Miss QQ, thank you for those swatches...especially of the combination chart! I am liking Khaki Brun more now these days, but I must resist the urge! I already have Steel from SOHO and spending $75 in one month (not counting shipping charges) on three nail polishes is extreme to me! I am planning on getting Khaki Vert though...I

it!

How are you doing? I've been thinking of you!

Hope you are hanging in there

Elegant-one...when do you think the khaki nps will be up on the site? Im surprised they aren't up already

!! I have telephone #'s of a couple Chanel boutiques I can call and dept stores that carry Chanel. AHH!! Do you think Nordstrom would have the polises? I don't really want to order from a boutique and pay $10 shipping on one item!

I know, what a dilemma with the shipping

Who knows for sure, but you would think they would list them today. I am calling a couple chanel ladies to see if they have them. I really am not sure who is getting them

If I find anything out, I will post it.

Hi Michelle - I am hanging in there - each day gets a bit easier - I miss him terribly and have constant reminders, which isn't easy, but I have my pictures and certainly have him in my heart. Thank you for your thoughts....

Anything you can find out will help this newbie out!! I don't even know where to start looking for khaki rose except online. I've been stalking it since yesterday!! This will be my third chanel purchase, the last one was an orange lip gloss more than 8 years ago!!

Newbie here hello!

I'm resisting the urge to buy all three, they are all gorgeus but I've yet to find a swatch on darker(NC45) skin, so I'm a little gun shy to spend $75 dollars unseen

D

 

[Miss QQ]

Cheryl.

This is my Songes. I have been meaning to show my quad here. Winthrop, this is really different from Sabrina's.

The top left is the beige that doesn't show up on me. The top right is a silvery pink that is gritty but I don't get fallouts. At the bottom left is a pale, white pink with gold shimmers. The bottom right is a black with dark, maroon shimmers, like Strong np, but the camera doesn't capture the maroon shimmers well.

November!? I agree, I don't think I can wait that long either. Wonder about Nordies or Neiman Marcus?

 

[Winthrop44]

Here are swatches of various Chanel lipsticks in comparison to Stunning - swatches are on white paper and pic was taken outside. I unfortunately don't have Legende, Miss QQ, so couldn't include that one - I'm pretty sure Cheryl does tho - but I can tell you Stunning is nothing like Legende because I did try it on from the sample card. Stunning is a pink beige in the family of RA Naive, Insouciante and Mythic. It's sort of a cross between Naive and Mythic.

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks! It looks really close to Insouciante.

I just remember, today the MA recommended Imaginaire extrait de gloss. She applied it over Confidentielle and it is very pretty! Does Fatale turn brown on you? I want Emoi next for sure.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ It does in that pic, but Insouciante is definitely darker and browner. Stunning is lighter and pinker. Fatale has no brown on me at all, really, it's more of a blue-based red.

 

[purrtykitty]

Saks is doing a beauty event soon, I believe. They may be holding the polishes until then. Or, the department stores aren't getting the polishes until November, which is entirely likely. Chanel gets the first release, then the Chanel distributors get the second.

The Soho stuff went up on Friday morning around 10 a.m. Central time, but wasn't available for purchase until around 3:00 p.m. Central.

 

[elegant-one]

Macy's isn't getting them (well at least thats what this one told me)
Nordies does not have them - yet. No Chanel lady available

who knows about online though. But, if saks is getting them I would imagine NM would also. dang I wish NM had them online so I didn't have to go through Chanel

Is Emoi a rasberry shade?

I don't think I can take a chance and think the dept stores will get the khaki colors, say in October or November. What if Oct/November rolls around and the dept stores don't have them?! I would be crushed if I waited and that happened!

Did you get Confidence extrait de gloss over there? That looks really pretty over Confidentielle as well.

I'm so glad to see you here Cheryl! I've been thinking of you and your family. I hope things are getting a bit easier.

What a powerful mosquito! I don't have Dunes but I got Reflets D'Ombre two months ago after Rachel's rave. It is beautiful and I get compliments twice when I wore it!

OMG, crazy mosquitos! The one on my collar bone is driving me nuts!!! I put some cream on it and covered it with a band-aid so I won't scratch it and my hubby said it looks like I'm trying to cover-up a poorly aimed hickey!

I think I might be leaning towards the Reflets D'Ombre quad, but I'm still totally clueless. I'll have to venture out when my "hickey" goes away and check them out in person.

Thanks for the welcome!!!

The only way I could possibly remember the name is if I saw a list of the products available in early 2002. I bought the lip gloss, a nail polish and a blush. It was my college graduation present to myself! There is no way I could wait until NOVEMBER!! Are they trying to kill us??? Back to refreshing the Chanel website
