elegant - LR really looks like what the model is wearing. I agree that it doesn't last long, but that is expected of the gloss. Enjoy!
winthrop - love your new avatar!
It just has to be
The color & feel are worth it. I was surprised that it actually showed color on my lips.So glad that you guys are loving the Bronzers - they're worth it.

I keep going back and looking at that one too... I have Myriade, which is kind of close, but Nakar is less sparkly and more coral than red. Stunning colour.I don't know how and I don't know why I just bought a Nacar gloss.. I never wear gloss anymore.. lol. It was just so so pretty on top of the Monte Carlo that I was wearing.. and that was that.

The Dior bronzers seem to have sold out pretty much everywhere - I hope the Chanel ones don't

i found the aurora powder on escentual.com last night - they had 3 left in stock after i ordered, might be worth a look if you're wanting oneThe Dior bronzers seem to have sold out pretty much everywhere - I hope the Chanel ones don't
additionally one of the dior counters in my city said there's a possibility they might get more shipped in, but it was just a guess, nothing's planned.the chanel ones def aren't flying as quickly it seems! i hit up all the dior counters in my (small) city & all said both the summer glow powders had sold out within a few hours on the first day, whereas i went to the chanel counter yesterday afternoon and they had both bronzers left in stock, so it's definitely moving slower than dior.

So.. I am new to Chanel but I am so excited! LOL I recently got the Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing base and the Bronze Corail! Yaay! My friend that helps me with my CP's is trying to find for me the Rose Platine eyeliner! It looks so amazing! I want the bronze rose also but I hope its still available next month...

The collection finally launched here last Friday. I'd been waiting for it for so long I went to my local Chanel counter as soon as I got off from work. I purchased Lilium, Khaki Discret, Rose Platine, Bronze Rosé, Aurore glossimer, Pink Peony glossimer, Candy Glow Aqualumière, RC in Gardénia and RCS in Sari D'Eau.
I didn't buy Pensée because it's similar to Nakkar (love it!), only much sheerer. I also didn't get Sari Doré because it seemed too orange for my taste, I got Sari D'eau instead and am very happy with it. I really like the Rouge Coco Shine formula, they're moisturizing, lightweight and have a beautiful sheen. I also like that, in spite of my pigmented lips and their supposed sheerness, they apply fairly opaque. I first got Biarritz and Monte-Carlo, then Boy, now Sari D'eau and will probably end up getting more.
I'm completely in love with Lilium, the green shade in particular is absolutely gorgeous. Unlike what a lot of people have said I don't find it to be sheer at all. It's as pigmented as the duo and a little goes a long way. I wonder if the European version of the quad is more pigmented than the US version... Today I wore the green shade combined with the taupe-gray and pink shades, and Rose Platine on my lower lash line. It looked beautiful! Although I really liked the look I spent the day wondering if it actually made my brown eyes pop, until I realized I had been cursing the fact that I didn't inherit my mother's beautiful green eyes because my eyes were so much more noticeable. So I guess it did make my brown eyes pop, but I still wish they were green instead.
The shades in Khaki Discret are the kind that really suit me, so I definitely had to get it. I have very warm undertones and usually don't look good in cold shades, but for some reason green eyeshadow and blue-based red lipsticks suit me really well.
I'm also loving Bronze Rosé. It swatched quite similar to Bronze Corail on my arm, but on account of my relatively fair skin I decided to bring Bronze Rosé instead. I'm glad I did because not only is it beautiful, it's also pigmented and "dark" enough for me to need only a little bit. I think Bronze Corail would have turned out to be too dark for me.
Anyway, I'm really happy with this collection and don't regret any of my purchases. For now I'll keep playing with it and dream of the gorgeous Byzance Collection.
If possible, could you please post pictures of it? I'd like to buy it, but I'm wondering if it's in any way similar to Candy Glow.

Hi ilovemakeup84! Hope you get rose platine and bronze rose. They are my favourites and I can wear them all year round. Enjoy the bronzer and bronze corail! Hi andromeda! Great haul! I love many of the items you got. Candy glow is more orange and I prefer lotus rose on me which is a warm pink. I wore khaki discretion for the first time today and I love it! It is gorgeous! The subtle shimmer looks very sophisticated and the texture and pigmentation is awesome. It is my favorite just like delicate taupe.

Hopefully it will not! Debenhams and Boots still have not put it up on the site so hopefully by the time they do you have enough money! Honestly I have been so terrible this month and spent so much on makeup! - I blame Surf Baby! And the worst thing is ever since I bought my NARS and Chanel goodies I literally haven't touched my MAC!

uk ladies, chanel bronze rose should be up on debenhams.com on thursday, according to my info - they're working on it! i'd hazard a guess it'll be available from boots.com at around the same time, it looks like both websites use the same implemented system? idk, i know nothing about anything techy!

Hmm almost a week after the actual release date - I guess its a good thing for those that did not have the funds, plus they've got 500 points when you spend £25 offer on again...trying to resist the temptation of buying something else...I can only buy one beauty item this week and thats the Dior bronzer!
