supportive way

.

I do have Petticoat from a previous collection - do you have it? I don't know a date yet for the holiday collection, but am diligently trying to find out! I think the folks at Ft. Knox help them out with date security!!
