I know, I cannot stand it either - why am I gonna punish myself. Its like buying a gorgeous pair of shoes that you know are going to hurt your feet after 15 minutes

I think they will be gorgeous together.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I find the RA scent too strong too. Initially I cannot stand it but now I'm ok. Hopefully I like Genial! Can't watch to see swatches.

I find the RA scent worse than the RC one but I can tolerate it.

Probably not - although the gold & black eyeliner shadow palette is quite tempting. I think I could probably dupe the gold & black tip nails with a bit cheaper polish.

Are you getting anything?

Hehe, true! I started buying Chanel polishes when they were $18, about 10 years ago. The price has inflated $5 since then! So crazy.

^ yeah, just what I need - another addiction

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Well, I just caved and got Illusion D'Or, Black Velvet, and Bikini Peach. Chanel is a guilty pleasure, 'cause it's so expensive!

If not there is no doubt that you will be able to sell it on. I really want NV, bikini peach glossimer and the bronzer but the collection isn't out until May here. This collection is really summery and beachy.

I have to know what you think of Bikini Peach! I may get to see it this weekend. I couldn't decide on whether or not it would show up well on my lips.

Will you do the gold nail with the black tip? I love that look - so cool

ahhh, I may cave too

I will report back! *salutes*

I doubt I'll do the gold nail/black tip. I didn't order the Gold Lame polish. I think the black would look hot with Kaleidescope, though!
