Chanel Les Expressions de Chanel 2012

I wanted to love the gold one, but like katred has said, it has kind of a sheer base with loads of glitter. While the colour is gorgeous, I didn't know what to do with it because of the glitter factor. How are you'll wearing it?

I have both and I love them. If you check out the link in my signature, I have a review and a FOTD using both new Illusion D'Ombres.

Gorgeous! Thanks for that. I will get both but wear them very sheer on their own or over brown to subdue them.

 

[Anitacska]

You're welcome. They are both really pretty. Vision can be sheered out very nicely. Abstraction is much sheerer anyway, and it's just such a beautiful pinky-coral.

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:

oh thank you so much for mention I just read that this collection will be released in the US in Oct/Nov so you definitely have to try it out I've been wearing these eyeshadows a lot recently and I really love them!

Oh I will definitely be buying it thanks to you! Beautiful photos! And you have the most GORGEOUS color eyes!!

Makes me want Abstraction oh so much more......what a beautiful color!! And I'm happy to hear that the collection will be here in Oct/Nov timeframe......too bad - they look more like spring/summer colors but who cares!

Has anyone seen Abstraction? Does it look like MAC Expensive Pink?

Hm, I haven't seen them side by side, but I think it does from what I recall. Although I'd actually say it's pinker than Expensive Pink.

I was just at Holts and saw these I want Illusion d’Ombre in #88 Abstraction & #89 Vision so very badly.

 

[baghdad81]

Vision is quite lovely really! I did not like Abstraction on me, because the base colour blended really well into my eye lid colour.

 

[Sugar & Spice]

Coral Expression will be mine!

I usually go for purples but since I changed my hair color, the Coral will look best.

Does anyone know if or when this collection will be available in the US?

I am assuming the same as in Canada?

Actually, it's already out in Canada. Holt Renfrew has it, if you're near one. Not sure about other locations.

 

[Winthrop44]

katred have you seen the Intuition quad irl? Does it look like it does here color-wise? I know Cafemakeup did not care for the texture of this one compared to Variation, but I think I like these colors better than the Nordies exclusive Rives.

oh, my Chanel lady told me that Brad Pitt is the new "man" for Chanel #5

You guys prolly already know that, but I didn't & not like I care.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^Yep. I can't really see it personally, but don't care either.
