Enigma is a definite for me - I am a sucker for the quads, moreso lately. So let's see.....one duo (Berry Rose, or whatever the name is), Enigma, 2 JCs, at least 3 glossimers.......I'd better stop there!!

I'm glad you found a decent MA - they're very hard to come by! I'm 'developing' a couple right now - it takes time and then they leave! Thanks also for that link......I had forgotten about it.....

.....now I'm thinking Misty and Taupe are going to somehow jump into my cart/bag. At least they're perm so there's no rush.

I totally agree! When I'm finally comfortable with them, they are rotated to another counter.

Hope you find the MA you like and my newly found best MA doesn't go to another counter so soon!

I'm drooling too! I can't get over how smooth they look!

Ok maybe I will get a duo, a JC, 2 glossimers, 2 n/p, Engima...

Whaaa?! Fall collex in June?!?! That is not enough time to recover!

I finally got around to posting my look using Mythic + Boy Bait. It's posted here: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f166/s...5/#post1945743, and there is a closeup of the lips on my blog.

Oh, and I've been using my mini Inimitable Noir Obscurs since it did like eleventy million mini orders when they had free shipping in order to keep getting all those samples. I really love it. It is sooooo black!

LMK if you ever try Chanel Mat Lumiere. My skin tends to get shiny, so I heard that is a good one to try. My skin is always changing, so I am always on the lookout for a new foundation. I don't like the one I'm using now, but since I paid $45 for it, I feel like I need to use it before I move on . . .

Those new Duos look gorgeous!!! In the swatches on the pixinet blog they look to have great payoff. I want Misty for sure. Thanks for posting that link Miss QQ!

I'm due for a little Chanel splurge. Maybe I will treat myself when this collection comes out. I am still loving my Rouge Cocos and I want to get a couple more Glossimers.

Seriously, I've done enough damage lately collecting glossimers and JCs.....I'm curtailing the 'investment' for a bit - maybe getting just one duo, then the JCs and glossimers with the fall collection......and very little MAC. Must......find.......discipline!!

Does Chanel have any products for the crepey-ness of the eye area?


The make up remover it's actually really good. It's not greasy but definitely removes all mascara with ease!!

What I do it's damping a cotton ball or pad and hold it against my eye closed for some seconds allowing the remover do it's job. Then I gently press it with tiny movements around the lash line. Never rub, never pull down.

The duos look really creamy and smooth in the swatches of the chinese blogger too! I put the link here again for anyone who wants to drool over them (me actually).

CHANEL 2010 ???? ???? & ????????? & ??? @ Yuki's Lazy Channel :: ??? PIXNET ::

Today when I was at the counter for Orient Extreme, the very nice MA told me that the new mascara will be arriving next month. She didn't mention the duos so I didn't ask too, but I'm guessing they will all be launched next month! I'm likely to pick up Taupe or Misty, and maybe the eye lash curler. Thanks for the info that the duos will be perm!
thmbup.gif


I was bad today and bought all three of the n/p and the eye liner and gold e/s. You are spot on with the description of the n/p! I like Gold Lame more than Gold Fiction, so I caved. Illusion D'or is stunning! The pink flakies hypnotise me. I love Black Velvet, so happy that it is not matte but rather jelly-ish matte. The MA had Black Velvet on, with half of each nail topped with Illusion D'or. I'll be doing that, as well as what I see at this blog, but these are challenging! I cannot paint with my left hand.

Yes this thread is hurting my wallet! I have always been buying Chanel makeup but am buying much more now because there is lots of recommendation here. Plus, I have just met a great MA at my usual counter! She has very good customer service and also very knowledgeable! Best MA I have ever met! But the MAs get rotated to other counters every few months. It is quite annoying but this happens at most of every brand of makeup counters in my country.

What about Enigma, Shypo?

I need it.


Physics hun!! I left Physics during PhD... Thanks dear

Those pics of the duos are seriously tempting... but I don't know. I want Enigma and those 3 JC sooo badly, I may wait a bit until I get the duos.

Love the pics of Orient Extreme too. The last mani it's seriously pretty!!
heart.gif


You were a really bad girl...Enjoy your goodies, dear!!

