\link{http://www.garden.co.uk/catalog/vitalumiere_compact_30.html\it is a Chanel colour}

MeggLeVache · 17/04/2006 13:19

Yes but that's for the compact - not the liquid. She definitely gave me some runny liquid which she dispensed using a pump.

On all your recommendations I just bought some of this in the duty-free at the weekend (in clair - they didn't have any limpide which is what I thought I would need but the assistant persuaded me it would have been too pale anyway) - only £17.60 so worth stocking up if you get the chance. By coincidence my sister who I was visiting had just bought the exact same shade!

swedishmum · 19/04/2006 17:17

None in T2 at Heathrow - obviouly the MN word got around before I could buy any.

No Chanel stockists in Farnham, will have to go to Guildford just to get a sample.

Toots · 19/04/2006 17:40

Megglevachhe I too have vitalumiere in 30 cendre with 1.5 intensity. Full size pump bottle. So it must exist Smile

swedishmum · 20/04/2006 07:25

Dh just got me some in Budapest duty free - it had better be good after all this hype. I need all the help I can get!

anchovies · 20/04/2006 07:35

I am off for a mad splurge today, have got to get some of this stuff you all rave about - absolutely love makeup! Is there anything else I desperately need while I am there?

webchick · 20/04/2006 10:04

Does anyone know any big Boots in central or south (Croydon?) London which stocks Chanel? I have a load of Boots points to use up ;) Thanks.

cod · 20/04/2006 10:04

jalopy · 20/04/2006 20:26

Well...did you try it?.... What's the verdict, swedishmum or anchovies? Grin

hoxtonchick · 20/04/2006 20:31

the big boots on oxford st, near bond st tube has it. but i failed to get any testers last week from john lewis/house of fraser/debenhams/boots Shock. might just buy it anyway....

NotAnOtter · 20/04/2006 20:32

i am pale skinned and blonde what colour would you recommend?

Pinotmum · 20/04/2006 20:33

I am pale and I have Limpide - it's perfecto!

NotAnOtter · 20/04/2006 20:35

i am sorely tempted!

Pinotmum · 20/04/2006 20:37

Go on, you know you need a treat and it lasts ages. One squirt does a medium sized face Grin

thanks pinot - will i be impressed? ( only since birth of db no 5 ....eight weeks ago have i decided more make up is a necessity and its only going to get worse!)

Pinotmum · 20/04/2006 20:46

I think you will be impressed! I was told that a dusting of loose powder would be OK if/when required during course of the day by the Assistant so that's a possibility Tipex.

I'm a brunette with pinkish tones to my skin. Can anyone hazard a guess what shade would transform me? Reluctant to have face made up..always imagine that I will resemble Arabella Weir's character from the Fast Show..the south african make-up lady.

HelloMama · 20/04/2006 20:55

Ooooh! I have read so much about this product [licking lips emoticon] I'm off to London tomorrow for girlie weekend and am going to get some! Not sure about pushchair obssession, but I definitely have a make-up addicition!

swedishmum · 21/04/2006 10:25

Mine's on a plane home at the moment in dh's bag - about time as I was up with the puppy most of the night and look entirely dead.

cod · 21/04/2006 10:26
