Yay! Get onboard with D&G. I can't believe how good the lipsticks are. The creamy foundation is really good, too. I hate that I have to order from Saks b/c their shipping costs are out of control! I don't feel like making the trip to the store in NY. You'd think Neiman's would carry it.

I have tons of stories, but I try to leave them out or else I'll end up writing a novel. People are hilarious/frustrating/unbelievable. If they could see themselves, maybe they'd quit it.

lol.gif Oh, I love that expression. I use it often, myself. Well, at least you got in some retail therapy!

Come on over to the dark side. It's fun over here.

Oooh, can I post pictures of them? Maybe I should. I would never want to hijack the Chanel thread, but...sneaky.gif

It was a real shock hearing that come out of her mouth - LOL.  Picture a sophisticated woman, in a power suit, who is always politically correct, etc.....

 

I may not make it until the weekend.  I may go to the mall tomorrow.  I keep asking the IT guys & gals if, when and how they are going to fix this mess.  They keep saying "We don't know."

Yup. If your own IT crew doesn't know how to fix the problem, then that's a perfect description of the situation.

I like the look of Natural Monica but I'm sticking to my lipstick list of 2 FNO lippies and the Dior Star fushia.

 

The train stops at 3 lippies lol

Nice! I asked for it at my counter but they didn't have it.

Elegant - the four colours look gorgeous on your skin! Is Enjouee close to Genial?

Winthrop - Enjoy Enjouee!

I have Genial and it's a reddish coral on me, whereas Enjouee looks like it's more of a pinky coral. smiles.gif

Which reminds me, it's been months since I last used that one! oh.gif

Doesn't stop me from wanting more RA's... -_-

I finally have the new RA in Extatique. Oh my God. It's so pretty! And the whipped texture is just so awesome. 

 

It's a brighter, fresher, younger, more fun cousin of Insolente. But Insolente still has a place in my heart. I hope they don't discontinue that.

 

I also have Seduisante. It's a soft pink. Pretty too, but Extatique is just gorgeous!

 

When I came to the counter, the SA actually suggested Extatique to me before I even looked for it. She said, it's the one that suits me.

 

Saw Exaltee too. Nice, in-your-face fuchsia. Same color as Maybelline Fifth Ave Fuchsia.

 

Palpitante is a gorgeous red, which I can never do justice to. :D

Anyway, do you girls think Extatique may be quite similar to YSL RPC Fuschia Innocent?
Elegant-one's description of a bubble gum pink with raspberry and purple tones seems quite fitting here too.
For reference, this is ysl rpc #27:

http://headsolight.com/2011/07/26/ysl-27-soft-fuchsia/
I was actually decided to get Extatique, but reviewing my stash, and growing more calm now, I may have similar ysl shade. Would it still be reasonable for me to get Extatique.

Hi Tin!


I finally have Extatique, and yeah, they do look kinda similar.

 

That's a gorgeous shade, btw.

Hmmm, I'm kind of loving it!  That color would be gorgeous with smokey eyes.  Is Saks the only online retailer that sells D&G (bummer for the big shipping charge)?  Adding to my list!!

Michelle, you can get 6% off on Saks right now if you use Ebates and I *think* possibly if you sign up for their e-mails you might get a one-time use code for free shipping, not sure. They do have free shipping at any price with a code on rare occasion, so keep checking.

If the e-mail doesn't give you a free shipping code the site might still offer one for Labor Day and the current one for a $150 purchase expires today.

Hey Chel! Thanks! Now I'm down to one - must. Have. Palpitante.

Btw, where are you?? You don't mean to say... We already have the new Rouge Allures? oh.gif it's been forever since I last visited a chanel counter, this will certainly mean that it's time to rekindle my relationship with our local Chanel! Haha

When I signed up for the email notification, it said I would get a 10% off on my next purchase.  I'll see if they're offering free ship on Monday and then use my 10%off.  Wahoo!  Now I want the Pink Sapphire D&G gloss that I saw on Beauty look book a while ago, too.  And so it begins . . .

I ordered Inimitable tonight from Chanel's website since Nordstrom doesn't have it. I also picked up Diwali, Sky Line and June nail polishes. I'm quite surprised with the number of Chanel polishes I've ordered this week. It all started with Rouge Noir. I learned about it a few weeks ago and became obsessed with tracking it down. Once I found and ordered it, all hell broke lose! devil.gif

 

I went from 0 Chanel polishes to 10 in a week's time. I was extremely proud of sticking to my self-imposed limit of $5 or less for nail polish. I got my first and only OPI polish back in June only because I had a coupon that made it fit within my $5 limit. How in the world do I jump from $5 to $26 for nail polish?!  Maybe I'll have the answer to that question figured out by the time my polishes arrive next week.

 

Rouge Noir

Distraction

Provocation

Infidèle

Délicatesse

Sky Line

Diwali

June

Black Pearl

Holiday

Hey I offered you my spare RN...  I am looking forward to Malice and will be picking up a Pirate Duo on the 8th during a local event.  Sky Line tempts me so much but I really don't believe I will wear it.  

 

I am so frustrated I cannot get a tube of expressive.  Driving me nuts.  It keeps showing up on site and going into my cart but when it comes time to checkout it my cart is empty even tho the total owed displays the proper amount.

You did? Sorry. I must've missed that post, but thanks for offering it to me.

 

Maybe you can call and order it over the phone to confirm you're getting it.
