I bought this foundation about a year ago as an alternative to my go to Studio Fix Fluid foundation and for the most part I like this foundation, and I always get tons of compliments when I wear...
I have the soft ocher paint pot and I have to say I'm not a big fan. For the price I paid for it I was expecting it to make my eye shadows really pop and keep them from creasing. It did keep them...
Overall, I think this is a great foundation for most people. It's definitely for normal-to-dry skin in my opinion. I have combo skin and my cheeks loved the hydration. However, my T-zone got...
I know it says eye makeup remover, but I use it all over my face to remove makeup.
I would suggest saturating a cotton pad and then placing it over your eye for a few seconds to let the...
This is the best brush hands down. If I lost all of my brushes this would be the first I would go out and repurchase. I use this to place shadows in the crease, to blend colours together. I also...
Did you try going thru the ordering process to see if it charges you Michelle? I just tried buying the lip bag (without completing the process) and it charges me 0 for shipping. You should be fine.
Got my Ravissante. I really like it on! On my lips its a soft slight pink slight burnt coral. I have some menswear sienna colored plaid pencil skirt & cropped trousers that I think this might look great with. Or, my black pajamas
I'm loving these!!! They cover my lips nicely.
I love the pigmentation. Deep and even and opaque. I will say that when I swatched La Sensuelle originally, I thought it looked more brownish, but I'm guessing that was because of the crappy light at that particular counter. It's definitely a pure red shade. I haven't even worn both the shades I bought and I'm already planning to go back for more and wondering when they'll introduce more colours... Eight is definitely NOT enough.

Well, I have been contemplating Sensuelle. In my Macys it looked like a browned red too. Ha, who am I kidding, I will probably end up with it. I agree, I want a lot more colors as I am in total love with the coverage, texture & longwear. I did buy the 2 Asia exclusives though which I realllly like.
You guys, I see Teheran is available on Chanel.com so should I buy it? It looks gorgeous and I've been lusting after it for the longest. Someone online compared to Sari Dore and that worries me b/c I had to return that one. It was too light and it showed up uneven on my lips. Teheran looks darker to me, but opinions are appreciated.

Sounds like it looks pretty different on you than it does on me. So glad you like it!

Oh, good -- I will have to give it a go. Funny how I will spend so much $ on the product, but refuse to pay shipping LOL

Have you tried Mac's Costa Chic or Colour Me Coral? It's a nicer formula than those, but they are kind of similar. Teheran has a pinky/ white sheen that differentiates it and makes it a little cooler (in both senses of the term).
Just ordered the glossimer holiday lip bag -- I cannot wait to get Spark And yay, that Chanel.com is offering the gift boxes now thru mid December (I have like a gazillion of those drawstring pouches).

Thanks a lot Katred. I tried Costa Chic and it was terrible on me. From my memory, I believe it was the formula that made it a tragedy. I'll have to think about this some more.
Right now I have on La Caline and I love it. I had a bit of lip balm on before I applied. I couldn't believe how smooth it went on. When I opened Caline and Raffinee, they looked so similar in the tube, but when I swatched them I could see that Caline has a violet undertone.
I have on all matte makeup today, and I must say, I'm feeling very 1940's-ish -- love!
Wearing Spark today - LOVE it on my lips. I think I will get one for my DIL stocking I already bought her that really cute set of 4 LMdB mini nail polishes.
I'm so happy for you Michelle I wonder if it would show any of the violet on my lips? Winthrop?
Did you get the white & gold box? Ahh, they are so elegant.
Thank you :) It looked more violet swatched on my arm than on my lips. But it still has a violet undertone to it. Who knows how it would look on someone who has pigment in their lips LOL!
I will try out Raffinee tomorrow!
Your DIL is so lucky to have you! She will love the glosses. I didn't feel like waiting for my hubs to order it for me for Christmas, so I went ahead and ordered it

You can actually wait until tomorrow to see?? Ah, you don't want to join the bloody lip club You will love it on.
I love my DIL I'm not one of those cranky _itchy MIL She's appreciative too.
^^LOL, I just tried on Raffinee. I can join the bleeding lips club! I love it -- it is brighter and a touch rosier pink than Caline. Love I need to invest in a good lip scrub so I can pull off these mattes on a regular basis!
Tried out La Fascinante today. I honestly can't say which shade I love more. This one is a perfect pinky cherry red, whereas La Sensuelle is deeper, richer... Love 'em both!
Ok. Here is La Ravissante. I love it. It's like a pinky coral. I think my darker lips help me in this situation. My lips are a bit darker than you would assume for someone with my complexion. The flash makes it a tiny bit brighter than it is in real life, but not by much.
Yep, Shontay that's all you. I can't wear it at all. Corals are funny on me... they sometimes make me look like I'm sick or something. There are very few coral shades that I can actually wear.
Shontay, you look stunning. I agree with Elegant, there is something about that shade that just suits you perfectly. Your skin looks unbelievable, by the way- you should be in ads for that foundation!!!!

Thanks, Katred! You're making me want La Sensuelle. It looks awesome on you.
I was walking through the mall today and my buddy from the Chanel counter in Bloomies saw me. I told her I was coming back around to look at the velvets even though I already have two. Well, after what I spent in Sephora I got the hell out of there!
