Oh my! I was worried about & praying for you :heart: I was thinking you would be ok. So scary but I am happy you didn't blow away! We had a huge amount of rain last week & the sewer backed up :shakehead::doh: Fortunately, we have water alarms that let us know immediately. We couldn't get anybody to help us until late the next morning! Oh geesh, no flush, no water....it drove me crazy. We're so used to taking all of our comforts for granted.

Awww, thanks for thinking of me. That is just awful about your sewer backing up! I hope this will be a better week for both of us. :hugs:

I got the 175 Rose palette today. It's subtle but very very pretty. The concealer is ok, a bit too much on the beige side for me but it still works. 180 Rose Petale is over-all a great match for me. But, the 175 blush is a very pretty more natural rose pink shade. 180 blush is more on the pink side. 175 highlighter shade is BEAUTIFUL! It's a rose gold shade with a tiny amount of shimmer. It is beautiful on the skin. 180 highlighter is more white pearl. I love both.

So, I noticed that the concealer & blush have these tiny black fibers on top :( Both palettes have them - the 175 had a bit more. It's probably from the velvet cover. They really shouldn't be there, but they do go away & not a deal breaker for me. I called Chanel & told them but....eh, do they care about anything!??? :confused: Not really. CS said, yeah, the fibers are there sometimes even when you peel the plastic back from the eyeshadows :doh: I told her it's a quality control issue.

Oh, & it's very dark rainy cloudy here. If it clears up, I'll take some pics of both palettes.
Yes, the one I bought had the fibers from the velvet pouch on as well. I did return it...

Geesh, it's so annoying & they just excuse it. They need some quality control for sure...or maybe shut the fan off, or separate the bags from the palettes in the same room.

I got my 170 beige intense palette. I really like it. The concealer is unusable for me because of the shade but I love the sweet rosy red flush the blush gives & the highlighter shade is a very pretty champagne gold.
