I thought you'd like to see a very special gift given to me by my sister-in-law, Grace. It's a new Chanel Sheer Colour Lipshine called "Panerea." Panarea is one of the Aeolian Islands that sits in the Mediterranean Sea of the coast of Sicily. Today it has become a premier vacation spot for the glitterati.
My sister-in-law was born there some years ago. She left Panarea with her Mom, Dad, 2 sisters and a brother back in the 1950s and has lived in the United States ever since.
Let's see what you have today for Ruby Tuesday.

Oh those are cool colors, but I wouldn't look good with them on! :-)
Wonderful color!
XOXO LOLA:)
Chanel makes some pretty colors! Noting is more fun than a lipstick. I alwyas feel special when I'm sporting new lips...
How glamorous to have a luscious lipstick shade named after your home town!
Wow, talk about stretching the limits of red. Beautiful shots. The angles you have chosen are as dramatic as the color itself.
Oh I love it..I really should wear more lipstick. Hubby love the red ones.
Drop by I'm showing My Christmas cactus In the spring.
Those are some very rich colors.
Look like such a rich color!
Hi everyone, Im back, hope you like my entry.
What pretty lipstick. Happy RRT!
How cool is that, to have a lipstick with the name of one's hometown.
I like that deep shade of red.
Darling daughter brought me a Chanel lipstick from London. by the name of Rouge Allure.
It's so soft and creamy.
Matching perfectly to my garden red hands!
great colors! Happy RT!
Looks like great colors :)
sheer anything is great after the age of 60. :o) ... Oh, well, not lingerie!
great shotsxhappy week!xxlynda
Can't beat this, Mary! What a gorgeous shade of red and just the name *Panerea* sounds so romantic to this Italian girl's ear. Many thanks for sharing :O)
Wohoo a CC, love it! Mine us up!
RRT~Garbage can
Those lipstick colours have an exotic tone to them! Must unusual with a hint of hushed mystery!
Panarea -- I am leaving now to look it up (the Island, not the lipstick -- I think I'm too pale and wimpy to get away with wearing that dramatic color.) But I learned something today - having never heard of Panarea before.
You ARE a good teacher !!
I love that rich, deep purple shade [at least it looks purple through my monitor!]
I wish I was part of the glitterati!! I need to be on an island, rich in culture and beaches galore. Fine food, fine dining, and a bit of nighttime entertainment with glitz & glamour. Awwww, to dream.
My Ruby Tuesday will be up at Midnight Central Daylight time. Or maybe earlier, if I get it finished. LOL
classic, very sweet
They sure look good in the case, but I don't think I'd wear the purple- look better on a teen!
visiting here before i sign-off! thanks for sharing these images! cool lipstick!
The lipcolor sounds expensive and I'll bet it's luscious! I also love, love, love your header photo of the field of poppies.
My post is photos taken by my fiance during a business trip to Zurich last week.
Take care and thanks for your faithful hosting of RT!
Very nice gifts! How cool to have a Chanel lipstick named after her hometown!
That looks lovely!
The header photo is a real Ruby Tuesday winner.
Pretty shades!
Nice!
Time well Spent
What a wonderful find! I hope you'll treasure it forever.
Very nice! I love those colours and the drama of your shots. Love the name, too.
Bet you look great in this color.
How thoughtful of Grace! So are you going to show us what it looks like on your lips? :)
That's pretty classy! How do these colors work for you? I know some women glow with certain colors and others, not so much.
At any rate, thanks for these photos and their back-story!
That link in the mr linksy is one letter off so it mine link goes nowhere.
accidents happen
Nice pair of lipstick! Lovely color too.. nice choice!
I love how you shot the lispticks, right out of Glamour mag :)
Lipstick can be great fun, if the color is right! I had to enter this - my Mom and daughter's name is Ruby!
A lovely gift from ur SIL.
Now apply some on your lips have and head out for a night downtown! :)
Rich, dramatic colors! Takes a bold woman like you to wear such bold colors! :D And Chanel, how luxurious!
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
You should apply the lipstick, take a picture of your lips and put it up for Ruby Tuesday. :P
How lovely to have a lipstick named after one's hometown. I would love that too.
Those are pretty Mary :) Happy Ruby Tuesday!
All the people in Panarea should claim some patent money from CC.
Wow, what a lipstick ! looks rather brown then red to me. I never wear lipsticks, it just doesn't suit me.
Panarea must have been very poor in the 50th, no wonder that so many Sicilians left their country. Lots of them imigrated to Belgium too, to work in the coal mines.
late again i am teach!
but better late than never, eh?
you have a very sweet sister in law!...happy ruby tuesday...love terry
I'll have to check it out at the store, it looks cool!!!

Such a beautiful name. The colour of the lipstick is cool too.
Those are great colors!
A Chanel lipstick in any colour is wonderful!!!!! This shade, tho looks like something I would enjoy ... need to check it out! Thanks, Mary for the opportunity to share.

Hi, Mary! Just found your meme-- I knew about bookish memes but didn't know there were photo memes-- I'm a bit of a newbie. Why there must be millions of memes for every category of blog-- the mind boggles!
I've linked up my first photo! How exciting!
:o)
that's a lovely gift from your SIL and those are cool colors. i'm sure the lipsticks look great on you. Happy RT!
Such a great story to share and a fantastic shade of lipstick!
I love Chanel lipstick, too! :) Good RT entry. :)
That looks like a wonderful shade! I've been looking for a new lipstick and I think I might have just found it> :)
Cool shots.... I like a lipstick with a story behind it.
You can never go wrong with Chanel!!!
Sparkly Hugs,
Tobi and the Pixies!
Pretty lip color ~! I stopped wearing lipstick.
I do like Burt's Bees lip glimmer or whatever it is called!
Nice angle on the lipsticks. Great perspective.
