I made my first (ever) Chanel purchase today. Three things from the spring collection-- Nakkar Glossimer, Espiegle blush, and the Black Pearl nail polish. I wanted Bikini Peach gloss too, but decided to get Nakkar because it would be nice to wear on a Valentine's Day date. :)

How cool! I hope you love them. Did you order them online or did you pick them up at the store? let us know what you think when you try them out.

Strix -- Yay for your first Chanel purchase!! Not to enable or anything (ha!) -- but if you're loving Bikini Peach, you may want to pick it up as it is Limited Edition. It has been sold out on the website for a while -- I had to call a Nordstrom in a neighboring state and they sent one to me. It is pretty for summer!

Enjoy your new goodies!!

I got them in the store, but I haven't gotten the chance to play with them yet. I'm going to open all of the boxes tomorrow-- I'll let you all know what I think!

Thanks for letting me know about Bikini Peach-- I didn't realize it was limited edition. It does look like an awesome summer color, and very wearable.

And I'm so glad to hear that Espiegle is a wearable peach for those of us that can't normally wear peachy colours! I think I've had a pink overload and find myself reaching for more bronze or peachier pink shades lately. I've also decided to add Black Pearl n/p to my list, but pass the peach l/s.
Me too, the Espiegle! Peach blushes turn orange on me. I have MUFE HD cream blush in #14, which is a peach too! It's gorgeous and doesn't turn orange on me, but I'm prefer powder to cream blush.

Congrats on your first Chanel purchases Strix! I'm sure it is the first of many! Chanel is very addicting but luckily extremely satisfying as well and we are such good enablers on here

I'm surprise to see that Gabriele and Flamboyante swatched so close in Cafe Makeup. Gabriele is on my maybe list. I wonder if they look close on the lips though. If they are close I would get Flamboyante since it is sheerer and easier to wear.

Dear Wallet,
You have been there with me thru thick and thin. I appreciate your faithfulness and loyalty. Without you, my makeup collection would be nothing. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize in advance for the pain I will soon inflict upon you but know that better times are on the horizon. Please know that I still love you. Thanks for your contributions to keeping me pretty :)

Love,
Lora

I was surprised too. I didn't realized Flamboyante was "that" red. I'm happy though because Gabrielle was on my wish list too so I feel comfortable leaving it there indefinately now since I'll be receiving Flamboyante in the mail any time now. Hopefully today!!! Fingers are crossed that my goodies will be waiting for me when I get home!

Got my Chanel goodies a couple of days ago - haven't had a chance to play yet, but I must say, Espiegle is the new IT girl. Love the quad, love the quint!!! Lippies are cool too, but they're in the backseat of the bus at the moment.

I also got my Mally goodies, and I ordered the UD Naked Palette which should be here any day. It's been such a rave I have to see what the fuss is about.......
