Chanel Makeup: What's good?

[tigerrouge]

Temptalia has got her hands on Chanel's Paradoxal - you only seem to see the shimmer at certain angles, so it looks muddy in some of the shots (temptalia.com

Chanel Paradoxal Nail Lacquer ($23.00) is a stunning shade of grayed plum with red and violet microshimmer. It applied beautifully–one of the best Chanel lacquers in terms of formula I’ve tried–and only needed two coats for complete opaqueness. The nuances of this shade are best captured in direct sunlight, but it’s smoky and sultry in indirect/natural lighting, too. Very, very beautiful and sophisticated.

Texture seems like Rouge Coco, but I'm not sure... Maybe Gabrielle or the Rivoli... I guess....

Chanel’s Guide To The Perfect Red Lip
July 7, 2010

“We wanted to have one makeup element stand out without taking away the focus from the collection,” makeup artist Peter Philips told us from the Grand Palais yesterday, where Karl Lagerfeld staged Chanel’s latest couture spectacular. As is so often the case—in both real life and the world of fashion fantasy—that one element turned out to be a strong red lip with a matching manicure courtesy of Chanel’s Le Vernis in Rouge Fatale. Paired with a modern, nude face, the overall effect was classy with an edge, or “haute couture makeup with strong street credibility.” Philips built his pout in layers, beginning with an outline and filled-in base of Chanel lip liner in Carmin, followed by a few lashings of his Rouge Coco lip color in Rivoli, a dark crimson, which he blotted with a tissue and set using Chanel’s translucent Poudre Libre for a matte finish and extra hold. This three-pronged approach will guarantee you long-lasting, strong color intensity, says Philips, and that will no doubt serve you well for the many days of lipstick-wearing you’ve got ahead of you come Fall.

I 've never used blush , cause I thought blush is tacky, but then I bought Tweed Rose , and it' s so beautiful .

Regarding blush, I've used Joues Contraste in Tea Rose for years. It's natural yet leaves a beautiful glow on the skin.
A salesperson at Chanel advised me on how to use it : you have to press the brush on the powder and turn your wrist (in a half-circle) while doing it so that enough powder can get on the brush.

Poudre Douce is out of order... You can choose between Vitalumiere Compact Powder, Poudre Universel Compact/Libre or Mat Lumiere Compact Powder....

i bought "Poudre Universel Compact" and i love it... it looks fresh and natural

They don't sell any cosmetics in Chanel stores apart from Les Exclusifs fragrance collection. If you want to buy Joues Contraste, you'll have to go to Sephora or Marionnaud.

I really regret not grabbing a bottle of Nouvelle Vague when it was available... does anyone know if any of the London counters have any still in stock or is there a ridiculous waiting list?

There is no waiting list, because it was oneshot.... So, there will not be a relaunche of the product this year.. For next year I'm not sure, but there will come a baby bleu shade.... SOOOOO PRETTY!!
