That purple quad is pretty. What’s with Chanel and all their holiday collections featuring pink eyeshadow. All these quads feature some variation of pink, and even their Harmonie du Soir quad had a pink shade too.

Did they say whether the new Illusion d’Ombre’s were being added to the permanent line?

this collection had launched in Asia in August/September. Variation and Intuition quads are nice when I swatched them but i suppose the US baked formula is even more pigmented!

Actually is the opposite, the baked versions are not as nice, and it sucks specially because those are only ones we get where I live. Funny enough, we do get the european version of the duos!

Variation calls my name. Of course, if I get it, it will be the European version (we already have it here in France, and it actually seems of pretty good quality), but I’d still be quite curious to read your opinion on it Christine, if you happen to review it.

Christine, in Spain we got this collection in August. How could that be possible?. I have got Vision and Abstraction with me, and I must say Vision is amazing, but I don’t find it as workable as other Illusion D’Ombre that I own. Abstraction is way much more manageable than Vision, as i find this one to flake a lot… Do you know if the Notorious powder will arrive to counters in Europe?.

Variation looks tempting, love my purples. I find myself reaching for my Chanel eclosion quad almost every day so I might be able to justify getting another if it’s something I think I’ll wear often.

I have vision and abstraction and love them both!!! Vision is not an everyday kind of thing but its a thing of beauty none
theless. The gold sparkle is so clear and shiny and gorgeous. I am in love with it!!!

I’m slightly confused along with other people, I’m in Australia and we’ve already had Abstraction and Vision! Vision was so popular, everytime I know its in stock somewhere I buy another one! I’m IN LOVE with it! And I’ve been trying to come up with a dupe for a while now but with no luck – it’s just one of a kind!

ZOMG, you have got to try Chanel Le Volume de Chanel mascara! It is my HG of mascaras! The curl, volume and length of my lashes have never been this awesome before!
