HG, it really is. I don't know why I left without it. I guess I was trying to limit myself....smh. I'll have it by week's end...unless I somehow manage to end up back at the Chanel counter on my way home :)

Sorry, I don't have digital camera for pics. I wore the quad today. I used all the colors but the dark green and I found the colors to be sheer. They are pretty but I don't know if I would say they are a must have. I'm going to try again tomorrow. I wore Pensee gloss over natural liner and like that look. All of the glosses are shimmery but I do think they'd work well over a variety of lipsticks. Last is the roze bronzer which I wore as a blush. This is another product I'm undecided on. It looks gorgeous in the palette but it turned a little too rosy on me - then again I could have just over-applied the rosy strip.

I'll post again once I try the bronzer and shadows for a few more days. Hope this helps.

Can one of you lovely ladies tell me how much darker Bronze Corail is than Bronze Rose? I know Bronze Corail is the one that's geared towards darker/warmer skin tones. I'm warm, but I'm not too dark! I really liked the look of the Corail one, I just don't want it to be mega-bronze on me... :unsure:

Do any of the bloggers have good swatches of the entire collection? (Preferrably not the allglam site) I am getting a bit antsy to see this so I can do my Nordies preorder.
Elegant you and I have similar coloring and tastes. What are your thoughts on the collection? Have you seen it?

I am only getting the bronzers.. and that's if I am still home when this launches, I am afraid this is going to sell fast ..

I definitely like the looks of both bronzers. Do you think a pale gal like myself could pull of the coral one/

P.S. LOVE the new pic. Gorgeous!

April..thank you! You are too kind to an old lady.. lol.

I want to rock both the bronzers.. I think they will both work on my skin tone.. I am an NC20 or thereabouts (not counting the few spots on my face) !!

Hi dear!

No, I haven't seen any of it. My order is on hold at Nordies until MAY 14th just so I can get the darn black patent Chanel bag free! I may see if my closer Macys or Dillards got it in so I can go see everything in person. I don't want to wait until the 14 but I want the bag.

I got the Rose bronzer, Pink Peony gloss, the eye pencil Rose Platine, Mimosa & Morning Rose so far. I may have forgotten something.

Oh & April - I don't know if there are swatches yet but I am sure there will be since most stores had it out.

OH one more thing - YES - I think we can rock almost any color - seriously

aw that is a shame that the quad colours are sheer. i guess if the uk version is baked maybe i could use it wet to make it more opaque?

There may be some batch variation or something, because mine is not sheer at all. It's nicely pigmented and so was the tester I swatched. The pigmentation and lack of glitter was the reason I scooped it up right away. Mine is up there with the best Chanel quads I own as far as texture (and for me, color too).

I wish I could see swatches of the Rose bronzer -- if any of you have it and can swatch it, I'd love to see it

I wonder when that Dior bronzer is coming out?? I may need to see swatches of that one, too . . .

I didn't have my camera with me so can't post pics of my swatches of it but I think elegant's SA's description of "more of a rose flush color" is right on...I would just add "light" to that.

Very good chance my dear! I was just going to go check.

I just got off the phone with the Chanel lady & she said it is flying! On the Rose Bronzer, she said its more of a rose flush color.
