Definitely doll!!! I feel really really obsessed too Winthrop - are you?

Of course!!

I tried on the sample of Raffinee today, and it is a little darker on me. Now I'm only left with Fascinate to try. Of the three samples I tried I like Exuberante most, and also I like Distinguee which I bought.

Michelle - I'm so excited for  you to get the lip bag!

I've been playing with my RAVs for a couple of days. While they are a wee bit drying on me (the weather has gotten colder here, so that probably has something to do with it), I'm happy to balm my lips and enjoy the divine texture and colour.

 

I put my review and swatches of the five I tried on here:

I'm not sure which one I want to try next. I'm stopping myself from getting La Somptueuse, because buying all three reds would just be silly... Right???

 

Great review and they all look gorgeous on you! I agree with you about the dryness, as I have dry lips and being in air-con room makes them worse. Do you find applying lip balm prior to the velvets will make them go on unevenly?

lol! Hope you solve the mystery of the white bag. The more elusive it is, the more we want it. And you don't have to try out the EL moisturizer for me, I got a sample of it too. So sweet of you! 

elegant and cheryl - Do you use the Idealist serum daily, day and night? I read somewhere that we can't use serum daily, but I don't know, I've never use any serum before, only tried some samples from chanel which only lasts a week or so. 

Do i need RC shine in aventure if i have evasion? 

^^ Exactly Miss QQ. And now the darn white bag has reminded me of that cute keychain that you got several years ago...I still want that!

I can only go by what I've seen on me and in photos, but I think that these shades are generally flattering to a range of skin tones. I suspect that, despite being opaque, they'll look different on different complexions because they generally have both warm and cool notes in them. At least they're permanent, so rather than catching fire, maybe your credit card can just kind of smolder for a while...

Thanks -- I can't wait to get the lip bag this week!  Yes, I hope Elegant find the elusive white bag!

It is funny how obsessed we can get about something!  Hope you track it down

Yep. Evasion is peachy pink and Aventure is a blue pink. Aventure is one of my faves!

I hope you do find at least one shade you like because they're really nice texture-wise!

Agreed! I tried most of them on and the only one that seems cool-toned is La Sensuelle (which should still be good on both warm and cool tones). The colours are mostly deep and deeper shades are universally flattering. I actually wish they had MORE cool shades, lol!

Wow, if I had known what a stir the white bag would've caused I would've tried to finagle another one. Apparently it was a Nordstrom exclusive to trend show.

Where is elegant? Maybe they had to drag her away and lock her up for refusing to leave without a white bag.

MissQQ - Well, that is interesting about the serums..hmmm I hadn't heard that but would like to know if that is true. I do use the Idealist & the Vissionaire every day. And I too obsessed over your key chain 

Winthrop -

Monsy - I agree with Winthrop on Aventure :)

Michelle - on our obsessions...plural

Ok, I bought the Holiday lip bag with Spark in it for my DIL for Christmas @ Nordies. The Chanel lady said she would try to see if she can locate the elusive white bag for me, but who knows Should I hold my breath

My Nordies didn't even get the Velvets yet. She said they were a bit ticked by it. So I went to the Saks there & they had them. The lady started telling me all about them I was like yeah I kinda know...& I am wearing Ravissante. So I came home & ordered Sensuelle from chanel.com. It looked like a fuchsia/berry/slight plum based deeper red that would be so pretty lightly blotted or full on.

I just love these velvets big time. We ate dinner & Ravissante was still on my lips perfectly & none of it was on my white coffee cup

Almost! I just kept nagging her about it & told I am lusting over it bad. But other stores have it yada yada yada....nag nag nag

Oh, & I upped the anty from the $3 hairpin last time...I bought a $12 Rhinestone hairpin this time

And, I was just shopping at a great site where I've purchase some great handbags, wallets & lingerie & they're having a sale & free shipping...www.bagshop.com

I hope she finds you a white bag but no, please don't hold your breath.  We need you here. Sensuelle sounds very pretty, and your DIL is a lucky lady getting the Spark bag.

Now all of you have me thinking about this white bag, and I haven't even seen it yet.  LOL! 

Edit: I saw the pic on the other thread and like the holiday lip bag more.  Thankfully for my wallet.

I did cave and order the lip bag and the eye bag.  I am going to try to be good and give the eye bag to my mom as part of her Christmas present.  (Wonder how long that will last.)

   Who knows what will happen. The lighting was better in Saks than what is was in Macys so I thought Sensuelle looked really pretty both light & darker applications. I figured that for just a little bit more, I might as well buy her the whole kit. That bag has the most adorable little gold snowflake charm with the CC logo in the center of it on the zipper.

You know, I spent almost $200 on Chanel at Macys & got a little tube of soap  ...but then at Nordies you could spend half of that & get that gorgeous unique white bag  

Oh, & I did the reverse with the eyeshadow look today...root ccb, & For Effect in the crease,,,LOVE! I did the copper MES  zipper just above the eye but you could probably use BL instead

QueenofSnark -- ha -- what -- you didn't think to pick up an extra 20 white bags for all of us crazy Chanel ladies??  LOL

Elegant -- woot on the $12 hair pin!  Hopefully they can track down the elusive white bag for you!

 I didn't know the keychain left a big impression. I just checked my drawer to make sure it is still there! I love it. 

elegant - The lip bag is a great gift for your DIL! Yeah we should all get the white bag, and not random tiny samples that we have no use of.

Oh, I hope you girls are able to find the white bag!!  If I run across any extras, I'll post (I have a very resourceful mua......).......

I ordered L'Elegante from eBay - couldn't resist the color!!

No, my counter doesn't have the velvets yet.  I'm hoping I can see them in NYC this week if I can get a few minutes to myself.

Did anyone get La Furtive?  It looked like a pretty nude color -- but I can't remember with all of the names who got that one!

HG has it. I have one coming from a very nice MUAer in Singapore but am not sure how soon it'll get here. Possibly this week, but maybe next.

On the already infamous white bag....one of my Nordstroms claims they are having some event in early Dec where they will have it but it will be very limited, and the other is having an event this Fri & Sat but she will need to call me back re whether the gift is "the white bag".

Winthrop, you'll have to let us know how you like La Furtive. I almost ordered it last night with L'Elegante, but I was afraid it didn't have enough pink in it to show up on my 'Saran wrap' lips .

Gail -- if that Nordies has the white bag -- can you let me know and message me with the phone number?  Then I can call in an order and have it shipped.  Oh my, I am obsessed LOL
