Collection Superstition (Fall 2013)

[khhmakeup]

my chanel gal discouraged me from picking them up so I haven't. She says that *on her* they feel weird and sit on her skin. She is kinda funny for a saleslady. She dislikes the glosses and the sheer lipsticks cus they don't have good lasting power. Problem is we are very similar in what we look for ~ not just coloring, age, personal style etc but preferences. The few times I have ignored her suggestion I regret it. Not sure if it is me second guessing myself or what. Last winter she said I should go with the plum blush instead of star dust and I went for stardust. A few months later I had to pick up plum and haven't worn star dust more than once. But I won't mess with her commission by returning it.... not her bad I didn't listen to her in first place......

I had arm swatched the blushes and liked the colors but I have learned my lesson. I hope I don't get skippers remorse

I would hate for you to get skippers remorse! Why don't you just ask her to apply one of the blushes and then decide for yourself? I personally love them, I don't find they sit on the skin at all.

Strange question ladies, maybe I should put it in the summer collection forum: did your eyeshadow stylos go moldy? Mine ( I just noticed today) are beginning to grow white hard crud around it, it picks off but i'm kind of disgusted. I've made sure they're shut properly after use unless all three for whatever reason did not get shut properly once.

I haven't noticed anything on mine. Not even on some of the ones I've had for a while. I hope that doesn't happen.

Maybe it is like the "snow" on Mac lusters and has to do with the formula and the weather? I'm in Texas. So in other words, a blazing hot humid inferno

Apparently Inglot 344 is a dupe for MAC Quarry and Haux (very similar) and Hasard is very close to them both. On my blog I Swatched them amongst one another http://khhmakeup.blogspot.ca/2013/08/chanel-fall-2013-superstition-collection.html . Here is the picture:

On top is M.A.C Quarry, in the middle is Chanel's Hasard, and on the bottom is M.A.C Haux

and I found a swatch of Inglot 344 against MAC Haux here: http://looksleeknotcheap.blogspot.ca/2012/03/mac-inglot-comparison.html

Hope that helped a little?

I did some good shopping today! I finally have gotten some nice new clothes (3 new pairs of jeans and 3 shirts). I especially needed some new jeans. They had 15% off on the jeans and I also had a coupon for €7,50 off so that was very nice.

I also wanted to shop for some Chanel and I got a new tube of the Sublime de Chanel mascara. They had 40% off on all mascaras in one of the parfumery chains, so that was just perfect. I then went to another parfumery, which is one of my favorites in the city where I live. There is one lady that basically always helps me. She's very helpful and sweet. This parfumery had 20% off on all Chanel so this was really the day of the perfect deals for me

I got Inspiration cream blush, Rendez-Vous and Esprit RCS (funny thing is all my new clothes I got from Esprit) and Audacieuse RA from the Moiré collection. I was planning on getting the Présage cream blush, but I went with Inspiration instead, because I have more colours like Présage. They didn't have Esprit in stock, but the nice lady called another store from the same chain in the city and they did have it. She then went there herself to get it. It was only two streets away, but I still think that was great customer service. When she got back she also made a nice giftbag for me. I got samples for the Volume de Chanel, Perfection Lumière, some RCS and the Hydra Beauty eye gel and sérum and last but not least I got this cute makeup bag.

Here is a picture where I'm wearing Rendez-Vous on the lips. I love love love it!

Ow and when I got home a Sugarpill package was waiting for me, so I don't think this day could have been any better!

Wow! That is excellent service! Your SA was like a personal shopper for you. Sounds like you had a great day. It's good that you got some clothes. I felt good buying some clothes last week even thought it cut into my makeup budget. I tend to skip clothes in favor of my other hobbies.

Thanks I had a great day ideed! She was indeed like a personal shopper. I also skip clothes in order to buy makeup, so I was really happy how quick and how much I was able to get. I got this one pair of jeans that is beige with small gold fibres running all over it. It's hard to describe, but so pretty! It also goes perfect with turquoise tops and that's my favorite colour for tops. Great that you got new clothes too!

I'll skip on clothes for great make-up and great brushes.
Boots, though, are another matter.

RV looks as though it was made with you in mind.

Well, I'm not too different from you. Purses are my other hobby.

Me too!

Pinkdollface - You look so lovely! What a great shopping time. Enjoy your new goodies. And yes, that was incredible customers service.

Hey, I'm a bag lady, too! Also, I have a million pairs of shoes. Flats. Victoria Secret, Nine West, Tory Burch fancy flats. My dad calls them Cinderella shoes. :lol:

Aww, that's so cute that your dad calls them that

Me too on the shoes as well. I leave some of them in their boxes & stack them - then I forget what I have. I opened 2 boxes the other day & found some awesome wedges that I bought on the sale rack at Nordies

geesh, I could have been wearing these all summer.

I bought 3 pairs of those Tory Burch flats too.

I keep a lot of mine in the box, too. I have some in a corner in my room, some in a closet and some under my bed. They're going to take over the entire place in a little while. :lol:

Yep, I stash them in all those places too. I also forget about the stash under the beds

You ladies should take a photo of your shoes and then tape them to the outside of the box so you can see them when they're stacked. (Don't worry. I'm not this organized in my own life.)

OMGosh that is such a GREAT idea! Thanks. It may take awhile

 

[MissTT]

You could also just find a pic of them online and print it out so you don't have to unbox everything. All of the shoe info is usually on the box.

That would make it easier, but I'm lucky that 99% of my shoes are in their box and they have little pictures on the outside already. Plus, I keep my absolute favorite and often worn pairs separate from the others. Well, I try at least. Sometimes I come home and just throw them anywhere until I'm settled.

You have perfect skin and You are "porcelain doll" beauty type, so every shade looks just perfect on You. This is very subtle, girly effect.
For me no more make up till the end off this year.
