The blush Rose Initiale is simply beautiful ! I will buy this blush, the face powder, quad, lipsticks and the polishes it's really beyond my control I think ! You're right Rose Initiale is not like the others ( I have a few of them too ), it is more subtle than Rose Ecrin which is pretty but also a bit nude. Waouh it's a blessing that I don't like YSL and Dior Fall collections, I'll focus on Chanel and M.A.C, Nars of course too !
Thank you for the link, photos are gorgeous !

Chanel always seems to hit and miss on their es quads.. dunno. Their single pans are better quality as well as the duos.

oh.. the Rose Initiale is gorgeous

Particularly up here. I'm not planning on the quad at all, but I am interested in taking a closer look at a few of the singles. The blush, Caractere and possibly more are definitely still on the table for me.

I went to Nordies online to order the Rose Initiale JC, but I didn't see the caprice RAEG on the site. I absolutely love the formula, and would love to try a few more shades. If anyone sees it, let me know!

Rose Initiale looks gorgeous! I want the sequin powder too. I think. I'll pass the quad, I like Winter Nights but it is not available here.

....I looove the swatches and have to get it!


But I would like to get the US-version because I just do not like our EU-version of the JC.I have several of these but
the quality is not what I expect of a Chanel Blush.Same is for the quads...I do only get the US-version.The EU-quads have such
a poor quality IMO.

I want Caprice and the powder as well, but neither is up on Nordies site yet. I've decided I will likely return the quad. I also ordered the peachy e/s single (Complice) - it looked very pretty - and got the eyelash curler while I was at it (before it's gone).

All of you ladies have e convinced I need the blush! I really want Caprice (pouts). More swatches of the Fall stuff (forgive me if someone has already shared this link):

Complice e/s looks amazing (Yay, Cheryl, that you got it) and the silver liner looks pretty too. If only they would get all of the products online . . .

^^^Thank you for the link. I like the look of all of her swatches. Now I need to wait for the whole collection to be online. I want to get everything at one time if I can.

I want the JC, the silver liner, caprice and complice. I am fighting the urge to get the illuminating powder. The quad is a skip b/c two of the shadows don't seem to show up in the swatches that I have seen.

I am getting mixed up with the Chanel names -- Caprice and Complice! Are you talking about the e/s single? It looks lovely -- I prob do have a few shadows similar tho.

If you're interested, Rouge Bunny Rouge is available through www.zuneta.com, who ship worldwide. Their service is phenomenal as well.

I've been curious about Sunday Riley, but unfortunately the brand is tricky to get up here. I believe that Barney's ships internationally, but I know a couple of people who have had real horror stories getting orders from them.
I hate to do this to you my dear but did you not know that eBeauty.ca now carries Sunday Riley?

I have been too afraid to order myself though... I don't need another high end addiction!

So the eyeshadow singles are of a new formula? I think the two lightest shade of the quad may not show up on me, but since mine is baked, maybe it will be more shimmery, but I still think I'll pass. I want the powder, it looks quite rosy in the fruitylashes swatches. I want the silver liner too, it looks soft and not super frosty.

I am still debating on this one....I would really love to get another silver eye liner (I have already got Silver Skates from MAC) but I am not sure about the qualtity.Seems to be quite sheer and fruitylashes says that the texture is not very soft.
