Chanel Holiday 2012 - Eclats du Soir de Chanel

[elegant-one]

Ughhh I feel now that I need Star Dust, I kinda ignored it at the counter and maybe I shouldn't have.

Elegant One - Your pictures are always the best! Abstraction is beautiful! I feel that it would look great on someone with blue eyes especially *cough cough Kate*

Aww, thanks hun

Its such a beautiful feminine es on - I really really love it.

And, OMG of thought of Kate too immediately! The new video on chanel.com also reminded me of Kate - the eyes/hair!!! Go watch it guys if you haven't seen it. Click the new pic which pops up first when you go to the site.

So so so pretty! <3

All baked eyeshadows will soon be reformulated ( not enough pigmentsq in those quads ) and single regular eyeshadows will be completely reformulated ( considered as bad here ).
I have 4 quads and I agree, even several layers provide no good coverage but makeups are very subtle and pretty, so I hope this reformulation will be good.
Blushes have a solid ( and very very good ) reputation, no reformulation ( at least in Europe ) but new shades ( we now have Rouge, Ultra Rose, Malice and Tumulte they are gorgeous and I often wear them ! ).

So the new (EU) Ultra Rose blush is the better baked version?

I appreciate all your helpful information!

talc, polyethylene, mineral oil, lithium stearate, lanolin alcohol, fragrance, magnesium myristate, methylparaben, serica (silk powder), propylparaben, hexamidine diisethionate, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, citral, citronellol, geraniol, linalool. May contain: a bunch of dyes, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, mica.

** Since I wrote this we were lucky enough to get PE in the US formula. I'm hoping we'll eventually get Ultra Rose in the US formula as well, but...who knows! I have heard it is a relatively good baked one though.

Edit: Also, if you are ever wondering which one you have the easiest way to tell is by the weight. The US ones are 6g and the Euros are 4g.

I went shopping in the Netherlands today, and boy was i happy to see that Sephora already had this collection in

When i saw the products i rushed to them and immediately started swatching them like a mad woman, two SA's were just looking at me and at each other like 'um okayyyy ..' lol

I didn't really care, i've been waiting like forever for this release so hey i have an excuse

The first thing that catched my eye was the Harmonie du Soir quad. All you ladies that have been raving about this quad, YOU WERE SOOOO RIGHT, when i saw the quad in person i just knew i had to get it right away. Then one of the SA's came to me and she dusted Star Dust over my cheeks. I immediately fell in love with it when i looked in the mirror

Such a beautiful blush for the holidays, although i certainly see myself getting daily use out of this blush as well. The shimmer is just lovely

Last thing i got was Malice nail polish, such a stunning red shade. And even better, there was a '50% off sale on every second makeup product', so i got my Star Dust half price

So happy with my new goodies

WOW Sephora carries Chanel? Great on the discount. We never get deals like that especially on Chanel. I'm so happy for you - Enjoy!!!

Yes it's a good version I mean a pretty shade. Bright ( much brighter than the other JC except Rouge or Plum Attraction which are intense ). Ultra rose is between rose and fuschia, nothing in common with Pink Explosion which is soft, it's a baked version yes as all JC ( we have only baked formulas in France ) and it's some kind of a girly shade.

 

[Winthrop44]

Wouldn't not having mineral oil be better? It wouldn't cause breakouts right or not?

I know right! Look at the rose necklaces. Gorgeous

For my skin the US formula is much better. The baked irritate my rosacea and I think it's the zea mays (corn) starch that's the problem because I have problems with another brand (Laura Mercier, 2nd ingredient) blush that also contains it.

Thanks, i certainly will!

And yup, Sephora in the Netherlands carries Chanel, don't know about other European Sephora stores tho.

 

[Anneri]

Liz, would you share how much was the quad in euros? Just interested...

The quad and Star Dust

The quad and Star Dust

Great choices

I hope you're able to order them really soon

 

[MissTT]

Liz! Good on you for getting 50% off that is incredible.

 

[Antigone]

Liz, I am so envious especially of that awesome discount! We never have discounts here

Ultra Rose turned out too "strong" and fuchsia-ish/reddish on me. My heart is broken. </3 Now I'm lemming again for the Star Dust.

I'm sorry Ultra Rose didn't work out for you

Definitely check out Star Dust tho, it's simply stunning!

LOL

Yup, thanks to the sale my Star Dust blush was really a bargain. I should've gotten 4 products instead of 3 to take full advantage tho, but imo i was already doing enough damage with my quad, blush, and nail polish lol.
