Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
Elegant...I'll just spare you the gory details and say that you neeeeeeeed Rose Petale JC if you don't already have it. I already feel like I should be filming the second part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
I guess Mythic should be the official colour for this thread!!!
Cetati, I don't think you can go wrong with the Joues Contrast blushes (JC's), it's just a matter of what kind of colour you like or what you feel comfortable wearing. My favourites atm are Imprevu and Rose Petale. The first is a bronze-y slightly coral terra cotta type shade, kinda hard to describe but nice if you like warmer cheeks! Rose Petale is a soft, neutral ballerina pink with a beautiful finish.

Thanks Elegant. I was looking at this or the Radiance Serum. I gave the radiance exfoliating scrub a try to deal with some flakies I'm getting using Retin-A, and it did a pretty decent job.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
Yeah, so after fooling around with craptastic drugstore mascaras, I bought a new Inimitable yesterday. I still can't believe I finished the other one. I've finished 2 now. They last forever, but I have NEVER finished any other product before (however my MUFE Face and Body foundation is about to join the list). I will never cheat on Inimitable again (unless it's with another Chanel mascara
).

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
Hi! Just wanted to chime in here with my full and hearty endorsement of Chanel, as well! Hehe. I have several can't-live-withouts from them. Highest on the list is Chanel Hydramax Cream -- I've gone through three jars! No fair! So expensive, though. I've been hoarding my last dollop of it, trying to stave off the spendies. But there's no replacement. I tried 11 moisturizers in 3 months before I found this one. I will try no more! Good thing is that one jar can last me up to 10 months (if I'm crazy frugal about it).
Chanel Darling RA is my absolute staple MLBB. Also love Chanel Candy joues contraste (edit: it's a beautiful milky peach with tasteful pink shimmer! agh! I think it's asia exclusive, though -- I bought one off strawberrynet a year ago). I'm still sad Nude and (more recently!!) Narcisse were discontinued. They were both perfect. In love (joues contraste) is ridiculously gorgeous as well!
Glossimers are incredible too. My favorite lipgloss, few compare. Personal favorites are Wild Rose (mauvey-browned rose w/ shimmer), giggle (creamy mauvey-brown-pink), Magnifique (berryish pink with shimmer) & Sirop (sheer natural pink w/o shimmer).
Argh! Chanel! I love you!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves
Elegant -- let me know how you like Rose Petale! Do you know if the Joues Contraste blushes are oil-free? I believe the Irreelle blushes are -- I was wondering about the JC ones.
Shontay -- I am the same with mascaras. I am always trying something new and then end up going back to my "true love".
I really want Mythic and Ming now!!
When will Chanel do another free shippping offer?? lol

Thanks so much for letting me know. For some reason, blushes with oil tend to break me out. I wish the US versions were oil free too! Hmmm, I do have a friend going to Italy next week. Maybe I should have her check out a Chanel Boutique there

Thanks for the welcome back Hypathya!

I love that makeup look, too! Smokey eyes and nude or pale pink lips are definitely my thing! I think I need everything! Can't wait to hear your review of Rose Petale and Mythic!

I am totally obsessed with getting Mythic now. I am always on the hunt for the perfect nude. I really want to try a blush, too. Problem is there were a lot of nice ones featured in that blog post (Rose Petale, Rose Bronze, Imprevu). Which to get?! Rose Petale looks beautiful, but I tend to like bronze/coral/peachy colours in the summer.

Haha, okay I am almost sold!
For those of you interested in Chanel skincare, just do it!!! Best ever!

I love Hydramax too! I am interested in trying the +Nutrition one that came out recently. I will probably try that one when I am finished my current jar. It's been about 3.5 months since I got it and I have well over half the jar left. I am thinking it will last me about 8 months total (fairly liberal morning and night use). The Chanel products are expensive but they do seem to last a reasonably long time.

If you like bronze/coral/peachy blushes, then go with Imprevu. It's exactly that. Though I can't comment on Rose Bronze.... yet.
