has anyone gotten reflex JC? i am wondering is it identical to old reflex and is it the baked european formula or not?

I just bought Reflex recently, but I'm not familiar with the old Reflex and not sure how to tell if it's the baked formula or not.
It is absolutely gorgeous though.

How is the concealer shade in this one? I wear Chanel #10 concealer. It looks darker in your photo.
Everything in the photo is a tad deeper because it was natural light through a window on an overcast day. Still, I don't think this is the equivalent of 10. It's quite odd to me because it shows as definitely lighter than 150 the lightest one prior, which they recommend for 20 -30. As an 18 - 20, I never got 150 because I was concerned that was too deep for me and this works perfectly. On the website answers, they keep saying 150 is for all the light toned, but they may be saying that because this one is LE and they don't want to be recommending it too much. I swatched it on the inside of my arm to photograph for you but it literally disappeared and is not visible. I am not the palest of the pale. In every brand there is, I am the next shade up-- fair-- and quite neutral.

Thank you so much for the very detailed helpful information. I'm pretty sure it would still work for me.

I asked this on a chat with the Chanel site. She said it means they are awaiting stock in 2-3 weeks to fulfill the order. Hope that's true! Mine is also "on hold."

Thank you. Mine has shipped now woop woop. They said mine was because i am in the uk using an international bank card but shipping to the US. They had to check it out further. It will be a few more weeks until I actually recieve it though.

Here ya go! Pic #4 is probably the best representation of it in the pan. It's soft in shade on the skin.

People in my family would be laughing their heads off to hear that you said information I provided was "detailed."

Meanwhile, I've been on the fence with the Tweed. And began going through my JCs and other blushes looking for dupes and found a few items in the related color family.
And of course the main dupe-- is Rouge Profonde, the brick red from the C + E collection. And instead of Tweed being in the same color family as one of my need-to-wear-it more blushes, it is close to one of my wearing it constantly blushes. It's kind of like a spring version of a brick red color. Which makes it a keeper.
