Winthrop - thanks for Karlas line about the concealer. I will have to try that.
You know, sometimes her site - the ads - really screw up my laptop. & I know thats where I got a virus embedded in an ad. Sorry, just a side thought because when I just went there, one of the ads wouldn't load & it froze my laptop.

Helloooo ladies!
Liking the new thread. Very tired atm, so I'll have to be quick.
For concealer, i am currently using Shiseido's. I'm pretty happy with it.
What I need is a really good foundation, that doesn't make me break-out, is long wearing and doesn't look too flat. Any suggestions? I'm currently using Clarin's everlasting foundation, and it doesn't break me out, is long wearing but makes my skin look really dull.
And Elegant, I'll be checking out the Dior lippies, hopefully tomorrow!
Sorry ladies, I'm not much fun tonight, having a hard time keeping my eyes open! Be back tomorrow night!
Till then, have fun!

My favorite concealer is BB's Creamy Concealer. Not because I'm crazy about the texture (it settles into my undereye lines a little), but I've never found a better match in terms of color (I wear Sand). It's the perfect color for under my eyes, with enough of a slight peach tint that it cancels out any purpley-ness. If they ever discontinue it, I might go nuts.

I'm currently using the Mac's prolongwear concealer, but it does get crepe-y on the inner corners of my eyes, no matter how much I try to smooth it out... And I need a concealer, because I look like I'm storing coffee grounds under my eyes... Sigh.. Always have, too.
HG- Funny, I just purchased a Gipsy myself, but the Guerlain one. I've really been trying to explore orange lips lately, since it's one tone I've stayed away from. That's one of the reasons that I'm looking at Chanel's Rebelle RC Shine... Have to get comfortable with new colours a little at a time.

Oh God! There is nothing better than waking up early in the morning and finding out there's a new meeting point for Chanel's lovers
Regarding concealers, I am absolutely in love with my BB's in warm sand although I cannot wear it w/o using a bit of eye cream underneath or it goes cakey a few hours later. Anyway, it seems that Bobbi has reformulated it, so it is a bit more moisturizing. I guess I will give it a try after I finish the one I am using at the moment. I think we don't have CDP here, but I'll try to make some research later.
Elegant - every single time I look any of your posts and I read "watermelon" my imagination starts to fly away to that gorgeous colour and my wishlist increases
HerGreyness, I also miss your picture =(

Ok, coming back from Chanel again. Are those Armani pencils good for the waterline? I don't have an Armani counter in my city, but I may go and grab them to the closest counter if it's necessary, cause I really need some staying power in the waterline (MAC's Teddy don't even colour my waterline
, it is very watery).

^^ I've also heard it's been reformulated, both in texture and somewhat in color. I'm concerned!! What if my HG color is changed?! Garrrgh, I need to go buy some backups of the old-style concealer before they're all phased out.
Just a bit of off-topic fun: I was reunited with my preschool "husband" today! I was standing in line to buy dinner to-go, when the guy in front of me turns around (very tall) and asks me "Do we know each other from somewhere?" And I was like "Errr, no. Haha." And he was like "Sorry" and turned around again. But then when I left and was on my way home, I thought to myself "Well, his face does look somewhat familiar now that I think about it..." Sure enough, I do a little Facebook investigating and search for the name of the guy that I suspect it is, and... it's the guy who used to kiss me in preschool when we were like 5 years old! I moved away after that and haven't even thought of him pretty much since I was five
, so it blows my mind that we would end up in the same city and happen to recognize each others' faces so many years later, and I can't believe that I even remembered his name!

Hi everyone. I thinks it's a bit sad that we cannot go off-topic in the other threads, feels a bit like church and less like a makeup forum. [quote name="Honey&LemonGirl" url="/forum/thread/174086/the-chanel-ratonas-off-topic-thread#post_2095067"] My favorite concealer is BB's Creamy Concealer.

