I'm wearing the two lightest colors in the quad today. You guys might wanna note... you can totally blend that shimmer down.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I did a simple look today with 2 colors. Darker Pink all over the lid and the top Lighter Brown shade on the outer v and crease along with Tweed Fuchsia Blush and Pleasing Glossimer. Looked pretty good though.

Ok ladies I'm back from Nordies and here's what I got and my thoughts:
The quad - It's a beauty. I haven't played with it yet though.
Pleasing Glossimer -

Thanks for the recommendations.
Pink Pulsion Glossimer - Not sure I love it. It's like laser with sparkles. Charming actually showed up better. Ima layer over some lippies to see if I can find love for it.
Pulsion Polish - Ima put that baby on my toes tonight. I can't wait been waiting for a color like this from Chanel since summer.
Charming - Didn't purchase but it was beautiful layered over Patchuli.
Patchuli - I liked it and thinking about picking it up Monday.
Fuchsia Blush - Swatched it, loved it but not sure I need it. So MA is holding it for me in case they sell out.
Magnolia -

I might like it layered with a gloss. I'll probably get it later if it's still avail.

Ok enough of my rambling

^^Thanks for your thoughts on the collection. I wish I had a Nordies close by. I don't know why our Macy's and Dillards don't have Chanel. I can't wait to get Magnolia -- and I'm pretty sure my hubs is getting me the quad. Woot!

It was my pleasure. You ladies always give such great reviews which really help narrow down my decisions. I feel ya, only one of our Dillards has a Chanel counter. The Belk 10 min away carries Chanel but they're always the last to get anything plus they're phasing that one out.You'll enjoy Magnolia and the quad. I did a quickie look with the quad just to try it out and I must say that I'm impressed. Not that the colors are that unique but it's the way they come together. It's glittery and I don't do glitter but I don't think it's over the top. It can be blended down as Ingenue stated.

My boxes are here! I haven't opened them yet. I'm trying on the patchouli lipstick as soon as I get home!

I wore Patchouli lipstick all day today and I'm pretty disappointed. Normally with my RCs I only apply 2-3 times in a day. Usually just in the morning then again after lunch. They usually last through my coffees and everything. Well Patchouli I had to reapply constantly today. It seemed it was always gone and I had no idea where it went

And of course after wearing all day I had tonnes of random gold glitter all over my face around my mouth. I wan't to love it but I think I may have to swap it? I did just get Cashmere RC in a swap and it is very close in colour but with the more typical RC formula so maybe I don't need both. I want to love it so much. I hope you guys have better luck with it.

I hate to hear that. I don't like lippies that apply like balm and need to be reapplied constantly. I like to put it on and kinda forget about it til touch up time. Hopefully you'll find love with Cashmere.

I can't seem to be able to purchase the Magnolia coco rouge on the Nordstrom website? Do they not have it online yet? Anyone know if they will be selling it online soon..? Thanks, I'm so excited about this!

Chanel.com has it on its website (I think they only ship in the US). A lot of other sites don't have it yet. Karin shared a free shipping code for Chanel: 0910GLOSS

Hey ladies who have Pink Pulsion Glossimer, what do you think of the texture? Do you find it kinda greasy/slippery? I don't know how to describe it but it's definately different then the others at least IMO

I didn't notice, but then I only had it on briefly. Didn't notice it over Magnolia. I'll try again tomorrow - thats interesting.

Oh no I hope that's not the case. I have it arriving Tuesday. I'm getting pretty irritated that I fall in love with a paticular Chanel formula and then they throw products in that don't live up to others in their line

Seriously, I want the quad. I've wanted quads before, but this one is killing me. I really want to get my hands on a Chanel quad. This is the link that got me going:

Woot! Just got my Pink Pulsion np. It is a brighter but pretty fuchsia pink. So funny how my items trickled in one at a time.

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with it! I wore it last night and it lasted just fine on me. And I didn't have any glitter issues with it all. I doesn't go glittery on me... just creamy. Take it back if it's not working for you. I don't believe in keeping makeup that I don't want.
