Chanel Rouge Noir Absolument - Holiday 2015

[MissTania]

That's awesome! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the highlight blush!

Elegant, it is so gorgeous! I don't know if I want a BU yet as I have plenty of highlighters and want to keep buying them, especially Dior Spring 2016's.

Here are some pics under bright indoor lighting, CDM left, Alezane right for compact and blush surface size comparison. As we know, it is 2.8g but the compact is deceptive it looks like a regular JC.

I will do some more swatches in natural light, as it is evening here now I was unable to.








In some pics I captured more pink, in others yellow, it might have both somehow! I applied it very quickly this morning and it was subtle but very pretty - I even dusted some on my forehead and it was not a disco ball, just really pretty and livened up my skin. It isn't a thick texture like Becca highlighters for example.

It is a complex kind of shade, and I think the natural light swatches I will do soon will help.

I know, I want to see the quad already!

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it

Meddy theLa Mysterieuse lipstick is so gorgeous on you!! The compact itself is actually about the same size as a JC. I hope you get it ASAP!

Thanks for the compliment Miss Tania, and thanks for the swatches----it's just beautiful and it looks really great on your skin. I preordered it last week but this could be backup worthy, no?

Well if you are making me choose.....Trouboulante!! I feel the Duochrome is stronger in this one plus the shimmery nature of RF can result in some obvious brush strokes applied (if that kind of thing bothers you) !!

Agree For the same reason

Ok, ladies...serious question: you can only pick troublante or rose fusion, not both...which one?? Bonus points for reason.

It easy for me: Rose Fusion. Troublante is a sheen rather than a shimmer, and in any case I have it on my nails right now (applied at counter) and it doesn't flatter my skin tone.

I'm afraid I'm still going to skip this in protest at the size. I'm getting the Holiday Meteorites anyway.

Same size packaging, so is this less dense b/c it's more of a highlighter vs a blush?

 

[boschicka]

[COLOR=EE82EE]Yes----because we have no patience whatsoever!!!

[/COLOR] I know, I want to see the quad already!

Same! It's driving me to madness! Where is it?!? I want it NOWWWW! (sorry for yelling

)

Yes, what is the Chanel trickery with this???

troublante for sure I think rose fusion is just a tad lighter/pinkish than terrana which I already own

 

[LiliV]

My Troublante is here! ️ If I'm not too lazy tonight I'll put this on, it's gorgeous! Reminds me so much of a maroon Peridot which is one of my all time fav polishes

Finally found the holiday collection at the Saks on Michigan avenue in Chicago. The only thing they didn't have yet was the quad. I skipped the IDO, pulled too brown for my taste & tons of shimmer. But it was really pretty! Also skipped the darker gloss, it was really sheer but did look pretty layered over rouge noir lipstick. Here's a really bad pic I took quickly.

My IDO & JC blush/highlight shipped & will be here Saturday.
