Thanks elegant and Michelle, I am thinking when I should wear the shoes for the first time. Perhaps I should save it for the Lunar New Year which is on the 23 Jan. Thanks for the comparison of Grenat too!
I saw the swatch of Tigerlily on Temptalia and my first though was orange juice, yum. lol.

Still haven't taken the plunge on horizon. I haven't looked tried it on but have swatched on my hand. I was in Nordies Christmas shopping when I saw it and already had blush on and wanted to try it with nothing on my cheeks. I looked at T's site and she says it is quite similar to Benefit Bellas Bamba or Tarina Tarantino Parasol and of course these are way cheaper.
But is Horizon is truely unique I need it. As a woman of a certain age I don't want frosty cheeks or too much shimmer just a light glow to brighten up my face. I also have oily skin and large pores and definitely do not anything to empasize those.

I am the same -- I have oily skin and large pores and definitely don't like shimmer on my face that emphasizes that. I love the texture of the Horizon blush -- it is glowy and not shimmery on me. I use a matte foundation and powder before I apply blush, which really seems to cut down on any shimmer. I have different peachy pink blushes in my stash, but Horizon is definitely one of my faves!

I have to disagree (again) with Christine. Horizon is nothing like Bella Bamba. I don't have the TT to compare it to. Bella Bamba on me leans more towards watermelon while Horizon is pink.

No, I just swatched them side by side & Bella Bamba is waay more pink red coral pigmented & more shimmery. Horizon is a bit softer more pink peach.
Perfect for us "Certain Age Women"
I took pics but not sure if I will post them because my hands are SO darn dry.

Candeur looks surprisingly pigmented on Christine (at least vs what I was expecting). Hmmm...I may need it after all.

It IS LOVELY on! And, even better, it actually swatched a bit darker on my arm than what its showing on hers....so maybe
Is there a free ship code - or NM?

Nordies - free shipping every day with no code.
I was afraid it would be like Royallieu on pigmented lips. I just rechecked Sabrina's review and she does say it's like Royallieu in terms of sheerness. Well, I guess I will think on it some more.

Thanks everyone. My decision is made. I will definitely have to get it.
Elegant--I know what you mean about the dry hands. I love L'Occitane 20% shea butter hand cream. I keep a small tube here by the computer and a large one upstairs to use right before bed. It feels so good and I love the smell.
The rest of me is loving The Body Shop body butters. They have such a great selection of different ones. I bought a ton of them for gifts when they did the 3 for $30. They had these pretty bronze round tins with plastic inserts to fit 3 perfectly and then you could take that out and use the tin. Many women in my family got a tin of those as gifts. And of course I had to gift myself as well.

Royallieu looks better on Sabrina than Candeur. I didn't get Royallieu and I kind of like Candeur, but I don't know how it will look on my pigmented lips. I want Flirt, it's so pretty on everyone!
Haven't seen the collection but I finally have a list:
Grenat
Flirt
Horizon
Tigerlily
Candeur (maybe)
Paradis (maybe)
and everything else can wait.
I bit the bullet and bought Horizon today! It's so gorgeous. I envy those who live in states without sales tax, because my blush came out to $63! *heart attack* BUT SO WORTH IT! I tried it on right now before bed because I couldn't wait and it looks stunning on my skin (VA B20)

Gail and Elegant -- so are you getting Candeur??
Shadowaddict -- enjoy Horizon once you get it -- you will love it
Nicala -- so glad you got the blush. Is this your first or have you been into Chanel for a while?
MissQQ -- great list -- you can't go wrong with any of those colors!
Cheryl -- did you have a great Christmas with your boys home? How are the new pups?

I'm not sure Michelle. I kind of feel like I have Boy for just a little something like Shypo says.
