There are two different drivers, so depending on the day of the week, they come at different times. Today I think is a later delivery time, unfortunately. But my glossimer is supposed to be here tomorrow, and that is a mid-afternoon delivery time. Man, I wish I had a 10 a.m. delivery time!

Of course, delivery times change when the either of the two regulars is on vacation.

wow, I'm actually kinda glad us Canadians can't order online. It seems a little stressful

. I really don't like stressful makeup, lol!

I saw those at my Nars counter last week and looooved the texture. I was actually gonna get Bangkok and one of the reds (the deep one) but held back as I'd just bought Rouge Noir. The new nars lippies are awesome, they're like MAC Mattene (which were my fave MAC lipstick products) but better.

I'm gonna pick up a couple of them this weekend.

I finally ordered the Enigma quad and can't wait to play with it ASAP! Do you think it is bad to show up to my daughter's preschool with a full on smokey eye?? lol I went ahead and got the Waterlilly glossimer, too, since I've had my eye on it forever and it has been sold out everywhere else besides Chanel.com I can't wait to see all of your Soho swatches! But it might just make me regret not getting that quad. Luckily there are tons of Chanel products I can get to take my mind off of it!

I looooove that bag

. Enjoy your Enigma quad, it's the best

Shadowy, if you like matte lipsticks, supposedly Lancome has a new formula that is non drying, Karlasugar and Temptalia both reviewed them and apparently really liked them.

I love mattes that are not so drying, kinda like MAC's Mattenes and Nars new matte lippies. I gotta check out the new Lancome soon, more lipsticks for me to buy, lol

That little bag is so cute! I hope you enjoy your quad and glossimer

And I have to agree with elegant about the smokey eyes, I bet you can make it work for a soft every day look with that amazing quad!

I haven't worn matte lippies in ages. I need to give them a go! I always seem to dab a little gloss on top, which defeats the purpose LOL

My polishes are here!! Substitute UPS guy brought them earlier than I was expecting! I'm in the process of uploading the pictures to my blog, and then I'll cross-post them later in the swatch thread. I apologize for the less that stellar quality. The weather is overcast here.

I will be doing comparison swatches with these polishes, so I'll get better pictures in a few days.

 

[purrtykitty]

OK, pictures are up on my blog!! I'll cross-post later today or tomorrow. Now I gotta go make salsa and guacamole for dinner...fish tacos!

I just went to your blog to see the swatch pics of Steel and Strong. Thanks for posting these! As you said, both colors are gorgeous! I'm so happy the one np I picked from this collection was Steel

They are soooo great colours!

Thanks so much for the review!

Haha, it's funny, reading about guacamole made me feel hungry. I am gonna attack the fridge

Yep, you're right. I did a daytime smokey eye and love it! The colors are great and it looks like I put more effort into it than I actually did. Can't wait for the next free shipping code . . .

I'd really like to see swatches of the lip stick and glossimer even though I don't need them either!

Bonitinha ~ I rec'd the pouches instead of boxes too! I was really hoping for boxes.

 

[TealAngel]

AHH!!

When does everyone think the khaki nps will be up on the site? Today? Tomorrow? or can I really wait this long as suspense is killing me, Friday!? I know some blogs said today as an online release, but so far that hasn't happened...I should know that, Ive been checking the Chanel's site frequently. I really don't want to miss out on Khaki Vert!

 

[purrtykitty]

Great swatches, Connie! Too bad Stupendous is out of stock.

(Can you resize your pictures, please, or make them links...they're kinda large!

)

 

[TealAngel]

Temptalia has polish swatches of the khaki nps!

Chanel Les Khakis de Chanel Le Vernis (Nail Lacquer) Review, Photos, Swatches

She makes Khaki Brun look awesome, in my opinion. The best swatch Ive seen of that shade so far. Must resist though! I want a brown, not so sure that shade of brown.

Khaki Vert it is

Oh, and she noted that they won't be available online unitl the 10th (Friday)...I don't know...

 

[Bonitinha]

ctee80 -- great swatches! I love that greenish silver color from the quad!

 

[purrtykitty]

Well, if Les Khakis isn't already up, it probably won't be tonight. Hopefully tomorrow!

Lancome's are lovely too -- but I did like the colour of NARS a bit more... Lancome is kinda sorta the same ol same ol..

and, Lancome was selling them online only @ Lancome.com

 

[elegant-one]

Yeah but if the polishes go up now, I don't want to pay $8 shipping

They really need to do the free ship just for being a pain in de butt

I am SO digging the look of Steel - it's exactly what I was hoping for
