So after about two weeks with the Chanel curler I'm done with it. It doesn't quite fit my almond eyes and black curler + black lashes = I can't see what I'm doing. Back to Nordies it goes. >_> Now to hunt down a Suqqu....

I recently purchased the vanities quad and am sadly quite disappointed. Not nearly as pigmented and the colors seem to sort of lose their crispness and become a mix of blah when used together. Very sad, my first quad that has let me down.

^^ I didn't care for Vanites at all either. Then I swapped for the Euro version and didn't care for it. So yep, couldn't agree more.

Winthrop.. I did not like the Vanities quad either.. because of the texture. The Lagons however were a hit for me and I have yet to use them.. yet.

I am going back and forth on Lagons. I love the way it swatches and the colors are very nice, but I am not sure I need it. Every time I am at the counter I swatch it, stare at it and leave. Taupe on the other hand I would take home with me right away, but it seems we did not get this one here.

bis are you talking about taupe eyeliner?
Yes, seems it was not part of the collection over here. I cannot find it online and also when asking at my counter they were sure that I mixed things up, as such an eyeliner does not exist.

Oh geez. Why don't they just offer the same things in all countries already?! So annoying.
So true. I can understand country-specific collections (well, not really), but the same collection with different content is just plain weird.

I had the same problem here, they were convinced I was making stuff up, the SAs kept shoving Rose Platine e/l in my face!
 
I did actually get it in the end via a CP from the US, but I wanted it sooo bad that it wound up being disappointing! Y'know when you hype something up too much!
Yes, that's exactly what happened to me, they told me it's sold out. So you did not like the Taupe liner.

Is everyone pleased that has purchased the Lagoon quad? I have red hair w/blue eyes so usually stick to browns/plums etc and avoid blues. I love the way that quad looks when swatched. Of course after my nightmare experience at Neiman Marcus not sure I'll be any Chanel for awhile.

I love the quad. The shadows are so buttery and pigmented. I think because they are soft, it's hard to overdo it, but they aren't no soft that you have to use tons of product to get a good color payoff. I'm not the biggest fan of blue shadow, but I covet this quad.

Exactly, Blond Clair is too yellow.
I was very lucky thanks to a lovely MUAer to get hold of the brow pencil in Blond cendre today. It is perfection for me! I know this shade used to be offered in the US and was the most popular shade in MUA reviews. I'd love to know why they don't offer it here anymore.
