Versailles aka Cruise

[elkaknits]

OMG I hope this is okay and I am not duplicating anything but when I saw the compact of concealer/powder what not in spring thread I googled the versailles collection and found this:

http://www.sandrascloset.com/tag/versailles-de-chanel/

the first post is on the fashion show and the second concentrates on makeup but I didn't spread them out since the finished look on models was so adorable. Not that I think I will be wearing pink eyeshadow......

anybody find a color story about this or other pictures? Any news on US release? Please don't let this be like the Asia thing where we get it years later cus it looks so perfect for spring.

It says this collection will be available in specific points of sales which means Chanel boutiques and beauty stusios. I am dying to see it! I want the highlighter!
And thanks for posting the detailed link!

Hi Guys! Bergdorf's is getting this in soon. You can call and put your name down and they will ship it to you.

Thanks so much, Neicy! Do you by any chance know if they would ship internationally (Canada)?

I am really interested in some of this collection. I must see it in person though before deciding.

Not too sure about the pink eyes, but the highlighter is definitely worth checking out! I don't know what my obsession with highlighters is lately......

 

[CartoonChic]

I know exactly what you mean about highlighters. I got the Poudre Signee highlighter from the Spring 2013 collection, and now I want this one. Will this collection also be available on Chanel's website?

 

[Winthrop44]

Do they show a picture of the highlighter anywhere? What makes you want it?

Honestly, it's mostly because I'm smitten with the Spring highlighter.

I haven't seen any pictures of the Versailles highlighter yet.

 

[Winthrop44]

I see.....

Well Mouche de Beauté is a very cool name.

Amy at Cafe Makeup mentioned this collection in May of this year (link below) and indicated that the collection is supposed to be available this month.....with Chanel's launch inconsistencies lately, it might not be until next month. But hopefully it's soon! I am surprised, though, that they'd have 2 different highlighters so close together.

And then I found this on Chanel.com......must be due to be there soon as well......

^^ That's the Australian Chanel site.

 

[Shypo]

Ahh! Thanks! No wonder it was missing (duh). So was it launched in APJ first?

 

[Winthrop44]

No idea if they actually have it yet or not. I haven't seen anyone on MUA mention it.

 

[Shypo]

Interesting....seems like there would have been more mentioned about it after Amy's post....and as we got closer to the holidays. I think I read that there were products created just for the show - including those interlocking C 'beauty marks'. I wonder if the pink shadow and the highlighter will make it to retail.........

 

[cheburaha]

I called the Chanel boutique in Toronto a couple of weeks ago about this collection and they told me it will be available in the mid-January.

Wonder when it will hit the US? It was supposed to launch 'internationally' on December 4 at 'Chanel counters', but I wonder if their dates slipped? Think I'll give Bergdorf's a call and see if they've received it yet......

UPDATE: Called BG and they have no idea when they'll get it. Not a clue.

Oh, how very Chanel.

The collection didn't appear at my counters too. Will the price of the highlighter be the same as the spring powder? Wonder how it swatches too. It looks slightly more gold than the spring's.

 

[Winthrop44]

Does the cruise collection typically come to counters? I thought it was a boutique exclusive?

 

[MaitaiFluff]

The highlighter is so pretty. I just want a giant collection of all these Chanel powders. I need to ask my Chanel person if she knows anything yet.
