Chanel Les Expressions de Chanel 2012

I think the Variation Quad has been reformulated, I bought the 2nd ( you have the 1st ! ), but in the US packaging and shades are different ( square for the US, small globes like the JC blushes ). Variation is really pretty, the 3 quads match the Ilusions d'Ombre, but of course Premier Regard from fall 2012 looks gorgeous too, I will save up money to buy many products from the Fall collection which is so classy.

Keira Knightly is wearing Abstration here. It looks very beautiful! She is also wearing Tumulte on cheeks and Liberte on lips. http://karlasugar.net/2012/06/what-they-wore-keira-knightley-at-the-premier-for-seeking-a-friend-for-the-end-of-the-world/

Wish those kinds of eyeshadow colors looked as nice on my coloring as they do on Keira.

Here is a great blog post on the Variation quad:

^^Gail, I love that quad! Oh my word, I am for sure getting it!! I haven't gotten super excited about a quad in a while, but that one looks gorgeous

Are we for sure getting this release in the US? I think I missed that

 

[Winthrop44]

I haven't been able to find anything about us getting it here yet Michelle.

Man, these look awesome (I'm just getting caught up after a long hiatus).......any news on whether these will be available in the US?

Winthrop - I have the 'first' Variations quad - I think this looks similar to that one (I need to go get it and see) and the 2 IdOs are beautiful.......I hope I can get my hands on them and Intuition!!

Did you happen to get a chance to check your old Variations quad Cheryl? I think this new Variation without the "s" quad may be different. As far as I can tell the old one was browns?

Variation looks pretty, but a bit sheer. I wish Abstraction can look that pretty on me too. I love those colours but they don't love me back.

Yes, VariationS is definitely browns....the colors listed are Mousse/Almond/Caramel/Toast.........

So this gives me another quad to have a lemming for.....since it sounds like the Fall quad is a bust......

Does anybody have/love the JC Brume D'Or?

 

[Miss QQ]

I like the silvery taupe in Variation. It looks a bit more gold than the taupe in Mystic Eyes which ismy favorite colour.

Hi Elegant!

There's some info about it in the Bombay collection thread.

Hello my dear! Ah, I must have missed it.

 

[Shypo]

Put me down for the Variation quad!!! Loving it!!

 

[Winthrop44]

Me too. I can hardly wait till we get it!

 

[Haven]

Are we going to be able to purchase the cream shadows separate from the quads? Or are they being sold as a set?

 

[Shypo]

^^. I'm under the impression that they're separate purchases - I think they just grouped the products into color stories. I really want that rosy Ombré !

 

[Almus]

At least in here, there are no sets. I have bought mine apart from the quads
