Chanel's spring collection has been released in the UK yesterday! I got the blush and gloss!
Chanel Spring 2012 collection
- Thread starter Ikram
- Start date
i bought the blush a couple of days ago 
i went at 9.30 am on release day an the chanel lady said it was one of the last ones she had because people had reserved them! i'm guessing this blush must be pretty popular. i can see why though - i don't usually go for pink blushes however this is so pretty - plus it's so much bigger than i thought it would be. and the little brush it came with is really soft and i wasn't expecting that from a brush that comes with a product. I also want to buy one of the lipsticks and the quad but i am going back to the count on wednesday for an appointment - it will be my first chanel makeup application at a counter

I think I read on Temptalia that you can use the bottom half for a peachy/coral colour and the top for a pinky colour so that's what I've been doingi've just been using it by swirling the whole thing together
I absolutely adore this blush, I've been using it ever since I got it - even with the horrible weather And I love the lip colours that I chose - definitely going back for Chalys!

It's heeeeeeeerrrre! I FINALLY got to see pretty much all the Spring collections today- Chanel, Nars, YSL... Guerlain too, but I'd already seen them. I seriously wish I hadn't touched the blush. It's beautiful!!! I mean, I suspected I'd like it, but I wasn't prepared for how much I'd like it... It is quite special.
I really like both Paradis and Destinee, but both kind of look like colours I already have, so I'm not sure on either. Looooooooove Tiger Lily. As far as I'm concerned, that one is definite. I also really liked Rose de Mai, which I didn't expect. It's not the most exciting colour, maybe, but I don't have something exactly like it.
I'm not fond of the baked format quads we have up here- two of the four colours seemed really dry and had hardly any colour payoff. That might work better in use, but I'm a little hesitant to shell out $60+ to find out. I'd rather get the blush... If I get the quad, I'll order it from the U.S.

Lou & Kate----I hope you guys enjoy the blush. I have used it every time I've worn makeup since I got it. I tried to pass on it but in the end it won me over.
It is perfect for pale faces that are afraid of brighter blushes like me.
Lou--You must post some pics after your appt.

The lightest shade in the baked quad has chunky glitters so I passed. What do you feel about YSL spring? I don't have YSL counters here but I saw pics of the collection and I like the quad and quint. The promo pic is stunning!

I picked up Tiger Lily today. Tried on Destinee, but it looked a lot like other colours I had. Their tester of Paradis was worn down to a nub, but I might go somewhere else to get that one... Will see about the blush... Apparently, I got the very last TL they had, which kind of shocked me.
I didn't get a really good chance to look at the YSL collection, but it was quite nice. I would say that it's basically dead-on what it looks like in the photos and I congratulate them for that. The Rouge Voluptes are very pigmented- more than I remember the other perles being. I'm not a huge fan of the formula, because I find it dries my lips and I can't stand the smell. Pigmentation on the shadows looks very good across the board.

aww i forgot to take a picture and now the lighting sucks. basically she used the quad on me to make a pretty everyday look although personally the only thing i would change is to bring the crease colour up a bit higher because that suits my eye shape more. she used the blush (of course!) and the pink paradis lipstick on the lips. she also used various face creams which were really nice and some liner and mascara. oh and she filled my brows too
of course i came home with the quad and paradis! very beautiful!

It's only February but I've been wearing these colors pretty frequently. I purchased alot - quad, blush, lipstick/gloss and I couldn't be more pleased. It's expensive but the quality of the products is excellent. Chanel has spoiled me - I find myself buying less from other brands (which is a good thing considering most of my $$ is going to Chanel). I also find that I don't find that I get bored with their season collections like I do with other brands. I'm still loving the Chanel 2011 Spring collection and wearing it along with the colors in the 2012 collection - it all 'works' so well together.

I bought the Horizon blush I believe a month ago along with the new quad and have been trying so hard to wait till closer to spring to use them. Don't want to be tired of them before it's time, kwim? However I broke down and used the blush today, Love Love Love it .. sigh

I think the star of the Spring Collection must be the Horizon blush, it is so pretty! I bought that and Tigerlily.
