It was quite tasty. I need to re-make it with some prettier veggies and then it's going on the blog!

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.

i'm going to quote your words on my facebook.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hey everyone!

So I happened to be in the vicinity of a Chanel counter, and somehow the Enigma quad ended up in my bag! Shadowy, I checked again and I'm sure the coral l/s was not there. But Cassis e/l was. I also swatched Rose Dentelle today, but I'm just not feeling it. If it's permanent, i may pick it up later on.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hey girls! I figured this is the best place to ask... is Pink Explosion Limited?

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ Yes. I think all the JCs from this fall collection are LE, right?

....and off to the undisclosed location for Enigma

I'm looking. I was wondering if any of our Singapore ladies have actually seen Pink Cloud blush & what they think of the color???

I think the new fall blushes are LE

Oh Sandra, thank you for sharing your story - our pets are so precious to us. I'm sorry she had such a hard time, but it sounds like you had a wonderful trip with her, and she was blessed with your love.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes - they are vey much appreciated!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

The holiday blush is Fuchsia Tweed, not a JC - Pink Clouds is international only, but who knows - maybe we'll be able to track it down!!

The Too Faced blush is in no way a bronzer, as I believe ISa mentioned.....it is a blush. Elegant, I'm glad you ordered it - I think you'll LOVE it!!

Pink Satin isn't so much darker or dustier, as it is a clear blue-pink that is in the middle of the spectrum, closer to the lighter end. It is still pigmented, but it doesn't have the intensity of Pink Explosion.

I hope that helps - I'll see if I can get a better picture, probably tomorrow - I'm in the office all day today and won't be home until tonight.

Eugenia, Shadowy Lady, Birgit (sorry if I missed anyone, I've been flying through the thread quickly to try to catch up).......thank you for your very kind words - Eugenia, you hit the nail on the head. And while I'm still upset, I'm dealing with the situation, and making the most of spoiling Herc. Of course my black lab Riley is happy it benefits her too!

Nora - so glad you got Enigma

, and love Pink Teaser!!!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I haven't seen Pink Clouds. The fall collection will launch tomorrow and hopefully, I will be in town on Saturday to check out the collection. If I do, I will report back.

Great to hear

Sounds like I will be the last to get the Fall collection

Btw, I am wearing the Misty-Soft Duo today and I

it for lazy days. It virtually applies itself. The darker matte shade is like butter. Was definitely worth it.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Sooo... I tried Enigma today, and so glad I decided to get it. All i used today was the pink and taupe-y greyish slightly bronze green shade and did a daytime smokey eye. Seems this quad will get more use than I thought!

I think that has been mentioned on here, but yesteday when I asked at the counter, they couldn't say for sure which were permanent or LE since they hadn't been to their update yet. I also think that that is why they're not supposed to put the collection on display yet.

Oh my is Pink Explosion pigmented! I tried it this morning thinking it would apply like it swatched, I ended up with bright pink doll cheeks, and that was with the 188! But once I buffed it down, I loved the colour, it goes on differently than the bright pink MB's from MAC, a truly lovely colour.

I have no idea when we'll get this, but it'll be one of the few items I allow myself now since I'm starting my very low buy!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Good morning ladies

I slept in most of yesterday after I nearly collapsed at work so my Doc said I needed some more recovery time and I get to stay in pjs until next Monday

YAY! I am getting to love my pjs too much

Anyway, yesterday there was some news re the Shiseido Mascara Makeup base.. and I did pop off an email to Shiseido and they responded as follows:
Dear Ms. ISa,

Thank you for contacting us.
We welcome comments and questions from our valued customers.

In direct response to your inquiry, The Makeup Mascara Base has been
discontinued for some time now. New mascara base will be coming soon.
We do not sell products directly to consumers, you can order following
Shiseido online if you cannot find a product you are looking for in
stores.

Nordstrom:

I had no idea it was discontinued -- shock!

but, I did speak with a Beauty hotline person in Nordies, and there is plenty of the product in stock -- so I will be hoarding slowly

Cheryl darling, I am so glad to see you back.. and I hope the Puppy is well today

It is at a "must get" status for me right now

Thanks for the info on the Shiseido Mascara Base, Her Greyness

I'm sure it is gorgeous! I have wanted it since it looks amazing and so versatile, but have waited since I know it is perm. But I am starting to lose my ability to control my fingers from gravitating to the Chanel website

Wait, somehow I missed the swatch to Pink Couds . . .

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I know, not many people understand our makeup addiction

As I was organizing my bins last night, I actually was thinking that some people might think I am borderline crazy . . .

But it is fun and girly and I love it !

What is going on with all of the clouds and rain around you?

Hope you get some lovely weather soon!!

Hope I did not enable

You will love it, I am sure. The colours are not superduperspectacular, but the textures well make it worth it.

I only found it to be Asian-only, seems like it will not launch in Europe

And somehow the order of the postings is always changing in this thread for me...
