agggh! For some reason it was not in the display

I LOVE that new foot applicator.

I am wearing Exces & Rose np

The rose np is SO gorgeous on & it may be me, but it feels like the consistency of this np is waaay more silky smooth

That is very pretty! I told the Chanel rep the other day that they need to make ALL of it (Asia exclusives) available at least on the website!

Pink Cloud - will we ever get it

Anything from Strawberrynet?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

No, they just left it at they would try to get it. I think if this Liberte gloss will be perm there's more of a chance of them having that eventually. Just tell yourself Pink Cloud won't show up.

Oh my. Must have Liberte and Pink Clouds......

......

.....

I broke down and placed an order on Chanel.com.....sight unseen

......I think I will love everything. I ordered Confidence, Confidentielle, Exces, Insolence. I also backordered the Les Regards de Chanel eye palette, but I doubt it will come in......

I want to see Genie and Genial when they come in the store -

That looks super pretty! Why does the name look familiar though? I'm wondering if wasn't in the drawer when I peaked inside? Will call and ask!!!

Don't worry about it - I think you'll love everything you ordered. Of course, because of heebie jeebies, I did not try Confidentielle ls on my lips - but everything else I can vouch for

Ahh, I have been wanting Les Regards

Last I checked it wasn't even available for backorder.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

It super windy and cold here today so I broke out my Paradoxal finally! What a gorgeous shade. It really is very opaque and unique. I'm so glad I picked it up and can't wait for my next Chanel polish!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oh nooo, Liberte looks gorgeous! Such a shame it's an Asia exclusive.

stv578: There's a RA l/s called Libertine so maybe that's why it sounds familiar? I think Liberte is meant to match with this RA (like the rest of the RA/Extraits in this set) since Libertine is a sort of shimmery coral-y pink color as well.

After hearing all the chatter here, I'll definitely have to up my Extrait wishlist. Confidence now since it's LE, and Exces and Insolence around the holidays.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hi all -- I'm back

I've been catching up on the posts and reading all of your hauls -- so fun hearing about your new loot!

I think I really need some of the Extrait glosses in my life -- especially Insolence, Imaginaire and Confindence. I saw a swatch of Confidentielle l/s that Elegant talked about, and it is really pretty (although -- is it close to Rose Dentelle??). I can't wait until Chanel.com offers their free shipping again . . . I feel like my purchases are totally justified with free shipping

 

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

No, Confidentielle is a cooler pink, less peachy than Rose dentelle. It's super pretty over Pink sugar liner (in case you need more things to buy!

)

That may be it!

Michelle, so glad you're back!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hey, I just wanted to say that I may have finally figured out that beautiful natural eye. Chanel did it on those models in that link somewhere here with the Taupe duo.

I used the lighter shade of the Taupe duo all over the eye & then the darker shade just above the crease from inner nose to outer eye, some black thin lining

& of course, I wore it with Exces on the lips & MAC Salsa Rose blush

It makes for a quick classic look & I am in love with it

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I LOVE Paradoxal. It's subdued yet edgy in low-light, but in sunlight POW the purple shimmer comes through. It's not over the top frosty/glittery, but instead has a glowing quality. I love that kind of nail polish. Definitely a fall/winter staple for me!

I wanted it so badly a few weeks ago that both my mother and my aunt got it for me for my birthday. Now I've got two Paradoxal n/p's. Think I'm gonna try to sell one of them. As much as I love the colour, I can't justify having two of them. Why not use the money I get from Paradoxal to buy myself the upcoming Khaki Vert? *drool*

My aunt also gifted me with a ton of Chanel goodies, and it's the first time I've tried any of the products. I love them all! Especially the Aqualumiere gloss - it's incredibly shiny, yet not sticky at all. hahah I'm probably very late with all this Chanel love. =p

My swatches are here: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f217/c...ml#post2005898

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I'm really looking forward to Chanel's Les Khakis de Chanel Nail Collection!!!! Ah I can't wait

I don't own any Chanel nail polishes, but I've heard great things about it. I really think this collection will be a great introduction for me =D

Your Aunt got you some fine looking goods there dear!

That blush looks amazing!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Thanks for sharing the beautiful eye look with Taupe. Can't wait to get the duo!

Does Tweed Rose look like anything from the JC line, maybe Rose Petale? When the tweed blushes came out I couldn't decide with to get, so I passed for the time being and haven't pick up any yet. I have the tweed highlighter from last X'mas and I love it!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Definitely their Joues Contraste blushes. I have Rose Dust. It's been my staple blush for years and it takes FOREVER to use up the compact. It definitely makes the cost worth it! Beautiful colors, incredibly smooth application. So well made - I've dropped that compact at least 50 times and no breakage whatsoever! I am absolutely dying for one of the new LE JC blushes - Pink Explosion. Gorgeous!!

The first gloss w/o glitter seems like it'll be gorg on you. You should do a FOTD with that one soon. *nudge*nudge*

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

There's a photo of the Tweed Fuchsia blush in this month's Allure magazine, page 182 in the US edition - it looks like a fuchsia color mixed with a lot of gold in the usual 'tweed' pattern......I can't find a picture of the magazine article at the moment -

I think my Chanel holiday haul will be 'sort of' small:

Tentation Cuivre quad
Charming glossimer
Pink Pulsion glossimer

That is, of course, unless I am influenced otherwise!

EDIT: There's also a picture (in Allure) of the quad

!!! It's gorgeous. And the Tweed blush looks like a mixture of fuchsia and a soft pink, with gold flecks.
