I just did a post comparing the Chanel Bronze Rose, Dior Aurore and Edward Bess Daydream bronzers for anyone interested:

EW!!! It certainly makes me think twice about putting it anywhere near my eyes! Strangely, it looks completely unlike any of the other photos I've seen of it.
Janice- Equally gross. How in the hell could you put a gloss back in the box after it had been opened?
Wow. This thread is becoming full of ick all of a sudden... But Janice, Liberte looks perfect on you, so that makes it better.

Shontay - the duo is stunning on your skintone!
I'm very excited to use Rose Platine for the lower lashline. I have Vert Bronze but it doesn't show up most of the time. Sadly, I accidentally broke off about 2cm of the black eyeliner, ebene. Is there anyway I can use the broken piece? I want the quad and this duo but they are both green and I also have several quads with the dark green and khaki green shade - Murano, Reflet's d Ombre, Oasis. But I want Lilium mainly because of the taupe shade, not sure if it is justifiable.

There are a lot of fabulous Taupe shades out there and while Lilium has a beautiful one it isn't THE BEST I've seen or anything so I certainly wouldn't get the quad just based on that. I too have Murano, Regard Perle, Reflet's d'Ombres and Winter Night and I do still find this quite unique. Maybe you would like the look the quad as a whole gives? But no, I wouldn't say justifiable for just the taupe ;-)

She really had to smash it up with the back handle of the brush -- it looked great when she smudged it on with an angled brush. I haven't used that technique at home since it uses so much product. But hey, if your eyeliner it already broken -- hopefully that will be a good way to use it up

I wore my shadow duo this morning and I am speechless! Seriously, it's amazing. It makes me want more Chanel shadows. It's so buttery smooth and pigmented. I could just swipe my brush across the shadows and that's all I need. I'm used to being heavy handed and digging into shadows, but I can't do that with these babies. I am seriously impressed. The colors are really elegant together, too and of course that packaging . Guys, I think I might have to go get that quad. This is dangerous. I hope all of their shadows are this good.

I guess I'll post this in the SUmmer thread. I know there were a few of you wondering how the Dior Aurore bronzer looks applied alone so I did a look the other day using no other blush or highlighter here. Oh and I was using a lot of Chanel in the look too of course!

I also wanted to share a tip from a YouTube video from Kayla one of the LMdB artists. She suggested a great way to wear a bolder lip colour was to apply gloss FIRST then the lipstick. I have been playing with this and it's absolutely flippin fantastic!! I'm wearing Aragonite under Flamboyante or Coquette today (I'm alternating LOL). It's also a great way to get that sheer pop of colour you get from the RC Shines but it lasts way longer.

^^ Gorgeous! Liberte is more coral peach on me. Aurore is pretty on you, not muddy at all!
Just to share some makeup of celebrities using Chanel at the costume institue gala. Emma stone is wearing the lightest pink shade from Lilium on her lids. They are wearing many of the RCS too.

^^ Me too. I'm happy to see they aren't all doing the "natural" makeup look. Some of them are wearing bright colours.
The summer collection is up on the chanel website for asia and there is a promo video. Not sure if we have seen it before. Love the summery feel and the gorgeous model!
