Are you a Chanel addict too?


Katred, interesting that you didn't get the RAs - if you're interested in either of them, let me know.

Thanks very much- I might take you up on that!

I saw this morning that Temptalia has pictures and swatches of the quad up:

She also has photos of a look she did with some of the summer products:

Looks beautiful on her, although I will say the colours look similar to ones that I have already. I was hoping that the peach colour would show a little more peachy/ pink, rather than just as a highlighter.

I think it was on Temptalia yesterday that I saw the promo pic and it looked like the model is wearing pink eyeshadow which I never really noticed before? Weird. No pink eyeshadow in the collection?

She also will be reviewing the stuff soon and has posted a look using the products!

On my monitor the promo is WAY cooler toned on Temptalia's site than on any other site I've seen it on - it's not color accurate at all on there.

I was just coming in here to say that Temptalia's colors are WAY off on that promo pic. But I see ya'll already know that.

The highlighter color is pink... but it's sheer. What I really like about this quad is that the colors blend so effortlessly. Each time Chanel releases a quad... the formula gets better and better. I LOVE this one. I'm about to ship Murano (which I kept for the green) off to my baby sis. This one is sooooooooooo much better.

I finally got my package with the rose bronzer, Aurore and Rose Platine. I've only played with Aurore so far, which I love....but I have to say looks NOTHING like it looked to me in Saks lighting. I've come to the conclusion that the lighting there is even worse than the lighting at my Macy's MAC counter, and that's saying alot. I'll definitelty need to remember to check my swatches outside next time. Anyway...on my pale neutral-warm skin RP looks very reminiscent of the grey in the quad, like Karla said. I just don't see it as an iced violet..at all.

Thats frustrating I know, because I have 2 Macys where the lighting is just awful. Ahhhhh, I cannot wait to hear about the rest. Enjoy!

Winthrop -- enjoy your new haul! My Macy's has the worst lighting also LOL I got matched for a foundation there, and when I walked out I caught a glimpse of my reflection and the foundation looked horrible. I had to go to a different department store to get matched. So frustrating.
I am excited to play with Aurore tomorrow -- such a gorgeous golden peachy nude!!

I was just curious but is the RC Gardenia limited edition? I thought it was permanent. I'm a little confused and I'm sorry if this has been asked already!

It is permanent in some places (Australia is one), but in the US it was a LE Neiman Marcus exclusive when the Rouge cocos were first released and then disappeared. I just checked Chanel's US site and it says it's LE now with this collection. That could be wrong, but I guess our best info is that it's LE.

I wore Rose Plantine today and I love what it did to my eye. Subtle, but so pretty. I had a whole look planned around it, but it didn't work out. I swear Satin Taupe just looks like poo on my eyes, but I keep on trying. I think I am officially done now. I just took everything off except for this liner on the waterline and I still loved it. I still want Sari lipstick, though. :sneaky: I love the quad, but it looks like so many green I have, including my WW palette from Mac. I love greens, but I have to pass.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's reviews of their hauls! I'm now leaning away from the quad, since it's lovely but I have similar colours and leaning towards Rose Platine. I don't have anything that looks like that and my eye liner collection could do with some augmenting.

Katred, you should definitely get RP - it's so unique! I love the quad - but if you have colors that are similar, you should pass. I'm pleased with the amount of 'blue' in the green - the colors are just stunning. I wore the taupey color on the lid yesterday with the darkest green as a liner over Greengrease - it was really pretty.\

The glosses are pretty, but IMO not total must-haves -

And finally, I really like the duo I got - I think I may be the only one who went for that one. The greens are very pretty and the darker one is well-pigmented. But again, not wholly unique except maybe for texture.

No Cheryl...I must confess I caved and ordered the duo!

It's not here yet tho. I think Miss QQ is planning on getting it too. I just love the texture of those duo shadows so much and find them so easy to do a quick & easy eye look with that I couldn't resist. I really love the quad too.
