Gotta love that!

jeepers, they hardly ever get anything straight

I'm the same way. Can't recall the name of the one I use atm, it's in a green tube and it's by Maybelline, but it does wonders for my lashes! I could see splurging on mascara if I didn't feel the need to by so many products on such a regular basis.

Oh man, I believe Enigma cost me....$68? Yeah I think that's right. I try not to listen to the prices of things. I just hand over my debit card. Not the wisest but it prevents buyers remorse.

Great that we have Chanel subforums now! Now I'm suddenly at at loss as what to say here.

Winthrop, so RC looks "grandma-ish" on both fingers and toes? I agree with karin, maybe you can layer it with something else. I'm going to skip it then, especially since I have Khaki Rose.

Good to save some money for future Chanel purchases.

 

[Winthrop44]

I would still swatch it on yourself Miss QQ. I have never been much for mid-tone colors on my nails anyway...I either like really light colors or really dark. Karin's idea is a good one.

For now I'm feeling lazy so I'm just gonna leave it on my toes and see if it grows on me.

 

[mrslid]

Well I've tried all 4 of my new RC's and love them all except for Sycamore.

I think it mya be a dud. It just doesn't seem to go on even. Maybe it would work with a lipliner but I don't wear, nor own lip liners. I do like the colour but it just doesn't look even. Oh well I guess 7 out of 8 is pretty darn good!

 

[stv578]

Winthrop, I'm with you with the mid-tone nail colours. I usually go lighter or darker on the tips and avoid mid-tone shades or really bright colours (save those for the toes!). I saw RC and knew I wouldn't like it on for the reasons you mentioned!

The goal of this subforum is to make it easier to find information on products and collections without having to review dozens of pages in this single monster thread, so please try to keep specific product and collection discussion in separate threads to facilitate this process.

This thread is staying open as a general chat thread because I know many members here enjoy it, but I do ask that you consider the above when posting product info.

Thanks everyone.

This thread isn't going away. And I thought everyone wanted a Chanel forum? That's why I pitched it to the site staff.

 

[purrtykitty]

We do! It's just going to take some getting used to, that's all.

Ultimately, I think the Chanel forum will cut down on the repeat questions because it will be easier to find information.

I try not to care for those things!!

I still remember my mom's face in the late '90s when I made my first purple mani... the same one she had when she saw me with my Black Satin mani and pedi.

She made me remove it the two times!!

She's always been a pink/red mani kinda gal

I've always think that's the art of Chanel, they take the most edgy colors and make them good and classy!!

Hopefully me!!!

I've been thinking a lot about this... What I loved them most of this thread was having fun, sharing love and chatting with you gals!!

So I woke up today thinking to keep it this way... let's keep having fun, love and chatting, sharing our purchases and fun with Chanel products and then keep the specific questions, concerns, findings, answears, etc, in the specific threads.

Let's make this subforum the most rocking from Specktra!!

I call the master bathroom! *jumps into the bathtub*

It's cool...I can just bring my laptop in here and chat away and buy whatever I want! Now I'll just have to install a mini kitchen and a wet bar and I'm set. Oooooh, and maybe a massage table and some dude named Hans. That will totally all fit, right?

I like the sub forum. It'll be GREAT when we get info on new collections! It makes it so much easier to keep track of collection related things/news, but we can still chat away here like normal and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Megan, you always make me laugh!!

 

[shimmergrass]

i am saving up money to buy some chanel, but this MAC VV's hype is sucking me in, and its not like i really like anything, few months down the road, i wont even care about what I bought in the hype and will be sad that I didnt buy what I actually wanted... makes sense?

so you guys find yourselves in such situations?

I still like the MAC colors, I just don't buy as much. I am really liking the blushes/BP in the VV collection. And, I still use my MAC a lot, but Chanel will always be the cream of the crop.

Its like having tennis shoes, sandals & high heeled pumps - I wear them all
