So should i get the quad or not? Hmm..

Dedicace is the one at the bottom. La Diva is top left, followed by Eclatante. Winthrop - I'm thinking of picking up La Diva, and maybe Dedicace too, this week. Which did you get?

 

[Winthrop44]

Melodieuse!

I also ordered Triomphe but it arrived broken and I haven't reordered - yet anyway. I may still get Dedicace too.

Thanks for explaining, I could not believe eclatante looking so strawberry like compared to DIva

Me too! I didn't think I was going to love it this much. And the formula itself is wonderful, too. It was a good first creme blush for me. I haven't tried on Chamade yet. Do you like Intonation more?

Yes...just a bit but I really really love Chamade too. I actually wore Chamade with Chanel's Passion (red) lipstick which may be kind of a no no...red with red...but they looked beautiful together.
You're right, the formula is divine. I'm sure it looks very lovely on you dear.

Thanks! I tried Chamade on today by patting it with my fingers and it was pretty bright! I tried again with a brush and it looked better. It is very pretty. It kind of reminds me of Boys Don't Cry.

I also tried La Diva on today, too. It's very wearable, but bold at the same time. It's beautiful!

I also bought Melodieuse and Fougueuse and I looove Fougueuse. Melodieuse is pretty as well, but I just compared it to Enjouee Rouge Allure &they are sooo similar on me. I don't think I need two of the same color at this price point! I thought it was going to be somewhat similar, but once compared it is difficult for me to find any difference between the two. Melodieuse MAY be half of a smidgen lighter. Maybe.

Hey everyone!

As soon as I saw the new collection, I got most excited for the preface pressed powder! However don't see much written about it so wondering if its not as good as it is looking from the pix.

Basically I have been for 2 yrs trying to find a nice pressed powder with pink tones and have been unable ever since Rose Merveille which was chanel's exclusive and limited edition. So preface looked to be within pink tones though minus the gorgeous sparkles the Rose Merveille had.

If anyone has bought it, tried it or used it please let me know how it is as I wl have to ask someone to buy it for me and send me.

I think maybe the reason that there hasn't been as much written about the powder here is because a number of people found it similar to the highlight powder that was released with last Spring's collection. I don't know if there's enough difference to warrant owning both, unless you really love your highlighters, but if you don't have the previous one, I find that these Chanel powders give an incredible radiance to the face. I still wear mine frequently and I absolutely love it.

Preface and the Poudre Signee de Chanel are nothing alike. Preface is a pinky-beige MATTE face powder. Far more pink than the 20 Clair shade in the formula. It does not have any shimmer like the Jasmine shade released 2 years ago. A good powder to either set your foundation or to powder any "shine".

Is this similar to the Rosee powder compact.. I have both the Lilas and Rosee and use for similar effects. Just a lighter brightening powder instead of the Les Beiges look which I wear often especially in summer.

Here is a photo of Preface & Rosée...


They aren't dupes at all.... The most similar in effect to Rosée (on the skin) is the Les Beiges N°10.

In color I'd compare Preface to Les Beiges N°10, but slightly pinker. Preface doesn't have any shimmer. It's a mattifying finishing powder.

 

[User38]

great.. and cool. I have Les Beiges in #10 and #30..

That's interesting since in Italy les beiges fairest colour available is 30, so unless other are introduced preface could be a dupe

I've had my first spring haul for almost a week now and still haven't used anything. I keep thinking the blushes are too cool for the looks I wore this week. I mostly wore purples, greys and blues in clothing this week and tend to wear my cool toned makeup with those colors. I think will just pick a blush and make it work tomorrow. I really want to try these products out. Plus, I still have some items I want to get so I'll probably have a second haul soon.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking it might be similar to Les Beiges, but I was really hoping it might have a bit of shimmer. What a shame.

I am totally skipping Preface. Don't need another finishing powder which does almost nothing. I will survive with No. 10 LesB, and my Rosees and Lilasasses

I was at the counter again and nearly bought La Diva. The SA was wearing it with the liner and looked very pretty. It wasn't that shocking bright, just a brightening statement pink lips. She paired it with Narcisse jc. I was tempted to get Fougueuse too. My counter didnt get the eyeshadow duo. I dont understand why chanel is not selling the duos here, all the perms had been removed last year. Did anyone get Diapason IdO? It's calling my Name after I read thus review. http://drivelaboutfrivol.blogspot.sg/2014/01/chanel-diapason-illusion-dombre-92.html?m=1

 

[chi1216]

I was considering purchasing La Diva but I've decided not to. I have way too much lipstick anyway and I have a color that's similar anyway.

 

[Miss QQ]

I swatched Diapason and La Diva again. Diapason looks bruisey on me, but the blue duochrome is beautiful. Monsy - How do you wear Diapason?

Diapason is the only thing on my list from this collection. It's beautiful.
