Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I wonder if Pink Cloud is close to d/c'd MAC Cute Blush? I managed to get Cute. It barely shows up on me right now, with just a little summer color. I imagine both of those would be just a really pretty pale pink winter cheek. I might have to get hold of Pink Cloud just so I don't have to have worry when I run out of Cute.

Miss QQ -- I just ordered Bikini Peach.

I have been wanting it for a while, but it was sold out on the Chanel site long ago. I have seen it brought up a few times on this board -- so I just picked up the phone and had Nordstrom send it to me. I love pinky peach glosses --- and that was seems like it is more pigmented than some of their other peachy glosses. Can't wait to get it

I have Cute! Its cute

sorry, corny I know - but I couldn't resist

I wonder if Pink Cloud may have just a tad more peachy than cute. I should go swatch cute to jog my memory

^ I just reposted the links above so you don't have to hunt for them.

Oh great - I keep looking at that eye pencil, but so far, I don't know if I like the ones that I already have so I dunno if this one would be any different

How is it colour-wise compared to your skintone?

I should do the same thing. So you are only getting Enigma and Taupe Grisé?

Tonight I had the nicest dream: I was out shopping the fall collection and bought a lot of stuff. And totally unexpected I bought a blush, was a long discussion. But now I cannot remember what the name was.
So weird, I never dream of makeup. Must be the Chanel vibe

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

So I wore Cassis today and I love it!!! I love that I can see the actual color on me and it doesn't just show as black. I wore it with Mac's Tissueweight, Memorabilia and Shadowy Lady. So glad I bought it.

^That's exactly why I love it! I wore it on my waterline all day the other day - & it actually stayed put ALL day. Your combo sounds beautiful

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I decided to hit Nordies today - the Macy's near me doesn't have the duos yet. I ended up with Taupe/Delicat and Berry Rose. I really liked the Gris pair too, and the Bleu one as well....decisions, decisions. It's a good thing these are perm!! I also bought the Gris (#35) waterproof liner - looooove the way it swatched (and I love these liners in general).

I'll try to do a look soon - I need to feel inspired to do one - just can't find the oomph to do it!

I'll also try to swatch the different rose blushes so you can see the differences. Chanel's color names are as unimaginative as MAC's are creative!

I do have it. It's a pinky peach, much like MAC Dainty, which is not my fave shade on myself. It would probably be prettier on you. Also, it has the problem people complain about with some of the Euro JCs...not that easy to get pigmentation out of. I have read some people like to scrape up the top of the baked JCs a bit with the brush that comes in it. Those black brushes are quite stiff so I can see where that would be helpful. Anyway it never got good reviews on MUA:

I was surprised it stayed on my lower lash line all day. I had read somewhere that it doesn't last. Goes to show you really need to test a product yourself.

I LOVE the Berry & Gris duos!!!- they will be the next 2 that I get

I also really liked the Gris liner - its a great color! so, prolly get that one too.

I'm so happy - I got my Too Face La vie en Rose blush

that is seriously the softest prettiest pink! I thought it would be close to MAC's Sweetness blush which is my #1 fave & most used blush - ever! but the TF one is a much softer version. Thanks for enabling - (psst & Hergreyness)

Thanks dear! I think I'll wait on this then, especially with so many other great things coming out. Eeeewww - I don't want to have to scrape a blush

but, yep - those black bristle brushes suck big time

ok, so i just read the reviews - yep, skipping it.

I'm getting ATLEAST Enigma and TG.

I have a feeling I might fall with Cassis, Vert Khaki and maybe the flesh coloured eyeliner (I really don't need it because I'm perfectly happy with my Illamasqua Vow and Mac NC15/NW20 pencil, but it could be fun to try it out, you know, for comparison reasons

).

I had a makeup dream last night too! I have makeup dreams frequently, but this one was a first Esteé Lauder-dream. I was hanging out with Pixiwoo Sam from Youtube. She had this EL bronze goddess loose powder with her, and she showed me how the applicator with it worked. The applicator was a glove with a rubbery spikes coming through the fabric. She spilled the whole powder on a table and then put her both hands in to the glove, and then she - with hands first - did "dive" in to the powder. The rubbery spikes made the powder magically fly on both arms. Then you just shaked the excess off and you had the most perfectly powdered arms. It was so cool in the dream.

After that I went to some very high end boutique, with just a nightgown on, to look at diamonds.

I just love makeup related dreams!

so glad you liked the LVeR blush.. it is so wonderful

... have you ever used the Sweetness blush as a lippie? it is fabulous too

-- gives a soft pink pout just layering it over some lip balm -- it is a staple for me now

Sends huge (((HUGS))) to Shypo -- hope all is well on the puppy front

I worked a full day today

and as much as I wanted to get into my colours I could not.. seems like I have lost a taste bud

or something.. I guess it will take a bit of time to get back into the real swing of things especially since I have such a pile up

.. but cominca bene -- e seguito male

Oh my - that sounds just gorgeous. I will go try that right now

Never even thought of doing that.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Yes, Elegant, I'm delighted you like LVeR!

ISa, thank you - all is well - I'm just battling a sinus infection and it's making me blah. Hercules had a fabulous weekend, and we've not had to medicate him but one time since Friday, which thrills me. He is his old self, which makes me very happy.

A full day, eh? Good for you!!! You will get around to the colors - we have no worries here!!!

I must check to see if I have Sweetness - for some reason I don't think I do, but then I think, how can that be?

It's PINK!!!

I'm thinking one of the cream blushes would be a good base for LVeR or one of the other pink blushes too....must give that a whirl.

I have to go into the office tomorrow, so makeup is a must - I think I'll keep it simple with the Taupe/Delicat duo, a nude-y lip like Myself

and maybe Orchid Rose........

Makeup dreams....wow.....I can't say I've ever had one of those - but wish I did! My dreams seem to center around travel...I'm always somewhere besides home, and either forgetting a suitcase, missing a plane, losing my purse, or having my car stolen.
