Plus Pulsion swatches from Sabrina:

EDIT: Pleasing glossimer?!

This collection is way too tempting. I keep finding new things to want.

EDIT #2: The blogger from the first set of swatches is a Specktrite! Thank you, bumblebees24!

Can anyone compare Magnolia with Rose Dentelle? I like Magnolia from the swatch, but I wouldn't like it if it's creamy like Chintz. I find Chintz a little too creamy, especially if I want to layer gloss on it.

And what are the two colours in Tweed Fuchsia? Usually the tweed blushes will separate into two distinct colours as it runs deeper into the pan.

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.

I haven't seen Shimmering Dunes in real before, not available here, I think. Liberte is worth getting! And I could be picking up Spices this weekend, or should I wait until this holiday collection is launched before getting Spices/the quad?

^ I'd like to know this too. That was my experience with Rose Dentelle, hope Magnolia isn't too creamy. Mrslid, does Magnolia leave some sparkle residue after fading?

I wore the quad yesterday. I first put the liquid eyeshadow Splashing all over the lid. This was my first time using a liquid shadow like this but it was pretty easy to use. I just used a dab though. I then put the pink all over. I ended up with a lilac plum tone. Not really what I was going for but it was pretty. I tried to put a bit of the top brown color on the outer half of the lid but I wasn't really getting the color I wanted. I probably should have skipped the Splashing for this first time use of the quad. I really wanted to showcase the brown but oh well. The lilac color I got was a nice surprise. I just wasn't sure it would not clash with Pleasing Glossimer which I was determined to wear but it turned out fine. I added Tweed Fuchsia. This is pretty wearable for my very warm skin. I can't always pull off pinks but this was pretty!

Now....Do I go back for Pulsion glossimer? It was a bright pink but sheer enough that I may be able to pull it off. I really liked the pink flecks in it.

MissQQ Magnolia is even creamier than Chintz and also sheerer. It is definately not the same RC formula we love. There isn't really any residue of sparkle/shimmer left over like there is with Patcouli.

KarlaSugar mentioned tweed is a solid fuschia underneath rather than a duo blush like other tweeds.

I am having major issues with Chanel's site again (gee, what a SURPRISE!

) - I can't put Charming into my cart. The number of items in my cart keeps increasing, but there's no picture of the glossimer on the left side at the bottom of the page. Then when I go look in my bag, the quad is gone. 'My bag' says I have 6 items, and then when I hit 'checkout' there are only 2.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I would wait for Nordie's to get this in (who knows WHEN that will be) but then I have no instant gratification

.

I think I might just wait - like ISa, I'm so annoyed with Chanel that I may just boycott the site. They are totally useless!!

Here's a lip swatch of Magnolia to show how sheer it is. This is a heavy application and I have fairly pigmented lips. Sorry to scare everyone so early in the morning LOL

Sorry I didn't have time before work to do Patchouli too

I'm sorry. That sounds so frustrating!! All you want to do is give them money and they can't figure out how to let you guys do it!

They really need to improve their site... It needs to WORK!, ship for free AND ship to Canada!!

I really think it is lovely on you!

I think I am adding this to my list -- I am a succer for all things pink!

I wonder if the online sights will be getting Liberte. For some reason, I thought it was an Asia exclusive? I LOVED the swatch of it on your hand! Looked like a gorgeous shade of peachy pink!

EDIT: I just saw it on Chanel.com -- don't know why I didn't see it before. Now wanting Confidence, Imaginaire, and Liberte extrait de gloss! And Insouciance looked gorg, too (but kinda similar to MAC Love Nectar which I have)

Thanks! It really is a lovely colour! At first I immediately wanted to swap it away because it wasn't the traditional Rouge Coco formula which is all I seem to want anymore, but I think I like the colour enough to hang on to it and see what I think.

 

[Caipirinha]

I love the quad! Can you tell me if there are clones shadows? The two dark are beautiful! And Mongolia is too pretty also!

Thanks!

Thanks, it pays to read the words more. I only looked at the swatches because I'm so tired. I'm a little disappointed that Tweed Fuchsia is not a duo, but I still want it.

Magnolia looks gorgeous on you. Colourwise, is Rose Dentelle darker than Magnolia? Are there any soft pinks RC? I want a soft pink Chanel l/s and if there aren't any from RC, I will go to the RA.

Is OPI's That's Hot! Pink! a dupe for Pulsion?

hmmm...that means I should skip it. None pink nudes are not very flattering on me.

This is already sold out at my counter but they are getting more shipment. I might go back for it.. Charming is a light pink with lots of shimmer and was surprising sheer. I thought I was going to love this color, but it was too sheer. Same goes for Futile, which was clear with lots of glitter. Pink Pulsion is a bright fuschia/hot pink with glittter. It's a pretty color but I wasn't impressed with the glitter. Quad - definitely shimmery but nicely pigmented, especially the darkest brown. Tweed - so so bright in the pan and when swatch, but once applied on the cheeks, it gives such a pretty flush. It's that look you get after a light workout Magnolia - I really like this pink lipstick that brightens up the face. Patchouli is a brownish color with shimmer. I prefer Magnolia over this but it is a pretty color. Splash is a taupe with slight shimmer that's so very pretty. I'm tempted to pick this up but the price is a bit high. I will have swatches up later tonight. Swatches are up. I think the stand out of the collection are actually the tweed and Pleasure.

Thanks you for your review and swatches

My list is confirmed now: Pleasing and Pink Pulsion glossimers plus the Fuchsia tweed blush. I will call my Chanel counter and put them on hold

WORD!

Yay! So glad you love it...now for all your other one by one orders to start petering in.

 

[elegant-one]

I LOVE LOVE Magnolia on! I don't think its too sheer as it give perfect medium coverage to my very pigmented lips. Its actually a perfect pink
