Hi ladies - does anyone have a rec for a good makeup primer? TIA!

pond23 · Aug 18th, 2009, 04:49 PM

^ I like Smashbox's makeup primers, both the original formula and the lighter oil-free one.

Hey Steph, are you getting the metallic grey lambskin. I am going to bring my grey jumbo and compair it to the new grey. I might get a maxi. Yes even though I said it was a nipple bag.

^ LOL! Hi D, I am very close to pulling the trigger and getting the metallic grey lambskin "nipple bag" Maxi soon. I'm justifying it by saying that the 2 grey lambskin bags have very different chains, sizes, and undertones. I just cannot resist the siren's call of the metallic grey lambskin.

That is a great idea for you to take the 07 grey to the boutique for comparison. I now consider the 07 to be a bluish-grey and the 09A to be a pewter-purpleish grey. I hope you get one too!

Hello, i'm new to this forum and it seems to me a foolish to create a separate topic that would ask my small question,
please tell me how long should be single strap in Chanel Classic Flap Jumbo?
Mini Flap?
2.55 reissue, 228?

Thank you

Hi there!

I have that bag... it's a beauty!

Unfortunately, it's from a few years ago, and no longer in stores.

The good news is that you CAN find one... check out ebay, bonanzle, etc. and have it authenticated in Authenticate This thread before buying!

Good luck!!

^ Fellow makeup ho in da house! LOL!

I use the Smashbox primer too, it's quite good! Recommended.

Does anyone know what to use to prevent makeup from melting under your eyes by the end of the evening? (Raccoon eyes, eep!)

Jenita143 · Aug 21st, 2009, 02:24 AM

i use smashbox too. i alternate with the dermalogica oil control lotion

Hi girls! I didn't want to start a new thread so i thought I would ask a quick question here :) Can anyone breakdown the various seasons that Chanel has within one year. I know its something like S/S, Cruise, FW...

TIA

hi fieryfashionist

thanks for the info.... will definitely look out for it cos it's on my wishlist

Jenita143 · Aug 25th, 2009, 02:35 AM

anyone know what type of material Chanel makes their fashion jewelry out of? the other day i was at NM and tried on one of their pearl necklaces. It felt really light and cheap but had a price tag of $510. I guess for that price, i expected it to feel less like plastic and have more weight to it. any insight on this? I love their styles, I just can't justify paying so much for something if it is cheaply made.

hi ladies! i need your opinion. I'm thinking of getting an extra jumbo chanel flap(like Victoria Beckham's and Nicole Ritchie's), but i'm a bit hesitating 'cause I'm just 5'2' (petite frame). You think the XL flap is too big for me?
