@TraceyEB omg thanks. I am currently out if town do I can't do my pickup if my order til Sunday but that us great. I just saw your f&f post too. Thanks for all the tags, I really appreciate it!  🙂

Well I picked up my order! Yeah for bonus redemption...but it was a little messed up. My SA had TWO of each of the shadows put aside for me..which thankfully I noticed and fixed but also instead of bloom 160 she gave me 158. Sadly i did not noticed that til I left the store. I decided to keep it as I love a good red and 160 looks a lot like a few I picked up from Chanel fall last year...I think (I should look).

Also wearing the coral blush today. I am glad I got that one.

I will try out the shadows tomorrow and hope I don't make a mess!

How exciting, @ChristalM !  I wore the coral blush Saturday.  I'm so glad I got it; it's gorgeous!  I also wore the loose eyeshadows too.  You'll do fine.  Since they're in a bottle rather than a jar it's much harder to make a mess.  I used brushes to apply mine.  I just couldn't bring myself to use that applicator that would be going back in the bottle.  Enjoy your goodies! 💖💖💖

@Titian06  here is a pic of my eye look this morning. I just used brushes and took the shadow off the applicator that way. it turned out nice I think! LOL 402 and 412...

[Titian06]

Wow, this looks sooo pretty on you, @ChristalM ! 🥰

[ChristalM]

@Titian06 ah thanks!

CANADIAN Chanel lovers, TODAY Shoppers has a Friends and Family Day with 20% OFF for TODAY ONLY! Chanel is included! I called and placed my order over the phone. Mention the F&F coupon; I also loaded it to my PC Optimum card.

Ordered eyeshadows 404, 406, 408, and 412, both blushes, and the two LE lipsticks. I pick them up on Friday. So much for restraint. 😂

Tagging @Mochapj and @ChristalM

I’m so jealous @TraceyEB  Enjoy your pretties. 🥰 

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014, sheer luck that my Canadian SA confirmed my order on the day the store had this promotion, so I added 2 more eyeshadows to the mix. Puts the price closer to the US price + I can take advantage of a spectacular loyalty program. Passing on the Byzance quads also helped to justify the purchase (or so I'm convincing myself). 😂

[Winthrop44]

@TraceyEB Wow, that's fantastic! I hope you love it all!

[TraceyEB]

@Winthrop44, it's sheer luck and makes it a little more affordable as high end cosmetics in Canada can be really expensive compared to the US! Can't wait to try everything. I happened on a points redemption event at the same store when the oversize blush palettes launched with the Spring collection and I cashed in everything I had and felt like I was stealing from the store!

[Sunnysmom]

Stop it @TraceyEB ! You’re so lucky to get to use 20%!! How in the world does Chanel allow that?! Happy for you!! 🥰

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, Chanel is included in discounts and promotions at Canadian department stores. Not sure why. It's needed because otherwise high end cosmetics are almost too expensive to buy at regular price in Canada. The discount puts it closer to US regular price. However, there's a loyalty program at Shoppers that is exceptional, which enhances the purchase. Luckily, I'll be in town later this week so I added a two more eyeshadows because of the discount.

[Sunnysmom]

That’s fantastic @TraceyEB ! For loyalty and for your wallets! Agree with @itsfi , no reason to know why! 💞

(PS also apologies to all for the bombardments. Too much excitement for this silly collection from my end I suppose. 🙃)

[itsfi]

"Chanel is included in discounts and promotions at Canadian department stores. Not sure why." No need to know why @TraceyEB ‌‌ 😂 Just go, go, gooooooo! I'm excited to see what you pick up. I'm hemming and hawwing at the eyeshadows but y'all are making it hard to pass on them with your hauls and swatches. 🛍

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, you are so right about the discount! 😂 I'm trying to be judicious with my purchases, having passed on so much but these eyeshadows are different enough to intrigue me. Curious to see what/if you try after we politely bombard this space swatching our purchases!

[Sunnysmom]

What are you thinking about picking up @itsfi ?! Cool collection! 

[itsfi]

It might be easier to answer what I'm not getting @Sunnysmom! 🤣 There's a long list of things but I haven't really had the time or much energy to put the effort into thinking through what I definitely want to pick up vs what's just really, really pretty. The good news there is that I've not made (many) impulse purchases - hahaha! Well, at least not in the beauty space. 😬 But between you and a couple other folks here (ahem, @blackkitty2014 @Mochapj @TraceyEB), I'm sure all the swatches will make whatever list I have that much longer. 😅 Ummm, thank you?!!! 💸💸💸

[Sunnysmom]

Ha I get it @itsfi . Smart! I’m sure you have lots going on too as I think you said you were doing some renovations as well? Ugh. Fun but also ugh! 😭

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, paint cards sure do provide lots of ideas and inspiration for shades for lipsticks, blush, eyeshadow, etc. 

[Sunnysmom]

That’s so true @itsfi ! More fun too probably! 😆I don’t think I was ever so pained trying to pick out inside and outside paint colors- so many teeny variances in shades of whites/ greys etc! 😭 Will be fun to hear how your projects progress! 💞
