@MeMiV, they do make some great fragrances. What's your favorite Chanel fragrance? Or, with fall around the corner, do you have a fall go-to from the brand?

[MeMiV]

I've only tried them as samples when I order.  I believe I tried the Coco fragrance and really enjoyed it.

[TraceyEB]

FYI. Has anyone tried Chanel's loose powder?

[Sunnysmom]

They are light as a feather @TraceyEB , lovely. I did just see the new travel size and it’s still quite generous and refillable, tho not a big bargain. Lol. Is anything anymore?! 😭 The shade Rosy Light looked especially ethereal!

I currently use and like the loose powder.  It has a light scent and it is easy to use without looking overdone.  My only complaint is about the full size packaging.  Like other brands have updated packaging to keep the powder from getting messy if you want to travel.  I was in the Chanel beauty boutique recently and saw these travel powders but they are one third of the size but cost more! $58 (full size) vs $65 travel.  So you’re definitely paying for the packaging.  I passed on this even though I really wanted a travel case.  I’ll stick with transferring powder to a travel jar for now.  
The pressed powder is okay but I find it gets hard and eventually starts crumbling in a circular pattern from the center.  This is a known “feature” of the pressed compact.

@Sunnysmom  I transfer the powder very carefully!!  I shake up a small amount into the top then carefully tip it to the side so the powder collects in one small area.  Then I pour into my travel jar, which has a wide mouth so it’s easy to not make a mess!  

perhaps when I am finished with my current jar I’ll look into the travel ones.  

[Sunnysmom]

That sounds like a good plan @misst ! 💞

[Winthrop44]

@misst The refills are $49, so that’s nice.

[Sunnysmom]

That’s a smart idea to transfer some powder to a travel jar @misst . How do you do it so it doesn’t make a mess?! I’m afraid I would be a disaster at it! 🤣

More Holiday releases: At the end of her video, Michelle revealed that Chanel is releasing three 9-pan palettes in their Holiday collection. The layout will be circular pans like Chanel quads (vs rectangles) and the shades are gems and jewel tones. Wallets are on notice!! 

[Winthrop44]

@TraceyEB Thanks! I am safe from jewel tones.

[Sunnysmom]

Whoa @TraceyEB , wallets on notice indeed! Sounds beautiful.

One of the blushes in the holiday collection.

@Sunnysmom @Winthrop44 

I’ve seen a few different sets of swatches of this holiday quad and it doesn’t seem to swatch as darkly as it looks in pan. This was the only swatch photo I happened to save tho

Thx @Mochapj . This definitely has holiday vibe. I’m excited for it 🥰

[Winthrop44]

@Mochapj Thanks very much for the swatches. For some reason I had missed everything on this one.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @Mochapj , that makes sense . More of a topper/ sheerish idea. Shades are really nice. 

[Sunnysmom]

Some images a bit blurry , from Glowscope1 IG for upcoming holiday. The shadow quad looks so gorgeous! So it must be a purpley inky blue grey situation @Winthrop44 ?! Ugh so pretty! All of it. The lips and blush! 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @Sunnysmom 🥰 We need some of these don’t we 😘

[Sunnysmom]

I don’t want to want it @blackkitty2014 @Winthrop44 ! But I’m afraid I will! 😭 Unless it’s totally a glitter fest and doesn’t show up then maybe not! 

[Winthrop44]

Thank you @Sunnysmom !!!
