Atmosphere is quite streaky and sheer but different enough from dior perle to have both. How is the quality of the eyeshadows?CHANEL Fall pics from my blog - jaydeddreaming.com

The eyeshadows are soft, smooth and finely milled but a little powdery. Using them dry they are a muted down version that can be blended down to being almost sheer. Used with a dampened brush and the eyeshadows are more vibrant and apply smoother instead of so powdery. I used a barely dampened small synthetic Sephora foundation brush to pat the eyeshadows onto the lid. You don't want to use a lot of water. You can even pat a small dab of a cream eyeshadow and mix it with any of the eyeshadows. Hesitation (pink plum) eyeshadow is gorgeous and is the best of all six. Exaltation (the bright pink) and Pulsion (the dark smokey plum) were really powdery but performed better with a touch of water or some other similar product.

Well, I'm absolutely incensed. My Chanel order was cancelled only today with no reason given. I called Consumer Relations and was informed that an email was supposed to have been sent to me to confirm my order, however I never got any such thing or even a simple phone call and apparently nothing can be done, I just have to wait to see when my account will reflect the released funds and resubmit my order. Totally disgusted right now.

What did you order? Curious to see what might have sold out if that's why they cancelled.

Hi As I stated they said it was supposedly because it wasn't confirmed not because of lack of stock. Everything's still up on Chanel.com.

So SORRY! That's just crazy talk! I've never heard of something like that...I'd be mad as well.

Hey, it's not your fault
It's just frustrating. It's a lot of money for me and I don’t like waiting for it to register in my account. If they had a particular process I could understand but I ordered from them before without this confirmation they are talking about and the customer service response was so lacklustre.

I'm so put off I don't know if there will be a next time with them :-( I felt like there was no sort of effort to attempt to help.

Do they ship internationally ?

I have a US address so I've never had a problem with Chanel.com, Saks, Sephora, Nordies, Burberry etc The exchange rate is about $6.5 to $1 USD so it's no small commitment for me. I specifically chose to order from them and not a department store where I could have at least gotten a little rebate so I could have everything together in one package with no fuss. When I ordered Affinite I didn't have to confirm anything. The order itself was fine (the clasp on it had damage and they offered to replace it even though I told them not to bother). It's as though their response is the equivalent of a shrug.Do they ship internationally ?

Sorry, guys. [@]Dominique33[/@] dear I'm just so frustrated. It's a four-day weekend here so I don't even know when the money will show back up in my account. Imagine being bummed out on a long weekend away from a stressful job, how sad :-}

I'm getting the blush & Viva for sure this weekend when I go to Nordies.I called my store to have them hold them for me, & he was like what, which product is that
So after he figured out what I was talking about, he described the blush as more of a rose tone Rose Ecrin. We'll see

Agghh...many of us here have experienced that frustration ordering from their site. They have issues.
Also, the banks are using this new verification with the cc, so perhaps it could be that.

It's certainly frustrating. There was no call or email asking for anything so I was just baffled.

Wow, that's really odd. Did you order form Chanel or Nordstrom? Nordstrom has been having a lot of systems issues lately.
