Okay, I'm going out tonight and wanted to use both the highlighter and the blush. As pretty as they are, I don't feel as if they show up well on me. It doesn't really look like anything is there. I even built them up. I like them a lot so I'll keep them, but I am disappointed a bit.

I'm still getting ready so don't mind me.


You look Gorgeous!!
Oh no!! :( That makes me wonder if the blush will show up on me too!

HIghlighter can be really tricky to see the full effect. That is why I feel like they are blind buys sometimes, even when you swatch or try them in the store. You really need to look at them on your face in different kinds of lighting. Sometimes I'm at home and put on a new highlighter in my normal makeup applying place and it looks like nothing and then I'll go in the hall mirror or bathroom mirror and BAM! it is beautiful and I can't stop gazing at it. Give it a little more time and see if you can try different lighting. Also different brushes will account for differences. That being said, I haven't worn mine yet.

BTW You look gorgeous here. It looks like there is a glow on your cheeks. I love the liner too. I'm working on applying a thicker line and haven't mastered it yet.

You are so beautiful! I can see the highlighter a little bit. Maybe try a different brush for the blush. I had to do that.

I did quick swatches this morning and posted a video on my ig.

I love it and was nervous swatching would ruin the texture of the highlighter, kinda like how my Dentelle Precieuse did, but it held up great. Can't wait to start wearing them. I think I will tonight actually!

Very nice Alexis!!!!

Thanks Medgal, but it always worth it, right?

Oh Ernie I so agree but you would think they would behave better---the idea is that you would go back to buy more. It's such a turn off when they're rude/pushy. You
need to befriend an SA who can get to know your likes & dislikes. They will set things aside for you and keep you apprised when the LTD edition items come in. That's
how some of us old gals ***cough ElegantOne*** roll.

Well, I tried the highlighter on my hand and it looked too silvery at first but then I blended it out and it took on a golden tone so I figured I could wear it. I tried the eyeshadow palette too. Nice colors but did I need it? No but I have all the other quints and I knew I'd end up running around looking for it if I passed it up. Envol was a bit glittery but I love the peachy goodness. I tried Caress but it seemed a bit light on my hand. I swatched Jersey on my hand and it just disppeared on my skin. I think it may be too close to my skin tone. I will try them another time on my face. I know colors light this sometimes work better on the face than swatched. Volage looked prietty too but I didn't feel like trying it on the lips to be sure. Maybe next time. So I got:

-highlighter
-eyeshadow quint
-Envol I d'O

The quints often hang around longer than other Chanel holiday items but I'm glad you got it ICL----can't have you running around all sad w/ skippers remorse!
I got the quint because of the gold e/s---I just have a weakness for gold e/s.

Ok, this was a bit of a rush makeup job, but I wanted to show ya'll anyway. I used rubenesque under the shadows cause I don't have envol (yet). I used the gold from the quint in my inner corner, the lightest gray all over the lid and above the crease, the mid grey in the crease, and the dark in the outer v and as a liner on top and half of bottom. I used the white shade as a brow highlight and blended it with the light grey. I used the liner on the inner third of my bottom lashline, and smoky grey on my waterline. I used my hakuhodo 210 for the blush, and it showed up beautifully. I used a fan brush with the highlighter, and it isn't to much for me. I'm also wearing volage lipstick. I'm happy with how it turned out .
