OK, I love the pics of the quad and now I am thinking of getting Pink Swoon blush as well.

Elegant, how much does shipping run at Saks? It is one of the few places I've not placed an order at yet.

It's $7.50

The blush is so much prettier in person (as is everything) I have a gazillion pink blushes but this one is still different enough to me. Its so soft & beautiful on the skin & has a beautiful subtle shimmer - very subtle.
The eyeshadows are way more intense & pigmented than what I could capture in the pics & swatches.

Just dropping in to say that I am in love with the Reflets d'ombre quadra eyeshadow. The colour payoff is utterly fantastic and the colours are gorgeous. The deep teal blue in this quad is especially sublime.

Hope everyone is well, I've not the time lately to keep up with this thread....it's jumpin'!

Cool eh!

The pink shade is a slight, very slight coral/salmon pale pink with subtle gold shimmer.
The shade right next to it (upper right) is a goldish khaki slight taupe with silver shimmer
The bottom left color is a gorgeous blued darkish grey with slight greyed purple hints with silvered shimmer.
The bottom right color is a blackend deep purpley plum with an almost rainbow/multicolor/silvery shimmer

Hope that helps!

That blush would look awesome on you. Its soft, but the pigmentation is just perfect/beautiful. No chalky looking pink. Very wearable by everyone IMHO

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Elegant, you should work for Chanel and I should work for Make Up For Ever. We'd sell the whole damn line.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

ok, so I have to share a very humorous thing from yesterdays shopping excursion.

I'm at the Chanel counter paying for my items & my phone rings. Its hubby (he's sitting out in the mall on a bench), & he says, "why didn't you tell me that my zipper was down?".....

well, I wasn't looking there!.... & I could not stop laughing

Poor Mr. Elegant!

I love that NP. You can really see the purple duochrome near the top of the bottle in the second pic. Great job!

I know - it was really hilarious to me!

Thanks. Its really noticeable in person. It comes out a little bit darker on the nails, but not as dark as in the promo pic on her nails. Its quite pretty. I have no doubt that it will be a quick sell out as will the quad be.
