I ordered them unseen and I agree. I haven't voiced my opinion because I feel I've been so negative about Chanel lately. Colours aside, there doesn't seem to be a lot of payoff when swatching. I had the same experience with the limited edition Les Beiges, I was really disappointed after I got them.

I just feel so bad for missing out on some highlighters in 2017 I'm like "must get product now before it sells out", but I don't think it's worth it at the moment. I'm waiting 'till there are some youtube videos on it so I can see what other people's experiences are with it. Because maybe I just expect too much since it's been announced so long ago and I might have gotten my expectations up too high in the wait for it.

Thanks for posting that. How disappointing! I was going to pick up the lighter duo today, but I guess not now.

I just looked at a few. It does look like the lighter shade is too light for a bronzer. Did you see the video on Chanel where she is using this product? I wonder if she is using the darker duo. Why would they do such a stupid thing like not making it a real bronzer!?

The Clair one - the "bronzer" side is a very light peach which barely shows up on my skin, I think it would make a nice blush but as for me, not much color payoff when I swatched.


On Chanel I have no idea what they used - it looked like the bronzer from the dark one and the highlight from the light one, but I think it's the darker one.

Here is a review from the darker one with the bronzer and the golden highlight. When she put it on to contour she was so positive about it and kept mentioning you've to use a very light hand, and all I kept thinking was I'm barely seeing any difference to your face and for using a light hand you sure are swirling your brush in there a lot. I'm hoping some other luxury make-up vloggers put up a video, photos can be deceiving.

Well, she sure used a lot of it even though it was so dark!!! I like the darker side of the darker shade, but I cannot do yellow golds. I prefer white, pink, peach highlighters on my skin. What the heck were they thinking!?:p

I like the lighter highlighter but will pass on it. The darker one maybe if I see it in person but probably not. I was going to pass on the eye glosses but some of the reviews have been positive. So I've become interested. The nail polishes look really nice and I haven't wanted a nail polish in ages. Now the quad I really like but again can I wear those light colors???. I was pleasantly surprised that the Les Beiges palette worked for me and maybe this will too. I know they are similar but it doesn't seem to be a deterrent at the moment. I definitely want the metallic liner. Now the final question I'm contemplating is should I order now or finish my Blurry Collection Haul?

What do you like there? I was surprised that she likes the lighter duo for her eyes. Interesting. Contraste looks pretty on her.[/QUOTE

I thought that was interesting too. I like Contraste on her as well I saw it on someone else on a short Instagram video yesterday and liked it there too, but I guess it just doesn’t seem very spring/summery to me so I’m finding it easy to resist. I like the collection overall but think I’ll be skipping. Are you getting anything?
