Oh goodie....another 'exclusive to' collection....I'm really getting tired of these (LMdB especially) but I wonder if chanel.com will also get them.......if not, I guess the hunt begins. I had good luck with the SOHO store back when SOHO launched, but I hope shipping is free........

Hi ladies! Just popping in to say hello (and sub to updates on this page;)). I am a new Chanel m/u fan (addict...?) I have purchased, in quick succession (trying to p-a-c-e myself!!): Illusion de ombré in Emerveille (this started it all, omg what a gorgeous color and product!) Illusion de ombré in Epatant (once I saw this at my counter under the lighting I thought about the shimmer OH MY several times that day and had to go back and purchase. LOL this is not good, am I right?! I have also ventured into the RC shines and picked up Aventure but am awaiting an order. Considering a purchase of the jouer contraste blush next, but so many pretty shades! Also no idea what shade of vitalumiere aqua I would be (NC/NW 20 and nars deauville) so I'm going to the counter. Any thoughts on these? Any thoughts on the bronze universelle base (the large flat jar)? Thanks! Have a great day:)

Why thank you icecarmellatte for the welcome! :bouquet:-- and yep, that's me... I'm trying to be reserved in my Chanel purchases (and really looking forward to the holiday one anyway). I am really very pleased with the quality of what I've experimented with and purchased so far'  Also, listening to you all has been so helpful, and yet another reason why I've been a part of  specktra on and off for years and years now! Anyway, I just picked up the Prelude quad (such a wonderful set of cool neutrals, wow-- that taupe alone is phenomenal!! And there's not one dud out of the four) and a RCS in Monte Carlo, which is such a fun shade. I couldn't decide and settled on this one. I know I will be back for more as they are fab sheer color, which I love. Looking into a second quad but can't decide on one I went to my first Chanel event this weekend, tons of fun! The mua used the Eclosion quad for a soft smokey eye (which I thought I could dupe with my MAC but now I'm not so sure; it was very lovely on my skin tone fwiw) with Ambre eye kohl, black Inimitable mascara, JC in Pink Explosion (I think he said), a pinky lip liner (forgot my face chart and this is from memory LOL) and RCS in Parfait ( gorgeous but I have so many soft pink lippies I thought I'd grab Monte Carlo for something different to purchase that day). He used, and I fell in love with, the vitalumiere aqua foundation and pinky shade of concealer (I have hereditary dark circles and this did a great job of brightening that area). It wore well throughout the evening-- first anniversary night with hubby;) Note to self: I. Must. Stay. Away. from the skin care. Seems dangerous. As in, addictive and pricey. :shock: received a few samples of the hydra beauty serum to try out.  Thought I'd share my experience from the event in a nutshell. Although that was long-winded, no? Haha

OT, but seeing "Icecaramellatte" and "Tiramisu" is making me hungry...

Hi tiramisu! The Chanel event sounds wonderful! Happy anniversary!
Thanks Miss QQ! Yes it was fun-- totally worth it, and how much is it fun to sit and relax while an artist (he was great, and obviously loves working with Chanel) plays with makeup with you before a romantic night out. A perfect evening I'd say. ;)
 
Hello!

I am new here to Specktra, but I have been using Chanel for 30 years. (Yes, I have lipsticks that are that old.)

Looking forward to chatting about my favourite addiction and my drug of choice -- Chanel!

Picked up the Spices quad and love love love it! Also got a sample of the new perfume but I haven't decided if I'm going to buy it yet since I'm also testing out other brand samples.

^^ Are you refering to Coco Noir? I've tried it once and I'm not sure if I will purchase it as I'm thinking of getting other brands of perfume too.

Thank you for the welcome! But I'm sure that I am not an expert... only hopelessly devoted to a brand that my mother and grandmother use(d).
Evening Red? Golly, before 2001...?

I just bought four of the new Luminous Intense -- 109 Rouge Noir; 93 Exaltee; 94 Extatique; and 99 Pirate; plus the lipliner Rouge Profond.

Looking forward to the Blue Illusion collection!

Have a beautiful day!
