Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I keep going to various counters like a fiend looking for Excessive Rouge Allure lipstick. I fail every time. I will have to order it. I want that lippie so bad. I also want to buy the new Inimitable after this next Mac collection.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Ok,I'm extremely shy but I've been reading this thread probably since it first got started and I think it's about time I say hello and thanks for contributing to my INSANE Chanel addiction,

. I've always loved the glossimers but now my collection has grown to quads,blushes, polishes, brushes and skincare!!

Right now I'm trying to decide on a nice red (I'm NC50ish). I just brought MAC Red, which I do like but of course I need a red Chanel. What do you all suggest between Exces, Fatale and Dragon?

Hi

. We are around the same complexion and I think Excessive will be amazing on you. Also, you should look into a shade called Cambon. I think it's a permanent one. It's gorgeous as well.

How exciting that you're here! Chat away any time

I was just thinking of getting MAC Red & I'm also on the hunt for that perfect Chanel Red lippie too. I forgot to swatch the new red lipsticks that just came out

when I had a chance to see them, but I think there were 2 new ones.

Exces is the strawberry jam color, Fatale is a slightly deeper true red & I just bought Dragon a month ago & its a very deep gorgeous red.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Shontay - is Excessive one of the new red lipsticks that just came out?

I should own it simply because of the name

Of course, you'd have all the answers, Elegant

. I'm not an expert on Chanel anything (even though I love the brand). I know more about glossimers and the mascara.

You know a lot about makeup period! I don't know much about the glossimers...I don't have that many.

Yup, that's one of them. There's a swatch on Temptalia that I keep an open window on. It's to die for! I also love Karla's swatch of it. It has to be mine and yeah, you gotta love the name

.

I started buying up glossimers before I became a lipstick gal. With the exception of Pink Teaser, I haven't bought any recently. That's because the handful I have are like HG glosses. Easily the best I own.

It's breaking my heart that I lost Pink Teaser somewhere. I have to buy it again before it disappears.

So is Excessive the deeper red of the two, or what is the other new red like? I should search those swatches out. Thanks!

It's the deeper one. Emotive is the lighter, sorta pinky red. Excessive is a nice, juicy, bite my lips red.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Shontay - You lost PT

I hope it turns up somewhere! I lost a lipstick last week too. I have searched to the point of insanity

who knows where they go

Ok - I will get Excessive <------now theres a line for ya

 

[shontay07108]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Yay! All aboard for Excessive.

Let's shed a tear for out lost products

. I don't know where it could be. I lost it weeks ago. I just decided one day "today is a PT day", but I couldn't find it and I turned my room upside down. I might have left it in a handbag that I tossed into my shoe closet after I got off work. It's probably laying in a boot or something

. I'm just going to buy another to be on the safe side. If anything, I will have two of those beauties.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Thanks ladies for the welcome and suggestions. I will check those out next time I visit counter. I go so much that I begin to get embarrassed and just opt to order online. But oh well, I've got to find my red!!

shontay how do you feel about the SOHO collection for our complexion? I'm on the fence about getting caught up in the hype then finding the colors aren't WOC friendly.

I'm not digging it, honestly. The powder looks interesting, though. That might be able to work on our skin since it has deeper shades. I don't how pigmented your lips are, but mine are very pigmented and I think the lippies are a total skip. The collection is a nice idea, but I think Chanel has better permanent items.

They usually just roll out of sight. I try to keep them in the same places & only in 1 purse pocket so that doesn't happen but

I tell myself I need to be more organized, but that all gets shot to hell once I get moving.

That's exactly how I felt. Like I wouldn't be missing anything if I skipped it. I like the powder but I think it's the SOHO imprint that I like. I want it to be worth $65 (I think that's the price)

I just checked out temptalia's swatches of the colors suggested by you and elegant and oh my

!!! I don't know which to choose first.

Hey dear, I should be getting the face powder & eyeshadow quad in a couple days, so I'll post pics right away for you to see. And of course, I will comment...of course
