So is Fatale more of a deeper cherry red & Exces a lil more light orangish red? Thats how the swatches seem to be.

Aww, I like that!

I swung by one of the Chanel counters today (didn't buy anything, tho) and I saw several Vamp Le Vernis' sitting in the display. I didn't ask, but think it might be back for good!

Almus, sorry to hear about the lack of new collections there - I hope you are able to find what you want at the larger mall.......

Darling C!

Konan is limping around to get his steak cubes

so he is evidently much better but is putting on his K show

for more ISaCubes and SteakyCubes..lol. Funny but your Riley looks almost like the Konan.. except Konan has a white muzzle cause he is getting on in years. The little one is now on antibiotics because he got something in his huge eyes and it got infected.. did I not say that when it rains it pours? grrr.. I do feel like I am losing it sometimes.

But we plod on.. making plans and getting things in order

I might have some news by next week

bigggest hugs

ISa

Just talked with Chanel NY - NOPE - they can't get us the Pink Cloud

She said maybe they could be purchased at an airport

I think I've missed some part of the conversation but, is Pink Cloud discontinued? Was it from a collection? (remember I am a newbie

). Maybe I could ask at my Chanel counter to check if they still have it, since we use to have a lot of "sold out" products around for a while.

Oops, so sorry dear! Its an Asia exclusive blush - however, I am not sure where all it was sold - just not the USA

And a few of us would like to get our hands on it

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I wish some of the "exclusives" would make their way over here. Even if they're as an LE in some random collection.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^The lady at NY Chanel agreed with that!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Briefly back....Michelle, I am thinking of you and your family this week!

Boo on the Pink Clouds!! Thank you for checking for us.....and I too love the pink clouds vs dark clouds!!

(P.S. especially ISa!!

).

Maybe it will roll around again like the Boutons de Chanel did - it was available in Europe and then made its way to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale....but I won't hold my breath. I should find out if anyone from my team will be going to Asia in the next couple of months - perhaps they wouldn't mind picking up a couple. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

ISa - the ISacubes are now a frequent treat, hand-fed of course. VERY spoiled dogs indeed!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Cheryl, if you have someone heading to Asia, could you have them swing through Russia on the way home? I need me those Le Vernis'!

Yes, Fatale is a deeper cherry red, but I do not think Éxes is orange. To me it looks like a real, medium red.
I have some swatches of it in the swatch thread.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I just bought another eyeliner. I couldn't help myself. I got one of the new ones that came out with the new Inimitable mascara. I also got another inimitable, but the old one. So, so happy. I had been using L'Oreal voluminous which was good, but putting Chanel on my lashes again made me appreciate it even more!

Anyway, the liner I bought is the Grey one (they call it Gris, I believe). It's #35 and I love it. Grey is one of my favorite colors. Can't wait to rock it. I really love the promo image for that collection. I'm thinking I'll buy a shadow duo. I have yet to buy a Chanel shadow.

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I love, love the regular Inimitable, and really want to try the new one. More volume, length, and curl? Yes, please!

 

[shontay07108]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Yeah, I'm going to end up getting the new one, as well. I also think I need to buy another Pink Teaser glossimer b/c I can't find it anywhere! It's my favorite one.

Cool - thanks, I will go look!

Oh, great - now I like the raspberry one too - Emoi.

I think I will get Fatale

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

ok peeps...I am so determined to get us Pink Cloud

So, I do have this slight business connection in Thailand. I emailed to see if they knew anything about Chanel, gave them the name of the blush. I got an email back just a bit ago saying that she goes to the mall all the time & is going to check to see if she can get it.

She told me how she thought it was funny how there, everyone uses these whitening creams etc. on their skin & in the states everyone is into tanning their skin

I will let you know what she finds out. She is so darn reputable, sweet & smart - fyi

I don't think I could stay away from this thread completely! Besides, I have enough now in my collection that I can contribute to the thread some of the time, i hope anyway!

And I find Enigma does the same thing for me too! And ditto with Kaska Beige, so I'm telling ya, we must have extremely similar toned skin!!!

Woo hoo! I'll make sure to stock up on the spirits!

I just told my husband we're going to have visitors from the U.S. in the new house, he looked quite confused!
