Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

It's quiet here today!

So I had quite the crappy day today at work. Had an argument with DH over the phone and apparently made a mistake with something work related due to an oversight. So I wasn't in a pleasant mood when i got home until I saw my package from Karin!!! Yay!

So I got Seashell glossimer (looks even prettier irl than the pics i've seen of it!) and Rose Bronze JC, which also looks stunning in the pan. Will be trying these two out tomorrow morning, so excited! I'm thinking Seashell will go perfectly over Como aqualumiere!

Thanks Karin!!!

I passed by a counter yesterday, and the girls there had absolutely no idea when these would be available here. I told them they were already on the U.S. sites, but they were of the opinion that we wouldn't be getting them for some time. They've been been wrong before though. They also said the fall collection wouldn't be out till August. I think I want the taupe duo to start, and if I like it, will also get Misty!

Is that the new mascara? Haven't seen it yet and I want to know how good is it too.

I have no idea. I may call my Saks store lady & ask her. I don't think so, but I will inquire.

Aw,
th_hug.gif
don't you just hate those kind of days. And, it always seems like a few things go wrong - all at the same time. Well, your goodies should give you a little pick up.

The eyeshadows out are the new single es colors not the duos

Sorry if I was unclear about that

Like you, I want the Taupe Delicat duo mostly because of the model pictures in that link

I hope you have a better rest of the week.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Thanks Elegant! No worries about the e/s! Not like I can really afford anything at the moment anyway! Maybe the girls at the counter weren't wrong then, haha!

So I tried out my goodies today! Will take a few moments here to gush, because I looooveee both of these! Funny, I'll do this major haul from MAC, then get a couple items from Chanel or Dior, and I'm completely over my MAC toys...

Rose Bronze is the perfect blush for me. This isn't shimmery like most JC's, but has an iridescent sheen to it, and the colour is exactly as the name implies, a bronze-y rose, but only a touch of bronze really. Complimented my skintone perfectly, yay! I used Seashell over Como as planned, never did try Como on the lips before and adore both of these as well! They go very well together. Como on its own over my fairly pigment lips looked like a pale bronze-y pink shade, so ya, went well with the blush. Seashell's a gorgeous iridescent pinky peachy tan colour that complimented Como well. Now I really want that taupe/cream duo to complete this look!

The Chanel counter at the Bay I ferquent here in Ottawa told me they'll have the fall collection mid July

Thanks Shadowy. I would think that's a lot more accurate, because we generally get the new collections shortly after the U.S. Hope the new duos will be out at the same time.

That sounds really really pretty. I will have to check out Rose Bronze now. I think the Taupe/cream will be really versatile.

Well, I'm pretty sure the collection will be available by the 16th if not sooner in the US because the Saks lady wanted me to schedule an appointment to have my makeup done with Chanel's West Coast artist that is coming into Saks on the 16th. of this month.

I'm pretty sure Rose Bronze will quickly become a go to blush. Definitely my favourite JC. I have no idea why it's not available in Canada.

I picked up Futile today. It's soooo pretty and pale pink and sparkly! Futile seems like a pretty spot-on name...it was a futile effort on my part to try to skip it!

I MAY have found my new perfect concealer (stresses may)
The new smashbox waterproof concealer! It feels like nothing on! but covers soooo beautifully. The light is verrry light, so you only need a tad. Now to just wait to see how it wears throughout the day.

Cheryl with the hard CH - did you get yours

What is Futile?
Sounds like I'm answering a Jeopardy question

Ahhh! I wanted to order that concealer but it was on such a long pre-order (pfffft, QVC!) thing I figured I'd just wait and order later...and then totally forgot about it!
lol.gif


What do you think of it after wearing it a while? Are you using it under the eyes or elsewhere?

Yay! That sounds so pretty...and futile is probably right, lol.

I loved your summer essentials post btw. Good tips and the hat was fab!
