Wasn't Gabrielle the girls (or her sister's) name in the Coco Chanel movie?

I would love to wear this lip color with that simple white lid color & the thin black liner! Like in those fall pics we saw.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Just placed an order on Chanel.com for:

Glossimer in Meteore (I will get a ton of wear out of this, a great staple shade for me)

Quadra Eye Shadow in Reflets D'Ombre (been wanting this for quite a while)

Purete Ideale Serum Intense Refining Skin Complex (I used to use an older version of this product a few years back, I hope it is still as good as I remember)

That sounds devine! I'll have to check this one out when I hit Nordie's for my TTB haul on Friday.......

Aw, I want you to come with me too!!

Calling now to see if they have it in stock - they have one left - she's putting it aside for me....not sure why it would be discontinued so fast, though....very bizarre. I'm not sure I'll get it for me (but it does look awfully tempting), but do you want me to get it for you?

I like Temptalia's swatch of Rouge Orage - I know that MzzRach has that one and loves it....I may have to try it on as well......

It's pretty neutral, but I would say it leans more toward blue red than an orange one. It has no orange tones, but it does reflect warm light as a warm red. Agghh....... Soooo pretty.

Looks like All Cosmetics Wholesale has it for $19.99 still (not sure how much shipping is though).

Oh, and yeah! Gabrielle was Coco Chanel's given name. I think the simple lid, with thin black liner (winged!) is the perfect way to rock it, any time of year. I did something similar (used Chanel Lotus), filled brow (Chanel "Soft Brown" brow pencil) and a little bit of Chanel Candy (basically unnoticeable) for warmth. Sigh... Chanel. It's so.... Chanel-y.

Oh, thanks for that!

I REALLY REALLY love lily too.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

That one came out awhile ago and I have been wanting it but was hesitating based on Sabrina's review:

The Beauty Look Book: Les Naturels de Chanel

She makes it sound almost sheer-invisible...did you get to swatch it? I do love her picture of it.

Yes, I swatched it. I thought they all had good color payoff

Of course, lily is such a beautiful light tad lavenderish pink. Its one of the prettiest soft pinks I've seen. But it is light.

EDIT: EXCEPT the one I was not allowed to touch

That's all I needed to hear! Thank you!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I've been eyeing Orchid Rose for a time.....first saw it in Boston and almost bought it then, but I opted for Rose Dust instead.....but OR won't let me be....does anyone have this one, and/or Bel Air glossimer? I'm debating it as well (Nordie's has it on their site).......

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I have Orchid Rose and really like it alot. Bel Air glossimer I thought was kinda ordinary. I know alot of people go bonkers over it though, so maybe that's just me...or my pigmented lips!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Great haul Rachel! Can't wait to see what you think of your stuff!

Awesome on the orchid rose.

I hate my pigmented lips!

There is a MAC artist at the Nordies I go to that has the most beautiful natural soft pink lips

Me, like a dummy, always asks her what lippe she is wearing - none!

& then next time I see her I forget & ask her again what she is wearing. I want her lips!!!

I have Orchid Rose. Never really liked it on me that much, it's really neutral and can actually go a bit orangey on me. If I use it, I apply Narcisse over it and then I quite like it.

This collection didn't launch here. I so wanted Bel Air and Waterlily and would love to see the e/s and Orchid Rose in person too. Too bad!

stv578, now I feel better about missing Orchid Rose. I don't want orangey blushes. It doesn't sound like a must have.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hey ladies, I just added a Chanel post to my new blog. I thought of you all while doing it. Especially you elegant and shypho

. It took quite some time to do with all the swatches and things. Who knew? My collection isn't even that big!
Anyway, I hope this feeds your addiction AudreyNicole

. I thought of you when I swatched #687.

The url is in my sig if you're interested.
