Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I remember people being excited about getting Tea Rose here when it was overseas but I can't remember exactly when or even if it came. The more I think about it the more I think I might have gotten the Euro version off strawberrynet because I got impatient. They still have it if you want that:

CHANEL - Cosmetics & Make Up - StrawberryNET.com (USA)

Honestly I like Rose petale better tho! And a gorgeous HTF one if you ever come across it is Poesie - if you ever see that for a reasonable price grab it!

You are SO right!!

I do like the Halo powder - I haven't used it in awhile as I feel I need a liquid or cream foundation in the cooler months. Now that spring is here I'll go back to powder-based - I also like Laura Geller's Balance & Brighten quite a bit. I can't seem to stay on one product for the duration of that product - can we say ADD?

Its making me mental

I talked myself out of it today - then tonight I want it again. I just keep thinking about it. I normally don't wear golds...but

I think Tea Rose is an older color, and yes, it appears to have been discontinued.

I've just been going through my Chanel collection, and wow. I have amassed quite a bit over the years - I've been so distracted by MAC I've forgotten these lovely creatures......they are now out of 'mothballs' and back in the arms of love

I have a ton of MAC also and get very distracted by all of their collections (I tend to get sucked into all of the LE stuff). I have this recent obsession with Chanel now. I am always on the lookout for the perfect pink lipstick and gloss. I have dark brown hair/dark eyes with medium skin (cool complected). I would love any recommendations

Oooh, good to know -- thanks! I think I saw a pic of Racheal McAdams wearing Rose Petale blush and it was just gorgeous! If I only had perfect skin like her . . .

Seriously, it's not that worth it. I had largely talked myself into it, saying it's a cake eyeliner great for traveling and a gold shadow always comes in handy
sneaky.gif
. But after seeing it, I didn't feel it and didn't get it. I already have all chanel cake eyeliners (a black among them) and lots of gold Chanel eyeshadows. I was easily able to leave it at the store without any remorses.

Anytime you need Chanel enabling, I'll be glad to oblige.

Sorry, Tea Rose has been discontinued in US but available worldwide. As I've explained long ago, US Chanel has it's own shades and products. The rest of the world stands by France rules and products are provided by the France manufacturer. Asia has some exclusives too.
th_dunno.gif


So sorry, you'd loved that one!!

Tea Rose was released on the Spring 2005 Collection in the Irrelle Blush line, for those wondering. Later on, as Irrelle are discontinued, Tea Rose and In Love were released on the Joues Contraste line.

What exactly are you looking for?? As you know it's a bit hard to pick one "pink" lippie or gloss!!

I've got that one along with Madmoiselle!! It's my fave!!

It was sooo hard for me to pick my Rouge Cocos... I have way too many Chanel lippies and somehow all the shades in the new lipstick were too similar to other's I already had.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I know all of you ladies have much more expertise in the world of Chanel than I do! I am looking for some great pink lippies. I tend to gravitate more toward cool pinks -- everything from light to medium to brights. But for summer, I also love peachy pinks and golden pinks. I also love glosses -- pinks, golden pinks, lavendar pink, peachy pink -- I am such an addict. I know it is hard because you can't see my coloring (dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, medium skin with cool tones) -- but I would love to hear of your favorite combos! We have Dior, YSL, etc here, but no Chanel counter -- so I have to go by swatches and recommendations when I order online. I love all of your tips!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ I can try naming a few that I'm familiar with.
Glossimer:
Astral - pink
drools.gif

Mica - slightly milky but shimmery pink
Venus - golden pink, hot for summer!
Bikini peach - peach pink
there are more glossimers available in the US but I've never seen them in person.

I think you will like Rouge Coco in Rose Comete too.


I must take a closer look at Orchidee the next time I'm at the counter!

Hypathya, I've been wanting to buy a gold chanel e/s. Is the e/s single gold good?

After looking at Venus on Temptalia, I realize I need it! It's still at Nordstroms. Hope I get around to it. From that collection, all I bought was Jupiter.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Like Miss QQ, my glossimer faves are the following:

  • Astral (#104) - this is discontinued but it might be available on Strawberry.net
  • Mica
  • Nebula (#122) - purply-pink irredescent - looks fabulous over any pink lip)
  • Courtesane (#138) - coral-y/pink
  • Wild Rose (#119) - plummy pink
  • Rose Sand (#89) - mid-toned rose
  • Paillettes (#93) - nice neutral pinky color
  • Brilliance (#13) - pink frost
  • Sideral (#105) - brighter-toned fuchsia pink
  • Magnifique (#83) - mid-toned pink
  • Constellation (#108) - peachy pink (pinker than Bikini Peach)

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Mademoiselle was very disappointing on me, it barely looked like I had anything on, my lips just became slightly browner. I think it's coz I have sorta fuchsia toned lips, they're almost a raspberry shade naturally.

Orchidee is a good everyday one on me though.

Oh, I've been contemplating Waterlily - it sounds yummy!

I had such a tremendous haul at the CCO today that I should stave off any cravings for more, but I can't help meself......I'm lemming Orchidee........may have to make a Friday evening jaunt to the mall

I also want to check out some of the current blushes based on what you ladies have said - Rose Petale sounds intriguing.......
