Must hear to Ion soon! Thanks Miss QQ. I hope they will still have Beige Lame and the highlighter, that is the only two things I want and perhaps Empire.

My counter had this collection when I went in today, I was soooo happy 
I picked up Famous and Triomphal and Elegant you were right, I fell in love right away I also loooved the powder, it gives such a beautiful glow to my skintone, it was hard but I resisted it. If they still have it next week, I may pick it up. I also hauled some RA Velvets, I shall go post about that now in the Chanel Lipstick thread.
Oh and this is a swatch of what I got on my arm, in case anyone around my skintone is interested (NW25 - my arm is NW20 though). Triomphal on top, Famous on the bottom:

Oh I am SOOooo excited that you got them & love the colors. Triomphal on top of Famous is WOW! You will look stunning in them.
Thank you Elegant
I hadn't bought makeup in a while and the wait was totally worth it.

So I took a look/swatched this collection again today since it's sunny and I could see the subtle differences in natural light better. Famous and Triomphal still looked like twins to Rouge Byzantin, but were slightly lighter/redder than RB. Enivree was pretty but for some reason pulled cool on me (BOO!) so that was a no, and Empire was much too light for my liking. Brun Rose was chalky and solidified me never touching a Chanel blush unless it's the Euro JC format. My vitriolic hatred of gloss has been changed for the glossimers, which I found light and not at all tacky. Passed on Sparkle d'Or for now (picked up Braise and Sunset Gold instead), but may pick it up later as I liked the effect over a red lippy.
On a happy note, my local Nordies is having a Chanel GWP for their Fashion's Night Out event with a $100 purchase...you get a white makeup bag with some goodies such as skincare and mini cosmetics and fragrance. Unfortunately my SA hadn't seen it yet but she knows it's MUCH better than the puny GWP with the black bag, mini mascara, and microscopic skincare samples they had a few months back. I'm hoping for a mini lipstick.
Anybody have this at their local Nordstrom's yet?
Alright. I'm officially on a makeup/np/perfume no-buy until January.

The SA at Macy's said they were having an event next month and would have a GWP but she didn't give any details.
BTW Has anyone compared the gold liquid eyeliner to Mac's Gold SuperSlick liquid eyeliner?
Plus I wore BeigeLamé eyeshadow with Prelude Quad. Yay! Love it!

Spark is actually the glossimer in the lip bag--Braise is the glossimer that came out with the fall collection. They're pretty close to each other in the tube, but on me Braise is a deep red/orange/brown. It's GORGEOUS over Rouge Allure Mystery...gives my lips the same plum/bronze/gold/brown look of Zoya's Shivon nail polish. Haven't tried Spark and probably won't since it looks so close to Braise, but apparently Braise leans more red-brown whereas Spark has more pink.

So far my favorite products from this collection are RC, triomphal, the highlighter, and the gold shadow. I have been using/wearing those 4 products almost every day since purchase. About a month ago I purchased Chanel's base & top coat just for the hell of it, and they really do make the Chanel polish last a long time. (Well longer than 2 days LOL!) My Chanel MUA kept trying to get me to buy them, but I always balked at the price. She was right. They work.
I love the higlighter from this collection, but I have to be very careful with it. I am MAC NW 20, and it can look somewhat ashy on me. Or at least a pale girl's version of ashy. I was rather surprised b/c I have too many Chanel highlighters to count & none of them have that problem. I need to use a light hand when applying this, but the end result is amazing.

So glad you are loving your goodies. I decided not to get the highlighter, but it looks so darn pretty in the pan, it haunts me . . . lol

^^ I'm kept reminded of the MA's comment that elegant met, that she hoped elegant was not looking for the highlighter because they are all sold out. lol. It's good that you are not jumping on the highlighter. It costs $100 here, so it will be an expensive regret if you do not like it or will not be using it much.
I forgot about the lip bag! I want the lip bag and the brush set on top of this holiday collection. I will exceed my budget again. Bad!

Spark is a classic Michelle. You should definitely check it out. My Nordstrom still didn't have the holiday collection as of this weekend. Can you believe that? I'm glad I didn't wait and just ordered online.

I wish I could swatch Spark. What is going on with your Nordies?? I guess you will still have pick of anything you decide to get!
Do you know when the lip bags are coming out?

No, I just tried doing a search to see if I could find if anyone mentioned ordering it last year so I could check the date but didn't come up with an answer.
