Thanks for telling me which name it is. So the color description, "shimmering violet", is kinda off, huh? Didn't expect that to happen to Chanel 'cause inappropriate color descriptions are rather Mac's thing, lol. I'll have a look at Intrepide in person, then. The last summer collection launched pretty late here because of the Collection Variation that was released around April/May. So I'm not sure how long I'll have to wait to make a decision. Otherwise, I'll just go for Cecile. I've already swatched it two or three times and it's beautiful indeed.
I really don't know how they described it as shimmering violet, not even close!

I finally checked out this collection in person. I have to say that my favorite Stylo was the rose gold one. It would look interesting as a highlighter on the center of the lips. The purple and teal Stylos have a weird iridescent finish that's kind of unique. The rose gold and brown ones are just straight up metallic. The green is like a grayish army green that's pretty matte to satin. I think they could've had better shades to be honest. I'd just pick up the shade(s) you would actually get the best use out of. I do like the bronzer and Amorosa lipstick. The polishes were beautiful. I'd love to try Terrana, but I feel like I have a magnetic polish that looks similar to it and I still need to savor my NARS polish from winter that's kind of the same sort of finish.
The Rose gold is my favorite stylo as well, I've been using it quite a bit in the last week!

 [COLOR=0000FF]  Thanks AWS.   They're the 3 NPs that I purchased. I can't get the Stylo Eyeshadow Laurier Rose (Metallic Rose Gold) off my mind.  [/COLOR]:sigh: [COLOR=0000FF]I may need that one too.[/COLOR]
You need that Laurier Rose Stylo, it's gorgeous, I've been using it as shadow, liner and even as highlighter!

My purples arrived this morning and I did get a pic and swatch before I got bust. The Stylo E/S is so smooth & creamy and the color isn't at all scary. Below: Le Vernis Nail Colour Lavanda / Intense Vivid Violet



Above:
Left / Top: Stylo Eyeshadow Campanule / Shimmering Violet (Limited Edition) - No shimmer detected via swatch
Right / Bottom: Stylo Yeux Waterproof Orchidee / Intense Vivid Violet (Limited Edition)

I wore these two yesterday. The purple was very shimmery and I didn't want to wear shimmery eyes yesterday so I wore one of my new Mac matte lavender shades over it and wore it like a shadow base. Campanule looked shimmery on the eye when I did a heavier application and didn't blend it. I wore Orchidee too. Very pretty together.
Campanule looks a mat , no shimmering at all .... Mumble ...

These 2 posts are confusing me. I went back and I think Ernie is talking about the Rouge Coco Shine Intrepid. If you look at the first page the description reads of Intrepid is that it is a shimmery violet. It is a mistake. I think it is a coral or orange color. Campanule stylo is definitely a shimmery violet. I think Meddy just meant that her swatch wasn't showing the shimmer in the style.

@Medgal07 can you confirm this?

I forgot to mention I picked up more stuff. I got Lavanda, Orchidee, Olivine, Amourous and Reveuse. I sill have the last 2 stylos to get and Mediterranee nailpolish. I still want the illuminating fluid but since my SA signed me up for an event in June I'll try and wait for that time to get it. I keep reading that people don't like this collection but I do. Oh and here's a pic of Campanule with Laurier Rose stylo. You make out the shimmer here.

And Ernie's earlier pic shows off the shimmer well.

Ooh Lavanda is a jelly.  Good to hear. Don't worry about it.  I really dug into the bronzer and it does not look any different. I wore these two yesterday.  The purple was very shimmery and I didn't want to wear shimmery eyes yesterday so I wore one of my new Mac matte lavender shades over it and wore it like a shadow base.  Campanule looked shimmery on the eye when I did a heavier application and didn't blend it.  I wore Orchidee too.  Very pretty together.
