Just got the Rose Petale palette - I absolutely LOVE LOVE it! The concealer is a perfect natural shade, the blush is such a beautiful natural subtle pink flush, the highlight looks like it could be very very similar to the baume! It's very light slightly white with a beautiful subtle glow with just a tad of a gloss...TAD.
My #5 lipstick hasn't arrived yet. Says it's on the way.

Does Extreme lean pink?

Not to me. Epitome does though. Sabrina’s swatches are very accurate.

Thanks, I liked how it looks on Sabrina. I got Modern yesterday. It leans much more warm peach on me. I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but it grew on me.
My #5 lipstick was supposed to be here last night but it got put on a wrong trailer & sent several states away. Now I won't get it until Monday. Bummer

I just ordered 175 Rose Naturel essentielle palette. I didn't know this existed but it looks really pretty. Looks like it is only available on Chanel

It looks very pretty! So does the rose petale one you mentioned above. Let us know which one you like better... I have the beige Clair one and in person it looks better than online.

It will be here Monday. If I can get good pics, I'll post both palettes. So you like BC on? I may need to revisit that tomorrow when I go to Nordies.

Yes, BC is a good color match for me. Definitely try it on in the store if you can.

Me too, but it seems that it's exactly 116 Extreme which isn't available in Austria/Germany
.So I comforted myself buying 112 Idéal and 114 Épitome (just waiting for going to France and completing the mini-collection by Extrême...).
I like Épitome very much, it's a perfect rasperry red, but not too bluish; it works very well with any neutral eye and any rosy blush.

Hey, just me again haha... I like the Glossimers without any/much shimmer the best. Any of the ones that have a jelly kind of finish are my faves, like Romance. I always feel like the shimmery ones are too gritty.

Haha, hi! I wanted to ask you this, but I thought it was better to get out of the Sephora thread.
Thank you for the feedback!

I got the 175 Rose palette today. It's subtle but very very pretty. The concealer is ok, a bit too much on the beige side for me but it still works. 180 Rose Petale is over-all a great match for me. But, the 175 blush is a very pretty more natural rose pink shade. 180 blush is more on the pink side. 175 highlighter shade is BEAUTIFUL! It's a rose gold shade with a tiny amount of shimmer. It is beautiful on the skin. 180 highlighter is more white pearl. I love both.
So, I noticed that the concealer & blush have these tiny black fibers on top Both palettes have them - the 175 had a bit more. It's probably from the velvet cover. They really shouldn't be there, but they do go away & not a deal breaker for me. I called Chanel & told them but....eh, do they care about anything!??? Not really. CS said, yeah, the fibers are there sometimes even when you peel the plastic back from the eyeshadows I told her it's a quality control issue.
Oh, & it's very dark rainy cloudy here. If it clears up, I'll take some pics of both palettes.

Good to know [MENTION=21522]elegant-one[/MENTION]. I haven’t ordered any of them still. Hurricane set me back by knocking out our power and our generator failed. Ugh luckily we were only out for about 20 hours but because of our set up with no electric and no generator we cannot flush or shower so not fun and you’re really sitting there hoping it will go on sooner rather than later. Either way I know it’s nothing compared to the poor folks in Florida so I’m not really complaining.

Oh my! I was worried about & praying for you
I was thinking you would be ok. So scary but I am happy you didn't blow away! We had a huge amount of rain last week & the sewer backed up 
Fortunately, we have water alarms that let us know immediately. We couldn't get anybody to help us until late the next morning! Oh geesh, no flush, no water....it drove me crazy. We're so used to taking all of our comforts for granted.
