The eyeshadow quads sound amazing -- they sound like they might not have as much fallout (a major pet peeve!!) as other brands. When are the duos coming out for summer (are those an international launch?)?? I saw the swatches on Temptalia and was in love!

My pleasure, hun.
Don't worry, most people never get that US products are different and are produced separately from the ones sold in the rest of the world.
I haven't seen the swatches on Temptalia!!

And thanks for all your advice on the Chanel Chance Eau de Fraiche.. I'm so tempted!

Where's my head!!
Totally forgot to tell you about that yesterday. Yes, you can use them wet. You don't need fix+ to do it, just plain water. Although I prefer using a bit of lotion or activateur.

We are always doomed hun!!
I know there's so much out there that captures our eyes, but remember this should be fun and pleasant.
Follow your heart and go for what you really love.
Sorry, I can't comment on how bad CS at Chanel.com is. We can't buy online here
. But yeah, the site's swatches suck!!

I do have it dear.
I only have Euro quads, round and baked. The only squared ones I have are those Lumiere Facettes they release from time to time on summers.
Dreams: It's silky and pigmented, but the 3 of the shades are really soft. None of the colors are shimmery or sparkly. It has a matte black with silky texture (kinda like MAC Carbon e/s but softer), a pale beige with pink undertones (very much like MAC Nanogold e/s), a soft brown (similar to MAC Modelette e/s but creamier, silkier and satiny) and a pale milky lavender (also silky, satiny).
Hope this helps. If you need/want to know anything else about it, ask me.

Enjoy dear!! Tell us how you find your goodies once you receive them!!

Back to topic....
i wanted to swatch Super & Genial @ my macy's to know how bright they were but they didn't have the testers anymore.

Thanks so much dear!! Your kind words mean a lot to me!!
It's my pleasure to be able to help!!
I really LOVE Chanel Cosmetics... If money wasn't a problem, I'd only wear Chanel clothes and accessories... As my favorite aunt used to said "You just can't hide a woman in love".
