Chanel Collection Reflets d'Été de Chanel - Summer 2014

"off" - interesting choice of words. It was most certainly was.


I'm glad you were able to try it and didn't end up with something you couldn't use. So sorry New Moon is too much for you. It is gorgeous but if you are uncomfortable, you would not use it and it would be a waste. Maybe you need to ease into sparkle. As for me, I'm totally comfortable. Utopia is the Lilac? Yes it is pretty. I think I may have to get it myself. I just keep thinking maybe I have dupes in my stash and I don't need it. I'm going to pull out all my shades in that family this weekend and make a decision.


So glad you are in good spirits!

Thank you ICL!

Well, the orange glossimer does look that beautiful in the container...not like that photo though. In the promo, it looks like its over a soft pink lipstick or something. I see pink in her cheeks as well.
You might like the orange glossimer. Did you order it?

I had SUNNY on my list but scratched it after the products sheerness was revealed. Unless and until one of you convince me it's a must have, it remains off my list.

If we knew what the model had on her lips under Sunny, I would for sure get both!

Yeah, I think I was bugging the SA with how much I kept going back and forth on New Moon, lol. I'm a neutrals/warm colors kinda gal, so I *loved* the color of New Moon, but the mauvey-brown was almost as deep as the color of my skin, so the shimmer is what stood out most which made me feel self conscious, lol. I shouldn't care, but I kept thinking that if I wore something like that during the day, friends would be wondering where I'm going lol! I rarely go out at night, I'm such a homebody. It is SUCH a lovely color, though.

So is Cheeky. That was my biggest disappointment in terms of it not being dark enough for me; in your pictures, I could see it's the type of nude color that I love. On my inner wrist, I was in love. But my face is darker than that part of my body, so...

Yes, I did a few days ago. Haven't received yet tho.

I know it's so, so pretty!!!

I'm anxious to hear what you think. Did you order the liner? I'm still debating about it.

 

[elegant-one]

TOTALLY...I was thinking if HG were here this and we could really get out of hand. I told hubs and he cracked up too.

OMG - you know it! I'm sure she'll have something to say at some point.

I LOVE being unconventional

New Moon & Mirage are out for delivery. Too bad UPS doesn't arrive till late afternoon, can't wait:shock:

I'm considering the liner too. But it's possible I may have something similar (or close enough) in my drawer full of liners! I'd love to see some swatches with comparisons.

Temptalia has a review of the poopey blush.

It looks good on her.

 

[josephine90]

Poppy blush for me? It looks good on T, but I'm not sure if it's too brown, muddy for me?

It was really really pretty in person. I have a ton of liners, but this one was fairly different. It changes in the light like gold/brown/bronze.

Please, do me a comparison b/w pink tonic and tutti frutti!!!!!!!

I finally had a chance to take some comparison pictures for you. I pulled out quite a few for most polishes, except Sweet Lilac. I don't have as many for that. I haven't narrowed them down to what is the closest yet either.

Pink Tonic is a deep, saturated cool, rosy hot pink that has very slight shimmer while Tutti Frutti is a touch lighter and is a warm, red-coral with golden shimmer. PT's shimmer (along with Sweet Lilac) is hard to capture, it's easier seen IRL.

Here's the Les Beiges Multicolor in N02 on me. Now up on my blog! Enjoy the pics

 

[elegant-one]

Love how it looks. Its very pretty on you.

 

[Dominique33]

Pretty !

I will purchase n°1 and 3 nail polishes, and that's it ! The powders look really good.

Thank you so much for your exhaustive review, I guess all doubts are gone. I am so glad tf is not a dupe although pt is a close relative to the many roses promoted in these years. Great job

Great job

Not a problem, I was glad to help. Please excuse the poor quality, I had to use my point and shoot, because my DSLR is set to take a enormously large file size and my husband wasn't home to adjust it. And I've started my review, but not done yet, lol.
