Happy Birthday! Yes. You must do a big Nordies Haul in celebration!


Thanks for this. I actually like Rose Initial but I don't have many soft pink blushes. Oh you think they are different enough? I don't need much of an excuse to get Innocence. It looks really pretty.


Oh this one is right up my alley! Thanks!
Hi Icecarmellatte! Yes, I definitely think it's worth checking out :). I am loving Innocence and think this and Malice will become my go-to blushes!

Thank you ICL! I made a small Pre-BD collective haul and there will be one celebrating post BD but also for Nordie's anniversary.



Chanel e/s quad in Poésie, Chanel JC in Malice, Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base, Tom Ford lipstick in Slander & Tom Ford Bronzing Brush 05
Fabulous haul. Love everything! The bronzing base looks like a very interesting product. I must try it some day. I look forward to seeing and hearing about the Post BD and Nordies hauls. Enjoy!

I agree Pink Explosion looks quite intense in the pan, but it's soft IRL in fact. I don't have the other ones so far I know, I don't even know if they were released here ( maybe Paris exclusive or other collections ? )
Yes, Pink Explosion is a perfect pink.

Thanks ICL---The bronzing base was to replace one that I've completed. I absolutely love it.

Oh thank you so much MissTania!!! I had not yet seen these particular swatches of palette #7. They're beautiful---Sara does such a great job.
I guess this seals the deal for me!!

Wow! You used it up. It looks like a lot of products. Can you tell me how you use it? Thanks.
I know ICL---it's huge! It acts as a primer for me so I'm using it under my foundation. I've also actually used it a
few times on its own, w/o foundation, but my preference is using it as a base. As such, my skin appears
flawless with it.

What brush do you find works best with it? I've yet to find the perfect brush for it.
I use the Chanel Foundation Brush #6. The MAC 190 & 191. All three give me the ability to apply it really fast.
By far I use the Chanel first, and the others if the Chanel is dirty.

So many great goodies! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on how you like the Souffle D'Eclat Finishing Veil -- it sounds so lovely.

I got a compliment on my blush today. The SA mentioned how much she liked my blush twice and so I told her what it was. I had to think for a minute but it was Rose Initial. I did look heavier than I usually wear it because I'm experimenting with my brushes by using actual blush brushes. I usually use powder brushes for blush so it was a bit more intense. I used my Mac #116.

Took a look at Innocence again today and decided to wait. The counter still didn't even have a display for it so I think I'm good on waiting.

Is that a pic of you? Regardless, it's beautiful!!!!! I don't have Rose Initial-----it's very pretty! I use my Chanel blush brush # 4. It fits the JC compact perfectly.

No that's not me. It's a promo image from the Mac Mineralize Mascara.

Discretion JC now available on strawberrynet...I got another back up (I found 2 on ebay months ago). I really love this shade, these swatches are very colour accurate:
