Sigh... The fact that she links the video for Headhunter almost made me want it, but it's way too warm for me... I'm just patiently waiting until the whole collection arrives here. By then, I will have seen so many swatches and gotten so excited about even the things that I can't wear, it'll be pretty ugly when I get to the counter...Gorgeous pics of the highlighter that well, almost make me want it

Hi Michelle, Nora, Elegant, Bis
Anneri, you think the RCs are drying? I've just rediscovered my RA Velvet, and matte texture wise, I think I prefer NARS' pencil matte one (albeit the sharpening). The RA matte is drying my lips.
Oooh... I want Vertigo!!! I guess I do have an unhealthy addiction towards Chanel np
Oh and I love Chanel's single e/s. Well, I only have two, Safari and Fauve, but they are my most worn out e/s.

Hi Cutie!
Yes, for me the RCs are drying. Not drying like some mattes can be drying, but not especially comfortable to wear. Before I wear the RA Velvets, I must be careful to prep my lips beforehand. But somehow, I expect that with mattes, so I may be more lenient towards the mattes in general.
Texturewise I like the Nars mattes a lot, also MACs new matte lippies and the Mattenes. But with the RCs, that's something I want to throw on without any hassle, kwim?

Cute, it depends on the shade in fact. Some are drying, others are not. Destinée is not while Chintz is. Clearly the Rouges Coco are great but not moisturizing formulas. Clinique has good moisturizing lippies but they don't wear very long, the Rouges Coco do. UD lipsticks are not drying at all, I have Gash and Runaway Red both are good. They last well with a primer, without not so much.

Got the quad, blush, and lip pencil. LOVE the quad... I love the idea of one shimmer in a sea of mattes.
That blush is BEYOND. Fabulous! And I love the pencil because it screams Autumn.
The rest of that stuff was a pass for me. I need Chanel to lay off the glitter. Seriously. Big silver chunks are just not cute, ever.

I loved Caprice and it was milky pink but, it did separate on my lips. I didn't end up getting it.

I believe someone said they were similar (although it might have been in another thread). If they are, I suppose it would save me some money.

I checked out the collection today. I passed on everything for now. I do love Sweet Beige and may buy another at some point. I wanted the Sequin Beiges highlighter but it really looked like nothing on me. I may end up getting Vertigo and Frenzy at some point but I really was in no mood for fall colors just yet. I don't know why they couldn't have waited until August. Of course they had no Diwali or Fleur de Lotus or Riviere. Those are the other items on my Chanel shopping list.

I forgot to look at that one. I just ordered Sterling Caviar Stick from Laura Mercier so I probably wouldn't have bought it anyway.Am I the only one that kinda likes the silver eyeliner???

I heard that its really pretty sheered out or lined with the bottom liner. Hard to say for me without seeing it in person.

Hi,
Hope this helps..sorry the photo is watermarked - hope that's okay....
I found the two shades similar...NARS is a bit sheerer, has no shimmer, and looks a little darker. Chanel's version seem a bit more opaque, in comparison, and lighter perhaps because of the shimmer.

Just reposting here. The products used in the makeup are from this collection. Very pretty! There is the Furtif eyeshadow that seems to be missing at the counters at the moment.
