I spent £98 on Chanel make up today

And it better be bloody transmogirifying good!

£98!!!!!! On foundation, loose powder & pressed powder to look swanky carry about my person.

I got the Orange Lady to test it and it did disappear like the Emporers New Clothes but I was mugged, wasn't I?

If anyone says Rimmel is as good, well, there'll be a riot.

lovely. I love Chanel

emsyj · 28/04/2012 22:46

£98 well spent. Rimmel is not as good. And it's a valid purchase, you wear your face every day so why not invest in products that make you look faaaabulous?

ifancyashandy · 28/04/2012 22:47

You're not helping.

Tis bloody lovely packaging though, innit?

Oh no. So not a stealth post. ShittyMcShit.

Bonnie, if it makes any difference I'm freelance so live totally 'feast or famine'. And the famine always makes me question any feast. Although the make up will last 6 months, I lay money on me thinking of selling it in 4.

I did the same thing the other month, except mine was only 60. I got a foundation and the Soleil Tan de Chanel. Both are Amazing, and as long as they dont dry out, they will last me much longer than 6months!

BonnieBumble · 28/04/2012 23:28

I would do the same in your shoes.

10 years ago pre children I bought Chanel and i'm still wearing the blusher and nail varnish. Although that's probably not a good thing as it goes off or so I've heard.

BrianButterfield · 28/04/2012 23:31

OMG you could have got 196 eyeliners in Poundland for that! YABU for being a terrible spendthrift!

(Actually I am Envy at you. It is lovely to have nice things like that. Does the powder compact clunk shut, too?)

ifancyashandy · 28/04/2012 23:45

Brian, guilt guilt...

The loose powder makes me imagine Elizabeth Taylor's dressing table. Thatcan only be a good thing, right?

It's got a proper puff and everything!

Tonight, I shall wear nothing but No5 in bed!

shame I'm eternally single

Enjoy it!

smugmumofboys · 28/04/2012 23:55

I love Chanel make-up. I've got the foundation, loose powder and a few other bits.

It makes me feel all chic and grown-up.

revolutionconfirmed · 28/04/2012 23:58

I am very Envy. I can't imagine having almost £100 expendable income let alone to spend on fat arse little old me.

Chanel is worth it. Their nail varnishes are little treats for myself at birthdays and Christmas and I always get a foundation although it never lasts me more than three months :(

ifancyashandy · 29/04/2012 00:13

I told the orange lady to just put it through the till & not telll me. But I couldn't help but twitch look.

I always buy Chanel for friends birthdays & Christmas coz it's Chanel! & none of their feckless partners get beauty pressie)

WillSingForCake · 29/04/2012 06:46

It's worth it! I bought some Chanel makeup as a treat to wear for my wedding 3 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since.

warmandwooly · 29/04/2012 06:47

Lovely! Did they give you lots of little samples?

Pinkglow · 29/04/2012 10:12

I have my eye on one of their eyeshadow palattes but alas I will have to wait till next payday. Unbelieveable really as we are not in May yet and already my wages are all acounted for Angry

MarshaBrady · 29/04/2012 10:19

I did the same - splurged on loads of Chanel stuff. I feel very indulgent having a Chanel lip balm.

Haven't worn the lipstick yet. First time I have bought an 'SS colour'.

ifancyashandy · 29/04/2012 11:13

You're all making my expensive purchases seem very justified!

I did get free samples. Of a perfume I don't like Hmm. Ebay here I come Grin!
