I have that highlighter! I bought it a month ago but only used it for the first time last Saturday because it looks so pretty in the compact.

I'm getting that Chanel quad too - I'm glad it's not $95 - but I'll get at least 1-2 MES shadows also.

That's ridiculus! The exchange rate should only make it around $60AUS, plus shipping would only make it $70AUS - at the most.
The mark up is insane! Permanant MAC e/s are $32AUS here - that's double I believe.

That Chanel highlighter is beautiful! Also can't go wrong with a Chanel lipstick, those are seriously high in quality. The quad looks great and I might end up getting it, even though I would love Chanel eyeshadows to have a little more pigmentation to them, they all have been quite sheer IMO (atleast the colours in the quads).
From Style Black I'll be getting atleast the Cinderfella MES. If the glitter is very visible in these, I might think about buying one more. The Bat Black CCB is looking pretty. Also the mattenes are looking nice, but I think I will survive with the black and dark purple lipsticks that I already have considering I wear dark lips only in autumn and winter. But you never know what I will accidentally buy when visiting my MAC counter...

Sign up for the Chanel e-mails. They have free shipping from time to time, and I think they always have free shipping for a $150 purchase, which wouldn't be hard to do if you're buying their skincare. I'm a big fan of Exceptionnel mascara, Joues Contraste blushes and Rouge Allure lipsticks (Naive and Discrete are my faves). The only glossimer I've really loved is Wild Rose.

I also love that picture of the highlighting powder that you posted about. Dear jebus, that's gorgeous! I want the quad too. I know a lot of people hate Chanel quads, but I love how they look on my not-so-young eyelids. They look so flattering on me.
Chanel twins separated at birth, indeed.
I do actually plan to get a couple of the MAC MES from Style Black, (when I swore I'd never buy another MES again) but only plan to use them foiled. I'm hoping that applied wet, they'll have the same effect as some of the NARS e/s like Nightclubbing, but with the shimmer actually showing up. I need to get depotting ASAP so I can B2M for these. I'm interested in Young Punk, Gilt by Association and Blue Flame. Also interested in the grease paintstick, but need to see it in person.

I had to breathe a sigh of relief the other day and realize that the style black collection is the last big collection I need to worry about. All of these other collections I have no interest in except D squared and the colour expansion, but they are small purchases. I have absolutely no interest in the holiday sets. I do have to buy the Chanel black collection, though. And theeen, I can get back to paying my bills and save up enough money for christmas time so I can let the drinks flow.
