Hope Canada gets it. I'm excited about the red blush and lipstick! 2 more weeks for me!

Polish swatches! I think I'm passing on all three.

I think I'm getting all three, so we even each other out.

pass.. so dupeable for me.. and np lasts about two days anyway -- the only ones that holds for over a week with no chipping are Dragon and Vamp.

 

[Winthrop44]

These nps are all easily skippable for me too.

I think Quartz looks really pretty. HG, is it just Chanel polishes that you get two days wear with? I get decent wear with most of my Chanel polishes. They generally last a good week and a half for pedis and about 4-5 days on the tips.

Oh, and Katred, I think you were asking about the really limited collections in Canada? I know that the Chanel boutique in Toronto generally gets everything, but not sure if they ship. I called once to inquire about Riva and the SA at first was nice, but then when I called back a few days later, she was extremely snotty. Sometimes the Holt's flagship store sometimes gets the some-what limited collections, I know they got the Soho collection in, but if it's a boutique only type collection, they won't get it. I believe they do ship.

Thanks very much. I may go and harass my HR counter here. If I can get them to get something in for me, so much the better. If not.... I'm wondering how The Great Enabler would feel about driving me to Vermont or upstate NY to look for a Chanel counter. (We're actually closer to VT and NY than Toronto, ironically.)

Honey.. ty for the pic.. looks lovely and very neutral..perfect !

nora, it's with Chanel polishes -- Particulaire lasted one day before chipping.. pedis are fine for a week or ten days, but since I work with my hands a lot I do beat up the polish quite a bit... however Opi and Essie have better wear for my hands.. lol. I guess I would be a cheap date

Thanks for the pic Honey&lemongirl -- I luuuurve me some neutral quads

 

[Winthrop44]

Thanks for the link! Feb 2012 for the new foundation? Geesh, that's a long way off.

I don't know if anyone posted this yet, but Maddy Loves has photos of the rest of the Byzance collection! Really good photo of the eyeshadow quad here: http://maddyloves.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/photo-regard-signe-de-chanel-eyeshadow-palette/

And the rest of the collection, with blushes and lipstick here: http://maddyloves.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/photoinfo-collection-byzance-de-chanel/

I'm in LOVE with the eyeshadow palette, even though I don't need any more neutrals... *shifty*

 

[Almus]

Love love love that quad in Prelude! I guess I am not done with neutrals yet

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks for the pic, Honey&Lemon! Pretty quad!

Hey my nail polishes wear time are the same as yours. Opi and Essie wear longer on me too, about 4 days, while Chanel only 1 or 2 days!

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

I'm really digging it too, especially if it's going to be released in the US square-pan formula! *swoons* Neutral colors are always my weakness!

 

[elegant-one]

I love those colors in the quad.

Whoa - read that again - $250 with only 130 of these available!

Vogue Magazine

I just saw this yesterday...$250 for a 5 or a 6 shade palette is ridiculous!
