Haven, the more I think about this the more I think anyone can really pull it off. The RAVs are so easy to use lightly as a stain. I'll probably still skip because the RAVs are very drying on my lips.

I hope that you are right! I have been lemming the plum set ever since I saw the pics online. I find the RAV's rather dry as well, but I may just go for it.

I did a pre order for all three polishes. Trying to make up my mind on the lipsticks.

I'm still thinking about the two polishes I didn't get even though I shouldn't. They're just so pretty.

I agree with Winthrop44 about the color selection. I doubt Chanel will ever go too far out the box...so I'm pretty sure the plum will be wearable for all skin tones whether its applied fully opaque or lightly as a stain. The other 2 colors look like deeper versions of the 2 lipsticks that where in the Nordstrom anniversary collection.
I am a tab bit concerned about the texture as I don't normally go for matte lippies but I know Chanel changed the formula of the mattes last year to be more moisturizing. So I don't think they will be too bad on the drying end and I'm still thinking should I wait to see reviews are just go ahead and order sight unseen. I know these type of collections sell out quickly so I probably should order before the release date.

Same here she said mine won't ship until the 6th or 7th. Luckily it's in the same city as me so I should receive it on Saturday the 8th.

Wow, that's fast. I'm thinking about adding express shipping to my order, as well as the pink and beige polishes. I ordered 3 new RAs from Nordstrom last Friday and they should be delivered tomorrow. I don't think I want to wait a week to get my FNO order. I also didn't realize that the polishes are actually the main attraction of Chanel Fashion's Night Out. That's making me want them even more.

Just ordered the tan and pink lipsticks from Nordstrom. I'm sure they will be available at chanel.com too but, at least with Nordstrom, if I don't like the colors I can return them to a local store.
I hope Chanel doesn't come out with anything new for a while....between these lipsticks and the Blue Illusion colors it's going to send me to the poorhouse!

I was on another forum trying to decide whether or not to order the blue illusion and bombay collections when someone posted that the FNO exclusives were available for pre-order on chanel.com. So I pulled the trigger on a monster order. For the FNO collection, I got all 3 nail polishes and the neutral/nude lipstick. Not sure the the lipstick will look good on me though but I really like the color. Fingers crossed.

Oh - very interesting. I don't remember them ever doing preorders on there before!

Me either! Maybe they were worried about the site crashing if they put it up on Fashion Night Out .

Resistance is futile. I've decided to add the pink and beige polishes to my order. Now I'll have all 3 sets.

I'm on Chanel website with the beige & plum lippie in basket, just need to pull the trigger and click checkout...
Ok I pulled the trigger! Even if I did wait to see swatches, I still really wouldn't know how they would look on me without being able to see them for myself.
So the best thing to do is order and hope for the best.
Also decided not to get the Dior Star Fushia lippie because with the Chanel lippies, it wouldn't get any luv so no point in buying it right now. Ended up with 2 lippies like I wanted too and I'm done with make-up for awhile.

Seriously, I applaud you for sticking to your limit. I used to be able to do that, but I don't know what happened.
