So exhausted, but need to wind down before bed!

I'm so excited to see what Khaki Rose looks like irl! The fall weather is kicking in here, after a super hot summer and I'm all in the mood now for muted and deeper shades.

I think your best bet for getting a Beiges de Chanel quad at this point would be swapping for one on MUA. There is one up for swap right now. Another idea would be to call the major dept stores and ask them to do a search of all their stores for you. Nordstrom told me I got the last one of theirs, and that was probably about a year ago now (I since swapped that one), so I'd think that would be a real long shot. Good luck, I know what it's like to look for something after it's long gone!

Funny because since I bought Les Pop, To the Beach and my BBSB in Nectar it's been rainy, cloudy and cold so I'm ready for some hot and sunny days!!

It's really hard to find since it was released for US only. I have a friend who is looking for it too!!

Miss QQ, have you been able to check out Pink Cloud yet? I'm wondering if it doesn't show up color-wise if it at least looks glowy on?

^^ Is Excessive brighter than Cambon? Am I right to think Cambon is more pink? Which is a more wearable red?

I have Pink Cloud. It is a pale, white pink peach with gorgeous ultra fine silver and pink shimmers. Colourwise, it looks very close to the pink in Enigma, but the pink in the quad is much more shimmery and has a sheen. When I put Pink Cloud on my checks, only the shimmers show.

On the topic of blush, I'm now back to applying blush right after foundation, before loose powder. However, the foundation changes the colour of the blush, making them warm. When I apply them after loose powder, they fade in a few hours time.

Emoi looks amazing at makeupcafe. I love the shade!

I have Confidence, Insolence and Liberte and I thought I would love Confidence most because I love Ming but no. I don't like Confidence much, I wish I bought Emoi, Imaginaire or Exces. Even Fatale will be good. I hope to pick up these 4 four.

And today, I wore Insolence with just some powder and Rose Petale and my friend complimented that the lip colour looks good! She said it brightened my face!

I tried on Sycamore at Nordie's on Saturday - I liked it ok - I ended up buying the last Camelia RC they had. I am so surprised by all of the colors available - my Nordie's and Macy's don't have nearly that many in stock! I must find somewhere to check these out! Probably a trip to Boston is in order.......-

Shypo could you tell me if Sycamore is super frosty? It is the only shade like it in the RC line and I have no way to see it in person but some of the pics I've seen online make it appear quite frosty. Thanks!

They both have pink in them but Excessive is more blue-toned than Cambon. They're both quite bright compared to what I usually wear, but somehow they're both very wearable. I did sheer out Excessive when I tried it on yesterday. It's pretty much the same tone as Exces, so if you want Exces anyway that would be a good way to see if you'd like Excessive.

As in you can see the actual shimmer particles on your cheeks in the sun?

How long does Chanel keep their limited edition products up on the site? I just noticed that Nouvelle Vague is missing.

Congrats! I'm happy to hear you like it as well. Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow and I can't wait. I hope I don't get too shy to wear it out, I've only worn my MAC red once.

I want Pink Cloud so badly!!

My SA told me Chanel was releasing a Bicentennial of Mexico's Independence (which it's today!!
pompom.gif
) commemorative collection... I'm wondering if Chanel would truly design a collection for the Mexican market only.

Is it the Pink Asia Exclusive Collection being renamed and launched here with a different name??
th_dunno.gif
Alma (my SA) told me the collection was mostly pink shades

... Am I just wishful thinking??

Hopefully not!!! Cause, dear, Pink Cloud truly sounds yummy the way you describe it.

I jus crossed my fingers for that Mexico's exclusive Chanel collection, so maybe with a bit of this e-luck, Pink Cloud will be release there and you'll enjoy it so much (and we will enjoy your swatches
w00t.gif
)

I will be stopping by Chanel tomorrow since I have decided I need RAL in Santal and the fall collection mascara. I am going to get a RC for my mom (I guess this may be a spanish tradition only, but it was Saint María's day 4 days ago, and her name is that, so we do some presents to "celebrate" ... kinda
tong.gif
), maybe Orchidee since she is into bright pink /fuchsia lipsticks a lot.

Then I don't need anything else, but I am in love with RAL in Phoenix, RC in Mademoiselle and I am willing to try a glossimer (I own no gloss, not from Chanel not from any other brand). I'd be looking for some natural shade, not so sparkly but noticeable somehow, any suggestions? Maybe Wild Rose?

I found it to be pretty frosty. It was just ok. Were you also asking about whether Legende is frosty? On me it isn't - more of a luminous look than frost or shimmer. I keep it in my bag as it's the perfect shade for just throwing something on. I'm NW25 on most days, with not-very-pigmented lips.

And I MUST have Pink Cloud!!! Somehow, some way.

Congrats, Eugenia, on the new commemorative collection! Sounds amazing!!

Oh thank you hun!! You're so sweet!! Let's cross fingers together!!

Meanwhile, I'm a bit sick and couldn't make it to my counter, hope I'll get there next Saturday!! Alma promised to show me her update book and then I'll find out if Pink Cloud it's coming my way or not!!

We do that here as well, it's called "dia de tu santo" (day of your saint)!! It's part of our spanish heritage. It's less frequent nowadays, but time ago it's was a big deal. My mother in law, who is 81, used to celebrate her saint's day bigger than her birthday!! For women named Guadalupe (after virgin María de Guadalupe, one of the saints Mexico's consecrated to) it's still a huge celebration.

I definately recommend Pink Teaser glossimer from the Fall collection!!! It is nicely pigmented, very natural looking and has a nice subtle shimmer, not crazy glitter like a lot of the glossimers have.
