I picked up all the three last weekend. The blushes are gorgeous! If you can overlook the pretty embossing the powder is just okay! I got it just because of how pretty it looks.:) As a highlighter is is quite subtle and the finish isnt that glowy or highlighter like. But it works as a good finishing powder. I am using it that way and i like it! The Blushes are super pretty and if you love JC's you need these!!

Hey Vineetha! I'm about an NC 42 - NC 44, do you think the highlighting powder will look ashy on me? I have that issue with the Hourglass ambient lighting powders. 😞

[Vineetha]

Hii! You know I think a light dusting would actually work. I dont see a strong white chalky base to it since its almost beige toned and focusing on the peach embossing gives almost a light peachy tone to it! But then again its talc based so i cannot be 100% sure about it!! Is there a chance you have a macys or nordstrom counter close by? If you could, checking it out in person would be the best way to go . Most counters seem to have received the collection!! hth

This is good news all around.  I would like a finishing powder that adds a very slight glow, and I am hoping Golden Sun will give me a little extra "healthy color," since my coloring is difficult to match foundation-wise.  The correct color is always just a little too light, and the slightly darker colors are too yellow.  This is true across the board for many brands.  So frustrating.

Golden Sun has already been released, and I bought it a few weeks ago. It is amazing, and it give a healthy glow that works well on me. I've seen it at Nordstrom and Dillards.

Golden Sun looks pretty. Is it a lighter shimmer or more bronzey? I'm having trouble finding swatches.

[Vineetha]

GS Swatches almost a light mauvey bronze shade on me but it goes substantially darker than how it looks in the pan or swatches. Meaning it has good color payoff! Its a gorgeous shade and not similar to alezane from fall!!

[vchotia]

Sounds beautiful! Adding to my Nordstrom cart!

[lachaton]

I saw some swatches of Golden Sun a little while ago... it's a beauty!

[AnneMCC]

Gotta go see swatches of this! Waiting for Nordstrom Trend show to do a mini Chanel haul...

Check Spektra, they have some in the Chanel subforum 🙂

[AnneMCC]

ok!

Hi y'all! I just found out about this thread. I love Chanel! Will start reading through the tread. There is another thread about the le Blanc primer also, which is where I came from. I don't know anything much about Tom ford yet, except his perfume I have yet to try his makeup. I like his perfume, especially Neroli Portofino. Anyway, back to Chanel!

[AnneMCC]

I love Neroli Portofino too 🙂 I started this thread because I love everything Chanel..Welcome! This one is not as active as the Tom Ford Updates thread, that one is a major enabler LOL

[Sonny4President]

I must say, Chanel hasn't been the same without Peter. 😞

I don't really anticipate much for Chanel's released, not sure even sure how much say he has at Dior now, cause I don't anticipate either...

I hope the swatches on some of these released will be better than in picture.

So the previews for Chanel's Holiday 2015 Collection has been spotted on Specktra.Here are some pics

What is the best Chanel lipstick? I bought a Rogue Coco and it doesn't stay on for more than an hour. But I do love the way it feels. 

[Tamara76]

I adsolutely adore the Rouge Allure Velvet formula - long lasting, but not too drying.  L'Amoureuse is my favorite!

[AnneMCC]

Yes, I feel your pain regarding the Rouge Coco Shine-I constantly apply mine because it doesn't stay on, but it looks pretty. I'm a gloss/glossy gal so I actually like the Rouge Allure gloss..

[Ispend2much6]

I bought several of the pieces from the Fall 2015 collection, and I can't believe how much I love them all! (Why am I surprised?)

That's one thing that I really love about Chanel.  I look at their products and think, "That will never work on me," and voila, it does!

The blush, Alezane, works for me as a healthy, outdoorsy look.  It could probably work as a bronzer for me if I apply it lightly enough.  It looked a little too sparkly on my forehead (visible sparkles while looking in the bathroom mirror, so you know they would be extreme if I were outside,) but they weren't as noticeable on my cheeks.

The Rouge Coco Shine Temeraire, was beautiful, with enough brown to make the red wearable.  It packs a lot of pigment; it was almost too much for me.  Melancolie is a nice, everyday shade.

Rouge Allure in Pensive may be my favorite of the bunch.  It's a great nude, and I'll bet it will work for a lot of people.

The Illusion Ombre Velvet Fleur de Pierre is the dark, cool gray I've been looking for for a long time!  I am so excited.  No visible sparkles.  It pairs beautifully with the Stylo Yeux in Feuilles.  The Stylo Yeux in Pomme de Pin  is a black-brown.  It's okay; I wish it was a little more intense.

I should mention I am a Color IQ of 1R05.  MUFE's Ultra HD foundation in R260, Pink Beige, matches me perfectly.  That's why I'm stunned that these colors look so great on me.

[Libellules]

I'm glad to hear about the illusion d'ombre! I've been eyeing (no pun intended) the 2 new colors and 1 re-release 🙂
