Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cheryl and Sandra, hugs to you both, I cannot imagine what you are going through

This is why my hubby won't let me get a pet. He says I'd be too upset if we lost it...

I saw the new collex too

I went in as soon as I heard it was out despite the horribly hot and humid weather we're still having here. I got:

- Pink Teaser glossimer OMG this is so gorgeous! Prob up there as my fave pink lipgloss ever!
- Enigma quad - it's smoky so I didn't even hesitate! All colours swatch beautifully, cannot wait to wear this! I love me some some plums and taupes.
- Paradoxal n/p - This is such a trendy and chic shade. My hubby was even impressed with it, lol!

I did not see the Cassis eyeliner or the coral lipstick. My fave Chanel SA wasn't there and the other girl was new so she had no idea why those items were missing. I really want Cassis eyeliner to make the hazels pop

Nora, did you see this eyeliner at your counter?

I wanted to get Pink Explosion too but the SA really confused me by telling me I should get them all and then I didn't feel like getting any after that

I'm gonna go back when my MA is working to pick that up plus Taupe Gris e/s.

So happy with everything I got

That is true for me too. I feel that I'm paying more than what should have been for a bottle of OPI when I buy it from stores here when it costs so much less to have it shipped over. But for Chanel it is the same price everywhere!

LOL! It's true! Especially now that the house is almost done. If I picked up one or two items, he'd probably say, "oh boo", but 5?!

I'm not sure if Cassis was there. They had two liners, each in a separate bag (seriously, since the display wasn't out and everything was in a small box filled with baggies, it felt like we were doing something illegal!). I do know that one of them was the flesh toned shade, so it must've been Cassis. But they only had two lipsticks, one was Chintz, and I didn't even think to check what the other was! I'll have to go back and ask, but it's possible we didn't get the coral l/s.

I may be going back to the mall today to get a couple of things for the kids, so ya, i'll swing by Chanel again!

I'm glad you got everything you wanted! Pink Teaser is seriously one of the best glosses I have seen as well!

YAY! How fun! Can't wait to see some looks you come up with using the Enigma quad

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cheryl, my heart wants to just go out and hug you. We went through a similar situation with our beloved Bichon Frise Comet. It was so incredibly hard but we just took every day with whatever challenges it presented and enjoyed our time together. I remember alot of days just sitting in the rocker on the deck with him. I wouldn't trade that time for anything. We were lucky in one respect I guess. Comet was quite advanced in age by the time he got sick. When we eventually lost him he was 19 years old.

I wouldn't pass it up! If I had to choose only one item from the fall collection, that would've been it!

I rushed to Holts after going shopping but they were closed. *tear* Then I stopped in at the Bay to check and she said '10 days and counting.' What location let you preview if you don't mind me asking? Not that I have any money -.- I just bought JBrands and a $200 coat. But ain't it purdy. The back is AMAZING. Hitched Floral Trench Coat- View All - Jackets & Coats - Clothing - Topshop USA My List (Updated): Vert Khaki Enigma Pink Explosion JC Rose Dilemma Pink Teaser Regular Items: Phoenix RAL Venus Glossimer Ugh, I'm so broke. But I just want to indulge in retail therapy. I got a freaking 86% on my summer course, which is by no means going to get me into the university of my choice. Highly upsetting. But I'm like angry at myself cause I know I only give 50% effort and expect 100% results. And I know I don't even need to work as hard as other kids to get 90+ marks. It's really depressing that I've lost my drive. augh.

You bought a gorgeous coat and some wonderful products ... I am sure once you put them on you will feel much better

-- 86% is not bad.. it isn't great, but it isn't bad.. so next time, (and there will be a next time) just learn from this lesson. Don't lose your drive sweetie.. you are young and gorgeous and have your whole life ahead of you

Why on earth advertise a blush here in the US that is a limited release in Asia? Maybe we'll get lucky and that will be one of the ones released for Christmas.

There are also some amazing and unique colours to choose from.

thanks

I always find comfort in the idea that love connections never die, the love we give and receive is there always... if it's always there and we're connected by eternity, then we're never really apart. Hugs and love to you. Of course, it's Chanel!! In my experience, Le Vernis comes in shades rarely found elsewhere. A shade from spring and fall collections are always "The shade of the season". It lasts forever, I have bottles from 2001 or so. Although the cap it's a bit discomforting for application, the formula it's really good. I prefer Chanel over OPI or CG, because I collect them and they are easier to find here than the other ones.

Eugenia, you are our Chanel Idol

so i'll get Chanel Le vernis

I know! Well, I am waiting on a call from Chanel to confirm if one of the 3 new Holiday Blushes includes Pink Cloud

It looks divine imo

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

So sorry about your buddy, Sandra.

It does hurt to say goodbye to our furry friends, but the memories by far outweigh the pain. I could never imagine a time in my life without a furry buddy by my side.

One chanel personn told me that there are 3 new - so, I'm thinking he was confused with the 3 that just came out for Fall (which is probably what happened) but he said no - so thats why I'm waiting for them to confirm or deny how many blushes. Confusion. Either way - I need Pink Cloud

 

[elegant-one]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I checked out that link - so where are all the rest of the es duos? Are they releasing separately?

yeah, I think the Chanel guy is confused - I don't see 3 blushes

I guess we're all a bunch of not appreciated, understood ladies and that's why we love it here so much!!

I believe we shouldn't fear loss that much... We should rejoice and be thankful for the love we get to experience, even if it's for a brief time. The love we share, the way we let our loved ones "part" from us, shape our lives and build up or character and personality. Death shouldn't be such a tragic event, it's just part of life. Besides, our loved ones, never truly leave us. Just like a friend who goes to live to a foreign country, our relationship with them, just changes. Just because we'd be heartbroken, we shouldn't keep ourselves from sharing love.

Anyway, enjoy your goodies, darling!!

Besides, things happen for a very good reason, maybe awesome things are going to happen to you if you don't go to the university you want, maybe your destiny it's waiting for you elsewhere!!
