Got to see everything today. I only bought New Moon which is GORGEOUS!!! Its a very sparkley deep Brown with Mauve undertones. I don't mind the sparkles because its so beautiful! You could dab it just above the pupil & it would be stunning. I didn't have fallout. Didn't like the creme blush Cheeky. The liner is really really pretty. I may get it. It showed up fairly well. It will be beautiful just below or above your regular liner! I will get a couple nail polish I think - Pink Tonic, Tutti Frutti & maybe the lilac. No gloss - too sheer

There was a lady next to me that swatched it on her hand. Its really pretty, but it seemed so sheer.

The colors are all so pretty & alluring in that sense but the sheerness is off-putting for me. At that price I need to

I am only letting myself get one and will only wear for pedicure..pink tonic, mirabella, or tutti frutti??? Which would you choose?

Tough one, but when I read your question the fist one to come to mind was Tutti Frutti. It's very toe-friendly.

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.

I was thinking pink-gold, especially in the first pic, heavily swatched.

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.

I hope to use it in a pinked-bronze summer look---even w/a bronzed smokey eye look & nude lip w/Tom Ford's Pink Quilt l/g.

I included way too much of this collection in my Post-op haul....I survived surgery, so it was a celebratory purchase--at least that's what I told hubs. I got all of the nail
lacquers except Eastern Light, IDOs in Mirage & New Moon & Cheeky blush. I'm w/you, the glosses looked pretty but way too sheer for my liking.

I see that the nailpolishes are available on Nordstrom online now. Also see they have Peridot available for purchase again. Haven't seen that one in a while, or have I just been oblivious?! Hahaha anyway, I am ordering ALLLLL of the summer colors!

How is Eastern Light? It is sheer, opaque?

Thanks so much! Hubs is taking several weeks off to help and he really is wonderful, but
he's amazed that I get nearly a package a day.

How is the purple mascara?? I'm so tempted but afraid I won't use it that much and that it will dry out. I'm going back for ambre d'ore eyeliner. I already bought all 3 IDOs last weekend plus the Canaille blush.

Update on my previous post about Mirage ido. I really love how the light catches it. I put one coat on my lid and went outdoors...its a beauyiful bronze sheen on the lids. I cant wait to use it with new moon ido and get utopia which I think will look great for a night look with diapason ido.
