Loved all of them, esp the eyeshadows and lipsticks…
They look gorgous! Will you be doing reviews?
Rouge looks beautiful. I hope it’s actually terrible so I don’t feel bad about not being able to afford it! :p
I love this quad and lipstick, bought them the other day at Selfridges in London and they are BEAUTIFUL! The pigmentation in the quad is fantastic.
Actually it’s Topkapi not Topaki. I’m loving the quad and the rouge blush, can’t wait for the swatches!
I want that lipstick! The classiest blue-red ever. I also like those red and gold powders. It’s like old style Edith piaf beauty.
Hi Christine, thanks for sharing! this collection looks so nice! Will you do a review of the quad and the lipstick?
isnt there also a $250 palette coming out w/ this collection?
You are referring to Lumières Byzantines de Chanel Palette Highlighters. Only 1500 of them were made. Each one came with an instruction card that was also hand numbered so that you knew which one of the 1500 you had received. They were released in May and are long gone, quickly snatched up by make-up aficionados. Topkapi is the quad that Chanel created for the rest of us and it’s stunning in beauty, elegance, and sophistication.
No .. .. only 200 will be available for US customers ..
The 1500 was the total manufactured number of palettes world wide.
I think we’re getting the two different palettes confused :-P. I’ve been discussing the expensive and extremely limited Lumières Bysantines; not the lovely and limited Topkapi. When I said that was the one for the rest of us, I was referring to the price point and relative ease in obtaining it– as easy as going to Chanel.com.
What type of palette?
Lumières Bysantines can be seen on Café Makeup and Best Things in Beauty. It’s a work of art masquerading as a set of golden highlighters.
I think this collection is destined for me, all my favourite eye, lip and cheek colours. Lovely. Is it UK too?
That red blush looks gorgeous but I just can’t justify the cost of Chanel (though once we’re not spending a fortune keeping our grumpy old cat ticking along, that might become my indulgence – right now, it might be my vet who’s buying Chanel…paid for by MOI!!!)
I broke down and ordered it last night. The eye Quad, Rouge Blush, and Lipstick.
That eyeshadow quad is LOVELY!!!!!
That eyeshadow quad is LOVELY!!!
Everything looks so gorgeous!! I ordered the quad and some things from the Fall Collection — can’t wait to get everything!
I’m in for both blushes!
I am intrigued *only* if that gorgeous shiny metal look to the shadows goes all the way through. Oversprays make me feel cheated. 🙁
I look forward to your reviews and swatches! 🙂
These are not oversprays. The beautiful shimmer goes all the way through.
Balls. Now I need it.
Does anyone know if counters in Canada are receiving this? I really shouldn’t buy anything from this collection, but it’s still tempting to check it out in person. Hah.
I think distribution is pretty small – online and perhaps boutiques?
I was told by a SA that maybe 50 counters will get it. I had to order online.
My friend in Canada bought it on Monday. She said she paid about 85? It came out in Canada b4 the US
Holt Renfrew in Vancouver definitely got it (I ordered mine from them through HR Calgary) and I imagine HR Bloor & Yonge got it as well!
That lipstick must be mine!
Where can I buy this as a custumer from Germany? Or is this LE U.S only? 🙁 The lipstick looks fabulous…
I normally love Chanel promo pictures but could those ‘brushes’ be any uglier? LOL
I thought there was a 24k gold liquid eyeliner coming out with this collection? Any word on that?
This is all the information I have, sorry!
I believe that’s part of the Holiday collection.
Thanks!
Hi Christine do you know when it will be release internationally? im from Japan thank you and more power!
I don’t 🙁 Hopefully soon!
you going to review this quad?
*jaw drops*
I want it all.
And there is nothing “subtle” about this new blush, it’s one dangerous in-your-face red! I’ve seen swatches and all the bloggers who swatched it point out that it’s extremely pigmented. But oh my, how beautiful it is!
I have ordered this whole collection. Can’t wait!
Awesome! I just got both blushes. Now I want the eyeshadow quad! These are the first blushes and now eyeshadow quad I’ve ever puchased from Chanel. They are such great quality that, hey, why not get them. Hehehe. So happy, and such a Chanel fiend now. 🙂
I got the lipstick, red blush and the eyeshadows yesterday. All are beautiful. However, the shadows are very small–about the diameter of a penny.
