It looks so good on you! I wanted this but was hesitant as I can't see it in store and would have to order it. I have super similar colouring. I may have to get this now!

[PavYellow]

Just checked it out, it looks so pretty on you! It ended up being really light for me, but I layer it over Vibration (a trick the SA taught me) and I like the effect!

[SheWhoSkis]

Thanks, PavYellow! I like the idea of layering it over Vibration. I imagine Vibration give a lovely pop, and Golden Sun tones it down a notch.

Pav I remember you mentioning the infiniment powder..how do you use it..I'm medium tan and not sure if it would worth picking up 

[PavYellow]

Hey Anewxa! I really like it - I use either the Real Techniques multi task brush or the Sephora Pro Airbrush blah blah brush, and dust it all over my face especially on my cheekbones and forehead - It adds a subtle glow and to my eyes smoothens my skin out, I think it works as a true finishing powder on me. It is one of those highlighter/finishing powders that I feel has been worth the price and I will get a lot of use out of. What I don't like is the fragrance - which is applicable to all of Chanel's products. I don't see why blushers and highlighters should contain fragrance at all! But that's just a personal gripe.

I love that first blush!  Those types of shades are always my favorites!

[Vineetha]

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!!

[PavYellow]

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.

[SheWhoSkis]

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. 

[vchotia]

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...

[lachaton]

Check Spektra, they have some in the Chanel subforum 🙂

[AnneMCC]

ok!

[mrstrish]

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.
