^ I am too..... maybe next year

I bet the quad & PE blush look so pretty on you! Enjoy your goodies

It is still pigmented, but it doesn't have the intensity of Pink Explosion.

Yeah, I'm anxious to get it. Not sure what TF shipping is like from their site. And PS.....

we'll see soon

It is worth the wait!

Misty-Soft is already in my to-get list and now, I can't wait to get it! It will come back with me for sure in my next Chanel haul!

Do you use just the two colours to do your eye makeup or do you use any other eyeshadows, say for highlight?

haha!

It really doesn't take much to enable me

I really do try to budget for what I love. I'll do a real splurge here and there, but now I am determined to get just a few things that I love

And I think the misty duo just may be on that list!

And Elegant, I am with you -- birthday cake and wedding cakes are just

I have a friend who makes the most spectacular cakes and can make anything out of fondant. Love, love!

Sorry, back to makeup (I am easily distracted) . . .

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

1. Puts Shiseido mascara base on list......I like this product a lot, therefore it must be discontinued?
   
   
   Hoarding along with you ISa!
   
   
2. Misty duo definitely at the top of the list......I was trying to resist, but
   
   .
3. Must do an Enigma eye look - I haven't used it yet, but it's probably time.....
4. Pink Clouds will become an obsession......I must try to find someone in Asia to get it for me....
   
5. Herc is the same ol' Herc - if a bit gimpy. I refuse to be sad before I must be sad.
   
6. I REALLY need to stick to a no-buy.......or maybe a low-buy.......
   
7. ISa - enjoy your pj time - and recuperate with us!!!!
   
   Feel better!
   
8. Cake? Did someone say cake? Love cheesecake (don't forget tomorrow!), wedding and birthday cake too!!!!!

Hold your horses ladies....I may have a US source for Pink Cloud

..trying not to be too excited until I know for sure.

So, I know this guy who is a Chanel MA (not the other one that gave me stupid info yesterday about 3 new holiday blushes) anyhoo...this guy is really big in Chanel company - travels to NY, West Coast, Europe etc. He has a direct line to corporate so he is calling them today to find out if he can get PC.

<-----if he can get it. I have to call him back after 5 est.

oh, & don't you like how I re-arranged your priorities 1 & 2

It has to be low buys, cause I don't think we can do "no buys"

And yes, no buys are extremely difficult and stressful!

I hope it works out and you can get your hands on pink cloud!!! Such the resourceful enabler too, i'm impressed!

I completely agree with you,we here on this thread in particular are not the "no-buy" types! But I must stay strong and be very selective, no more undisclosed locations... not including this last haul of course!

Shadowy, good luck today, hope you get everything you want.

Wow, you have the insider scoop! I haven't even seen Pink Cloud yet, and I am already intrigued!

Agreed! A no-buy is highly unlikely!

I agree -- we are just not "no buy" girls!! With Chanel, I find that I really *love* everything I buy. I mean, I want *tons* of it, but when I get a couple of glossimers or something, it totally makes my day and keeps me satisfied . . . um, for a short while at least, and then I am mentally preparing my next list

I am learning it is all about quality!! But yes, I like quantity, too

Glad I could help!!

The Buddhists say "You can't change things, you can change how to deal with things". I always try to keep that in mind. Meanwhile be sure to hug and kiss Hercules for me, well you can also kiss and hug Riley too!!

He's going to loose his buddy too!!

Yes, give them both plenty of love!!

Man, that would be the ultimate hook-up!

I too am on a low-buy. There's so many awesome things coming out, but in reality, I just don't have the money to afford them all, nor do I need them all. I'm going to have to get realllllly picky now.

I can enable myself easily. Maybe I should enable myself right into being a rep. for Chanel & then hookin you guys up here with some goodies & news & ....

I really have been more selective lately which is really the safety zone for purchases.

EXCEPT - when it comes to pink blush or lipstick - they are exempt from restraint

Ever since I was a little girl of strong will, the word NO was never an option for me...I am a make a way find a way person no matter what

Note: I just spoke with the Chanel dude & he is still awaiting a call back from his connection

blah, I hate waiting....so it will be tomorrow

I really need to cut down and go on a "lower buy" after MAC's feline collection. I've been going kinda nuts lately, but loving every second of it! Speaking of...I picked up the Mystic Eyes quad today, love it! I'm such a sucker for neutral/smokey quads.

I hope everyone's hanging in there this week and taking it easy. I've been super busy but hopefully I'll be able to spend more time here at Specktra soon!

Making you a Chanel SA would be Chanel's best play, I can guarantee you'd triple their sales!!

I hate being told NO!!!
