Spanky, Best Things in Beauty featured the Mouche de Beaute powder, and mentions where it can be purchased if you are in the US. Read the comments as well as the text: http://bestthingsinbeauty.blogspot.com/2013/01/mouche-de-beaute-illuminating-powder.html

I can't order it thru a boutique because I haven't "visited a Chanel boutique before"... Really, this is a ridiculous policy. If they don't have a 'boutique' in my city than how can I ever buy something exclusive to boutique shoppers??? Perhaps this is a good thing..I'm very turned off by this policy. I have so much on my mind right now & this is pushing my buttons. Thanks Medgal, Elegant One & Winthrop for your help.

Where I work we're not supposed to help customers over the phone that are not "our clients" to prevent people buying a whole bunch of stuff with a stolen credit card and having it shipped anywhere they like. Even though they are Chanel cosmetics, they are still a hot commodity and can be easily resold. Even though it's a frustrating policy, I understand why it's in place. Call a Nordies, they're usually nicer about things like that.

So I feel like a dummy. Its the same powder with 3 different names attached to it

I just hadn't noticed that

I know! I am a Chanel handbag and accessory buyer and am in their system, so I can order and do. It is crazy! But they can not ship classic flap bags, you have to go in person.
If anyone needs anything, pease let me know. I have done cp's for boutique exclusives before. Damn Chanel and exclusitivity. sp? LOL

 

[Neicy]

I'm referring to the Poudre Lumiere Nacree, which I think was an Asia exclusive....it's an illuminating powder very similar to the EL Modern Mercury......

I saw on the Guerlain thread that you ordered your Sakura blushes - are you in Europe? I'm so anxious to see if it comes to the US!!! Winthrop said that Izzy's will get it this spring, but I'm hoping we can have broader access to it.....fingers crossed!!!

Hi Hun, I am in the states on the east coast. I got a CP for the blush from my UK friend, I need more for friends.
She was only able to get 2 and I promised 3 people. OY!

I hope she scores more in person this weekend.

Yes, the powder you got is soo pretty, it is like the LA Blanc Perle from 2 years ago, but rosier. I got the Versailles. I want the one you got too. I have a highlighter problem! Oh and EL Tese Blush is soo fab, you need that too!

^^ I have EL Tease and find it

. I think I'm 'too old' for it - it's too frosty for me. I haven't played around with it since the first time I used it, so perhaps it's something I need to work with. I did send my backup back yesterday though - more for others .

I'm really hoping this comes to the US!!

My Saks SA just got in stock for the Mouche de Beaute Powder! Just PM me and I'll send you her details if you're interested. I know that she also has the pink eye shadow. I don't know about anything else.

 

[Neicy]

I also got my powder from Bergdorf's as I mentioned above.

I love Tease, I am not young, but it gives me a fresh glow to the skin!
You got a back up? I was thinking of one, one to use and another to keep pristine!

Winthrop, where are you? I need you to talk me out of it. hehe

 

[Winthrop44]

Don't do it!!!!!!!!

I only got one. My wallet talked me out of getting a BU.

I am very frustrated right now. I called my local Chanel make up studio in South Coast Plaza, and of course no one knew anything about this collection. First they tried to tell me that it didn't exist, then I was told that it "may" exist but that it was a non-US country exclusive, and so on...

Watch I will visit there this weekend, and the collection will be hidden in a drawer somewhere.

I LOVE Tease--the formula is super soft and it blends really well. When I first saw it, that beautiful pink shade drew me right in. I also have all three of the other EL illuminators, so I wasn't exactly a tough sell.

 

[Shypo]

Maybe I need to take another run at Tease - I haven't sent my backup back yet - not sure I'm going to need it though, since there's quite a bit in the pan to begin with.

I'll give it another whirl or two and see how I like it. Heck, I'm keeping it, why not?

I wonder if they're going to launch more colors with this formula? I know they re-did all of their blushes last year, but this formula seems to be so popular, I don't know why they don't do more of it....perhaps the production costs are too high.

Wow, Medgal, you have 3 of the Modern Mercuries? I was under a rock somewhere when that came out, but a dear Specktra member got one for me, so I didn't miss out completely.

Haven, I hope you find the collection - why do these SAs have to be so darn clueless?

More pictures of the powder and the spring powder! (Not my blog) http://indigo-kir-royale.blogspot.sg/2013/01/photo-book-touch-of-royalty-with-chanel.html?m=1 I wore the powder yesterday by very lightly sweeping my brush over it. I don't want to spoil the beautiful print. Worn lightly, the shimmer is very beautiful. Modern Mercury is more tan. Here are my pictures of the powder and with MM side by side;.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I can't decide if I need this. I have the spring highlighter but this one looks so pretty. I may just order Tease as well.

 

[Miss QQ]

They are very different, although priced the same lol. The spring highlighter is ivory, while this is rose gold. I also can't decide if I need the spring highlighter because it is too pretty to use!

I LOVE Modern Mercury...so much so that I can see more than 50% pan. Saddens me because I didn't back it up--I rarely back any thing up, and MM is one item that I wish I had. Nothing before or since...not even Chanel's Poudre Signe goes on as smooth and blends as well as MM.

 

[Prettypackages]

wow really? I typically ignore ALL estee Lauder products. (yes I know they own mac) I just never paid attn to them.

Well, damn. I think I need this now. It never, ever ends hboy:

 

[Anitacska]

I've just found out this existed and have no idea if we're getting it in the UK or not. Also if and when we do, it's most likely to be a Selfridges/Harrods exclusive. *sigh* Well, I'm going to London on the 10th February, if it's out by then and still available, I will definitely get it, it's so pretty. Shontay, you're right, it never ends....
