No, it was the Cafe link. But, thanks that helps. On the cafe link it appears that she may have called Insolent ls Imaginaire ???

There is no Imaginaire lipstick on the chanel site - so yep, I am confused. It is on KS site.

And also, from the Cafe site swatches, I really don't see Fatale gloss as being a brown red ???

Are you getting anything? I sure wish there was free shipping

 

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Yes, I got Insouciance and Insolence glosses and Confidentielle RA. Was able to make the free shipping (not sure if that is good or bad, lol) because I was also getting a couple liners and Taupe-Delicat.

Welll, I guess I could do that too.

I cannot decide between Fatale & Exces glosses

I wonder if we can do CPs? I've never done one of those.......

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Elegant, we definitely have an extra room in the house, so feel free to visit anytime! We've got all sorts of shopping very close by!

Eugenia, I managed to make it through the 3 day no-sugar challenge, now I need to do it on a regular basis. Funny how taking sugar out of the diet actually results in more energy!

Cheryl, I will definitely check in here daily. Hopefully I can resist temptation for a while! But the motivation is there now, we have so many things to get for the house still, and it's back-to-school time now, which has meant lots of clothes, school stuff for the kids, and i still need to get them their winter gear!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I sure will darling, I'll make the most of the two days I'll have with him!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Just when I was feeling better...

Today it's my mom's birthday and I won't be with her.

Even when we celebrated last weekend, I totally hate it!!!

So... here is my vow right now that I will be on a no-buy (except for foundation) until the Christmas holidays. Oh, and of the new glosses, Confidence is supposedly LE as well, but none of the rest. I'm excited now to get a cabinet to store my collection in the new house! Something only you ladies on here would understand, lol!

You got the new gloss so soon!

Why does Confidence have to be LE? I like it the most from the swatches. I want Confidence and Emoi. And maybe Imaginaire/Insolence and Exces.

So exciting! Hope to see pics of your new cabinet with your collection! And I hope you stay strong and stick with your no-buy.

The last I asked, two different MAs told me it is. Time will tell if it's true.

Get well soon!

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

All the extrait de gloss, new n/p and new RA are labeled LE!

My wallet is scared because I have to get them all now! The new RAs look gorgeous!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

So it sounds like Canada will soon get the new glosses then. We seem to be getting things later on the West Coast, but you never know. It's kinda of too soon for me anyway because I just bought my fall stuff last week! At least the US got a bit of a break in between! I definitely hope these glosses aren't LE as there are quite a few that I want.

Thanks to those who have looked for Mythic. I will ask about it next time I'm at the counter.

Let us know how you like your purchases Winthrop. I am very interested in Insouciance, Insolence, and Taupe-Delicat.

I've decided I really like the colour of Taupe Grise, but not sure how I feel about it with my dark circles. I feel like it isn't really "taupe" at all, but more of a purple-grey and the purple kind of brings out the purple in my undereye circles. I'm going to keep wearing it though because it is a beautiful colour with great pigmentation and texture! But I don't think I will be buying Enigma since it has more purple-y shades. Seems most of the fall stuff won't be LE anyway, so I don't think I'll be buying anything else for now.

Thanks, it'll definitely be hard!

Coconut, don't be afraid of Enigma! I have dark circles too, I lessen the appearance with concealer and while the shades in this quad are smokey, they really don't make me looked tired or look bruisy! I didn't get taupe gris though, because I did think that could look more ruddy.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ Staying away from this thread will help, but we will miss you here!

I agree, unlike Kaska Beige, Enigma doesn't make me look tired. In fact, it opens up my eyes, and makes my eyes look bigger!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hope everyone is doing well, popping my head to say hi

My father in law is visiting us from the Caribbean this week and my work is super busy at the same time. I don't get to come online as often but when I do I always visit this thread and read all ur posts

I cannot wait for the new glosses!

Alrighty then, I will pack up & then swing by to get Cheryl a la Thelma & Louise...& off to visit

Seriously, that would be a lot of fun.

Oh, & on the sugar thing - yep, see what I mean. Then if you add the good foods & exercise you get even more energy. Thats what I'm talkin about

My energy has energy

I'm getting the pinks for sure

but I cannot decide this morning. Bummed me out, last night I loaded up my chanel cart & my total only came to $149.00 - A dollar short of free shipping

Doggies love to go bye bye don't they.

I'm going to call NY to see if I can get some help on the Pink Cloud issue - we need Pink Clouds in our lives not dark ones

Éxes is a real red, Fatale is a darker red.
I liked Éxes better. Although that might not really keep me away.
