Stop enabling me @Sunnysmom 😉 They are all gorgerous.  Thx for the swatches.  I'm wearing No 5 today.  It's a pretty strawberry red on me 😉

[Sunnysmom]

Haha @blackkitty2014! I’m so sorry. Did it stay on a long time for you? No feathering? You have the best of it though I think with No.5! The only other one that I think is truly the standout of the collection is “Unique” in Velvet formula. It’s different, brilliant and glowing and leaves such a gorgeous stain. Melts into the lip vs sitting on top. I have no other like it and hope it is added to the permanent line. Perfection! 😊

[TraceyEB]

Thanks for posting the swatches, @Sunnysmom. I just love these shades being incrementally different one from another, and all so lovely to wear. You have intrigued me about the shade Unique!

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB Yes I agree with you. What Chanel does so well. Here is my beloved Unique again for your viewing pleasure lol. 🙄☺️It’s just such a great bejeweled berry that is also just so satiny on and brightens up your face. Lots of compliments on it.  I have to hoard it I’m afraid after learning the hard way with other favorites gone forever! I’m sure similarities to some Givenchy, Pat McG, BB, TF or Bite a little bit but the way the formula works with this color is just so pretty. Imho. It’s also what I seem to try to achieve when I mix colors. I’m gonna compare it to some of my stash for fun too. If anyone else has similar shades I’d love to know too tho I feel like I exhaust every line it seems! @blackkitty2014?! Chanel Unique Velvet

Pic on my silly arm doesn’t do it justice. Lol.

Here's Chanel No 5 lipstick, a pink red (almost raspberry on me), and comparison swatches. On me, No 5 resembles No 1 except No 5 is brighter, lighter, and matte, visible mostly if wearing the 2 shades on the lips for comparison. No 5 is super pigmented and comfortable to wear. (Chanel No 4 swatched below is an orange red with a sheen.)

Thank you, @blackkitty2014 for the overnight code and @Sunnysmom for photos of her purchases below.

I want the lippie and the highlighter 😉 

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014Available now on Chanel direct. The lippie will sell out, kitty! Tagging (but not enabling) @Sunnysmom

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB Lip and lip palette check check! Thank you so much for heads up! Happy you were my little enabler! 🤣 What you get?! 

[TraceyEB]

Hi @Sunnysmom, great order!! I just ordered the red lipstick but will be making a second order soon. I'm trying to hold off until I see what I can get from the upcoming the SUQQU UK release later this week. That lipstick palette is on my list, for sure!

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB Ooh yes sounds good! I can’t wait to hear about that one from you! I was worried the palette would sell out so just said may as well. Happy holidays to us! lol lol. 

[TraceyEB]

You might as well, @Sunnysmom! You never know what products sell out. I didn't expect to start buying holiday collections for a few weeks. Eeekk!

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB I know it! It’s kind of ridic. And then you see spring stuff looming in the background. Kind of driving me nutty. 😕

[TraceyEB]

Me, too, @Sunnysmom. I just caught up on Chanel Fall last week buying the Clair Obscur quad, Bleu Selene eyeshadow single, Electric Brown Stylo Ombre et Contour, Quintessence blush, 2 lippies, and the Le Volume Revolution mascara.  Not ready for Spring. 🙂

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB Ooh such goodies tho!! Yea for you! I have the shadow, pencil, lip and quad too. Really like them a lot. Do you like the blush and mascara? I do want to try it tho I need no mascara. Haven’t heard much about it yet! And then the new BB also- yikes just yikes. Lol 

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB I’m cooked. Lol 

[blackkitty2014]

@TraceyEB, i think i need the red lippie for my upcoming vacay.  After all, i need to look good for the fishes. 😉 Edit: I ordered the red lippie with INTHEBAG code for free overnight shipping.  The fishes and i thank you 😉

[TraceyEB]

I ordered the red lippie, too. Thanks for the overnight promo code!! Have fun on your vacay, @blackkitty2014!

[Sunnysmom]

Wow speedy @TraceyEB @blackkitty2014! Yes thank you for code @blackkitty2014! Got mine early today as imagine you did also. You love your goodies?! Trying to hold out on new shadows until in stores etc though so pretty. 

New No.5 lip

La Palette Caractere is so good. No 5 is in it also. Glad I did cave in! Good true true red. A bit warmer on me than normal but it’s probably good for me to change it up! A little cloudy so pic is a little dark. 

[TraceyEB]

Ooooooh!! That compact is SO elegant, @Sunnysmom!! My swatch of No 5 matches yours. It's lovely!

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB It really is. Very sleek! Our swatches do match! It looks amazing on you!! Love it! A bit less blue on me which sometimes happens to me when it’s really a neutral red like I feel this is. 

Here it is compared to No. 3 and No.2 to round out all the comparisons from last year to this year. @blackkitty2014 I definitely see similarities to No. 3. No.5 seems a little lighter and brighter to me. So if you got that one you could probably live without it. MAYBE. lol. Less direct lighting- Top to bottom- No 5, No.3, No.2

More direct lighting. More true to actual shades. Top to bottom- No.5, No.3, No.2

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you so much for all the swatches @Sunnysmom, @TraceyEB.  I have No 3 but not No 2.  Phew!  I'm so relieve that No 3 and No 5 is diff.  My No 5 will come today.  I love No 3 so much that even if No 5 is similar, i'm okay with keeping it too 🙂
