Great that it will be online! I got a text message from the studio with a pic of the triscuit powder and the es single. I think the stocks have arrived but it is launching on 1 August. I wonder if they will allow me to purchase them this weekend although I am not hopeful. Otherwise I have to wait until next Sunday, but I'm not sure if they will hold it so long for me. If they follow the strict policy, they can only hold for 3 days. The es single looks matte/satiny and the MA refers to the powder as an eye palette, so I guess it is made for the eyes but works as a cheek highlight too.

I haven'r read anything one way or the other about Europe. Chanel is so stingy with the info! I'd love to see some swatches.

Hi, this is my first post on Specktra
This collection is available in London at Selfridges already.
The grey single eyeshadow is very matte and a bit chalky when I swatched it.
The Ombres Tissées palette is labelled as an eyeshadow palette but designed to be used as a highlighter too. There is an overspray of chunky silver over the top.
I'm not what the rules are on this forum, but I have closeup photos of the palette on my blog if anyone is interested.

No, it's designed to be a highlighter so it's quite shimmery. But no glitters.
The overspray scared me a bit because when I swatched it in store there was definitely no chunky glitter!
Welcome Sylvie! I love your name (one of my favorite books as a child was the 'Moffats' series, and the older sister's name was Sylvie!) It's so cool that your first post was on the Chanel forum!!! Thank you for the great pics, and the descriptions! I will check out the rest of your blog too! You can put the link to your blog in your signature too!
Don't know if you're familiar with the product, but in the US there's a cracker (I guess 'biscuit' in 'English') called Triscuit - this powder looks exactly like one!!

Hmmm...quite shimmery I may skip. I'll have to take my chances at missing it and wait for swatches.

Thanks, alipstickaday! Winthrop - I hear you. Lately I'm not a fan of shimmery highlighters. I don't have a problem with them in the past. But I want this powder because it looks so pretty in the pan. Cheryl - lol they look alike! Do they taste good? Imagine getting hungry every time we look at the powder..
