Thanks Katred for suggesting holt Renfrew. I went today and was put on the list for the event and early viewing. The bay is getting it august 19 but holts is getting it in around the 8 th. I made sure they are getting affinite too. Sad about the quad being poor quality according to Temptalia , it looks beautiful. What blushes do you ladies recommend for a fair lady to get? I'm thinking definitely gri-gri eyeshadow, maybe hasard... All the blushes haha. Suggestions?

Just got my shipping notice for Affinite from Nordstrom. As of last night, Neimans couldn't give me an answer about when they might have the product. Saks is still showing only the other 5 blushes and Affinite it remains OOS at Chanel.com

Ok guys i need your help. I want to get one cream blush but im torn between affinite, revelation, and inspiration. I wanted a color like inspiration but idk if it will be too light for my skintone (mac face & body c6 or around like nc44). I just want the color to look like an effortless flush on my cheeks if that makes any sense lol. This will be my first chanel product so i want to make sure ill be happy with it lol. Thanks in advance guys

Hi there Luvlydee. I'm also NC44 and 64 Beige Ambre in Chanel Perfection Lumière. I have all six of the blushes. Inspiration is light but it works, and I love it. I think if it's pink that you want, Affinite is a gorgeous blue-pink, the intensity of which you can control through the application process----much more so than Inspiration. Revelation is also a soft pink, but deeper than Inspiration. If I wanted to select only one and like you, torn between Affinite, Revelation & Inspiration I would pick Affinite. I apply the blush BEFORE my foundation and it really looks amazing when applied that way. HTHs.

Thank you so much. It does help. Ill order affinite from nordies so that i can have a chance to exchange it for revelation. These two are permanent right? I went to my nearest macys this morning to check these out and shes like we dont sell makeup here anymore just the fragrence. So im like great. I didnt feel like driving all the way to nordies. But for sure for sure i want either affinite or revelation. My first chanel makeup ever yaaay!

I think you'll really enjoy Affinite. It will look really amazing on your pretty little face!!! Fantastic and Presage are the only two of the six that are noted
as limited edition at this time.
This is a good item to start your Chanel collection. CONGRATS!

Thats what im scared of ::gulp:: lmao
Oh trust me, I started with my first Chanel product in 2012 and that opened the flood gates to a (as my husband calls it) unnecessary collection of Chanel, Tom Ford, Dior etc. But to me, it's completely necessary. Enjoy the slope, it's a fantastic ride.

oh the slight pain i went through for affinite. So i order from nordstroms site but to pick up at my local nordstrom yesterday. usually its available to pick up after 1 hour but i wakeup this morning and im like hold up i still didnt get a pick up notification. I was going to the mall to check out the new nars foundation anyways so I was like ill just ask when i get there. When i go to the chanel counter they only have 3 creme blushes for sale! just destiny, inspiration and presage. Im like um so how were they gong to give me my blush??? I had to cancel that order at their costumer service and reorder on the site so that it can ship to my house. smh. well hopefully i end up getting it.

Interesting that Nordstrom only has Affinite online. That's how I got mine. I was skeptical because Chanel online was showing it as out of stock, Neiman's had it backordered with a ship date of 7/15 that never materialized, so I was pretty nervous. You'll get your's too!!! Chanel online continues to show it as OOS and Neiman's still has it as backordered with no available date.

my local NM had 3 affinite's in case anyone is looking - have no clue why this one is so elusive, it's not LE either! it's quite pretty but I got my pink fix with fantastic and destiny for my brown fix!
