Pink Tonic has shimmer?!!! And I who had almost convinced myself that I only needed Eastern Light!

yup it does i was playing with them in the store as soon as i turned the bottle sideways i was like " ohhhh wait its not just a plain creme

" its the Chanel shimmer sooo you know how that work aka shows slightly in bottle but not on nail unless standing under blinding sun but i'm a sucker for it its like a pink/fuchsia shimmer

Does anyone know how similar Tutti Fruitti is to Starlet?

they are different

That is SO pretty! I'll get it. Thanks

Beautiful colours! I really like New Moon, Utopia, Sweet Lilac, Tutti Frutti and Mirabelle. New Moon is so glittery but pretty! Can anyone swatch New Moon next to Mirage?

Id'Os and Cheeky creme blush are up on Nordstrom. You have to look under each product to find the new shades.

You bought Cheeky blush right? How would you describe the color?

I picked up:
-Mirage Illusion d'ombre
-New Moon Illusion d'ombre
-Cheeky creme blush
-Mirabella nail polish
-Sweet Lilac nail polish
-lavender mascara

I skipped the gold liner. I tried it on my hand and it swatched smoothly and showed up great but I have noticed every time I buy colors like these from Chanel they don't show up much on my eye. I tried it on my lower lash line and didn't see hardly anything. I told the SA about how these colors never show on me and she said it didn't show up on her either. (She was much lighter than me maybe nc 15-20). Well, I get in the car and I can see it really well. It looked quite nice. I'm not going to buy it but I may start using the colors I have that are similar in the summer. I may as well use it up.

I liked the lavender illusion d'ombre but figured I didn't need it but now it is weighing on my mind. I think I may look nice with New Moon.

New Moon is a glitter bomb but I already knew that. It is pretty.

I still think I want to get Tutti Frutti but on the first page of this thread it is not listed as limited edition so I figured it could wait. For some reason I really want Eastern Light now but I didn't get it when it was first released because white polishes are easy to come by so now I don't know why I want it. Maybe because it keeps coming back, I'm thinking maybe the finish is special or something. Don't know. The pink polish, I like it but is it a must have?

So I'm not sure I'm done with this collection yet. I'm just glad there were no lip colors that tempted me.

For some reason, lol, I had been thinking that Mirabella was the permanent shade and Tutti Frutti was the LE one. Kinda of an unusual shade name for Chanel to add to the lineup. Thanks for the thoughts about the liner, I was thinking about getting this one. I still am, but we'll see.

I just pulled it out and tried it on. It is not as dark as I remembered when I tested it over a week ago. I must have dug into the tester a lot more than I realized. I just now swatched it with my fingers and applied it with my fingers on my hand and cheeks. It is definitely brown. But I'm wavering on whether it has pink or red undertones. Pink and Red are in the same family anyway so I'm not sure that matters. It is pretty natural looking on me but I know I'm a lot darker than you. I think you could wear it. I'm also thinking it may look like that nude/brown creme blush Mac had a couple of collections ago but I don't have it to compare. It is definitely not a Pow! In Your Face! blush for me. So not like the other Chanel Creme blushes I have - Chamade, Intonation and Presage. I'm not sure if someone much darker than me could wear it either.

I attached 2 pics. I don't know how helpful they are as I think the color is more red and slightly darker than it is showing up here.






Edit - Oh the bottom pic and the swatch on the left of the first pic is just one swipe of the product. The right side of the first pic, I swiped it a few times to build up the color more so you guys could see it.

It looks like a lovely pinky nude on you! Thanks. I think they are calling it a pinked bronze.

Thanks Elegant!

I just looked back at all the swatches and I do think Channelsvp swatch is more accurate. I'm starting to like the color more and more. I just don't know if it screams summer to me. But then again, it might be a nice blush to balance the bright shadows and lips I plan on wearing this summer.

Comparison for Pink Tonic if it wasn't for the micro shimmer which you can't see on the nail but the nail polish hoarder in me rationalized it that it was enough excuse for me to buy it .....well if you have one of the roses or boa you likely don't need it

I'm definitely getting the liner.

This is gorgeous too, i hope it's not so similar to rose exuberant as it appears in this pic

i can't tell them apart when i turn the bottles sideways but for some reason on my nail Pink Tonic looks a tad lighter than RE did when i used it

I'm definitely getting the liner.

Do you think it will show up on us? Honestly, I don't know what to get.

Today I picked up cheeky blush and the blending foundation brush she used to put it on me, and mirabella nail. She showed me the pics of the Les Beiges lip balms...they are in a tube.

I'm hoping it will, figure the only way to find out is to give it a try. I'm not sure what else if anything I'll get. I really want New Moon....but I also want it to not be the glitterbomb that it is.
