Have you tried MAC's Florabundance lipglass? I bet it would be pretty over Mythic. I don't have Mythic . . . yet -- but I love Florabundance as a creamy nude shade. I wear it over Creme d/Nude -- but Mythic is on my list and can't wait to try it out!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I'll be Boy Bait would be gorgeous...I should go check, lol! Sugarrimmed would probably look lovely, too, to add the sparkle factor.

There are a few recent Glossimers I really want (Maline and Futile being a couple of them), but I need to free some funds up first.

By the way, loved your skincare favorites on the new blog! I've been thinking about trying that Neutrogena serum for a while now. How long did it take for you to notice any results? Any irritation/redness or flakies? They're having a full one hour show on QVC today with new items from that line as well, I'll be checking it out...and I'll probably order at least something to try, lol.

Thanks, Camnagem!! I noticed results in about a month. I also saw the new products, but I'm a bit skeptical about the eye cream, and waiting for better reviews on it from QVC shoppers. That said, however, I was considering trying the tinted SPF product - that intrigues me! I'll have to tune in if I haven't yet missed it.......

Hey - consider Porto Rotondo AL lipstick in place of Super - it's not Super, but it's a gorgeous vivid pinky red color that might suffice.......just an option

Shypo -- I also loved the skincare suggestions on your blog!

I am always up for a good skincare product. I tried to leave a comment, but it didn't go through -- looking forward to more posts!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

What do you ladies do with products you never use? I have my ever growing Chanel wishlist -- yet I have so much I don't use (Example: my UD Alice in Wonderland palette, MAC Shell highlighter from London collection, a MAC Sorceress palette from the last holiday collection, Rock and Republic eyeshadows -- and the list goes on -- I have used all of these like 2 times). I can't bear to throw them out, yet I need to make room for all of the glossimers and eye quads I want to buy!!

I have a feeling I will be buying way too much when the Chanel Fall collection comes out

I don't have Harlequin as it was not released here... But I do have Maline. LOVE it!! It's a cristalline light metallic pink. It has the most finely milled sparkles/shimmer I have ever seen. They're gold, silver and blue, but sooo finely milled they're difficult to notice and you're left with a metallic effect.

I think you may love Bikini Peach too!! It's a creamy light peach pink with tiny gold sparkles, barely noticeable to loose the creamy effect.

You are tempting me into trying the Shiseido eye cream.

Thank you sweetie!!

I LOVE the Sheseido eye cream - I put it on at 6:30 this morning, and I still feel it at almost 3:30 - it lasts all day! I get dry around my undereye area because this time of year my tear production is off the charts - this is the only thing I've found so far that lasts through that and makes the area moisturized.....see if you can pick up a sample to try it - that's what I did. A friend of mine who is a Dior counter manager told me about it.

I just LOVE Boy Bait anyway so I'm thinking the combo can't miss! I hear you on the funds...after To The Beach it's time to cool off some myself and plan for Fall. Ugh, waiting!

Oh awesome, a month isn't bad. Maybe I'll take the plunge and see how it goes!

Thanks for the info.

That tinted SPF item got my attention too, wonder what that's about. I just got a new (super cheap!) TM to try out that has SPF50 in it, so I'll wait a bit and see how the reviews shake out on the Neutrogena stuff.

I have both, Boy Bait and Sugarrimed, as soon as I can I will post swatches of them over Mythic. I need to find a gorgeous gloss to use with Mythic

You can post a sales thread here. I'm sure there are plenty of ladies who would be willing to take those products off your hands!

When I got the Garnier one, I felt ripped off... I wasted money. Ultra Correction Total Eye Revitalizer: It's a pack of eye patches (10) that comes with a mini eye roller. It's like the Eye Tonic, but with steroids. You must apply the roller generously before putting the patch on then wait like half an hour or what ever you want and then peel them off. You'll be left with amazingly bright and rested eyes. I've even used them once I cried until I sleep... you'd imagine my eyes in the morning. Won't tell you I was left like nothing happened, but they definitely and noticeable improved my eye area. I don't remember exactly how pricey they were, but must tell you the eye roller they come with has last me up to 6 months. Once you're out of patches, you can use the "mini" roller as an eye serum for a long time. So I feel it's a good investment.

Thank you sooo much for the review! So is the eye roller that comes with the patches very similiar to the eye tonic? I feel like I might prefer buying the set with the patches, as long as the eye roller is just as good. Too many skincare products to try/buy!

I've never been into the selling thing -- but that would give me more money for the Chanel stuff I have been obsessing over!

The last time I checked my Neiman's cart, it was astronomical LOL

Now I want to try that cream, too. I have heard good things about their skin care also. This thread is getting dangerous!

Hey - I like the new Antiqua palette lip colors - but you & I just bought Antiqua bronzer thats in the palette. I haven't even seen the TSV

EDIT: just saw the TSV - Nope not getting it! Not paying 80+ for that Nope!
I am liking the Lip Crayons though. Pink Raspberry

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Is Magnifique glossimer permanent? I am narrowing down my shopping cart with Neimans online

I will get the LE things first. I am feeling stressed, so for me that means shopping . . .

WOW!! I've been searching an eye cream that'd last that much!! Most I've tried disappear after I put my makeup on. Lately I've been using Hidramax + serum on my eye area to improve moist delivery to that area but haven't seen that much!!

Unfortunately, here in Mexico counters have a "samples only with purchase" policy and brands are managed by different companies. So I'd never get my hands on a Shiseido sample unless I buy something from them first!!

But next time I'm definitely checking that baby out!!

Thanks dear for the awesome recommendation!!

The eye roller that comes with the patches it's a 100 times better than the Eye tonic one!!
It's my pleasure to help!!
