I do love the Inimitable Mascara for what it does to my lashes, but it does smudge a bit. Not as bad as some others, but still. Hourglass Film Noir doesn't smudge on me and costs about the same as the Chanel. I might switch to that one after all my samples run out.

I totally agree. It definitely helps my confidence and makes my day a little brighter. It's nice to have a couple of things you want in addition to the things you simply need.

EDIT: As for $30 mascaras, I really like Armani's Eyes to Kill (if Chanel Inimitable doesn't work out for you)!

Do not show me nice pictures of the Pink Pulsion gloss, the collection will not be available in Europe, again.
How pigmented is it?

Its fairly medium to sheer coverage. Medium Pigmentation. Looks much more pigmented in the tube than on. Beautiful

Afaik there never was a Holiday collection for Europe, it always was US/CDN only

It looks to me Chanel needs to get their priorities straight when it comes to Europe as a market. Please ask your counter about it, maybe if more people mention it they might change.

Well I asked like 8 days ago or so about it via Chanel's website. They told me that there was no info yet about when the holiday collection was going to be released, but I was not told it won't be launched at all! I guess, maybe, that if it wouldn't be released they've told me, right? (like they told me that the sets are not coming).

I didn't get the Beiges de Chanel quad for holiday too. It was replaced by Spices. So sometimes, we don't get the complete holiday collection.

 

[purrtykitty]

Free shipping code 0910GLOSS good through November 1st.

I keep my fingers crossed that you will get it

Help! I'm trying out my Reflets D'Ombre quad I got in a swap today and for some reason I'm totally lost on what blush and lip colour to do with it. They are such strong colours. Hmmmm??? Any ideas? THanks!

Edit: I went with Nude JC and Patchouli RC. Another great quad. Euro version and it's still love (I was worried).

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Great choice. I think going with any gold tone glosses is beautiful!

Ya I realized I'm severely lacking in that colour area...that's all I need is to figure out I need more stuff

 

[Bonitinha]

I went to go order Confidence extrait de gloss with the free shipping code Karin gave us (yay!) -- but it is still out of stock

I think my husband is getting me the new holiday quad and the glossimer/liner kit for Christmas (aaah, can I wait that long??). But I am now feeling the need to buy the Mystic Eyes quad. I wish I could get my hands on the Liberte extrait de gloss -- did someone say that one of the counters would be getting it in the US??

I think someone mentioned it was a Saks exclusive? Oops sorry that's liberte. I did order Confidential EDG from NM for my friend. Not sure if it's still in stock or not

I hate to be an enabler

but Mystic Eyes really is amazing. I love mine and wear it at least once a week.

Hm, I thought Liberté was Asia-exclusive?!

I am super tempted to get it. After my last order, I shouldn't, but I probably will

I think I heard, too, that just one of the counters in the US was getting it. But I don't live near a Sak's anyways -- so even if they did, I still couldn't get my hands on it

Too bad, because it is such a gorgeous color!

Well it is but it was also at a certain counter. Someone posted about it on here and on MUA. I'm sure it's on here somewhere??
