Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Wow...I'm gonna have to get that Soleil Tan De Chanel.

I got a creme bronzer from MAC's TTB collection and I love it, and this product looks even better. MAC's is a creme to powder finish, and while I like that, I'm also looking for another option to use for glowy/dewy days and this seems perfect.

I'm super pale and honestly I know this will look really out of place trying to use it all over my face, but it just looks stunning as a contour in that video.

...added to ever growing Chanel wish list.

(PS: Hi beautiful people, happy Friday!)

Agghh - its still sitting in my cart

Happy Friday

Yeah the girl in the video is fair and it looks awesome on her! I am NC25 so I think I'll work great and application is the key. Many say that the 168 brush is the best since its soft so the color will be blended quite nicely and it doesn't pick up too much product. I am so excited about this

I agree. Who's 168 brush? MAC's?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Do we have any more updates on when the Fall collection will be available? For some reason I was thinking June, then July...and now I can't remember! I e-mailed Chanel through the website to see if I could get any specifics on the release date, we'll see if I get a response.

I'm so anxious for that quad!

On another note, I'm still sad about missing out on Genial and Super.

I think I might pick up Impassioned and Vegas Volt from MAC and maybe Illamasqua's Intense l/g in Indulge and MUFE's #202 lipstick. Something in that haul should fill the void, right?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I just called Saks & Macys Its still 3rd or 4th week of June. I'm still guessing its the 16th from what Saks told me.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Probably mid-June. The Chanel SA wasn't at the counter when I went, so I asked the Lancome SA who helped me, and she said she didn't know exactly, but thought it was very soon.

I'm sorry you missed out on those too.....it's strange they only released it to certain stores......taking a page out of MAC's book, maybe?

I found Vegas Volt at a CCO not too long ago - it tends to show up there from time to time. I haven't seen the Illamasqua or MUFE lipsticks yet (still wanting to head to NYC to that boutique, which would definitely mean T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

).

Sometimes you just have to scratch that itch!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Here is some information about the new lip and nail products....looks like an August launch date....and interestingly, the new liquid lipsticks (RA Extrait de Gloss) apparently are not replacing the RALs, as Dragon and Ming are featured.

Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss for Fall 2010 | Chic Profile

I'm wondering if it's the duos that are coming out in the next couple of weeks, and the 'big' collection in August? Gosh, I hope not!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Both Saks & Macys told me the Enigma quad & duos, but they never told me anything else

I swear its like pulling teeth to get any information out of them - like they never seem to know the product or whats going on???

I LOVE MUFE's 200 series lipsticks, I think those are all the cream finish ones. They're sooo smooth and pigmented and shiny! #206 is my favorite!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Lord help me! I am away for a few days and I find all these other goodies to test out!

I am going to love that bronzer if it is even better than MAC's --

Tomorrow I try my "Genial" -- I have yet to even try it. Swatched it seems Vegas Volt is more orangey, Genial is more of a true coral with some pink

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!

I love anything Taupe, so this is going to be my choice also

I really need to get more use out of these during the summer!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I called my Macys Chanel dept & the lady tried to talk me out of the bronzer

I don't know how much I trusted her opinion because she was so confused about the product.

 

[stv578]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

That's unusual! What were her reasons?

Oh, and I forgot to mention before that I finally got around to trying Nouvelle Vague on my toes and wasn't all that happy with how it looked with my skintone.

I had that colour on one foot and Mistral on the other. My daughter really didn't like the blue and wanted me to stick with Mistral, but it wasn't going on as easily as it did on my tips, so i ended going with China Glaze's Strawberry Fields!!! (This has got to be one of the best pedi colours ever!).

 

[elegant-one]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

That's the problem she wasn't really clear about why. She said its so sheer - its a base....confusing.

Oh my on the nail polish job - one of each color

ahhh.

I love wearing red polish, but its just awful to take off. You didn't like Mistral on?

 

[stv578]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

No, I loooove Mistral. And it looks really nice on. But it was being rather finicky with the application, went on a bit streaky. Didn't have the same issue when I applied it on my finger tips at all. I just didn't have time last night and had to get something on my toes!

Don't think I want to risk getting addicted to using cotton pads from Chanel either.

Black Star is the black single e/s right? Over here it isn't new. It came out with the Smoky Eyes quad in 2008. I remember it as an intense black with micro glitters (silver?), much blacker than the non glittery black in Smoky Eyes.

The Soleil tan de Chanel cream looks amazing in the youtube video.

The application looks a little tricky to me, as I don't have time to blend evenly in the mornings.

However, by the end of the video, I'm thinking I need it.

I have Soleil tan de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid in Sunkissed which I use with my foundation to give a glow to the whole face.