Oh!! It's sooo nice you finally have a great MA!! I wish you never loose her. I know it's hard to find one...That's why I followed mine when she was moved to the other side of the city. Which it's not that simple, btw, Mexico City it's a really large and conflictive. Traveling to her counter may be a 1-2 hours trip, just one way!! But she's really good and loyal with me and we've been together for more than 7 years. So she knows what I like, what I have, what's my skin like, what I can't live without!! And she totally trusts me when I say I'll get something, so she keeps my goodies on hold as long as I need to. Furthermore, she's never annoyed when she keeps something for me and after swatching I end not getting it. She's absolutely the greatest.

I use Mat Lumiere... it's nice, but doesn't last that long on my highly oily combination skin

. Why don't you ask for a sample on your next purchase on Chanel.com?? I've seen they often offer samples.

Which one are you using now, btw??

Oh, gorgeous!! Your skin is amazing! I'm glad you like the mascara - I'm hoping to try it soon as well!! Nordstrom is having a buy 2 get one free on mascaras (they all have to be from the same line) so I might 'stock up' then if I like it - thanks for posting this look!!

I may not buy all 3 JCs from fall so perhaps I can get a duo.

You are so loyal to your MA, willing to travel so far for her. But she sounds just like a fabulous MA, so it is all worth it! Great MAs are hard to find, especially one that we are comfortable with!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hypathya ~ Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Chanel makeup remover and the Mat Lumiere foundation. Good idea to ask for a sample through Chanel.com. Darn, sad to hear the mat lumiere doesn't last long on oily skin. I had heard that Estee Lauder Double Wear lasts all day on oily skin, so I bought that a little while back. It does last, but it is so thick and feels kind of mask like. On to the next foundation experiment!
I, too, can't wait for the fall collection. I am hoping the duos are creamy and pigmented! All of the glossimers look gorg -- and I want the light pink blush

Why do they make it so hard for us to narrow it down??

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

New glosses from Chanel? I read here that there will be new glosses in 9 shades, Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss.

A blogger that Falls in love with Makeup: Chanel Fall '10: Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss

They look like a taller and slimmer RA Laque.
drools.gif
I love glosses, so I'll definitely buy them! The sponge applicator looks different from the Laque, but I'm curious to know what exactly are the differences. There will also be new n/p, RA Laques and RA l/s!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^^^ those look so chic and elegant! Maybe I should wait until getting any Glossimers until I can scope these new ones out.

I have 3 of the Aqualumiere glosses and like them, but they just do not last long enough for me on the lips. They feel great, though.

I don't have any of those RA. If I remember correctly, they are all pink, right? I remember I checked out all of them before, but didn't buy them as there were other things to be bought first.
lol.gif
I only have :
Ardent - coppery rosewood
Mythic - nude
Charme - warm mid-tone hot pink, i don't really know how to describe. not exactly a hot pink
Genial
love.gif

Ardent and Charme are not my favourite colours, although I still wear them. I bought them when I just started experimenting with Chanel makeup.

I think you may want to check out Comedia and Exquise too!

I agree, I think I may not get any of the fall glossimers too since they may be perm. Yeah, the packaging is to die for!

I also agree with the aqualumiere glosses. I just bought my first - Bondi Beach, but it only lasts an hour on me! When they were first launched, I got a sample of Diamond Rose but found it sheer and not lasting. Not getting any more of those, although the texture is great.

Hi Winthrop! There is an Asia-exclusive JC called Pink Clouds, but the one coming to the US is called Pink Explosion - it's a light but bright pink, then there's a mid-toned rose (oh, how usual
winkiss.gif
) called Rose Temptation and a deep plum color that I don't know the name of. Pink Explosion will definitely be mine, and depending on how much I like it, I may in fact do a first-ever Chanel backup!!
yahoo.gif


I have swatched the RAs you mentioned, but I was sort of
noworry.gif
about them....Imagination was my favorite of the 3. I opted instead for more of the AL lipsticks since they'll be exiting eventually......and I have Rose Comete RC
