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

Waterlily is one of my faves - its so soft & pretty.

I know, I'm checking on rose petale

Like I need another blush

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I want Rose Petale blush as well. I just love the Chanel Joues Contrast blushes, so wonderful. *sigh*

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Ok, way to gang up on a girl

Rose Petale is definitely on the wish list......I'm with you - between the 2 of us we probably own all the world's blushes......

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Shypo if you ever get to a Chantecaille counter don't leave without checking out the Lip Chics. They're wonderful! Kind of like a stick gloss with gorgeous shades and a balm like feel. They have a vanilla-ish shea butter scent. One of Chantecaille's most popular items, esp tea Rose and Camellia.

OK, now we're going to have to call you Princess Enabler Supreme....

.

I'm going to the San Francisco area next week and will do some scoping out of some new goodies.....

Chanticaille is at the top of the list with their Future Skin foundation and now these......I have Glee on the way from Nordstrom and I hope it arrives tomorrow or Monday before I leave!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

lol No, I'm not an enabler, I'm just jealous! I've never been to a Chantecaille counter in my life and I would so love to go to one! I'm living vicariously through you and getting excited at the prospect.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I haven't either - I'm a bit reluctant to get attached to another brand, but one or two things can't hurt. Right?

I am going to say Rose petale is a fairly neutral pink with shimmer and Tea Rose is a peachy pink. I'll try to take some pictures, although I'm always reading that JCs photograph poorly so don't get your hopes up too high.

I sometimes think I'm better off with these higher end brands because I feel like I *can't* buy as much.

Aw, thanks dear! I would so appreciate that. I can figure it out from the pics.

Madamoiselle didn't work for me either. I was so surprised. It seemed so pigmented on other people.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oh I want Waterlily! Too bad it never came here.

Mademoiselle is pigmented on me. These coco rouges are pigmented but do not feel heavy.

More Chanel items for me to check out: Rose Petale & Tea Rose. I have In Love and I tried Tea Rose before.

My go to blush is Poesie, which is an Asia exclusive JC released in the Think Pink collection in 2007.

Oh, Turbulent is gorgeous!! It reminds me of a (very) old Lancome blush called 'Tropink' that I had in high school/college......I loved that blush! I wish I could find Turbulent.....the hunt begins, but I hold out no hope

Thanks for posting these - I think Rose Petale is a must-have....

I hate that we can't get the Euro versions of Chanel

- it must have something to do with our FDA requirements.....if I get a chance to go to Europe I will defnitely have my list with me!!!

 

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

The ones at Strawberrynet are the Euro versions. I've had good luck with them. An Ebay seller that several people on MUA feel is trustable is Kakale (M&M Unlimited). I've had good luck with this seller as well. I sprung for Poesie on Ebay (not from Kakale) and it was worth every cent, but the price of that on Ebay now is more than double what I paid 2 years ago. I've been swaplifted multiple times in my attempts to get Turbulent

but a very nice MUAer eventually took pity on me and sent me a tester, so I do have that.

Another source of discontinued items is the Chanel boutique in NYC. They have an outrageous shipping charge but you can be 100% sure the item is not a fake and even with the shipping charge the price may be less than on Ebay. I got my Nude JCs from them.

I haven't gotten to use my Illusion D'Or yet, but my 3 year old is wearing it

Glad you decided to pass on the shadow/ liner, I really think its super dupable(at least that's what I keep telling myself)
