I've missed you too! I went to Philadelphia to visit my college roommate. It was so fun! Her husband flew me out as part of her birthday present. And, I turned her into a Chanel addict!! I bought her a Chanel lipstick, glossimer and nail polish and she about flipped out
How are you doing?? Loves to you

Yep, I think it will be easier to navigate all of the info. When it first moved I was like "uh, oh -- where'd everyone go?? LOL But then I realized we could still chat in this thread!!

Agreed! I have a ton of MAC and use it all the time -- but every time I pull out Chanel -- I feel a little fancy

To me Chanel always comes first... but I always try to make a budget for my MAC because there are things you get there you'll never have with Chanel. I'm on the fence with VV because there's so much I want but if I get it all I'd have to skip Soho and I'm not willing to do that.

Make your Chanel wishlist and then you can go back and forth between what you really want from MAC and what you want from Chanel. I have a running list going at all times LOL I have soooo much MAC and I love it, but it makes it easier for me to save up for Chanel. If there are some great LE items from MAC I'll get them or even some things from the perm line -- but I find myself wanting more Chanel quads and glossimers!!

I purchase and wear mostly Chanel but I always find myself falling into MAC's limited edition, better get it now before it disappears, every body's getting it hype!!
Dunno why I do that. I try to buy only what I love from MAC. But Chanel just works for me, I rarely return/exchange Chanel. I've just recently purchased my first RA and it's pure love but still pre-ordered VV lippies which are in the same color family.
I have to admit MAC's color selection out does Chanel (at least IMO)

When I got back into this wearing-make-up-daily period of my life a few months ago I had just two eyeshadows, one concealer and one lippie (not even mascara!). I got very excited about MAC and collections but, fortunately, I bought the items I wanted wisely and the few ones I bought in a hype I just swapped them all. Now I find myself in a weird situation cause I am no longer interested in soooo many things from MAC and willing to get more and more stuff from Chanel (It's RA in Genial and Particuliere's fault that I am in this mood
).
Now my wishlist is mostly full of Chanel items and sometimes a MAC one pops in (I skipped FF, I am skipping VV and waiting for Erin's update on TT and CP to check if I skip those too

Evening girls!
Aaahh! Been so busy with work, too busy, feeling far too stressed. But the good news is that we're one week away from getting the house! We did actually have an opportunity to see it last week, and we're pretty pleased with how everything turned out!
I am really enjoying this sub-forum, it's nice to pop into all the different threads! Especially this one!

Thanks so much for the support ladies! We are going to move in over the course of a week, since the kids are in school, don't want to do it mid-week. But that'll give me time to give the house a good cleaning and get the kitchen stocked up before we get in.
Michelle, I can't help you with Dunes, as far as I know, this one isn't available in Canada. But from the pictures I have seen, it looks really pretty, and I like the name of it!
I totally understand getting obsessed with a product though! I felt like that with Rose Bronze JC after seeing it on Sienna Miller. Luckily, Karin hooked my up!

I just want to say how much I love all these new faces that are coming out of the woodwork now that we have the forum. People are seeing Chanel as more accessible.

Hey, I was wondering where the other parts to the Holiday collection are
Its weird that they only did some of it.
