thanks miss QQ! feel so shy here

it is so hard to keep up with what actually is going to make it here

 

[User38]

nzsally.. we will somehow get you more hooked on Chanel

and don't be shy.. ask anything cause we are all learning a lot about different brands and especially Chanel !

 

[Miss QQ]

Yup sally! Everyone is very friendly here!

 

[Shypo]

Yes, Sally - we're just a bunch of crazies over here - jump right in!

HI! I LOVE the nail polishes, even if they don't last so much on my nails! Also, the Teint Innocence liquid foundation is great: good coverage and long lasting ( on my skin), good result

 

[Shypo]

^^ I have the Teint Innocence cream foundation, which I haven't even opened yet (trying to finish some others first) - I hope I like it. But everyone raves about the Chanel foundations, so I'm sure there will be one that suits me. I have samples of the VL Aqua, and the Pro Lumiere to try as well.

What is the website that has the discounted Chanel testers, etc? I know a few of you have purchased from this site with good results.

 

[Winthrop44]

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I know some people here have bought from this site. I don't think they have discounted products, but they do have discontinued ones. Not sure if they're testers either. I don't know very much, do I?

That's the one. Thanks so much!

I just got ProLumiere and love it so far. Also got the powder. I am very impressed. I really want to try a few of their other products. Any recommendations?

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ My favorite Chanel products are the JC blushes (Espiegle, Rose Petale), the Glossimers (I have too many to write!), the Rouge Allure lipsticks, the e/s quads . . . I could go on and on

Hi melliquor! Welcome! As Bonitinha said, the JCs and glossimers are huge hits with us - I'm also a big fan of the quads - Enigma is usually a good one to get started with....but there are so many great ones! The duos are also popular, especially Taupe/Delicat - which is just perfect!

Just want to say that I bought a Chanel liner the other day in Clair. I've always wanted a liner that would help open my eye a little on the waterline without looking crazy. I've finally found it. It's subtle, but it does help.

I've been contemplating that pencil ever since Winthrop said she bought it & liked it too. I've never had much luck with those lighter liners - makes me look weird

I'm glad that it works for you.

 

[Winthrop44]

I love it Shontay. Great choice! It's much more subtle than the MAC chromographics.

 

[Almus]

I agrre with both Shontay and Winthrop, Clair is a beautiful shade and a super multitask pencil. I either use it to brighten up my eyes, for a touch of light in the inner corner or to soften a bit around my lips. Love it!

 

[melliquor]

Thanks. I will have to try those. I ended up returning vital lumiere because I found it too sheer. I have rosy cheeks and I want my foundation to tone them down but I found VL just made the redder. VL is good for people who have even skintone already. I ended up getting MUFE HD.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Could have been all the alcohol in it that made your cheeks redder...anything with alcohol does that to mine, and there are many foundations out there these days where alchohol is way up there on the ingredient list.

 

[mac_aiken]

I am thinking about adding to my e/s singles collection. Right now the only one I have is Amethyst.
I thought about Magic Night. Opinions?

 

[Almus]

Magic Night is very very beautiful. I normally use it over a reddish base (cream e/s generally) to enhance the color and depth. Anyway, on it's own it's very pretty paired with browns, taupes, camel or pinkish.
