Nora, glad you can use Kaska Beige and make it work! I haven't bought Taupe-Delicat yet!

I agree with Eugenia, she should try Rouge Coco too. I find them more moisturizing than Hydrabase, which were a little dry for me. I have dry lips but they are not flaking because I apply l/s, l/g or balm constanty. But I love the colours of Hydrabase!

I use them.

They smell so good and cleanse my skin without drying it, leaving my face soft and smooth! Oh I forgot to check out the Solution Desestresante, will check it out, maybe there are still left over stocks.

I have three Rouge Hydrabase only and they are all roses - Rose Drop, Rose Flamingo, Rose Rebelle. Love them all!

I have a few test cards and I love all the colours! My favourite one is Simply Pink, but I never bought a full sized of it. Do you have it?

There is something special about Rouge Hydrabase, all the colours are neutral and work on all skintones.

 

[Hypathya]

^ Nope. I have none of the shades you mentioned!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Then I have none that you have as well.

Cristalline loose powder it's not the same as Poudre Universelle Libre. Cristalline is transparent with sheen and Poudre Universelle it's a coloured loose powder, gives a natural matte finish and it's gorgeous on it's own on a bare face. When I don't have enough time to do a full face I put just PU on and I look pretty decent. You should give puple or burgundy mascara a try, you'll love it. It'll bring out your eyes. I do it when I don't have enough time to do my eyes properly. It's simple but effective!! You're gorgeous, elegant!! Hi Nora!! I'm glad to help!! Sadly, Rouge Hydrabase it's discontinued!! But your mom should give Rouge Coco a try!! Hi Sadeeh!! Hope you're fine now!! Those are awesome picks for your next visit to the Chanel counter. What do you think of Madmoiselle, Cambon, Gabrielle or Paris RC?

Thank you so much for telling me this!

She has just finished her most recent one so I will get her a few backups.

Temptalia did a FOTD with the Soho collection and I love the look. Love the quad very much. Sabrina also have swatches of Steel and Strong. I want Steel! Our Karin has swatches of Star! I don't have Futile so I want Star.

Looks like I may not buy Teint Innocence next because there will be a new foundation in October/November!

The model is gorgeous!

 

[User38]

I have Teint Innocence.. but it doesn't give me much coverage.. Lumiere, good but not ahhhh fantastic.. Vitalumiere, better but not the best... I have a huge foundation problem. I am now using the kidnapped MAC Prolongwear.. so far, so good

lots of Rouge Coco's in my stash.. MAdemoiselle amongst them, Genial, and the messed up pink ones.. lol.

who needs a swatch of Mademoiselle.. I have lost track of this thread

 

[User38]

and a ton of disc Hydrabases:d .. hey, matte is back.. lolol

That's exactly what I was hoping for with the Taupe Duo! I can't wait to get it...should be here today!

Hi hun!

I actually really like the NARS skincare items I'm using now (took a while to find a new routine!), but I'm hoping to get samples of a few Chanel items down the line to see how they work for me. I'll be sure to try the ones you've suggested...thank you!

Perfect! I'll give the Poudre Universelle a try, it sounds just awesome!

Oh man...more foundation to try!

Thanks for this link and info, I'll be sure to keep my eyes open and try this one when it's released.

Do you think Rouge Orage would be similar to MAC Hot Tahiti. I tried looking at Karla's swatches and it seems close? I just dug out Hot Tahiti this morning for "fall" and forgot how much I love the shade! It would be lovely to have that shade in the RC formula I adore...or maybe I should just be using my Hot Tahiti LOL

AGGGGHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO. Now thanks to Temptalia my SoHo lemming has come back with fierce avengance. I NEED IT!!!! Why can't they have it on NM's site so I can order to Canada? *cries* Someone mentioned the SoHo blush/highlighter being at the Holts in Toronto still but it is so much more expensive in Canada and they want like $11 shipping or something and didn't have anything else I want. I NEED the SoHo powder, Stunning RC and the Quad. I have nothing like any of them. Why oh why is life so cruel?

 

[Winthrop44]

I feel your pain mrslid. I always find myself wanting to order Asia-exclusive Chanel items!

 

[purrtykitty]

My Les Khakis have arrived (although order #2 was delayed for some reason...here tomorrow, though)!! Sooo much prettier in person. Pictures will be up on my blog shortly, and I'll do swatches tomorrow.

Oh, and there are now rumors that Nordies will be receiving the Soho collection.

 

[Sass]

I didn't make it to Fashion's Night Out or the opening of Chanel...sick. I'm still sick. Anyway, I hope to go this weekend. I need that Soho de Chanel in my life.

I think I heart Chanel as much I heart MAC now. Exciting.

Hope you feel better soon!

A prescription for Chanel should be the right medicine...or atleast something to look forward to when you feel well enough to do some shopping!

 

[TealAngel]

I received Khaki Vert today!

My bare nails are rejoicing!

When you have +60 Chanel lipsticks (Infrarouges, Hydrabases, Aqualumieres, Rouge Allures & Rouge Coco) ... and near 30 from other brands, it's not a big tragedy!!

You're welcome. Try to do it asap, they are no longer available here at any counter!!

 

[ginlovesmac]

I just got my first ever Chanel nail polish and I am AMAZED! I got Rouge Fatal, and it's a gorgeous red, the name is perfect. It goes on like a dream, I gotta say I'm sold on these nail polishes, I'm thinking of getting rose confidentiel next =D

 

[Hypathya]

Congrats to all of you who are receiving their Khakis & Soho hauls!!

 

[mikri75]

I just received my Khaki Rose and Khaki Vert!!!

They ARE fabulous!!!! OMG I never thought I would find the perfect nude(for me), khaki rose is it!! It almost gives me mannequin hands.

I'll try to get pictures up soon! Now I hope that khaki Brun does come out in stores in Nov. I might have to go check it out!

I love this!!!!! YAY!!