[/quote] I do not know if you have seen it, but they changed the formula and now the powder in it is pressed. It looks a bit like a NARS eyeshadow duo. How do you apply it? Every time someone from BB applied it on my eyes it makes me look like someone used a bit of pork and added flour over it :shock: Currently I am using the MAC Moisturecover concealer and I also tried the MUFE HD and Lift concealer. All more or less the same, so far I like the colour of MAC one the most. Oh, and I also have the Armani concealers from Karlas link and I found them rather drying. Where is MissQQ?

Hello!
Here I am, late to the party! Love this thread!
I'm using cdp concealer in Ivory and mufe lift 3. The mufe was a new purchase, and I'm liking it so far. cdp concealer can get cakey if I use too much, and dry. But I won't overapply if I blend some foundation on my undereyes first before I put concealer.
Has anyone tried Givenchy lipgloss before? I never tried any and now they have new ones. The black, purple and all the pink ones look beautiful in the tubes here.

honey&lemon - that was so cute! lol! When I was 7 yrs old, a boy in my class kissed a girl on her cheek and he bit her in the process. The teacher asked why was her cheek bleeding and she complained. So the boy was punished to face the wall for that lesson. lol.
Now I don't know if I should post at our chanel threads or here.

Yay for the chatter thread where we can talk about anything. I didn't even realized we were officially not allowed to go off-topic on dedicated discussion threads :O I did it anyway, cos I love to ramble (if you haven't noticed yet).
I also cannot use any kohls on my waterline, Almus! I was wondering what I was doing wrong, but I guess it's just my "watery" waterline.

@Miss QQ: I saw that post on the Givenchy glosses too!!! The colors look out of this world. I'm going to swatch Icy Peach & Explosive Raspberry as soon as these become available at Sephora (I think that's the only place we can get Givenchy in the US).

The liner that works best in my waterline is the Stila Eye Kajal. They have it at Sephora if you can order from there online. I have it in black and I know they have it in brown and a blue sapphire color. It is creamy and really intense and seems to have the most staying powder on the waterline for me (but it would be a disaster if I tried to use it to line my upper lashline). I have the watery eye issue, too. Always trying out new liners!Ok, coming back from Chanel again. Are those Armani pencils good for the waterline?

Honey&Lemon -- that is too funny about finding your long lost preschool love! I can't believe he recognized you!
Bis -- I remember reading a while back about a blogger who loved the MAC moisture cover concealer, too. It seemed to go on light under the eyes (which would be great, because some of my concealers are too heavy under the eye).

I don't have access to many brands, eg armani, but there is a Givenchy counter. Can't wait to see them. Report back when you swatched them!

Almus - I know, I am seriously 'hooked' on watermelon pink The new Shiseido ls have a very superior quality feel imo. except that Iron Maiden does have a slight gritty feel, but the color is so gorgeous on that it doesn't matter. I think I will get at least a couple more of these they are so divine feeling.
Honey - Was he good looking? Find anything creepy on his facebook?
bis - I have always gone off-topic in almost every thread as long as I have been here
When I was little & had to sit in church & someone would tell me to be quiet - it always made me have to giggle. School was the same way for me, I got more check marks for being chatty when I shouldn't be talking it was ridiculous. So hence, I go off topic when something pops into my mind. Harmless & fun.
I guess at my age, that part of me never changed. One time right in the middle of morning prayer at school (6th grade) I did a cheerleading split
just because I felt like it. The teacher (a rather stern man) said, "Miss ...., save the cheerleading activity for after school" Really? it wasn't appropriate during prayer
I guess I still have that streak to me.
So I tried out that Exfolikate last night for the first time. It made my skin so smooth, but it also kinda dried it out. So I also tried a sample of her oil free moisturizer which is quite nice, but I hope that it doesn't break my skin out. I hate having sensitive skin.
Where is our Meg????

I use Bobbi Brown concealers... I don't recommend that either, settled in my undereye line so bad it looks like I've aged a couple of years. It's good enough for some spots I got from blemishes, and I'm still using it for that.

They are indeed. I am preparing the next assault to the Dior counter soon! And, by the time I have finished in there, I'll go by Bobbi Brown's one and get Sweet Nectar if available.Almus - I know, I am seriously 'hooked' on watermelon pink
