Hi thereI read this forum every day, but hesitate to post. I love reading you guys.
I'm going to have to go with Chanel on this one as well. The fall collection looks gorgeous. I think the red blush, lipstick, eye quad, and nail polish are my top picks. But then the cream shadows as well are just beautiful.I guess that I am going to end up entirely passing on MAC semi precious. Most of my money will be heading over to Chanel for the fall collection, with a couple of things from MAC bloggers. I have to stop looking at the MAC forums for a month or so, or at least until the semi precious frenzy is over.
Theres better quality swatches posted hereByzance swatches...

My 'thanks' thumb isn't working again.....
Winthrop, I know what you mean about the mini-version.....I just couldn't resist it -
Elegant, I have the same problem with inner corners, but not because of my nails - my finger's just too big (and my fingers aren't that big) and shadow ends up getting on the area underneath my eye - which isn't always bad......I'm just much better with a brush most days.
I really have issues.
Oh noes I knew I shouldn't have lurked my way in here! I'm always tempted my Chanel polishes but have satisfied my lust with dupes but seeing this collection I want everything! This collection is totally up my alley, red lipstick, and gold accents. I guess I will have to live vicariously through swatches on blogs and here...

Hi Anneri - there is a LE compact that's $250USD that is part of the Byzance collection - the rest of the items are available to the rank and file....and they include a quad (called Topkapi), the 2 JC blushes (Rouge and the gold one), and Byzance RA (lip), and the nail polishes. I think that's it, but there may be other lip colors as well....the Rouge Velvets get launched at the same time too, I believe.
yeah i'm a bit poop at applying things with my finger too! i tend to apply with a finger to my lid and then use a clean mac 217 brush to buff out the edges. but because my finger is also big i end up getting it in my tear duct area towards my nose!! so a q tip soaked in toner helps with clean ups!I have the same problem, I'm no good with blending e/s with my fingers too. Usually I use my ring finger, it is too big (normal size, just compared to my eyes) and I have small eyes. I get it too high up the crease or too far out to the outer lid. I find it harder to control my pinky and it is about just as big anyway. So it's great that the new cream e/s comes with an applicator. I'll see if they are good.
