I tried that once, to get a hold of a quad I couldn't find here. But after shipping and duty, the total was close to $100!

I've never paid shipping. They have free ship codes all the time. It's Fed Ex too. They just charge the same 13% tax and duty is only 7%. So US price + 20%. Way cheaper then CDN + 13%!!
Rouge Cocos end up being $36 instead of $43.

This movie was released a few months ago. I wanted to watch it but when I had time for it, it wasn't screening anymore.
It's about her relationship with the musician. I think I will like it, because music and beauty are my two favourite things. Tell us when you have watched it!

Hello, ladies!
I just got back from a short cruise, and I dropped off at Phuket, Thailand for a few hours. Went into a big mall which had beauty counters and I went to Chanel, of course.
They had a thick brochure titled, Lipstory and while the names are in English, the descriptions are in Thai, which I cannot read. It introduces:
Rouge Coco
RA extrait de gloss, RA and RAL
Aqualumiere l/s and gloss
Levres Scintillantes aka glossimer
Soin Tendre Levres (balm)
and Le Crayon Levres (pencil)
It must be newly printed because it has extrait de gloss, but surprisingly, there is Aqualumiere gloss too. Maybe it will not be discontinued so soon?
The brochure is printed on hard glossy paper and it's very beautiful.

Sounds interesting. It's possible the Aqualumieres are just being d/c'd here in the US/Canada market, but not worldwide.

My MA tried it on her lashes and it looked great. She is WOC and it showed up very well on her so I'm assuming it will really pop on lighter complexions. She told me that she liked this color for those with lighter hair and the purple looked best with those with darker hair but anyone could wear either one. I was considering getting the rouge noir myself. You can always layer it over black mascara to tone it down some.

Did you do some special shopping?!

I have the purple one, but black hair and lashes. It's subtle, but still makes my eyes pop.

I did ask them to let me know when they got Particuliere in (but ended up getting it from Holt's) and also Incognito RA l/s. So it may be either of those two, or could even be to preview the holiday stuff?!
Not sure, but I'll keep you posted!
