Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Given my disappointment with the duos, and Misty/Soft in particular, I ordered a Dior duo called 'Silver Look', based on good reviews, and the fact it looks just like Misty/Soft. I have to say that I think this is what M/S was supposed to look like on, but I just didn't have any luck with it. That said, here is the look - what I used:

Eyes:
MAC Phloof
Dior Silver Look duo
MAC Shroom
Chanel Gris SY
Dior Extase mascara

Cheeks:
MAC Stereo Rose
Chanel Pink Satin

Lips:
Chanel Cosmos glossimer

IMO, it doesn't look anything like any of the JC's, the closest I'd say is Rose Temptation, which of course is LE. But Tweed Rose makes for a nice neutral rose but with a natural pop of colour. It's not the type of colour that I normally gravitate to, seeing as I much prefer pinks and plums, but it looks really nice with the olive skintone. I also finally got around to trying Rose Temptation and really like it. It's more plummy rose, which I love.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Glad you like Rose Temptation. It doesn't turn muddy on you, I guess? I didn't try it on my cheeks but I swatched it a few times. I will play with Tweed Rose the next time I'm at the counter.

Sabrina has uploaded the new nps that come with the new glosses. Rose Insolent is so pretty. It looks like a warmer Riveria. Rose Confidentiel is so elegant and I imagine it looks very lady-like on toes with pretty open-toe heels.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Miss QQ, Rose Temptation doesn't look muddy on me, as the colour seems to stay pretty true, but I definitely wouldn't reach for it on the days that I don't feel like doing much else, because on its own, it doesn't really provide much colour or brighten my complexion.

Thanks for the link. Luckily, I'm okay with skipping the polishes!

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Thanks for your thoughts on RT. No wonder the model in the promo pic is wearing RT, PE and Plum attraction - to add colour. I'll see the nail polishes before deciding. If my budget is tight I will pass the polishes, since I don't wear polishes every day. I usually let my nails rest few days to a week in between changing of shades.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Rose Temptation doesn't go muddy on me either. I picked it up late and am really glad I didn't skip it.

Thanks for the np link Miss QQ. IMHO those pics do not do Rose Insolent justice - it is much prettier irl!

So stv578 and Miss QQ how do you feel about the upcoming holiday e/s quad with the coppery tones? Will it be a winner or make us look tired like Kaska Beige???

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Do you wear RT on its own or do you layer it with other blushes? Rose Insolence doesn't have any micro shimmers, right? I managed to resist Riviera, so let's see if RI is a must have for me.

Does Tentation Curve look like Spices? I wanted to pick up Spices but I haven't because I'm distracted by the new launches and forgot about it when I'm at the counter. The copper brown shade in TC does make me feel nervous.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

RT doesn't go muddy on me, either!

All three polishes are creams, no shimmers or glitters. Since I missed Riviera, I definitely want RI, but I'm holding out until free shipping starts Sept. 1.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

The holiday quad looks quite nice. One of the shades is described as a plum copper (as shown on Chic Profile) and the other coppery shade looks nice and dark. As long as it's not too orangey of a brown, I think I may give this quad some serious consideration!

ETA: Don't think anything will compare to Enigma though, I've worn this almost every day since getting it, and I'm so glad it's permanent, two of the four shades are already starting to flatten out!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

And Charming glossimer sounds really pretty too! Is this a repromote or is it completely new?

 

[TheTeenageMuse]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Umm, so my SA told me that Paradoxal isn't LE. Am I just a noob or did everyone else think it was LE too?

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ It was thought to be LE, but it is perm. The SAs at different counters told me it is perm too, so it should be accurate.

I think it is new. If you look at this from Karla, I'm guessing the repromotes are marked with a small "t" like symbol, whatever it is called.

I want Charming and Pink Pulsion!

Just noticed Pulsion nail polish. Does it look like Riviera or Rose Insolence?

 

[TheTeenageMuse]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Holiday Collection:
Tweed Fuschia
Pink Pulsion Glossimer
Pleasing Glossimer
and perhaps one Rouge Roco

Not too shabby!

Yes, both of those glossimers are gorgeous!! When is the holiday release being launched again? I thought I was going to completely skip the next 2 MAC collections in favor of getting more Chanel -- but I think there are a few things I want from those. How do I narrow it all down??

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^ I think we will get the holiday collection in late November or early December as usual. Not sure about elsewhere.

Enjoy! I passed Vendetta.

I'm so excited! I received a mailer from Chanel saying there is a new store that is opening in September, and there is Espace Parfums, where customers get to experience the perfumes in a unique way by the Fragrance Specialist. Best of all, the collection Les Khakis will be available only in that store! I have pre-order all three already!

I thought we would not be getting the nps but what a pleasant surprise!

Sounds great, enjoy the lacquers

In Germany only one store will have the Les Khakis and only during one night, no preorders and no mail orders.
