But we had always intended on moving to a detached, so we're all pretty excited about that! Sorry for the off topic info.

Congratulations!! You will be able to make awesome new memories in your new house - I wish you and your family the very best!!

Very nice haul - many of these items have been sold out in the US for awhile....I did not get Laser for the reasons you mention.......there are many other glossimers that are 'something different', so you really haven't missed much IMHO

It tends to be on the dry side, but moreso in winter. Now is about the time I see it switch back to normal....but I'm willing to give it another go.....I'll use more of the serum and the cream and see how tomorrow morning feels......thanks!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

My little 4 year old loves to go through my makeup stash. The other day I caught her holding one of my Chanel glossimers -- just admiring it. Like mother, like daughter LOL
Shypo asked me to post a pic of the makeup I did for my girls ballet recital. I let them go through and pick what colours they want me to use. Of course, it didn't even show up in the picture, but oh well -- you can only apply so much makeup on a 4 year old and 11 year old anyways

(But you'll see I'm not some hot 25 year old like my avatar LOL!!)

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Hi everyone! I want to thank all of you for your sweet posts regarding our house! Camnagem, we did buy a new house, it's in the process of being built and won't be ready till the fall. So we'll actually be moving in with my parents for a few months. I wanted to get our place sold before the market cooled down. We are really excited about the new house and I'm sure it'll be full of many many new memories. We took the kids inside (it's up but no walls or finishes yet) and they picked out their rooms!

Bonitinha, your girls are all so beautiful and you are stunning! Your little one looks so adorable in her outfit! She and my daughter are very close in age, and by the sounds of it, well on their way to being future make-up addicts!

So I did manage to pick up the Bleu Celeste quad. I'm so glad i did!!! The SA told me that after I called, she checked and realized she was supposed to have sent it back since it's discontinued, but she was glad that I got it! She only had the one left, and the box was a little banged up, but it's mine! It is really pretty for a blue quad, all of the shades are very wearable.

Thanks ladies -- you are so all so sweet. I love my girlies and I believe I am raising future makeup addicts like myself

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Day 2: I woke up to a dry, tight face again, and I was convinced I used enough product last night to get me through the night. I'm not sure what the issue is - my skin is not Sahara-dry.

I do like the results I see with the UCL and H+A, along with the UC Line Repair Eye cream....but there is no way I'm going to pay the price of Sublimage to get the moisturization I need. If I keep seeing good results with Chanel, I'll just augment the regimen with my Olay Regenerist (gasp! sacrilege!) as I really like the richness of that cream. Or perhaps there's a different Chanel cream I should be using....I will investigate this on one of my upcoming shopping sprees.....one of the MUAs at my local Macy's has fast become one of my 'go-tos', so I'll ask her.

I really wish the guy in Las Vegas had told me what he was using on my face (he had the jars in a drawer next to the chair, and didn't show me the jar) - I really liked the result. He called it the 'high end cream', but I really don't think it was Sublimage - I think it was one of the Line Repair moisturizers....anyway, I'll ask at Macy's.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Many times when my skin reacts to something it feels tight - in my case I'm pretty sure it's from a swelling reaction. Do you think you could be reacting to something in the new products rather than just not getting enough moisture from them?

It's possible......but I don't have any irritation or redness (always a plus, and usually my biggest fear) - it feels like it does in the winter when I just need to moisturize......it could be a case where my skin is 'used to' what I normally do, and not yet accustomed to the way it's supposed to feel with the new products.....or perhaps I just need a richer night cream?

 

[Winthrop44]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Could you maybe call the guy in Vegas and ask what he calls "the high end cream" since you really liked whatever that was?

I didn't try Laser but I bought Pop and was pleasantly surprised by it. It looked almost clear on the back of my hand too, but on my lips it gave a sheer coat of bright coral gloss. Someone here asked about Pop too. So there, I like it very much! I think Laser will give a sheer coat of bright pink on the lips.

Congrats on selling your house and on the new house! Very exciting!

Enjoy the quad too. I feel chic whenever I wear the quad.

On to the fall collection, the allure site reveals what the models wore at the fall 2010 runway show.

Designer Faces: The Hair and Makeup Look at the Fall 2010 Chanel Runway Show: Trends: allure.com

The blush is Pink Clouds (asia only?) and Rose Temptation (LE for fall).

I'm not sure what collection Pink Clouds is coming out with, but I've never seen it before and am not sure if it is new. Maybe it is a Asia only collection, like Think Pink in 2008?

I'm excited.

As for the lips, they used Hydra Treatment Lip-care SPF 15. Has anyone tried this before?

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Shypo, I'm not the most patient person, so if any product gives me that tight feeling you're describing, I won't go back to it!!! Maybe as Winthrop mentioned, there's an ingredient that isn't working with your skin? Maybe not even a reaction per se, but just something that's too drying? I second the notion to call Vegas and ask about the cream you had tried out! This is just one of those things that shouldn't stay in vegas, berump bump. (My apologies all, no coffee yet...)

Bummer. Why do they insist on doing country-specific releases with JCs?

Congrats on your purchases! Let me know how you like the highlighting fluid so I can live vicariously through you. I really wanted it, but my counter sold out right away!

I would try using the products separately to see if you are reacting to one or other. Perhaps the serum would be lovely under your regular night cream, or possibly a richer Chanel cream. Or maybe the Hydramax is enough moisture for you, but the serum is causing a reaction. Good luck!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Does Chanel carry skincare that is targeted as anti aging and anti acne at the same time? How lovely that I have to worry about breakouts and fine lines at the same time! I get so overwhelmed by skincare. Let me know if you have any suggestions

Anything country-specific is a bad decision.
