Not exactly. The person I'm working with from Chanel.com is super nice and very responsive and says it was reshipped but I think someone in the distribution center may be pulling her leg....which I may be okay with after hearing about the glitter.

It's a very very fine fairy glitter, but glitter no less. I can get a nice sheen on my cheekbones, and if you look very closely, you can see some glitter. I think some people will be fine and some will hate it. Especially for the price.

It's gorgeous, but it definitely has microglitter. Not sure everyone will be happy about that.

ETA: Doesn't seem to have much base color. Sheers out to nothing very easily when swatched on my arm. Very fine glitters left behind, but no color. At work still so not sure how this will play out on the face exactly.

It was scary swatching it, but it really did give a nice shimmer on the cheeks and most of the very very teeny tiny microglitter blended away.
Hubby couldn't see it until he got waaay too close to my face. :hehe:

I think so, too!





Lol
I'm sorry I couldn't post my video with the way the microglitter looks in the light when I was posting my pics. I don't have anything like it.





It is very good for that, too lol

I'm not on instagram, but I decided to try to find the post from TM where she ruined this for everyone. Ruh-roh, here are some comments:

sweethazel20I got mine and im slightly disappointed. It has alot of glitter in it but I dont want to return it because of the packaging. Grrrrr

oliviatakSooo much glitter! I was hoping it was just an overspray but it's not. I always thought of Chanel as being sophisticated luxury, but this is a glitter bomb. It would have been sheer perfection without the glitter. I can't see it being very flattering as a highlight on the face. It looks nice as an eyeshadow, but for solely being used as an eyeshadow for over $70? I just can't.

Here's a positive post about the glitter ;)

rasknic66Just received mine today. Whoa. SPARKLE OVERLOAD. I'm really glad I was able to get it....I just wasn't expecting this much sparkle from Chanel. It's almost like a pressed version of Artist Couture Diamond Glow Powders. Really liking it. Just surprised by the sparkle.
