The eye shadow quad looks gorgeous! Love the look on the model, the outfit more than the makeup though!
It’s gorgeous! Especially that gilded camellia.
OMG that eyeshadow quad *DED DED DED*
Love the nail polish!!
I just love this collection and I’m going to purchase the JC blush, the loose powder, the quad, the lipstick and nail polish. It’s my favourite Holiday 2012 collection along with Dior Grand Bal and to a lesser extent the Two Faced, M.A.C, Nars and also Clarins collections.
That lipstick is beautiful! I think it would suit my very fair cool-tooned skin. I cant wait!
I’m sooo looking forward to this collection. I find it hard to pass any Chanel makeup collection these days. This one will be available around my birthday so I’m very excited. 🙂
that NAILPOLISH! What a showstopper!!
after staring at the promo pic some more I have to add… that EYESHADOW QUAD! OMG THE BLUSH! And DANNGG WHAT A LIPSTICK!
haha, it’s been a long time since I’ve wanted practically every item out of a collection, I’m going to have a field day with this one!
I need that lipstick like yesterday. Possibly the lipglosses too.
Missed the detail on the quads! Though Chanel Europe… /side-eye
I cannot wait for the eyeshadow quad. If it’s anything like the Topkapi quad, I’m going to be fantastic!
Oops, “it’s,” not “I’m.” 🙂
This is exactly how I feel lol! That quad looks so tempting!
The lipstick <3
Omg totally in love with that lipstick! That’s exactly the colour I was looking for but I wonder how it will swatch… Lovely collection nevertheless :))
This is beautiful. Loving the nail polish and the lipstick.
Ugh, this all looks so beautiful. Will you be reviewing any of the pieces? Because my wallet really needs it.. LOL.
The photography is beautiful! Personally, I’ll pass on the products – but I have a feeling this collection will be a big hit
That quad will be mine. Oh. YES. It will be mine.
c’mon swatches!!!
I want the lipstick and the quad. I can’t wait for it to launch. The model looks like she might be a NC20-25 which is what I am and I think the lipstick will be smashing. Yeah, I think I can pull the look off.
The eyeshadow quad and lipstick look super pretty.
I would love to know how this joues contraste compares with Narcisse. The quad is very pretty, but I do not seem to have a lot of success with Chanel quads although I would eventually love to get my hands on Topkapi. Topkapi seemed to be a little more dramatic than their usual muted shades which are too muted for my tastes the majority of time. I like the looks of the matte lip and the dark blood red nail enamel.
This couldn’t be more my style if they’d stamped my photo on the packaging. WOW.
I want it alllll. But I want to see how pigmented the Glossimers are because I may want two or three of them, and I want the blush, and I’m on the fence about the lipstick…I think I’d be too self-conscious to wear it!
WOW! I LOVE EVERYTHING!
are you going to be reviewing this????
I bought Topkapi- it is amazing. I must have these eyeshadows!!
I am going to be so broke come october. I love fall/winter makeup and all the vampy colors that come along with it. That nail polish looks amazing!!
The quad, Christine…THE QUAD.
OMG Yes the QUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED to have that one. and the lipstick!
Though I loved the Fall 2012 collection, I’ll be leaving this one. The quad is too shiny, the lipstick is too dark and I already have two blushes.
I saw this and immediately called my counter to reserve the quad and the Illusion d’Ombre. Gorgeous.
My goodness. Unless the formula of the quad is horrendous (which I doubt it will be), I am soooooo getting the quad!
The matte lipstick is so pretty, the prefect fall color.i wanna see swatches of the glossimers, and the eyeshadows in the quad look pretty but dupeable, but lets not judge a book by its cover.
OMG, the quad!!! I just fell in love. I’ll have to call at my local counter to ask when this comes out in Germany, and reserve it. This would be perfect for holiday makeup looks.
*GASP* Beautiful!! Another winner from Chanel
I can´t wait to see the reviews and swatches because this collection really appeals to me. I love that dark lipstick, hopefully it looks as good as it sounds.
