Yup I did also @Winthrop44 . I wish I didn’t like the packaging ! 😭 Maybe the shades aren’t good. Lol 

[Winthrop44]

@Sunnysmom the colors I just saw on zoetaylormakeup Instagram looked pretty nice so you might need a different excuse. I just read they’re refillable. Several people were raving about the formula and someone said it’s all about getting one case and multiple refills. I wonder how the other line of refillable lipsticks is doing. They were pricey too.

[Sunnysmom]

Yes @Winthrop44 I’ve seen a few pics as well but I was fearful to post anything yet as this was to be such a little secret thing I guess and they’re tricky. Lol. Worst kept secret I think! It does look like a pretty special little set tho I hope the refill is easier to manage than the last one. 😖Those weren’t my favorite. Much as I like the idea I find them slightly annoying to change out vs just buying the case! 😭 I’d heard the set was around 200 as well which I suppose makes sense if you think about the case plus 2-3 lippies. Ugh. Sounds like we shall see soon eh?! 🌸

@Winthrop44 **stares at all my Dior refillable cases** I don't understand why people are so obsessed with refillable cases 😂. Hmmm this could be trouble.

[Winthrop44]

@niki172 @Sunnysmom  wz_beauty on IG says they come in a set. The pic of the set there looks like it has the glass lipstick case, what looks to be a soft silver case for it, and two lipstick refills (same or different colors I have no idea). Someone commented that their SA told them it would be 150 Euros. I believe that’s $164.

[blackkitty2014]

Isn’t our SA said the set around $200 US @Sunnysmom 😘 I hope this is good. Chanel has been released lot of gimmick things lately 🤣😂

[Sunnysmom]

That’s what we heard yes @blackkitty2014 ! Waaa 😭! 

[Winthrop44]

@blackkitty2014 So the price is even higher. Great. 🙄

[blackkitty2014]

@Winthrop44 @seems to me all these brands try to compete who the biggest money grab there is 😂🤣

[Sunnysmom]

Not sure if someone mentioned yet but the new No.1 Skin Enhancers are on the site now. 

[niki172]

If someone tries out the skin enhancers please let me know what you thought about it. I go back and forth with that and the Sheer Healthy Glow highlighting fluid. The color Pearly Glow almost looks like I could wear it as a light foundation as well as reviews say it's not sparkly or metallic. I'm still on that hunt for something I can easily slap on and go for the summer so I have a bit of coverage (I feel weird only wearing concealer maybe that's just me IDK I feel unfinished with just some coverup for under my eyes). I'm just curious how thick/thin they are and with summer road construction (soooo much fun!) it would take me about 2 hours to get to a Saks or a Neiman Marcus to try these out. It's been almost 15 years and I'm still upset that we lost our local counter.

[Sunnysmom]

Ok here it is @niki172 @Titian06 @Winthrop44 @blackkitty2014 etc. It’s pretty and not quite as shiny on. More of a flat primer with a tiny bit of illumination I would say? Last pic is most accurate. Blackkitty will have to weigh in once she tries hers too. I didn’t like it quite as well on its own vs under or mixed with my tinted moisturizer or Supergoop glow. So maybe I defeated the purpose. 😆 Maybe it’s blurring I’m just not sure what this is all about. Lol. Was it really necessary for me. No it probably wasn’t. Sigh. ( I will say I got both the WA new drops and the RMS and they are both very very good. Highly recommend. I’ll post some swatches in a bit.) Hope this is helpful to anyone debating it! 

[blackkitty2014]

Okie gang, I used this one today. It’s a bit thick and has the Camelia scent just liked other no1 products. I pull peachy on me more than pink. I don’t hate it but I don’t know what it does. I don’t see any special affect. I will use this for the next week or so to see if I like it more but so far this is just okay for me. I have a feeling it will be just liked my no1 foundation. I will finish it (cuz it’s expensive lol) but won’t repurchase @Sunnysmom PS I liked the Chantecaille pink jar way way more. Probably better to pay extra $20 to get the Chantecaille one😘

[curlychiquita]

@blackkitty2014 @Sunnysmom I found the post! I'm happy to read Blackkitty2014's feedback before I buy. I think I will stick to my Chanticaille bronze color for an illuminator. 

[Winthrop44]

@curlychiquita Glad to hear you and @blackkitty2014  say that as I just ordered the Chante the other day before this discussion came up.

[Sunnysmom]

@curlychiquita oh shoot I’m so sorry! I meant I thought she would comment on the July hauls thread or I would’ve added this one for you!! Lol. Didn’t mean for you to have to search for it!! I was clear as mud! 🤦🏻‍♀️😘 Do you have the other Chanel Les Beiges Sheer Glow Fluid whatever it is? The shades are great and similar to the WA glow drops. I feel like you do have one too. 

[Sunnysmom]

Yup @blackkitty2014 this one is a bit of a mystery to me too! 😆 Agree on thickness and color. I suppose the idea of skin enhancing or correcting is part of the formula plus the Camellia skin care addition. If not for that I don’t think I’d consider it. I won’t repurchase it either. Gonna take a long time to go through the bottle tho! 😭

[Winthrop44]

@Sunnysmom Thanks so much.  A question from your uber sensitive skin friend: Which is more fragrant, the Chanel or the WA? I am super sensitive to fragrance and can’t wear most Chanel face products for that reason.  I was surprised to see that Gucci put fragrance in these new drops.

[Sunnysmom]

Well @Winthrop44 I will say the Chanel smells like the other No 1 Camellia products and has that quite strong floral but pretty scent. If most Chanel is too much for you I don’t think you’d love this sadly. Very similar.( I think @blackkitty2014 would maybe agree. Will see what she says.) The WA has more of a citrus floral smell tho it’s def there as well. They’re prob equal in strength depending on if you can handle the citrus blend better. The WA is clearly more oily and luminous tho you don’t use all over so it’s very doable. The RMS has the most neutral scent. Gonna tag you on a post to Niki of some differences in a new pic. 🥰

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom thank you so much for this! It's really pink which is great for sallowness but you don't have that problem - the formula looks a little thick and I'm kinda confused by it? IDK may be lack of sleep talking here lol. Would love to hear more about the WA/RMS drops you got. I think I looked at the RMS drops and thought that they may be too dark I may have to go back and look. Thank you again for the pictures 💜! Maybe you can mix it into a foundation that isn't quite the right colour match to help????

[Sunnysmom]

I’m gonna add this new pic for you @niki172 if at all helpful. Tagging @Winthrop44 @niki172 @Titian06 @blackkitty2014 too. 

The WA is def more oily and luminous glow tho no sparkle at all. Easy to manage as it is a highlighter idea vs all over tho I think I will mix it and use it everywhere on dry days! The Chanel is thicker and slightly less than a flat matte and is a neutral pink almost peach. Blends into nothing on me however. The RMS is in-between in formula thickness , less than Chanel with more luminosity and is neutral but still light. I really do like it. ( I feel like RMS is underrated and I hope not leaving Sephora tho I see it’s marked down sadly. 😢) Chanel’s scent is the traditional Camellia No 1 scent and def there. WA is a citrusy floral and also noticeable and RMS is the most neutral of all. Barely smell it lightly. Chanel and WA are similar in scent strength I would say , just different. 

Hope this may help anybody! 🤗🥰
