Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I finally broke down and bought the Enigma quad, I dare say it's love.

On the other hand FF came out today and I like 3 of the new eyeliners (Gold,Olive,Navy) + the Old Gold Piggy. Should I buy them...I legit have negative dollars.

Enjoy the glosses! I'm waiting for them to launch!

I have brought my mini sample of Legende out with me today!

It is very pigmented.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

So I was a little disappointed with MAC yesterday so I went to the Chanel counters afterwards and I purchased that Enigma quad. Yay! I was actually going over there to see Paradoxal in person, but I like the quad better!!! Yay again!!!! Now, let's see if these shadows will look good on me. Cheeeese!!!!

I have been looking for the same color! There was a l/s from the FF collection called Aristo-cat that looked gorgeous, until I realized it was a frost (I can't pull those off). So I have been looking for a great plummy pink too. Let me know if you find the perfect shade

I am not as impressed with the FF collection as I thought I would be -- so more money for Chanel!

I have been crazy busy with back to school stuff for the kids and their activities starting again . . . I have become a taxi once again lol

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

ITA, MAC has just been phoning it in, lately. I guess that's a good thing (for my wallet) because at least I'm not spending loads of cash on the must-haves from BOTH MAC and Chanel.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I'm late, but this Enigma quad is hot. I applied everything effortlessly. I think I picked up my 224 two times...one eye each. I love the shimmer in it. Lovely evening palette although I worked it out for daytime as I am wearing it now at work. Pure love. I want another palette.

Shhhh don't tell anybody...

I feel like I should take back all the MAC ish I bought from FF and get another Chanel quad and Paradoxal. *hiding under her desk*

I just ordered Fatale

Dang!

I just spent a MINT at Chanel.com too! Ah well, I can't really be so sad... shipping wasn't that expensive. Still, it would have been nice to save a few $$.

I saw that pixiwoos tutorial... GORGEOUS!

Which is how I ended up Enigma palette and almost that blush as well.

I need Enigma in my life! I keep buying glossimers and lipsticks, but I need some quads!

I know, I don't like that $10 shipping charge at Chanel.com. I really think high end companies should offer complimentary shipping!

Ah crap! You do get free ship at $150 any time. Shopping at Chanel adds up pretty darn fast. I make sure that I never ever pay shipping no matter where I shop

Enigma is perfection!

No desk hiding, not when you're looking smokin with that quad on!

More and more of my "MAC budget" is spent on Chanel now, and it's just a constant love train for me. Don't be ashamed, be proud! All of us here in this thread can totally relate.

Yes! You need Enigma! Besides being an awesome quad...I think it'll look stunning on you!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

If you love the Enigma quad, you will love (need) Cassis to go with it!

I paired up Cassis with some of the new FF MAC & its one of the best liner colors.

 

[purrtykitty]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I still haven't gotten the Enigma quad! There are just so many other things I want to get my hands on...like those LE polishes!

I think I need to weed through my MAC stash and see if there's more stuff I can sell to support my new Chanel habit.

Meh, I'd wait it out. Yet still return the FF stuff. Neither the quad or polish are LE so get other Chanel products instead! Plum Attraction JC was amazing on NC45. Plus the LE Khaki polishes are coming up!

Also glad to see that I wasn't the only one Pixiwoo's vid motivated. I never try to copy they're looks or use their techniques I just like to watch them work. But I came home and froze every frame trying to emulate it. Twas a fail.

Same here! I am so proud of myself. I actually went to my MAC counter and left empty handed and had stuff in my online cart twice and emptied it both times. I am officially FF-less and over it! In the meantime I got Rivoli and Rouge Noir Rouge Cocos and Fatale and Exces Extrait de glosses! Love them all.

Can u PLEASE PLEASE swatch Rouge Noir for me? I'm dying to see a swatch and no one seems to have it

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Absolutely.

I will try to do it early next week.

In the meantime, Karla has a swatch:

Cafe Makeup has some pics too:

Chanel Rouge Coco Review and Swatches – Rouge Noir Café Makeup

Chanel Vamp – The Battle of the Two Rouge Noir Lipsticks Café Makeup

It's gorgeous! I think you might have said you don't see the brown in it? I don't either. I love all of the shades I got but I think Insolence is still my fave.

I agree, I absolutely love Insolence. It just may be my fave gloss of all time. Yeah, there's no brown in Fatale

Mine just shipped.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^Rivoli looks beautiful! I will have to check that one out for sure. I am going to get Ballet Russe eventually.
