I'd love to see it too!

I just look for it on google and saw the swatches in Temptalia and it's very beautiful (as well as Curious).

This thread has me lemming Insouciante! I'll go check it out tomorrow.

My favorite mlbb/nude pinks are Naive, Tender and Discrete. Here's an old pic of my RAs (sorry, I didn't have time to take swatch pics yet!)

From left to right: Mythic, Tender, Discrete, Naive

I like the look of Tender and Discrete!

 

[Almus]

Oh I love the four of them! But if I continue buying Chanel's lip stuff like this, every single country will come out of the economical crisis and I'll be stuck behind!

Maybe I should use some parental control software on Spektra

I agree -- all of them look gorgeous. Thanks, Switchblade for the pic!
I could use a little self control meself!

I posted swatches of Naive RA in the Chanel swatch forum.

Thanks Karin! It looks so pretty in the tube and in the swatch! I can't wait until Chanel gets it back in stock and it ships to me!

I love them all but Sycamore which I think I may have to swap. It just doesn't seem to go on even for me or something? I have two more coming in swaps at the moment. Muse and Cashmere. I find myself wanting to wear nothing but my RC's I love them that much! I will post swatch pics as soon as I find some time in the daylight ;-)

I got Organdi Rose as well yesterday and am in love!!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks, elegant, for the comparison! Magnolia looks much softer beside Adorable. Both are beautiful!

I'm going to the counter later today, and I have a feeling I'll be swatching all the light pink RAs.

 

[Susanne]

There is a Coco Rouge in Mademoiselle on hold for me until Friday!!

I look forward to my first Chanel l/s.

 

[Miss QQ]

Hope you love it! It looks great with Pink Sugar l/l, especially with your pigmented lips!

That's great! You'll love it. I wondered if you had ended up picking one up yet or not

Does anyone own both Magnolia and Rose Dentelle RC? I've been wondering how they compare.

Girls, do you think one of the Chanel lipsticks is close to Innocence Beware from VV?
I actually like the colour on me and it is surprising as nudes never look right on me (not a nudist). But Cremesheens on me look horrible.

TIA

I think Elegant has both -- maybe she can swatch them side by side? I think Shypo has them both also.

That was the one lippie I was going to get from VV, and then decided against it. It did look like a great color. I would love to know what you find out in the way of comparable Chanel lippies.
I haven't tried Mythic yet and I can't wait to see what Insouciante looks like on!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Insouciante is more beige than Mythic, which is very pale. But surprisingly I can wear Mythic. I like it for a pale, nude lips and I don't look like death!

Maybe you can take a look at Tender, Discrete and Darling? These are RAs. Mythic is pale like Innocence beware but it doesn't have that pink tint. Cremesheems look bad on me too.

I came back with Discrete and Cambon RC l/s! I also bought Pink Sugar l/l and Exces. Many of the soft pink/ nude pink RAs are already discontinued,

and my counter only has Discrete so I tried it on and it is very close to my lip colour, but it evens it out adds a hint of pink. I'll be wearing it a lot.

Cambon is officially my first red l/s!

Although it is not a true red, it is still more red than pink. The MA recommended Gabrielle for a true, blue red.

They are fairly close except that RD is noticeably more peach & Magnolia is more pink.

Will let you know if I find something.
To me Insouciante is brown, more along the lines of Boy Bait (a bit darker).

Thanks for the tips, I will look at Mythic and the others you listed. Gives me a reason to go swatching

How does Cambon apply? I heard a lot of people say it's a bit bitchy. And Éxes is so worth it

Enjoy your new goodies.
