Chanel Holiday 2010

[Camnagem]

All of the new pics are great! My list is staying the same: Magnolia, the quad, Pulsion NP, Charming & Pink Pulsion glossimers.

I can't wait...I always love Fall/Holiday collections!

I'm so glad you got Seashell (it's one of my favorite glossimers!). Beige Guitare has been on my "to buy" list for a while now, do you love it?

Bazar de fille … So gorgeous. I keep telling myself I have zero interest in the blush...have never even considered getting it....but it's starting to look soooo good. If it has sparkle though all the way through it then I can resist!

There is always more ...

Has anyone compared Pink Explosion JC to Tweed Fuchsia?

Sabrina's reviews are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Beauty Look Book

Sabrina isn't too happy with the sparkle but the swatches to me look INCREDIBLE!!! Maybe the glitter will tap off the brush...I hope ;-)

I'm ok with the sparkles, because most of my chanel quads are of the euro round pan formula. Just not feeling the colours, and the same for Splash as well. I have Nomade, and it has lots of multi coloured sparkles, and the pink is sheer on me. I would love to get Shimmering Dunes instead, and Spices too, which has been in my list for a long time.

My order came!!! Magnolia is definately a soft pink. Almost bubblegum. Not sure what I think of it. Haven't tried it on. The quad looks gorgeous!! Patchouli is pretty. I'm at work so I'll try to try them out soon!

edit: Just tried Magnolia. Don't think I like it. It is very creamy and sheer. Does NOT feel like a Rouge Coco at all. More like a RA. Boo!

Going by pics, I think there's quite a difference between the two. Tweed Fushcia appears to have a lot more blue in it and a bit darker in tone, and once the overspray comes off, it'll probably be more matte as well. I tell ya, this one is going to be hard to pass up! The only thing is, in my experience anyway, the one tweed blush I have does not have the greatest staying power.

I feel the same way, between Patchouli, Charming and Pleasing!

 

[elegant-one]

ok, I am TOTALLY loving the quad after see those new pics!

 

[mrslid]

Here are some swatches. Done with my iPhone so not the best. I swatched the two light shades in the quad heavily and they do not show up at all on my fair skin. I'm sure they will be better on darker skin tones.

 

[Almus]

Thank you for the swatches mrslid. It's a shame that the lighter shades don't sho up at all. Have you tried in the lids yet?

It's still a pretty good picture. You can somewhat see the lighter shades. What is the darker pink one again? The one second from the right? All the swatches I've seen so far don't make me want the quad any less. That deep dark color I keep reading so many good things about makes me want it even more!! Definitely my kind of colors!

BTW^^I think I should get my Murano quad today. It was shipped late last week. I'll try to post some swatches of it in the other thread. Can't wait to try it out!

No not yet. Hopefully that will be better because I swear stareing at my arm heavily swatched I could barely see them :-( the coppery colour didn't seem to have very good pigmentation even with the sponge applicator but the darkest colour was LOVELY.

I've now tried Patchouli and it is a nude beige with gold sheen and some gold sparkle. Almost gives it a bit of a yellow sheen. It's a pretty tame shade. It's not exciting me. Magnolia looks nice but I'm not sure what I'll think of the formula.

Yes the pink is the 2nd one from the right. I hope you love Murano....and me too!! I'm getting pretty bummed about my recent Chanel disappointments :-(

I just saw it at Chanel's counter and I thought of you. It is very prettyand hopefully the pigmentation will be good. I wish you enjoy it a lot

I bought Spices recently as it was on my list for a long time too. I like it alot for warmer tones. I also received a well worn Shimmering Dunes in a swap over the weekend. I have to play with it some more as I know it got really high reviews on MUA, but my first impression is that Spices is just as nice. Shimmering Dunes is not available anywhere new at this point anyway, is it?

I'm not sure I'm going to get the holiday quad either based on Sabrina's review & pics...and the fact that the light shades don't seem to show up on lighter skin tones.

Maybe I'll like it more in person.

Edit: I just got off the phone with my Saks Chanel counter and they do have Liberte extrait de gloss so that will be enough to get me up there.

 

[Ingenue]

Okay, I slept on it. And YES to the Patchouli Lipstick... and the Splash eyeshadow! And whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did I just see the free shipping code? Bullocks! So I paid for shipping on the last order. Ah well.

Ahhh, Sabrina's swatches make the quad look fabulous!! That's terrible to hear about Magnolia, mrslid. Here I was totally hoping to get away from the creamier RA formula.

How's the color though? Does it have the shimmery finish that a lot of the RC's have?

It's not shimmery. It just has a very subtle amount of shimmer too it so it's not flat. I really really like the shade. I just wish it wasn't so creamy. It's the same way I felt about Chintz. Patchoulie is more shimmery and still on the creamier side for a Rouge Coco but not as creamy as Magnolia. So funny how some people love creamy lipsticks and I hate them. I don't like the slip feel of them and the fact they don't last as long. I like how the RC's are "drier" feeling without being drying and you don't feel them on. Both colours look way more intense in my pics then they look in the tube or on my lips. The pics were taken in direct sunlight and indirect daylight.
I didn't find the shimmer to be over the top in the quad by the way. I'll try and post some pics tomorrow after an actual eye application. Hopefully I'll fall in love with it then!

Edit: I just realized I have gold glitter on my face around my mouth after Patchouli wore off. Boo. Now I've got Magnolia on again LOL
Looking at Sabrina's pics again is do depressing. The light shades look so lovely on her darker skin tone
