Thanks for the swatches! Apparition is much prettier than I expected, I will buy this as well as Destination. Please can you let me know when you find out where Destination is available from. I really envy you for being able to go to Selfridges, I won't be able to until end of August. Would you know if this collection is another exclusive? I'll be flying next Friday and was wondering if it might be sold at the airport? Tx.

Thanks for the swatches! I fear even the dark one may be too blue for me, I can really only pull off navy. Does it look kind of like MAC Deep Truth?

 

[elegant-one]

Looks like it has a touch of violet to it.

Thanks for the lovely swatches!

Abstraction and Apparition are so pretty

Thanks for the swatches! I haven't seen Apparition on my counter yet, but from the swatches online I know it's going to be a very "vivid" blue for me.

 

[Anitacska]

I've just contacted both Harrods and Selfridges and neither has Destination and apparently won't be receiving it either. Would any of you kind ladies in the US be able to do a CP for me? I'd really love to get it. Thanks in advance.

 

[jmarie]

I don't mind doing a CP for you when we get it.

 

[Sweetoothj]

I sent you a PM

Does anyone know where this collection is going to be released in Canada? I've asked the Bay and Holts and no one knows about this collection. I'm sooo desperate for Sky line!

Chanel boutique on Bloor has it since yesterday. You might want to check it out. They have the entire collection - both eyeshadows, eyeliner and Skyline))

I went to the Chanel boutique to swatch these. They had a mini collection with nail polishes, the two IdO, the stylo and a really pretty blue coin purse with the Chanel logo. Confirming my earlier suspicions, the light blue one is really pretty for those that can rock it. I am not one of those people. I know the texture is amazing yada yada, but the color itself is somewhat dupe-able. I justified not getting it because I already have MAC ED ES in Blue orbit as well as a handful other light blue metallic eyeshadows. the darker blue one is exactly what I have been looking for! It has a stronger black base than many of the black-based blue eyeshadows and perfect for blue smokey eyes. I am so glad I held out for this. It came home with me!

Hi baghdad81, I got all the items in the collection but I did not see a coin purse you mentioned - was it a gift with purchase or you had to buy it? Thanks!

I just saw it there I didn't buy it.

 

[cheburaha]

Thanks - i thought it was included with your purchase)))

I'm feeling so stupid for not checking the chanel boutique when I was in Amsterdam. They already had it out and I really don't want to make the trip again... Stupid stupid me

The polish and light blue illusion d'ombre are my kinda colours.

FYI for those in Canada, this collection is a Holt Renfrew exclusive. I preordered Sky Line from the Holts in Vancouver. They recently had a huge change in staff with a complete overhaul of the counter staff (for Chanel) so the people who used to be there aren't there anymore. If you're in Canada and want a reliable SA, you can ask for Jessica in Vancouver.
