Les Essentiels de Chanel - Fall 2012

Gorgeous!

 

Ooh, thank you so much for sharing this! I have been dying to see the fall promo pics. The fall collections are always my favorite. I like what I see there, but it also looks like it will be a cheap haul for me. I know I want Frenzy n/p and probably Vertigo, and maybe a lip product, a RCS or the RA Extrait de Gloss in Caprice. The silver Stylo Yeux sounds nice too.

The promo pic looks very 90's to me. I love the model's hair color.

The only I don't like much is the stripe-y design of the e/s / powder, I wish they would've come up with something different after having so many striped products already.

Gorgeous! I always fall hard for Chanel fall collection. Love the promo pic, it is so beautiful! Love the Lumière d’Artifices Beiges, Chanel has done an LE eyeshadow with sequins imprints before but I passed. I want the JC and quad too. Frenzy and Vertigo np look promising. I'm not feeling the lippies but they look like they go very well with the collection. I haven't bought any of the summer collection and I'm glad, I just want the summer duo and shall wait for this collection!

Looking at these shades I can tell they're definitely for cooler tones--I think they'll wash me out. Money saved!

Uh, thanks for posting this, love it. Seems brown lips are back.
The grayish extrait de gloss looks very interesting, so does the blush.

Gorgeous collection § I wanted to save money next fall,  well, next year !

Thanks for posting.

Nail polishes look great, I'll def get the "almost black with red pearl" sounds fun. I'm a maybe on the quad, and maybe on the gloss.

Her eyes look stunning.

The hair feels a bit retro to me too, but I like it.

Loving this:

Gail, thanks for posting!   I am dying to see swatches of the new JC and the Caprice RAEdeGloss.  Quad looks pretty, too

I completely agree. I looked at that ( the lips especially) and felt like I was back in high school and should be wearing some flannel, hehe.

 

Of course, that doesn't mean that I won't buy a whole bunch of Chanel when it comes out. Waiting to see the swatches!! 

Thanks for the info! Nothing really catches my eyes now. Maybe with more swatches though!

It looks very 90's indeed! Reminds me of Marcia Cross when she was in Melrose Place, he he.

But anyway. I love the look of the quad and the blush, and that peachy eyeshadow single!

Interesting that you were all reminded of th 90s, to me she looks like a brunette Bardot with dark lipstick. They eyes are very sixties to me.

She reminds me of Vanessa Paradis in a way, well what a gorgeous fall collection, really beautiful ! The quad, blush, powders, nail polishes everything sounds great !

Thanks for posting

Ok, there are quite a few things from this collection that peak my interest. The polishes, the quads and the glosses.

oh thanks for posting, I was just thinking of making a post about this!!!!

 

I am in love with this collection so far.....it intrigues me.

 

The promo pic is beyond gorgeous....

Now I wonder when the line will hit stores?  In the USA?

I wonder too. Let's hope it will be internationally launched.

As the mini collection Bombay is concerned, do you know if it's for the US only or.. ? well I don't know !

I like all of the products, but the overall color scheme of this collection may turn out hideous on me b/c of my skintone.  I will definately need to try/swatch these products before purchase, especially the lip products.  The only items that I can safely buy online are the nps, but only the black polish is calling my name right now.

We've seen these pics of the Chanel Fall Collection already, but I figured that maybe you all might be interested in some other brands fall collections!

Thanks for posting, it's beautiful ! Love it all except Givenchy as usual, Estée Lauder waouh what colours and Lancôme is pretty too !

I love fall and vampy lips so I'm excited already :D I want the RC and the darker EDG and that black n/p which sounds hawt!

Thanks for the info Gail! The polishes look promising, as well as the JC. In the other hand, I am not very interested in the lip products by now (of course, I will have to eat my own words once the swatching marathon beings )

Probably there won't be just one Rouge Coco... Promising but very bad for our wallets I am afraid !

already busted I fear !

Oh my... I'm completely in love with the model's makeup and the shades look like they were ripped from my dreams. (Yes, I actually do have dreams about makeup...) The powder/ shadow actually reminds me a lot of Edward Bess Quad Royale "South of France" (making faces :: a mediterranean escape with edward...), but maybe a bit warmer. I already keep Edward in my makeup bag at all times, because I find it's the most incredibly useful and versatile thing I own if I need to change/ refresh quickly. If it's really similar, I don't know if I want to spend so much on it, but on the other hand, there is something appealing about a product that can cover multiple functions. 

 

So far, I'm interested in...

 

Lumiere d'Artifices Beiges

Rose Initiale

Furtif

Complice

Infini (maybe- I find that a lot of silver shadows look more or less the same)

Noir (maybe- same reasons as above, but I do need a good matte black)

Caractere

Caprice

Troublant

Vertigo (I need this. It's one of my favourite movies plus I actually have the condition!)

Frenzy

 

I'm definitely doomed. I mean, not only do I really love Fall collections in general, but this year seems to slant a bit cool-toned, which is perfect for me (sorry QoS!). Now, against my better judgment, I'm going to look at the link that has all the different collections. If you hear a loud, piercing cry in the near future, that's my wallet. 

Hey ladies!

 

I have to agree wtih everyone that the models make-up looks 90's ish. I would say early 90's, as lips started to lighten up towards the end.  I had a MAC lipstick called Verve (maybe?) that looked a lot like that lipstick on the model.  That was back in the day when I only owned about 3 lipsticks total!  The beige glossimer looks really pretty though, I bet that'll look really nice on people with pigmented lips.  The grey/lilac (going by the description) nail polish is nice too, but not sure how that would look on olive skin.

 

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

Haven't been on all that much lately, but things are okay on my end.  The house has been coming along (we're starting to add punches of colour now!), the kids' are great, work has gone from bad to worse (sort of new manager has really proved now that she has no soul), but baseball season has started for the kids, and that's keeping us busy (I'm coaching my daughter's tball team!).  And that in a nut shell is a complete update, lol!

^^Hi! Miss you! Sorry to hear about the bad new manager at work. Have fun coaching the kids. I think the beige glossimers is a repromote and the ladies who bought it like it.

I'm happy that many of us are excited about this collection! Now there's something to look forward to at the end of summer!

Haven - Why do you say the colours may not look good on you? Are they too cool-tomed/brown?
