Just to stay on the topic of Chanel for another day... here's what I'd like to buy from the Chanel beauty counter:
Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Sienna, $45
Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour in Ardent
And, I saw this gorgeous color, Trapeze, in a magazine but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere yet. I asked at the Chanel counter at Bloomingdale's and no one knew what I was talking about... and the Chanel website doesn't have it either. The only place I could find other evidence of its existence (and a picture) was an ebay auction that had it selling it for $49.99! I would just wait, it should cost $23. The ebay auction says it's a Holiday '09 color so it should be out soon and hopefully it will turn up here on the Chanel site.
I'm having a bit of Chanel day myself... I'm wearing my only Chanel jewelry - a double chain necklace with a double C pendant and double C hanging earrings with camelia flowers. I don't usually wear them together... but what the heck... I bought them both at the Chanel store on 57th street, and what a great experience that is! They are SO nice even to plebians like me who could never afford their clothes. I was impressed by that. I would never buy Chanel on ebay because there are so many fakes, and the real items are usually totally overpriced (like the above nail color). I used to be a bit of an ebay addict, but I've largely given it up. I do not want to support the trade of counterfeit merchandise in any way, and we all know that ebay is a huge facilitator.
