No you didn't!!!!I did the same thing LOL!
Love Evanescente. I keep eyeing Furtif. I think it is meant to be.
Furtif is beautiful on. I don't normally even wear those colors, but this one is done really well.

Did you get Charactere? So much more fun than shopping for window treatmentsMe too! Oh my goodness. :eyelove: This is added to my shopping list for the event at my counter this weekend--which I managed to snag an appointment for, before my hubby takes me out to dinner. I just hope it's available there. I didn't look for it but I was distracted by the Illusion de ombrés that day. And the fact I was supposed to be shopping for window treatments. :guilty face:
I know, pesky mundane household needs always seem to get in the way. But I manage to find the time for the important stuff I didn't get Charactere but I did give it some love time lol. It's so pretty, I love the way it shImmers a bit (Chanel seems to have a lock on gorgeously :eyelove: shimmery things without ever going 'too much', I've noticed?) and isn't too dark (for me personally- out of comfort zone) and I think it will be a perfect fall shade. I will be getting it next time I'm fairly sure. I think it will be a very pretty work-safe shade. But that title doesn't do it justice! It's not boring.Did you get Charactere?

It is embarrassing how many times I have worn that combo since last week! LOL Yes, the blush is very pretty!Venus and Pinkarat! Ooh that combo sounds so pretty! Oh no another rave for the blush.
I stopped at the Chanel counter to take another look at Furtif. I also looked at Infini. I'm convinced I must have something similar. I have to check my stash. I'm thinking one of my Mac shadows but I know it's not as shimmery. Also, I'm thinking maybe one of the Summer Armani ETK - there were gray and blue shades. I will look at those. Infini looked so pretty! Let's see if I can find a dupe before the Nordies sale which is the next time I expect to be at a counter.No you didn't!!!!I suddenly feel so much better

Let me know if you're able to find dupes of either Furtif or Infini. The collection hasn't made it up here yet and, unfortunately, the lighting isn't great at any of my Chanel counters.I stopped at the Chanel counter to take another look at Furtif.

BTW can anyone compare the gold shade? I'm surprised there is a gold shade since I believe there was a gold shade in the last couple of collections. I wonder how this one is different.
I just looked through my stash for the two colors I thought it might resemble. One was Armani ETK #21 (can't recall the name) and Mac Fashion (starflash shadow). The Armani was more blue on my skin. The Furtif definitely looks gray to me with a blue cast to it. As far as my skin tone goes, a lot of grays read a little blue on me. I think the Armani was lighter and more sparkly than Chanel Furtif. The Fashion shade was definitely blue and the finish was very different. I will say that the Armani was closer of the two. I think maybe if you built up the color of the Armani in layers it would probably be closer but much more sparkly so I don't know if you would really get the same effect as the Chanel.Let me know if you're able to find dupes of either Furtif or Infini.

Thanks very much! I have to say, I had the same reaction when I saw the "after 8 hours" pic. I was thinking "If my shadow looks like that when I get home from work, I'm happy". I guess it makes a difference in how you view things if your job is looking at all sorts of different cosmetics. You become aware of all sorts of little flaws that others don't notice so much. I'm still thinking about Furtive, although I loved the swatches I saw of Complice on Temptalia too. She listed a bunch of potential dupes, but I didn't have any of them. So that means I'm clear to buy it, right???I just looked through my stash for the two colors I thought it might resemble.

As far as Infini goes, I still need to look around for more products in my stash. Since I just got Laura Mercier Sterling Caviar Stick and still haven't used it, I tested it on my hand. It looked very similar when I blended it out, but maybe more sheer than Infini. If I just rubbed it on and didn't blend it, it didn't look similar at all.
I haven't done any side by side comparisons though. Maybe next time I'm in the store, I'll swatch Armani, Chanel and Laura Mercier together to get a better idea.
I was looking for a pic and I noticed that Christine at Temptalia swatched Infini but gave it a D rating. I love to look at her pics but I admit I rarely read the reviews. Since I was swatching, I decided to read it. She said Infini went on dry and patchy. But I thought her pic of Infini after 8 hours of wear looked really good.
