I had a roommate in college who looked just like Nicole Kidman (red hair) -- I'm not a huge fan, either of the very blonde Nicole. For a while there, she was using so many fillers and injections, it didn't even look like her. Glad she is looking back to her gorgeous self!!

I agree that Nicole looks best as her natural self. Everyone I know has seen her around town except me. I would like to see how her skin looks in real life. I hear it's just as lovely, much unlike the Faith Hill in magazines and the FH in real life.

Hi Ladies,

Its been a while but all is good here! I had the chance to interview makeup artist Nico Guilis who worked on a short film called "Here" which stars model Agyness Deyn. In the film she used all Chanel products but what fascinated me was that she used bronzer on the eyelid for a natural look. I'll have to experiment with that sometime.
Here is a link to the post: http://www.lacroixthebeautyblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/behind-scenes-beauty-agyness-deyn-for.html

Any of you watch Gossip Girl? Blair is using Chanel here. I wonder what the palette is, it looks huge, and the glossimer, so intense and pretty!

Her makeup looked absolutely perfect and skin beyond flawless. Since it's so big I think it's a mirror like Quennof snark said.

I must admit I'm 49 and have watched GG since it started. And I can't use the excuse that I watch because or with my daughter because she's never watched it and doesn't like these type shows. I love seeing the fashion and all.

Thanks, QoS and shadow, that must be the rectangle mirror we saw at Chanel.com last christmas. I just finished watching GG season 3, and will continue to watch 4. I like season 1 most.

I'm pretty sure they are, although I'm in the US. I know that Tracy from Beauty Reflections has mentioned buying them at the Bay. I have no idea if that will be nearby you, but I do think they're on counters other places as well.

The Bay and Murale have them for certain, although they might not be obvious in the display.

Ooooh! It looks so pretty!
I bought my first Chanel product about a week ago, at the tax free shop at Las Palmas airport. I got an eyeshadow quad (Préelude I think it's called) for the same price as a MAC one would cost me at a regular store at home, so I couldn't resist. Chanel feels so luxurious, I want to buy more!

Mr Mailman brought me something today!

that's so weird...i checked the murale a few times and didn't see them. next time i'll ask one of the salespeople. i have no idea why i haven't in the past...

well, i guess except that i find it extremely intimidating to shop for high end makeup. is that weird?
well maybe it's for the best with regards to my pocketbook....

So, I tried a rouge coco today. I bought Mademoiselle and I love it. I tried them way back when they first came out and hated it because I believe I had the wrong color. This one is beautiful, though and there's a couple more I'll probably go back for. I still prefer the rouge allure formula, but it's OK. Also, I played with Giggle glossimer for the first time and I need that. That's next on the list. I was also surprised that the Flirt Rouge Coco Shine was pretty pigmented. I might have to grab that one up, too. :D
