Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

The duos are launching soon, in June for me.

They look so smooth and creamy!

Go, Audrey! Have you picked which glossimer already?

Yes, Mica and then In Love JC.

Which workouts do you use of Jillian's? I did the 30 day Shred for a while, but I must say her Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism is a definite butt kicker!! I like the idea of rewarding myself with glossimers if I keep up on my exercise goals!!

I am a huge eye shadow junkie! I love either quads and I have not tried one of the Allure lipsticks yet.

I can do that by Friday right?!?!

Good luck Audrey!

I have a feeling that you will have a new glossimer on Friday. 20 lbs is awesome!

I saw a pic on MUA today and was wondering if they were new or existing... http://img.makeupalley.com/0/5/3/2/1649501.JPG

I think once I get to 75 lbs I will reward myself with something Chanel. That sounds like a good goal and it would be such a treat.

I love the 30 day shred! I still have yet to try her other ones but I have heard good reviews.

Rach, awesome haul...can't wait to hear what you think of everything!

Is it just me or is reading about someone else's recent haul a close second to hauling yourself? I LOVE reading about what you all pick out and purchase, and the reviews later!

Hi Katie!!

I second all of the rec's so far. Also, check out Mythic RA (awesome nude a ton of us are obsessed with, lol) and the new Enigma quad for fall!!!

I love the growth in here...we really DO need a Chanel smiley!

I haven't been able to find the new duos anywhere yet, if someone does....please share where!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Oh, also...

I'm not sure why but it makes me giggle out loud when people call me by my screen name here. It sounds kinda robotic or transformer-ish or something to me, but I'm just weird I think.

Anyways, it's just my name + part of my last name backwards, so everyone please feel free to call me Meg (only my dad calls me Megan, and only when he's all upset, lol).

One more thing! Those of you who have started blogs recently, I check/read all of them daily and I think you're all doing great - keep it up!

That's funny!

I sometimes feel weird typing out someone's screen name when it's obviously not their real name.

And thanks for the encouragement!

Aw, my mom's name is Meg, and if I had had a girl, her name would've been Megan!!! I love that name!!

Thanks so much for your support - I'm behind a bit due to some other commitments over the last couple of days, but I'll be back in the saddle today!

Me too - my name is Cheryl with a 'hard CH' - like Chair with an 'L' on the end

vs the usual French pronunciation. Shypo was a nickname one of my uncles gave me when I was very little....I have no idea what it means or where he got it....

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Shypo, if you haven't seen these pics on Temptalia they are very representative of Bel Air...it just wasn't anything special to me. I think the specialness of it to many people is that it's one of the few glossimers with alot of color. For me the one that's got alot of color and is gorgeous is Wild Rose. Anyway, here's Bel Air:

Chanel Les Naturels de Chanel Glossimers Photos and Review

If you do get Orchid Rose make sure you get the US one. The Euro one was more shimmer than color and was the one JC that *did* irritate my skin.

Audrey the release dates for Chanel are alot harder to pin down than the MAC ones. The new e/s duos were originally predicted to debut in April:

http://www.makeup4all.com/new-duo-ey...ara-by-chanel/

Some things get released in Europe or Asia well before here, and some never make it here at all. And it all seems to be a mystery!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Ya know, I am wondering what the chances would be of a Chanel subforum? There definately has been alot more activity here lately...

Thanks for all of the encouragement ladies.... I will report back after my weigh-in on Friday!

Thanks - yes, I didn't find the appeal in Bel Air either -

Thanks for the tip on OR - I'll be sure to get it 'here' - after a satisfactory swatch!

It is always interesting how people come up with their screen names LOL
My name is Michelle, but my husband lived in Brazil for a while and Bonitinha is kind of a "cat call" to women over there -- he called me that when we were first married

I organized my stash yesterday to make room for new Chanel goodies. I'm thinking I will be needing my own "makeup room" complete with awesome vanity here soon!!

Thanks for sharing this!

I didn't buy Wild Rose because it happened that I wasn't wanting any lip glosses at that time. Have you tried Courtisane? We talked about it before, so let us know how you find it. I happen to be wearing it today.

Oh Venus is a pigmented glossimer too, and great for summer!

 

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Yes, I bought Courtisane on your rec and like it alot! Thank you!

Venus looks really pretty in swatches but I don't think it's available online anywhere anymore?

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Glad you like it!

Venus is much warmer, a bright coral pink with gold and pink shimmers. On me, as it wears off it turns more orange, which is like a unique side effect. I thought Venus is part of the perm glossimers that launched in summer last year. Only Cosmos and Jupiter were LE out of the 8 glosses that were launched.

Nordstrom still has it on their site -

 

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ They do? Are you searching for it by name? I don't see it when I look at the glossimer category...

ETA I can't find it by name either.

 

[Camnagem]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^ I can't find Venus anywhere either, by name or in the glossimer category. I've been trying to find it for a few days now actually and had no luck.

If anyone manages to find it somewhere, please let us know!

I will see if I can find it -

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Courtisane is here:

Nordstrom

And I found Venus at this site:

Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer Venus No. 124

I've never ordered from Izzy's before.....I will also check my local stores to see if I can find it if I do, do you want me to pick it up?
