Oh well more time to save me thinks and Chanel has been calling my name since the new stuffs appeared on selfridges :eyelove: Wish, I've done some lipstick swatches for you, but for some reason they've come out a bit dark so it's hard to see the differences with the lip swatches...the ones swatched on my skin are clearer but still appear darker than they do in person but you can still see the ones that are closest to creme cup - I'll pop them in the swatch section Eta: scrap that, photo bucket is being a pig....I'll have to load them on the laptop n put em on tomorrow, sorry

Yeah, I spoke to my MA today and she didn't even realise it'd been pushed back until I told her! Guess I'll just be getting more of the permanent items for a while then

My MAC permanent list is crazy long! I have no money to buy what with all the collections MAC comes out with!

^I made a habit of buying something permanent everytime I buy from LE collection. After 3 years I`m pretty close to finish line with the stuff I want from the permanent col. Hardest stuff are brushes, but in time, well they don`t waste, so it`s worth it.
I`ll only buy Lucky green in pan form, that`s it for me

Thanks for doing that! I will check them out when you've put them up Photobucket is often a pig, I hate it because it always breaks when I am trying to crop stuff for my blog and then it shuffles all the pictures around so I can't find them grrr.

I ordered two of the new Chanel polishes, the new quad and the coral bronzer. I love Chanel stuff, they have been drawing me in recently. They make me feel so sophisticated haha.

No problem, I've actually just posted the arm swatches I did as it shows the best true to life colour and you can easily see which shades are closest to creme cup. I need to purchase a new camera as my cam phone doesn't cut it sometimes! But being on a budget its hard to find a decent one I left the lip swatches as the quality is such that you can't see the subtle differences.

I love the new Chanel stuff, and the nail varnishes plus the bronzer may have to come home with me

I shall have a look now then

Did you get all of the nail polishes? I got Mimosa and Morning Rose. Did you go for the Rose or Coral bronzer? I should hopefully be getting my things delivered today, fingers crossed.

[/quote] I didn't get to order I hovered too long then mimosa and morning rose were out of stock so I left it. I'm just getting the Rose bronzer from my local counter on Saturday, I think - if they have mimosa I may pick it up but otherwise I'm going to leave the rest - I'm not paying evilbay prices! I'm glad you like the lip stick swatches, trust me, on pigmented lips none of those colours make you look washed out

Aww that is such a shame I knew they would sell out really quick, limited edition Chanel polishes just do. You might find them at your local counter though, fingers crossed for you. I got the coral bronzer and eye shadow palete too. I am such a green fiend and the colours are very pigmented and pretty so that was a good buy. The coral bronzer is quite subtle I think, I tried it with my 129 brush and it buffed it out too much for my liking. I used the brush included with the bronzer and that worked better but you do need to buff away the edges otherwise you get a stripe. I'm going to try to get my reviews up on my blog later today, hopefully I get a chance to do so as I meant to do it last night but was just too busy with other things.

Next time I go to a MAC counter, I will try a couple of nude lippies and see what I think. My lips aren't as pigmented as yours but they are more pigmented than Temptalia's so I can use her as an idea against skin tone but lipsticks don't always look the same on me as her.

Hi ladies! Anyone who is still interested in snagging Ever Hip should call Nordies in Valley Fair (California), they just got a shipment in

 

[bis]

I got my FF goodies: Bows&Curtseys, Alpha Girl, Ever Hip and Summer Shower. B&C is amazing, I love the colour, the finish, everything. Not sure about EH, it looks like a pinky nude on me, from the swatches I expected it to be darker?! Summer Shower goes on pretty blue on my lips. Alpha Girl Why did I not get this when it released with Heatherette?! Great colour for summer.

Alpha Girl

Why did I not get this when it released with Heatherette?! Great colour for summer.

that's exactly what i thought! why did i not buy it with heatherette?!

 

[Anneri]

How did you manage to get FF so early, bis? Did you order in the US?

I'm so looking forward to getting AG and EH!
