It appears no ne still has it in stock. You might want to call some local stores, have them do an inventory search of the locations of Macy's, Nordie's, where ever to see if one is hiding. It was released about 2 months ago. You can always pay the super high price for it on eBay, ugh.

I can't find that flower blush anywhere

It's still available in a few UK websites but they deliver only within the UK. I'm not sure if there's a way for you to order, maybe through friends, relatives?

Hello ladies! For all the Canadians out there, prices go up March 1st (Sunday!). All lipsticks are going to be $42, the new Rouge Cocos are already this price. Glossimers are $34 (was $31) , nail polishes $31 (!?!) (was 27), Joues Contraste blushes $51 (was 48). Vitalumiere Aqua has a huge $6 increase, it will be $64. Skincare also had a huge jump, some as much as $20. If my memory is correct, I don't believe Chanel has ever increased the prices of their products in Canada within the past 5 years. Maybe my memory is fooling me, lol.
Oh my!!! Was thinking of adding more lippies to my collection.

Nope, not in the usa yet. I don't even know if we are getting it or not. I asked my coworkers that went to lancome training last tuesday and they told me no one mentioned this powder. It's out in the canada already

I think it's way more different than guerlain. This is setting powder as well as les beiges.
I wonder if this has to do with Lisa Eldridge . This might be her first creation at Lancome inspired by chanel lol

The lady from Chanel who does my monthly facial said unless your skin is super dry, to use this only as needed. If used all the time, you might have some issues. As in when I go to work in the desert, literally, use it. Or super cold, dry winter climates. She said this is not for daily use forever.

This makes sense,and explains the difference b/w the two serums

Can't remember if I said this before... but I wish I knew that before getting my sample. A Chanel SA told me that skin is probably oily because it over produces oil from my acne washes drying them out. (Not true, I moisturize with a good daily moisturizer after washing my face 2x a day.) She gave me a generous sized sample of this, and told me to use it 1x a day for a week and see how supple my skin would feel. I replaced my usual moisturizer with the serums. Night one, my face felt nice after washing. It was SUPER moisturizing. However... I woke up and my face was 10x oiler than it's even been upon waking up. Weird, maybe my hormones. Tried again for two more nights. I couldn't do it. It was waaaaay too much for my oily skin. I told her this and she seemed not to believe me and thought I was weird. Okay.

However, I accidentally REALLYYYY dried out my skin from using too strong benzoyl peroxide (a clinique sample). I usually use a spot treatment with a very small amount of salicyclic acid. My skin was puffy, itchy, and scaly where I dabbed it on. The serum helped my foundation go flawless over my otherwise reptile patches. And within two days of just using the serum on the patchy spots-- my skin was so soft and back to normal!

I don't think I'll be purchasing for these "just in case" incidents, though. Yet still a lovely serum.

@laurennnxox which sample - the Micro serum or the Hydra beauty serum?

I loved the look of my skin after using the Micro, but within a couple of days I noticed a lot of oiliness and small pimples appearing when I woke up.

Again, when I get stuck literally in Death Valley for work the lady who does my monthly facials told me, use it at the most once a day, and not for more then a few days. She said it would cause zits, white heads, all that junk if over used. It was developed for occasionally use. I normally use Sublimage or LeLift serums depending on how broke I am. Or if I am buying or daddy.....

Then it should be expressly stated by Chanel in the marketing that this is the case, instead of forcing a £70 "use once a blue moon" product down customers' throats.
