I was at Neiman Marcus in the King of Prussia mall last week and I asked about the new JCs that are coming out. The SA knew nothing about any new JCs but mentioned that they would be getting an eye palette. I assumed she was talking about this one.

*squirms* This is nothing but colors I use on a daily basis, and if the texture of the shadows is anything close to the same as the Topkapi quad I'm getting this day 1. I don't even want to think of the price, but I'm turning 30 this year and if it's out before May I'll nag ask hubby if this can be a present. :3

lol..nag. I can't wait to see the swatches. I think that I am going to get it also..Day 1. I have a friend traveling to Paris soon and if it isn't in the US before he goes, I will ask him to pick it up for me. I loved the texture of Topkapi however, I think I prefer the colors of this palette.
Isn't it this one? Гостевой пост: Обзор палетки Chanel Les Ombres Matelassees 51 MONTAIGNE – Bella_Shmella
I saw that post a while ago, but I thought the palette was from an old LE.
off topic: Do we have a thread for the Fall collection yet? I NEED that taupe-brown-lavender blush! And Frenzy n/p, so excited for these.

I'm not sure if this will be the regular fall collection, but I really hope so. That blush looks so interesting, I haven't seen anything like it.
There are more pics where you can see the models wearing the blush

^^ Thanks. The blush looks neutral and ashy, not sure how it will look on me but I think I need to use it with another pink blush to not look like death. Maybe it is pretty as a soft contour. Looks like it matches the nail polish. Those crystal stone brows looks beautiful as hair clips.
Ikram - thanks for the link. Right now I think I want the palette.

Yes, I think I would also use it as a soft contour and add some neutral pink blush on the top of the cheeks. I'm sure there's a way to make it work for different skintones, even though it may look a little scary on the models.

I don't think I'd have any use for that blush. Maybe as an eyeshadow. Or maybe I'll like it more if it looks different in person?
Sabrina did a great review of the palette:

Her pics are always the best imo. I am passing anyway tho.

I like the look of the palette. I will need to search my stash though and see what dupes I have first.
Love the np. Will definately buy that when it comes out. I don't think that the JC would look good on me. I would definately have to try it first before buying - possibly as a contour?
And the stone brows

This is probably my least favorite look Chanel has done - at least from those pics. It just looks ghastly. Maybe I'll change my mind later, but thats my first impression.
