Well, I guess anything's possible but Sam/pixiewoo read "Coquette Rouge Allure" off the bottom of the tube right before she applied...and the Chanel.com lady told me Peregrina was the lipstick used in the official promo pic where it really does look peach. In the last (sneak peek) pic on Sabrina's entry for last night it looks like she bought the 2 RCs...so we'll probably see her review for Peregrina soon.

Edit: Went back and rewatched pixiewoo...it is definitely an RA tube she applies, so it has to be one of them for sure...and she does read both the name and the number off the bottom right before she applies, so I really think that's gotta be Coquette?

The red glossimer looks interesting. Peche Nacree is beautiful, if it works on my skintone I will buy it. I will likely be passing Pearl Drop because I have Blanc Petale. I remember Intermezzo, which I don't like. All of a sudden, the quad reminds me of Garden Party! They look eerily alike in Karen's blog below, and Sabrina's blog!

Well then I am so glad that I didn't get Coquette, but it looks nothing like the very pink color in the chart swatch box. Maybe it just looked weird on in the video. I really want Peregrina because I love how it looks in the promo - just wanted to be sure.

So, it looks like 2 more ls for me - peach & red

Wow everything is looking way to gorgeous! My list is growing again....darnit! I'm oddly attracted to Peche Nacree but I think I need to avoid Chanel polishes. I'll get charged an extra $10 to have them shipped and they are already so expensive. I'm definately thinking Black Pearl look too metallic for me. The quad looks so lovely but at the same time I really don't need another pink, another ivory and another beige Chanel eyeshadow in a quad. I'm a bit of a quad collector though but if it's perm than I can wait! Espiegle is DEFINATELY MINE!!! And so excited its a US formula!!!!

Flamboyante looks insanely pretty but it also looks very similar to Cambon Rouge Coco. I think I may need to see comparisons first. And I'm having way too hard a time getting an idea of what Jersey Rose looks like because my skin tone is way different than Karen and even Sabrina's swatches when they come out may be hard for me to judge but she always does comparison swatches which I LOVE so that will help. Now I just need to win the lottery tonight

^^ I know what you mean - I have gone verrrry wrong with some nude polishes after loving them on Sabrina. I'm usually fine with other types of colors tho. And I also LOVE that she does comparisons. I was really curious about Black Pearl vs Pop Petrol so I was happy she included that one in her review this time. I can't wait to see Sabrina's and hopefully Amy at Cafemakeup's comparison shots of the quad vs the quint! I see that Sabrina got both.

I hope Chanel would stop putting the same ivory and especially the same pink in every quad they bring. A bit of variety would be nice.
For me the quad depends on the rose colour, those are always tricky on me and I will not get a quad for one colour.

MissQQ, you are right, the Garden quad looks really close. Do you have it?

Ok my banana bread isn't healthy per se, but it's healthier than store bought banana bread for sure
angelic.gif
...I only use whole wheat flour and even then i cut the amount of what I need by 25-30%, grass fed ghee instead of butter, and less than half of the sugar required because I triple the amount of banana...it's a good way for the bread to stay moist throughout the week too.

I need to try your recipe! It sounds so good! how long does it take you to make all together?

OK, maybe that does sound like alot ;)

What did you get in your haul??

Wow really?! I actually didn't even know that.....that's good because I was afraid that the shelf life would be too short. That's good because now I won't be paranoid of the quint expiring

I'm not sure if this was posted earlier (the thread grew overnight lol!) but you can view swatches of Nakkar, Aragonite, Espiegle & Jersey Shore Rose over at Musings Of A Muse! This solidified my lemmings for the lippies, enjoy!

EDIT: As I was reading this, I noticed she typed "Jersey Shoe"...was that just a double typo? Shore and Rose? lol.

Thanks for the link. And notice how she calls Nakkar peachy coral or something to that effect. It sure looks that way on my monitor too, not raspberry!

Wow you ladies are chatty! So the pictures are looking goood! I am sold on the blush, the quad and Peche Nacree polish! Liking the looks of these! Jersey Shore Rose looks different in the few pics we have, so I'll have to swatch that in person. Looking forward to some swatches of the peach lippie as well!

The blush is nice but it looks much lighter than I expected. Nakkar also looked more corally on my screen but I'm hoping that it's more raspberry. Also, when I first seen the prelim info, I thought Jersey Rose and Peregrina would be darker versions of Rose Dentelle and Chintz respectively. From swatches so far though, they aren't the same so I am going to snatch them up! I called The Bay in a neighboring city today and she told me that they wouldn't have it until the last week of Jan! O_O.

Chanel Powder Blush - Espiegle
Chanel Eye Shadow Quad - Regard Perle

The colors are SO beautiful in person!!

I love every color in the quad - the dark green black is stunning on all by itself. Its just the way I wanted it to look.

The blush is a beautiful very soft peach with a slight rose pink undertone. I had to layer it a bit so don't let the color in the pic scare you!

Oh my gosh, thanks elegant! They look GORGEOUS! I'm even more excited now, if that's even possible.

P.S. Super cute set-up with the pearls!
