400??

OMG...I could never do a sugar fast!!! At least not now, maybe sometime down the line. Far, far...far down the line.

Hang in there and be strong, I think it's awesome you're doing it Nora!

I found some new Extrait De Gloss info/pics/swatches!
World Premiere – Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss Café Makeup

Swatches/pics/review of the first shade she picked up:
World Premiere – Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Fatale: Review and Swatches Café Makeup

It looks AWESOME! I can't wait to see the others as she posts them up!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I'll bet you're just ready to get into your house, already, Nora! So cute how excited your kids are!

Ok, I can go on collecting

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Lol, yes you can, Susanne! And I just ordered most of what I wanted from the China Glaze fall collection, plus a couple other OPI polishes (they're still up on Transdesign, and they have the new OPI fall collection, too

).

 

[Camnagem]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I just ordered a ton of polishes from Transdesign too, OPI included! I was so pleased to see the fall collection there after all the drama...maybe that's already blown over? Who knows!

I ordered a bunch of Zoya polishes too (I'm in love with their fall collection!).

I can't wait to get both orders!

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I want a bunch more Zoya polishes, but I'm holding out in hopes that they do the buy one, get one sale. I'm hoping Rescue Beauty Lounge does that sale again, too (but I don't think it will be until December). I also need Lippmann to do a sale, as there's a couple of polishes I want there, too.

I'll only pay through the nose for Chanel, but that's because the stuff never goes on sale!

 

[stv578]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Karin, did you see the Lippman (or at least I think that's the one) Temptalia reviewed over the last few days, the purple one with the glitter/hexagon bits in it? I may have to find that one!

I'll have to look at the Zoya fall collection!

Megan, thanks for the link! I may have to treat myself to one of those glosses!

Must exercise restraint!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

OK, I was finally able to do and photograph a look with one of the duos....well, actually parts of 2 duos ......what I used (all Chanel unless otherwise noted):

Eyes:
Both colors of Khaki/Clair duo
Peachy shade of Taupe/Delicat duo (

that color!!)
Very Khaki single e/s
Celadon Stylo Yeux waterproof liner
Inimitable mascara

Cheeks:
Rose Temptation JC
MAC By Candlelight MSF

Lips:
Mademoiselle RC
Colibri A/L gloss

Please pay no attention to the zit on my chin

.

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Stunning, Cheryl!

Yes Nora, I did see that one! The one I want is the dark blue with glitter. I want to get the China Glaze halloween set, and the purple glitter one in that set is pretty much exactly like Bad Romance...save myself $15.

Oh man! I was going to do that this weekend and I forgot! Oh well, I was going to get paradoxal and I guess I'll just get it while I'm out shopping...

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

It's so nice to have them all organized, and it only took about three hours. Now I just gotta keep it up!

And, um yeah, go figure they'd release all the Contraste Duos after the free shipping ended.

Thanks for posting those links! I like the formula -- a little more sheer. This spells TROUBLE for me!!

So excited for you and hope everything goes well these next 2 months. I love the feel of a brand new home -- everything is so fresh and clean!!
Good luck with your sugar fast

One of these days I will do the same!!

Cheryl -- love the look you did. That duo looks beautiful on you and I love the lippie, too. I have that Colibri gloss and it does give a gorgeous glassy shine!!

 

[stv578]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cheryl, love the look you did, very pretty! Enabler!!! The khaki duo is gorgeous! And Rose Temptation looks great, I should really give mine a try!

 

[Shadowy Lady]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

OMG I love this look Cheryl! I might need the duos then. I love how these shades make your eyes pop <3

 

[Camnagem]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I agree, love this look on you Cheryl! I especially love the smile in the last pic...it's like "why yes, of course it's Chanel dahhhling".

Love it!
