Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Ahhhh - Hello girlies!

I got to stop at a different Nordies & this Chanel gal was...ummm, rude

But anyways, I tested & got 1 sample *eyeroll* of the new anti wrinkle line repair. I loved the serum (at least on my hand) it made my skin look so glowy radiant & smooth. I wanted a sample to try but she only gave me the day cream

But, when I went to Chanel tonight - it doesn't say "serum" like I thought it did.

Chanel.com has only 1 of the new duos for purchase! the black/grey one!!!

we had a super fantastic fun time with the kids this weekend

Hey Shontay!

Here's hoping it just rolled under something

I would be crazy knowing there was a thief in my home

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hey, Elegant

!

I'm just shrugging it off. I'll buy another one at some point. I guess something that belongs to my mother has to be stolen before she wakes up. Knowing her though, she won't even notice.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I wore Reflets D'Ombre quad yesterday and it is pigmented.

Glad I managed to find the quad. It was sold out at a counter and I had to go to another one for it.

I wonder what is up with the rude Chanel ladies? Don't they know if they are super nice and helpful, people will buy more

Let us know how the line repair works. I need something for the area around my eyes (fine lines begone!!).
Glad you had such a nice weekend! Time to get back to the drill

Isn't it gorgeous? I'm glad you found one!

Sorry about the theft, Shontay. That is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Plus how gross is it to take someone else's mascara??

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hey everyone!

So no internet at home yet, but the move is just about done and we are off to the lawyer today to settle everything. I'm insanely sleep deprived getting used to being in such a loud house again! (It all came back to me the first night we stayed there and my mom had the pressure cooker going around midnight...). And my mom is constantly grabbing the kids to squish them and give them her loud kisses. My son asked her yesterday if she was going to keep doing that for the next four months?! He's starting to run away, lol!

Yay! I would guess that we will get it around that time as well! I'm so excited!

Elegant, great to hear you had a nice weekend. It must be extremely hard not being close to your son & daughter-in-law.

Who knows why they are like that

It makes me sad that they do. I love the day cream. I'm wearing it today, it makes the skin look & feel very soft.
The Chanel lady told me that if I'm already using the Lift series, that I don't need the new Wrinkle series because the lift is a 'step up'. hmmm

I wish you nerves of steel

Your little guy is so cute. If I was a grandma - yep, I would be squishin him too

Heck, I did that to our son's dog all weekend

I'm sure that the time will go faster than you think. Its an exciting move!

Oh, it is so hard on us to not be geographically close

We may have to change that. I do ok until my son gives me the good bye hug

I cry every time & most of the trip home. Hubby always takes me to this huge beautiful outdoor mall which is half way home - just to cheer me up

Hi!

I always look forward to new collection launches from Chanel!

I'm wearing Nouvelle Vague.

The first time when I applied it I felt it was too thick and tricky to apply with my mediocre skills but I'm getting the hang of it. Two coats is enough for an even and smooth finish! Alison, thanks for your comparison of Oasis and NV! I think Oasis is good for layering over NV but I'm not rushing out to buy it yet.

Aww, that is so sweet of hubby. You'll know when the time is right to make the move, if you decide to do that.

Thanks for the encouragement!!! I think this process will bring DH and I closer than ever!

Aww, there's nothing better than Grandma kisses!

That is so funny that your son asked her if she is going to keep doing that!

The plum JC looks pretty scary there!

No, its really not that bad. Its very soft, but may have a tendency to go brown plum on some skin tones I think. I liked it.

 

[Bonitinha]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Elegant -- Did you check out the Orchid Rose blush? It looks like a gorgeous golden pink in the pics

And I really do want all of the glossimers -- they all look very wearable. Have you had a chance to see all of them in person? Do tell

No, they didn't have it for some reason. I really wanted to see that color in person.

yeah, the glossimers are very very pretty.2 are very pale & 2 have pretty good color. The Rose Dilemma & Coral Love are so beautiful. Well, the whole collection is just lovely! Yeah, I know that helps

Exactly. Like mine. Not a problem as I have plenty else to buy from this collection!

Hi ladies!!!

I'm back!!

That's exciting news!! Now we'll be able to compare and discuss things properly!!!

I'm just praying they don't stop making the quads and JC baked!!

Originally Posted by Shypo I opened my box today in good daylight - wow!! I am so pleased with everything! The quad, as Elegant said, is a must-have. Soooooo pretty! I also got Pink Explosion, which is a beautiful vivid pink in the pan (I haven't swatched anything yet - busy today housecleaning for my family's visit and the book club get together I'm hosting this evening....whew!) I also got the 4 glossimers and Rose Dentelle RC. The RD is just that - a rose color, very muted - maybe less rose and more nude. When I have some time I will swatch and take photos. The glossimers are very pretty - the 2 coral ones are very lovely - one (Petit Peche) is a peachy pink like Michelle is seeking, and Coral Love is more of an orange-y coral. Rose Dilemma reminds me a little of Rose Sand, but maybe a bit more golden, and a little deeper. Swatches will certainly tell the story better than my feeble descriptions . Stay tuned for photos - I'll get them up as soon as I can!

Cheryl I'm soo excited for you!!

... and a bit jealous of course!!

Thanks for your gorgeous review!!

Can't hardly wait!!

"Gods in everyman" by J.S. Bolen. Very, very interesting book. It's an exploration through greek gods of men archetypes and psychology. Really impressive.

My bet it's Rose Dentelle + the sheerest of glosses from the collection.

Rude Chanel SAs are the worst thing!! Can't they notice they sell expensive items that we buy with hard earned money???

I know!!

Not having family close it's the absolute worst thing!!

The minute I left my dad at the airport I began missing him!! I no longer cry when I left mom and dad, but definitely feel broken and incomplete!!

Hubby always tries to make it up to me, but nothing can compensate my loss... Anyway, aren't our guys sweet or what??

Hey darlin! Glad you're back here. That was so sweet what you wrote about your dad.

Incomplete is a good word to describe it. Good caring hubbies do help it a bit.

You would think that the Chanel ladies would consider it a wonderful almost privilege to work for Chanel, but I'm not feeling that from them lately.
