I've been stalking Karla all day but you beat me to it!!

OMG Pleasing looks AMAZING!!!! It is brown with pink sparkles. Crap I'm going to have to order it. And Pink Pulsion. I think I will order a Charming with the intent of it being a Christmas gift for my friend...but if I love it I may need another LOL. And Fuschia Tweed. I still don't know. I think I can probably get by with just Pink Explosion right?? right?? Splash does look so so pretty but I couldn't believe the price. I don't think I want to pay that for one liquid shadow that I don't really know what I'd do with it? hmmmmm

Man this collection is killing me!!

I think I'm going to try to stick mostly to Chanel to calm my spending. I'd rather do that than buy a tonne of MAC or other stuff. I like to get good use out of everything I own otherwise I don't keep it. I don't want an enourmous collection just a really well loved varied one.

Thanks Megan. Pretty sure all I want is Pink pulsion glossimer and Magnolia l/s.

 

[Camnagem]

^ I'm getting closer to that too. I'll get those 2 plus Pulsion NP and have some cash left for a possible Dior quint or the NARS duo and blush. Or maybe more of the delicious Extrait glosses.

Charming is SO sheer, I don't need another gloss like that (even if it's a gorgeous glossimer, I can pass). Three of the colors in the quad don't interest me, but that darkest chocolate fudge color is really beautiful! I wish they released that shade as a single...I'd grab it in a heartbeat.

I love the color of Magnolia ls in her swatch! Still like the quad. The color of the tweed blush is really pretty (a fave color of mine on) but I never liked the feel of any of the tweed blushes that I've swatched

I'm in for the quad, Pink Pulsion and Pleasing glossimers (MAYBE Charming too, but I agree with Megan), and possibly the 2 RCs.....and I'm kinda liking that fluid eyeshadow....hmmmmm......

I love the looks of Magnolia in that swatch, too -- hmmm, how to decide between the 5 or 6 lippies I've been looking at?? I really like the bronzey and chocolate brown colors in the quad -- but I am over that light pink color they seem to add so often. I was kinda hoping I wouldn't like it as much as I do -- now to decided if I need it or not (I'm leaning towards Yes)

There's new swatches in the Chanel swatch thread!

 

[elegant-one]

missanne - anything exciting you from the new Holiday pics?

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

Oh Karla, how we love thee. The darkest colors in the quad look absolutely delicious.

I also really like the way Magnolia looks in the swatch, it's very close to the kind of pink I was hoping Chanel would add to the RC line.

Now that I see the swatch, I'm pretty sure I don't want Charming (too sheer), but Patchouli looks even better than I thought it would be!!! I love how it's a little bit coppery and a little bit rosy, but not too dark in color. But mrslid said she ended up with leftover sparkles straying so... maybe not?

Hmmm...

 

[elegant-one]

My Magnolia ls is out for delivery. Usually Fed Ex is here first thing in the AM, but of course its later today. I will take pics & have them here later.

 

[purrtykitty]

My NM order is supposed to be here today, too. Waiting, waiting on FedEx

Ya I definately don't get copper/rosy out of Patchouli. In the tube and on my lips it's more beige/brown with gold shimmer and sparkle that almost give a yellow effect to it. The shimmer and sheen are both 100% yellow gold. No rose or copper and I don't see those tones coming through strongly in the base colour either. The sparkle residue is not bad at at all but it's there.

I love Karla's swatches! I want Pleasing for sure and I like the fuchsia tweed blush. I'm still torn on the quad and the liquid e/s.

The RC's are a pass for me, I don't really like how they swatch. They're too sheer for my liking and prob won't shpw up on my super pink lips, lol!

Yes. It's neither completely brown nor pink. It's kind of a shimmery dark nude. It's really pretty.

I got the new one with this collection... Intimitable Intense. Tube is very small, mascara smells like your average drug store variety (even stronger, if that's possible) and goes on sparse and then clumpy. There's no in between. I consider myself a bit of an expert and I was pretty disappointed.

The YSL and Armani tubes are bigger, YSL smells DIVINE (Armani has no fragrance), and both perform like champions.

A luxury brand should perform like a luxury brand. I'm taking it back tonight.

Eyes to Kill will come in a 'blacker' variety?

Yippeeee!!!! I just got the Radical Black YSL Faux Cils and it's HEAVEN.

Get it! I may mess around and trade this mascara in and put the rest toward another quad.

I agree! This is a perfect nude on me. No pink undertones whatsoever. This is more of a yellow based light browny nude with sparkles. Very flattering on me. I can't wait to get it!

well poo - Fedex delayed my shipping until tomorrow for some unknown reason

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

^Aww.

That's irritating! If the truck is still doing delivery rounds, you might be able to make the driver come back around and visit you again if you call? I did that once with UPS.

My NM order isn't even scheduled to arrive till Friday.

Delivery to Northern California takes forever!!! My Edward Bess order came in the mail today though, and I have a MAC order that's supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I guess I'll just play with the new goodies till Chanel comes and takes all my attention away from the other things.
