My local Nordies never heard of this so I'll be stalking the site like nobody's business. Tried on some of Chanel's reds and OMG, why have I never tried these before? I'll probably throw Gabrielle into my cart as well.

I'm not sure that anybody does red like Chanel - always classy & classic

I'm sure you'll love the quad! Hoefully it arrives on tuesday - can't wait! Btw where did you find the spring quint? I've been wanting it ever since I saw swatches on the beauty look book!

Chanel Plumetis Lipstick - A slight pinky nude
Chanel Illusoire eyeshadow - Platinum Taupey Mauve - really stunning in person! hard to capture in pics

LMdB nail polish in Kontagious Koral - stunning reddened coral. The formula is absolutely amazing!

agh, crappy lighting again tonight.

Yes, I have it on one eye now :)

Its really stunning on. Its not very "purpley" on, more of a platinum taupey subtle plummy mauve. I don't like shimmery shiny shadows, but even though this has a bit of shimmer to it - its lovely & it works.
Cassis looks great with it on the inner eye rim.

I'm still trying to decide if I really love Plumetis on my lips. I do, but its not really unique. I wished it looked on my lips like it does on my hand

The lipstick may look different in sunlight tomorrow if you have crappy light there now? That's great to hear about the e/s. I'm still planning to get Ebloui but I'm stuck trying to decide between Illusoire and Emerveille. Did you see that Amy at Cafemakeup thinks Illusoire may be her fave?

No, I missed that - but I agree it is beautiful on. For me its a tie with Ebloui - I still really really love that color on.

See how Illusoire looks on the closed lids in the promo - pretty much how it looks on me!

Yeah, I'll live with the ls :) It is a pretty nude - its my own lip color that I don't like

I think I will get Emerveille too

Ok, I just went to cafemakeup - LOL - I swear we think alike & love the same things - they need to keep it online.

She's right, the lighting plays with these shadows like none I have ever owned - in a good way. Emerveille looks so pretty!!! That will be my next one. I had to laugh that she slept in it & it was still there

I am loving the Byzance quad (is it called Topkapi?)!! So this is going to be available from June 29th? Do you guys know how much it'll cost?

I'm hoping to get my stuff tomorrow - Nordies hasn't gotten it yet, though they got the SKUs. I've decided on Illusiore - and Ebloui is the other one I wanted......along with Emerveille. I'm so hoping they don't irritate my eyes!

i absolutely loooove either the peach or the white shade as a wash on my lid with a light brown shade like MAC Wedge or UD Naked blended in the crease...it's a gorgeous pearly summer look. I also use the darker shade as part of a smokey look (colou depends on my mood), but I always pair them with matte shades in my collection. I use MAC painterly paint pot as base and the sponge that comes with the quint to apply the shade and it works fine for me, the shades last all day.
I have a tone of FOTD's on my blog using this palette so u can have a look if u want :)

Thanks I will! I was using Blackground paintpot as a base and it was still rubbing off *sigh*

I just use my regular eyeshadow base set with a powder. I've found that you need a fluffier brush for these shadows, if I try and use my 239 it's patchy and you have to pat them on, not wipe them but I've never had a problem with staying power =/ I'd say play around with it! It took me ages to figure out how to use them :)

I've tried my 239 and the sponge applicators and fingers. Thanks for the tip! I will try patting as opposed to swiping/rubbing!

Oh those pictures are so beautiful it hurts!! I don't think I have any chance of getting my hands on these if they are Boutique exclusives. I am so IN LOVE with the shades. So much more than the regular fall collection!

Ahh, that sounds perfect for me!
I got the Ken's Korals LMdB ls & np yesterday - omg they are beautiful on. The lipstick is so amazing, so soft & smooth & it does not come off at all! No lip prints on my coffee cup :) It will look great with the Chanel Jade liner too I think.

Elegant that is soooo exciting you got the LMdB Ken's Korals!! I have the Kontagious koral nail polish and Chanel Graphite and Peridot on their way to me now! It finally got me to pay the stupid $10 hazardous goods shipping fee. I just had to have it. I will have to get the lipstick too!

I cannot rave enough about the LMdB moisture stain lipsticks - they are like even better lon-lasting versions of the LM balms!!! I love the texture!!! The np is fantastic too. GORGEOUS! Ive' been snooping out swatches of the ls.
