Chanel Jeux de Regards

I bought Convoitise when it came out the first time but haven't worn it yet. It is really pretty though.

Sabrina reviewed Seduction with great comparisons:

seduction is everything i wanted eclosion to be

I like the GA and the D&G better than either of the Chanels.

Me too. I'm glad I passed Eclosion, but at this point I'm not getting any more of the baked quads. I have several of them and have decided that I shall try other eyeshadows instead, be it from Chanel or other brands.

I also like the D&G from Sabrina's pictures.

Ufortunatelly I have eclosion

I have Eclosion but I'm still getting Seduction. I think Eclosion can be a bit too sparkly at times and I tend to wear it only in the spring/summer. Maybe Seduction will work better for fall. Or maybe I'm just rationalizing. We'll see.

Do we k now if Convoitise is limited edition?

I just ordered Convoitise.

She's right - Convoitise would be beautiful by itself with black liner.

I was just in Bloomies and they had Seduction quad set up right next to Eclosion. Talk about trying to discourage purchases! They are similar. I like some of the Seduction shades better but I will give it some more thought.

 

[Monsy]

What a stupid move.

I got my Convoitise es the other day. I had to send it back because it was so dried out & the size was completely shrunk down

OMG mine is exactly the same!! i was so surprised when it arrived like that
did you order from nordstrom?

Yep, Nordstroms. I've seen them shrink a little bit, but not as bad as this one was. It was so small inside the pot. I sent it back right away. The shade was pretty

I guess if yours is creamy & not too small it wouldn't hurt to keep it. You don't know if you do an exchange by mail that the next one won't be the same way. I've bought all my others from chanel.com

I was thinking of ordering the same shade from chanel.com and then see how that one looks like. It's a shame because shade is beautiful. It's my first and only illusion d ombre.

Y'all probably got old stock of Convoitise... It's been in what, 1-2 collections prior to this?

It should be fresher I guess. Maybe its the climate where Nordies are stored. My other ones that are older are just fine - no shrinkage

Ah ha, that just could be. I didn't think about that

I was thinking the same thing.

Just picked up Seduction Quad & Convoitise Illusion d'Ombre from my local Chanel counter. The IdO is fine, not shrunken at all.. Feels very creamy actually.

Elegant & Monsy, I would try ordering one from Chanel.com. You can always send it back for free if you get another dried up one. I got mine from the original Saks release.

Yes, I may just reorder from Chanel.com. I didn't even think about them being old stock.
