That's a really good list. I am only getting:

1 Marine Life
Temperature rising l/l
Flurry of fun l/g

I am happy with the 3 things because I know I'll use all of them

Edit to say: Even though beachbound is gorgeous, especially with FoF lipglass, I think I'll skip it b/c I'm afraid it'll give me a crackhead look. Not cool . So, just a backup of FoF and I'm done.

June is Chanel month dearie

- the fall collection comes out in June.....new JC......new glossimers..........new duos............new quad.....

 

[AudreyNicole]

For anyone that has both, would you mind taking pics of Beachbound l/s with Flurry of Fun l/g over it? I am still trying to decide on Beachbound. I could probably skip it on it's own, but I am thinking this will be a killer peach/nude combo for summer.

Oh, and Shypo, I plan on a tiny Chanel haul in June too - only a nailpolish though.

Too rich for my blood!

Man, I hear you!! I have to give it a rest! But the new glossimers and new blushes are SO purty......

I'm going to test a theory, so I'll have a few extra ML powders if anyone needs one. Just have to PM me!

they need to re-promote that darn metal rock. i keep hearing how hot it is!


i really hope funbathing works on my skin. NC50/nw45-47. i am looking for something like that in the summer. right now, i am thinking of hauling

flurry of fun: really reminds me of nice to be nice from HK.
fun bathing: if it works out for me, it can't be too light
firecracker: looks like a darker coral in some swatches, that sounds good. thinking i can use it on my cheeks as well.
sweet and punchy: definitely going to try this on the lids, I don't want anything too bright. i love that its a veluxe pearl. so i may get it to have it for my stash. i am sure i can tone it down a bit with something in my palette

i would love the get away blush but i am concerned this is going to look like a bronzer and not a blush on my skin. can't wait to see on thurs.

I swatched everything today, but they weren't available to buy

I'm just getting pink rebel lustre drops and hipness blush

 

[Nicque]

Do u know what the glossimers are going to be. I looooove glossimers I just bought galactic, constellation, meteore and sugar plum. I think I buy just as many as I do lipglasses. My wallet is always choking. Lol

I so agree with you. I think that Metal Rock is beautiful! I was able to snag 2 within a one week time frame about a month ago. Keep looking out for it. It took me a while to find them, but it was worth the wait.

I can't say that I blame ya. I think that MAC will repromote it again. Hopefully with additional colors!

I actually love Temptalia. I love it b/c she does different brands across the board and I find the swatches to be accurate. Also, she usually says what she thinks about a particular item for darker skin. But, to each his own.

I guess many people who saw that video won't buy Marine Life now but that means MORE for us haha yaaay!

Exactly! Poor research is a man (or woman's) downfall.

I didn't take pics, but at the pro store I put FoF over Beachbound and I was all

. I don't know how it would look on my lips. I'm wrestling with that since I am a deeper skintone, but I will probably get it b/c FoF looks so good on me. It should look awesome on you. It's entrancing. It's a waaay better combo than Sunsational and Gold Rebel.

Temptalia posted info on that collection. Chanel Les Contrastes de Chanel Collection for Fall 2010

 

[shontay07108]

Ok so, I will get Beachbound after all. FoF is just too awesome and BB will be the extra punch to it. So BB and another FoF. I am also considering Pink Rebel. I think it will work for me as well as Sun Rush. It can bring out the lighter blushes I use.

But sheered out ( ) I love it. With Easy Lounger I broke my lipglass no-buy but I had to get one lipglass in this special packaging. I still can't use my Marine Life but I've found a good substitute which I actually can use: Virgin Isle ccb. But of course it is discontinued and I only can use it because I have a backup.

In honor of To The Beach I did my nails using MAC's Lola Divine

When I went shopping today everyone at the beauty counters had to know what I was wearing. Its such a beauty on the nails. It should be a perm shade.

I used to think crackheads spent more money than we do