Like almost everyone else, I’m eager to see if you do a review, Christine. I know some of Chanel’s quads have been disappointing, especially considering the price point (poor pigmentation and not unique enough to justify the cost). I’m also concerned, personally, that 2 of the shadows might be too red-toned for me (I struggle with Ebloui, as an indication of how careful I have to be with anything red around the eyes). Gorgeous looking collection, though!
Do you have a photo of the Illusion d’ombre?
I don’t!
Oh I’m in trouble…or rather, my wallet is 🙂
Be still my wallet….
I can’t wait to see what that lipstick looks like. I’m loving the way it looks in the bullet, but it looks more berry than red on the model’s lips. I sincerely hope that that is not a accurate representation of the lipstick because yay a vampy red that does not lean plum or berry! I wish there was a picture of the new Illusion d’Ombre! I heart that gold camellia on the model.
L’Impatiente Deep red-black Le Vernis / Nail Colour
Malice Deep red-black
twose twoo look stunning
I love everything about these promo pics! The model looks gorgeous.
As beautiful as this collection looks, I can’t personally justify any of these products at this pricepoint. Perhaps if I didn’t have such a large stash already, were a big fan of Chanel, or didn’t already still have a few items on my “wish list”, I would take a look at the quad, polish, & matte lipstick (all of which ar “me” shades, so I likely have similar already). Perhaps if Christine does reviews/swatches, my mind *can* change.
One word: Stunning.. So excited for Allegorie!! I hope it is close to Mica with more shimmer
That blush is absolutely amazing. I’m going to have to have it for sure.
Does anyone know if the loose powder is going to be a color like, the Powder Universal in Peche?
I’m liking the lipstick.
I am really loving the Malice Nail Polish. I hope it’s amazing and not to much like Vamp!!!
That blush reminds me of Mac’s Warm Soul…one of my favorites! Maybe a bit lighter?? Definitely want to see swatches and a review of that one. Also the powder. Not really understanding the concept. :/
I’m a sucker for Chanel quads so this one will be mine. That nail polish is stunning!! It may make it home with me and the quad, too. I wish I could pull off dark lipsticks like the model. It looks amazing on her. Must resist the urge for yet another lipgloss! My current collection is absolutely ridiculous!! 😛
I’m dying over the lipstick and quad, just gorgeous, I just don’t think I’d personally get enough use out of those colors here in Florida to justify the price, like every time I see a beautiful wool coat I want but know I’ll maybe wear once a year, I guess I’ll have to just enjoy the pictures.
The collection is amazing but I think that I must read more reviews about it to convince me of buying these products since they really cost a lot. I wish that you give us reviews on these products, Christine…pleeeasssee.
This looks delish… CHANEL recently changed the formula for their eyeshadow quads. NOT what they used to be. Very disappointed, if enough people complain I’m hoping they will change it back to what it used to be. I was a Chanel junkie… now I will stick to the lipsticks and glosses because I do find them superior to most brands.
If that quad has similar color payoff as Topkapi…I’m buying my first Chanel quad. I missed out on that one and regretted it since.
Thanks for the review. Could you recomend a lipstick to match the nailpolish? I didn’t find the lipstick in this collection to match it for medium skintones.
Bought the eyeshadow quad today! In love!!
I thought this collection would include the blush “notorious”!?!? I really want this grey-taupe blush shade!!! when does it come out in Europe?
Hi Christine,
1st off I wanna thank you for replying to a previous question; i have yet to try the bobbi brown high shimmer gloss (been busy with exams)
anyways, I have a question on Rouge Coco Shines – are you able to compare them to the YSL rouge volupte? I was wondering which one you think is better?
I have 2 rouge coco shines (Romance and Sari d’eau) and I like them a lot but before I go buy some more, I wanna know your opinion on YSL’s rouge volupte if they are better
The two formulas are very, very different – Rouge Coco Shines are sheer, lightweight; YSL Rouge Voluptes are opaque, very creamy, heavier.
