Did everyone but me know that All Cosmetics Wholesale carries Chanel, or is this new?

I noticed they have Genial if anybody is looking for it.
Oooh, thank you!! That was fun! I put about $220 worth in my cart. They had so many things that I'd love to have: another Genial, waterproof liners, the translucent powder. I'm supposed to be saving for upcoming Chanel collections so I reluctantly walked away (after I wisely bookmarked it that is).

Just an observation: If you stay long enough at the Chanel counter, your husband will eventually say, "Just buy it and let's GO."

Ooops. Seems I bought the new "soft glow blush" the other day....

It was so ridiculously expensive, I have to stay away from the makeup (and possibly food) for a while now. But it made even my post-flu face glow, so I couldn't leave it in the store!
Good enough for a post-flu glow! I love that! I've been waiting for the weather to get a little warmer to use mine, but spring is just around the corner.

That's the most I've ever paid for a blush. With that said I think it was worth every single penny. It is my all time favorite blush nowNow

I just need to find THE perfect highlighter .

I don't know about that with my hubby. He would fall over if he knew what I paid for other brands. He doesn't go shopping with me anyway. It is very rare that we are in a store that sales cosmetics together. Actually I don't know when he was last in a department store.

He did go in MAC and buy me a giftcard at Christmas though. I'm sure he hated it and definitely didn't look at any prices as he thinks I have way too much anyway. I do indeed have more than I could ever use. I need to clear out what I don't use and just buy things that I really love and will use even if they cost more. It would for sure be cheaper in the long run. I have so much that has never been opened like about a dozen pigments most in the old bigger jars.

Does anyone know if there is any way to find a collection of all of Chanel's Featured Looks? I googled it and found one on their site for the Liberte collection, but I didn't know if there was a database or something for all the old featured looks.

Thanks!

I have yet to purchase and keep my first chanel lippie. I really want an everyday pink and and everyday peach. I have been eyin Rouge allure 80 for the peachy color but I don't know which pink is good for me...midtone, yellow based? So far I read the rouge allure l/s and the extrait de gloss are the best. Of course the glossimer but I really want one with some pigment. I really cannot google another chanel shade without your input. It's overwhelming!! any rec's for me?

I'm a big fan of Jersey Rose, which is a lighter warm pink- very springlike. Coquette Rouge Allure is Wonderful too- a little deeper and kind of a coral pink. Up close, Coquette has a little blue shimmer that catches the light and makes it truly unique.

I agree with Katred about Jersey Rose. Very pretty and wearable. Also, Chanel just re-released Magnolia, which is limited edition. It is one of my faves. It is a Rouge Coco, but it feels more like a RA to me. Another favorite of mine is Charme, which is also a RC.
If you want a bright cool pink -- I absolutely love Insolente RA.

oooh thanks for the recs! I googled these colors and they are gorgeous! I love jersey rose its so pretty..but I think it may be too sheer as I have pigmented lips. I am still going to try it along with coquette..all of them were nice.. what about peachy colors? I saw delicieuse and it looked really wonderful....

I have Coquette and Delicieuse. Coquette is my absolute favorite Chanel lipstick (along with Chalys which you might also like). Delicieuse is nice, but more subdued/natural. I love my corals and brights.

Huh, I may need to give Coquette a look some time. I have Hyde Park, Exotic, and Flamboyante...is Coquette different enough from those three to warrant a purchase?

It sure is. I own all of those (though, I don't know where Exotic is at the moment). It's more pinky, but still coral. I just love it. :love:
