I agree it's a good primer
I have not purchased some items because of her poor reviews and awful looks. I am glad I checked out these items in person and was shocked how awesome they look and perform
I repeat myself too much but she needs to give up on doing eye looks and just do swatches. she obviously has no time or motivation to make them look good

Euh yes I agree, even she does a great job ( I would not deny it at all ), she has been swatching for years now it's much fun but also a burden when it comes to swatching 2000 products a year !
My Corol blush is perfect, my Sunset Beach too, my Guerlain blush Madame Rougit is close to perfection...

I'll test them in person too. The thing is, temptalia's review may be holding Chanel to its marketing promises on these shadows. The promo image is a very bold eye look, not an ephemeral sweep a la the Ombres Perlees (which I think looked best sheer). Looking at those Chanel pans and the promo shot, I was all set for a Magic Night-type gorgeousness. If you've got to work to build the shadows up, then maybe your promo pic should illustrate that as an embodiment of the theme of the collection But it sure doesn't.Just a little reminder to keep us on topic... Dior discussion should really go on the Dior thread (although comparisons between Dior and Chanel products are more than welcome). I know that there are plenty of people who want to hear reactions and reviews of Dior products there. Just trying to keep things (moderately) organised! Thanks for your cooperation.
And here are Temptalia's reviews of the glosses:

And the eye shadows:

It's interesting, because I get the sense that she's genuinely conflicted. I know that she loves bright, bold colours, so I get the feeling she really wanted to like this collection, but, as suspected, the colour payoff just doesn't seem to be there on the shadows (or the blush).
At this point, none of the shadows are really tempting me, because I feel like I have shades that are close enough and have better quality. VERY disappointed to read that they don't actually work that well damp. Since they're advertised as working either way, it's embarrassing if they harden when exposed to a moist brush.
At the same time, I have to say that some mid-end companies are coming out with some really pigmented buttery shadows this summer. The two neutral MAC quads (Pedro and Sharon) are really nice. Never thought I'd see the day where the lower price leader wins over Chanel but….. hmmm maybe that's where we are?

That makes sense. I think there was something in the comments about usage when wet as well?

BeautifulMine arrived today but I was already wearing makeup, however I played w/it tonight and I'm a happy camper. I used a MAC 131 brush because I had used my Chanel blush brush earlier. Suffice it to say, I had no problems whatsoever. In fact, I'm pretty certain that if I had taken that photo in natural daylight I'd look like a clown. It's very pretty, it was easy to pick up product & I had no issues blending it. But bu all means, judge for yourself.
ETA: Correct brush was the 130 Duo Fiber
It's very pretty Dominique, and fits well into my collection.
When I was new to this whole seen it took but a minute for me to realize how a pro is capable of using a product
versus T, or me for that matter. It was at that time that I put less weight on blogger reviews and relied upon my
own needs, wants and judgment, as well as some of you ladies of Specktra whom I've come to know & trust.
Side eye to you Lady Shontay who made me buy two foundations in two weeks or something redic!
Oh yes...that's one you made me buy...no regrets. I'm wearing Chanel PLV here:
I wish I had snapped this in natural light. I'd probably look like a rodeo clown. The blush was not dry, hard to pick up on my brush or difficult to blend. BTW, this is Tom Ford's Vampire Kiss lipstick.
