I'll check next time I'm there. I may want it too!

ETA: On the Canadian website, it doesn't show up as LE, and they do generally indicate the LE products, so... I guess I/we have another lemming?!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Nail polish haul this weekend!

I finally got Nouvelle Vague and Paradoxal and also Rouge Noir. Hello fall!

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Enjoy! I love NV and Paradoxal, but I haven't worn the latter yet. My nails are dry and peeling at the tips at the moment so I'll let them rest for a week.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I found out today that the new glosses are going to ship September 6 (for Macy's, anyway - with any luck Nordies or Saks will get them ahead of time) and the girl at my counter anticipates getting them by the end of September or early October

.......

Don't forget that there are also new Rouge Allures coming out with these - there are several that look gorgeous, and I cannot wait to see them!!

She said that the holiday quad is amazing......it looks very pretty, and very 'standard' Chanel in that it's mostly a smokey-eye look

- brown-based neutrals with a peach highlighter.

I have 4 of the glosses on my list:
Imaginaire
Insouciance
Insolence
Exces

3 RAs:
Insolente
Confidentielle
Emotive


I don't know if I'm going to be too hepped up about the Tweed blush, but we'll see. And I'll think about the quad, but not sure if it's unique enough until I see it in person....

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cannot wait to see all of those Extrait glosses -- so gorgeous!

My husband left yesterday to go see his Stepdad -- he called and said he passed this morning. I'm so glad he was able to see him before he passed. He had a long battle with cancer, severe diabetes, and kidney failure -- so it was his time to go. Still very sad and we'll miss him. I think we'll be leaving tomorrow or so, so I won't be around much.

You ladies take care and I'll catch up later!

Oh, Michelle, I'm so sorry for you and your husband's loss, but it sounds like he is better off now......my best to your family!!

Imagine that - my list matches yours

I pretty sure I want that quad - it looks yummy. And, unless that tweed blush is da bomb, I'm passing on it.

So sorry dear!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Very sorry for your family's loss, Michelle.

For the holiday, if the quad is awesome as that MA is making it out to be, I might get it. Probably not the tweed blush, though. I think I'll get one of the JC's on my wishlist instead.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Question 1: Is Plum Attract JC a perm or LE item?

Question 2: Enigma and both single shadows from fall are perm right?

When I was at my Chanel counter they MUA said Particulaire was LE. She was describing the chaos of the waiting list they'd had, so I'm thinking that's a negative on the polish

Mink Muffs for me!

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Plum Attraction is LE. Enigma is for sure perm, and it appears that the singles are, too.

Particuliere was initially LE, but I think it's perm, now. There's still loads of Particulieres at my two counters.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in a long time, but I've been lurking and reading every post! I've basically been waiting for the fall collection to come to Western Canada and it has taken FOREVER, but we finally got everything at my local Bay this past Thursday. Seems Eastern Canada got the collection before us. We had our testers when Eastern Canada got the collection, but not anything available to purchase. I ended up pretty much sticking with my wish list. I got Paradoxal, Pink Explosion, Taupe Grise, and Cassis. I wasn't planning on the Cassis, but I got talked into it at the counter. It's a nice alternative to black eyeliner, which is what I usually wear. I am still kind of lemming Vert Khaki, but I think it might be better suited to brown eyes (I have blue eyes). I also am still thinking about Enigma and Chintz, but I believe both are perm, so I am not too panicked about it. I guess Canada did not get the coral-y colour (Chalys?).

We also don't have the new eyeshadow duos yet. I think the main one on my list will be the Taupe one.

I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss!!! The colours I will get for sure are Insouciance and Insolence. Imaginaire and Confidence also looking lovely, but I think I am liking the first two I listed more. I am also interested in Exces. I never wear reds, but this seems very wearable.

I don't think these have been posted:
http://www.vogue.ru/upload/iblock/738/khaki.jpg

Seems like they might be Europe exclusive. I REALLY hope not because the Khaki Rose and Khaki Vert look amazing and I really want them.

I finally added a toner to my Chanel skincare routine. I am using the balancing one, which is the pink one. I was interested in the green purifying one that Elegant uses, but was told my a couple different girls at the counter that the pink one would be best for me. I am liking it so far, but wish I had those amazing luxurious cotton pads to use with it!

On another note, does anyone use the Chanel pressed powder? I think it is called Poudre Universalle. I currently use MAC Blot powder. I want something like MAC Blot - very transulent...just evens out the skin tone slightly and mattifies. How does Chanel compare?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

OMG, those polishes look amazing! I totes need them!

All three look amazing!! When will they be released?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

So sorry for your loss, Michelle

Thanks for the sneak peak for the new nail polishes, seems they are coming in October 2010 in Russia.

And I am trying so hard not to go back and get more Extrait de Gloss glosses...

PA is LE. Enigma and the 2 e/s singles are perm. Particuliere is perm too.

Enjoy your new goodies! We didn't get Chalys too.

Those n/p look very pretty! Too bad they are Europe exclusive.

I have the Chanel pressed powder but not the mac. It was good, but now I'm using the loose.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Last week I bought Paradoxal and Vert Khaki, both of them are lovely.

I want to try some Coco Rouge next and maybe the skin care....it is really a pity that money doesn't grow on trees....

Congrats on your purchases!! Based on those of us here with those same items, I think you will love them!!

The Rouge Cocos are very nice indeed

and I'm a convert to the skincare......

Yes, it is a pity money doesn't grow on trees....

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hmmm, is there a place with all the Extrait glosses swatched? Google images isn't being too kind right now.

Can you imagine how pissed off people are going to be that Particuliere is perm if they bought it on EBAY?

...still debating Paradoxal and plum attraction over here...

There are several previous posts with links to swatches currently available - just a couple of pages back -
