The Chanel Ratonas Off-topic Thread

[User38]

I think the Ratonas who want Lightscapade should develop a strategy for purchase.. this will be insanity to buy.. worse than SR imo.

Almus.. thank you. I am hoping she at least has an easier time of it.. I just fed her chocolate pudding which my mother made for us.. lol. She ate it all and she has been losing her apetite dramatically. It makes me so sad but I have to keep her spirits up. I hate summer colds.. lol. they are an oxymoron and also a pain in the butt. lol.

Anneri.. congratulations darlin!! say yes only if you feel it's a good fit for you tho.. it's tough out there but it's tougher putting up with a crap boss. Best of luck!

signing off for tonight..

who's Ramon?

just kidding.. life has funny twists and turns and this is just one of them. Who knows what may happen down the road..

 

[mtrimier]

¡rrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaamooon! heee!

(just had to get that out of my head. kthxbai!)

 

[cutemiauw]

Anneri, you go girl

. Congratulations!!!! Looking forward to the whole story!


Happy (late) 4th of July everyone! Hope you all had fun with the fireworks

HG -

happy to see you back!! Big hug to your sister and both you and your mom for taking care of her

. Hope you all find the strength to get through this.
Sorry to hear it didn't work out with Rrrraaamon... (will miss the stories too ). I agree too with everyone, you know what's best for you! And it wouldn't be fair to string him along if you don't feel it anyways...
Btw, did you see I finally got Antigone? (post it over at the chanel lippies thread) I love it!! Thanks for fully recommending it

Almus - Get well soon!!! I don't like colds... summer nor winter . We also had temperature drop from 27C to 15C the past couple of days, not because of ac but because of rain. It was raining for three straight days over here.

Last night I saw this documentary-movie: Life in a Day http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1687247/ . It's a wonderfully sweet and honest piece. I love it! Totally recommended

Almus - get well soon! I don't like the drastic temperature changes too, over here mine is 35C outside and around 20C indoors because of air cons too.

I haven't kept up the Semi Precious thread so it is almost impossible for me to go in now. It is launching this Thursday for me, so are there any items that are special and worth looking at? The only thing I want for now is the 234 eye brush.

i think the coral blush looks lovely and is very soft feeling (according to many reviews). the msf's this year are nothing special and the mes are a bit hit and miss. i am excited for smoked ruby and hint of sapphire.

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Thanks! How about Clarity mes? It looks interesting. I don't know when the fall collection will launch here, I want Lightscapade too, so maybe I should take off that day. lol

 

[cutemiauw]

Eh, noob question: What's so special with Lightscapade MSF? The pattern looked very cute though!

I saw T site recommending Gem of Roses lipstick from Semi Precious. It looks nice on her... but not so much on Karen (which is closer to my skintone).

 

[Shypo]

Anneri, good for you sweetie! I know you will make the right choice!

Almus, feel better soon - I'm sorry to hear that you are under the weather!

HG - welcome back - I'm sorry your sister's appetite is on the decline - but I hope she is not suffering. Feeding her the pudding your mom made is so sweet. I know she loved that! And it's time for you to focus on yourself - Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrramon will be fine, and like you said, who knows what will happen down the road!

Elena! I'm so glad you're back!! We've missed you so! Glad to hear that your studies are complete and that you have that behind you! Congratulations!

I have Lightscapade - I wouldn't mind a backup. Let's get out that list........yikes.

Hope all the US Ratonas had a wonderful Independence Day!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

 

[Winthrop44]

Hope you feel better soon Almus. No fun to be sick during summer.

Welcome back HG, I'm sure your sister really appreciated your feeding her that pudding, and your mom making it. I know how the seemingly little loving gestures really mean alot at times like this.

Anneri, congratulations. That's wonderful news!

 

[bis]

Anneri, congratulations :happydance: Almus, get well soon, being sick during summer sucks. Hope everyone is doing fine

 

[Bonitinha]

^^Hi Bis! This thread has been quieter than normal lately I am still waiting for my Byzance quad and RE blush. Hopefully tomorrow . . .

 

[User38]

Cutie! Thank you for your well wishes yet again.. we are hanging on, although today has been rough on my sister -- she needed 2 pints of blood and has been getting this treatment all day so it's been all day at hospital for us.

I am so glad you liked Antigone! It certainly looks beautiful on you

Lightscape is special because it gives the skin a gorgeous radiance and glow without adding colour per se.. there is no pattern to it. Maybe you were thinking about the new Chanel luminous powder?

there is no such thing as a noob question sweetie.. we are all noobs at one thing or another

[User38]

Bis! nice to see you around! missed you! I too was away for a few weeks working again.. grr.

 

[Shypo]

Michelle, I hope you get your goodies soon! I think you will LOVE the Byzance quad!!!

HG, sorry to hear that you had a rough day - stay strong! We're here for you!!

I almost went and purchased MAC's Warmth of Coral but decided against it.
It's a pretty shade but I've read it not showing up on even the lightest people, so...

This week has still been confusing me with my tinted moisturizer. I'm still wondering if the MUA was right and Light would have been better. But it was darker than my neck when I got to the car. Exchanged for the Fair and that was awesome for a week. Now it seems like it's getting lighter on my face. I tossed my receipt a few days after getting it 'cos it was great! I don't want to go back and exchange again without a receipt. I've already done that, aaah. ;_;

I hate face makeup.

 

[Shypo]

It's too bad you're having such challenges with that! I hope you find something that works for you - you should still be able to return it though, unless they have a receipt policy - especially if you're going to exchange it.

Good luck!

 

[Miss QQ]

Hi Cheryl! You bought 2 of the YSL chromatic quads right? Which did you get and what do you think about them? Sorry, talked about them before, but I didn't pay attention. Are they perm? I'm thinking of getting one.

 

[ssaemblog]

Any item that doesn't have a receipt can be exchanged for a different item, I just don't want to be the girl that keeps throwing out receipts and returning stuff without it, haha. ;_; I'm afraid if I return it and get Light, then Light really ends up being wrong too, it'll just.. ugh. DNW bad reputation, haha. Or maybe I should just go for a different brand altogether. I wanted to try Tarte, but I heard mixed reviews about the amount of shimmer.

I just wish I knew why Fair is being silly a week after.

Thanks Cheryl -- they should be arriving tomorrow before noon. I'll have to hold off doing my makeup until it arrives LOL Can't wait
