It's not available for you? :(

I wanted the Noir Petrole ombre premiere but it's back ordered of course lol
Maybe I'll think about Poudre D'or or Talpa

I purchased Talpa and Pourpre Profond. They are both very nice. JerseyGirl did a great job of describing the texture & pigmentation of her cream shadow and my experience with Pourpre Profond is the same. I also found Talpa to be nicely pigmented and creamy, much nicer than their old powder singles. Flesh was a little disappointing to me color-wise. I am finding the colors to be lighter irl than on chanel.com on my monitor, but that could just be my monitor.

Nice! Two great picks!

Talpa looked so good on Karen but I kept thinking I had a dupe. Taupe and Gold shades draw me in lol
Found Noir Petrole to look really good on her too, unexpectedly. I might not have paid attention to that shade otherwise.
Silver Pink is interesting as well.

Great to read! What does Profond look like on you? My Nordies did not have these yet. I was hoping to swatch them.

It's a complex color. Inside it looks like a reddish brown. In the sun you can clearly see pink shimmer. When you try to get it off your arm it will not BUDGE (even rubbing hard with a dry or wet paper towel!) until you use makeup remover, but when it does on the paper towel it looks plummy.

I caught quick glimps of the new monos today. I didn't have any time, but I had to try Desert Rouge. It seems nice to work with, but the color is far more rust than red. I'll go back and try the others when I have more time.

I couldn't resist Terre Brûlée. I didn't try much else as I didn't want any more temptations. I did see a dark green eye pencil I liked.

That eyeshadow palette with the blues is gorgeous. Looks like it will be the same formula as Candeur et Experience too, which I loved. I think this one will go on my wish list for sure. Can't wait to see swatches.

Yes!
The blue quad really is a standout for me.

Of course, now that I've come back down to Earth, I remember saying just last week that I have a lot of blue shades lol
