Yes - that pink looks awesome with Leopard print! I wore a pink Jacket that really matched Mistral

& it has a leopard print posie pin attached to it. Pink & Leopard print =

I have a pair of leopard print flats from Target that I love! I'm still searching for a pair of bright pink (think the color of Laser Fluo Gloss in the tube) platform peep-toe leather pumps, preferably croc-embossed. You'd think there'd be a ton of shoes like that!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I'm so sad, I cannot find my Ming gloss

I have looked everywhere like 10 times. I think there are makeup gremlins that carry things away

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Nope, and neither does Zappos or piperlime or anywhere else I've looked. I don't think I'm asking for much!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Thanks! Those blushes are so beautiful

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

OMG I miss Sirop. I hope they re-release.
I cannot wait to see the Fall Glossimers, they look amazing. Plus I'm psyched that this collection is all "Purpled" out. So Lavande-Garde!

I had Mistral on my tips from Sunday till today! Love the colour, such a happy pink, excellent coverage with two coats and the staying power was great too (always use a base and top coat).

I tried out Essie's Pop Art Pink (not too sure if this is the correct name) tonight, and was terribly disappointed in the coverage.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Does anyone here have the Bleu Celestes quad to comment on it?

I know, when I saw it in the bottle & did the first coat, I thought it was going to be too sheer, but it was perfect with the second coat!

looks like I need Mistral. No leopard print shoes but pink and those prints are hot together. I've seen bags with the combination and they're hot! And yes, Mistral is not sheer, I applied one coat at the counter and it was visibly pink!

I have it and it is perfect for a polished blue eye makeup. Chanel makes it elegant by having a grey blue shade, and a light shimmery blue shade. The dark blue is a smoked dark blue and the hightlight is a white seashell, not frosty at all. A well put together blue quad IMO.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I hope this is the right spot to ask this, if not feel free to point me in the right direction

I really want to get Chanel Dragon lipgloss (I think its called that, I'm extremely new to this brand

) and I was hoping that someone could tell me a good and obviously authentic ebay/online seller.

I am thankful for any help

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

WOW!! This thread it's growing like

I'm soo excited!!

I've missed some days and boy, I had to read more than 5 pages!!

So glad to find we have new members posting here!! Welcome darlings!!

I'm so excited for fall

Tomorrow I'll go to pick my summer goodies and now I'm impatient for the fall ones!!

Somebody asked for Constellation?? It's my go to gloss. If you read, my favorite pink glosses you'll find it in second place!! And only because, the first one it's the one that began my Chanel addiction!!

It's pinky sheer and has multicolored glitter. Somehow it's perfect alone or with a lippie. It gives the natural yet so pretty look.

It's an innocent-hot shade.

Bonitinha I guess you asked how long a Chanel bottle lasts?? I have bottles from 2002 still in perfect shape!!

Can I have Enigma quad already??

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ Thanks, I asked about Constellation. It's now on my list.

I want Enigma right now as well!

Here is the swatch of Imprevu. I have thought that Imprevu looks similar to Prim & Proper so I swatched them side by side for myself to compare and they are very different. P&P is much redder. I swatched the blushes with a fresh Chanel sponge tip applicator from the e/s quad (I hardly use the applicators for the e/s) and they look the same on the sponge!

My arm is about NC20.

Left to right: P&P, Imprevu

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hurray for fall previews!!

I def. want the second glossimer in the promo pic!! It looks like a cooler/more blue-based version of Cry Baby (which I've been looking for forever). Chintz Rouge Coco also looks lovelyyy.

Even though the Paradoxe nail polish is probably a shade I've seen many times before from other brands, the promo pic makes it look so... SPECIAL.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Also, I was planning on picking up Bronze Universel this weekend (or I guess that's Soleil Tan de Chanel now). Does anyone have a particular brush recommendation to go with it? And could someone describe the finish more accurately to me? Let me know, ladies!

 

[Bonitinha]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hypathya
We missed you

Wow, good to know about the polishes lasting that long!! (makes mental note that it is ok to start hoarding Chanel polishes)
Summer just barely started here and I am loving it -- but I am really excited for the Fall collection!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I always like Chanel's Spring and Fall collections! So excited for this fall!

Those of you who have Super, is it close to Show Orchid? SO is a hot pink and I own it, and hope they are similar so I can pass Super. However, I have a feeling it is redder than Super.
