@TraceyEB Same here!  That matte palette is quite possibly my all time favorite Chanel product.  💗

[TraceyEB]

Mine, too!! Between Chanel's No 1 Rouge palette and Tom Ford's Eye and Cheek palette in Warm, I feel very spoiled.

The Eclatants eye quad looks to be my kind of colors but I am going to good and resist.

[Asche]

I'm also loving that one (along with the Tweed Coralline blush). I've bought so many things from Chanel lately that I shouldn't even be considering these....but they're just so pretty!

The new Energies collection is up in Canada on the Bay's website

So just wanted to update on my camelia situation. I was one of the people that had a problem with an empty box being sent (at least that was the UPS status). They actually did resend it once they got more in stock (or maybe they had some reserved), so everything worked out in the end. 🙂 I had spoken with several representatives on the phone, so I'm happy someone was able to help me out.

[Winthrop44]

I had the same outcome. One of the CS folks on the phone was very helpful.

[Tamara76]

Yay!  I am so glad it worked out for you!   The empty box was a bummer!  😞

@Tamara76 Thanks so much! 🙂

[PrettyPaint]

That's great!

Review of Chanel Camelia highlighter is up on Beautylookbook's website. A very informative read.

@TraceyEB   I love this highlighter! 

It is very sparkly, but that is why I love it. It feels creamy too, not dry. HMM. 

I think if you have texture issues and or don't like a strong hl, it is a skip. But it is gorgeous!!!  

I think on deeper skin tones the glitter comes out more. 🙂

[TraceyEB]

Thanks sooo much for your observations, @luvgloss13! Great to hear that it's creamy and bright (and that you don't find it too glittery). It is a beautiful highlighter, for sure!!

[luvgloss13]

@TraceyEB . YW 🙂

I think makeup, like shoes is soooo YMMV.

I wish people could swatch and try it for themselves and not rely on Chanel direct and not being able to return if they hate it. 

 I also disliked the tweed blushes, they were hard and stiff with very poor color pay off. But I am sure someone loves them. lol

[TraceyEB]

Have you tried the tweed blushes that are part of the new collection?

[luvgloss13]

@TraceyEB Yes. I had them all and purged them. Unless they reformulated, they are an easy skipf or me. 

The best one was Tweed Fuchsia.

I love Joues Contrast though, lovely blushes  ! 

[TraceyEB]

Hi @luvgloss13,did you try the blushes from the 2017 Chanel collection, Chanel Energies et Puretes? I was hoping under Lucia Pica, the pigmentation would be really good.

[Tamara76]

I love these blushes so much!!!!!

[AshleyYVR]

Love the look of those blushes! The woven effect is so pretty. Sad to hear the pigmentation isn't great, I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they've reformulated and improved at all.

[Mochapj]

I've tried mine out a few times since last week and I do agree with her assessment of the 'shimmer'/'microglitter' however, with a few caveats.

1) I find that after a bit of time on the skin the glittery particles aren't as obvious. It's not that it's wearing off quickly but that they seem to mesh more with the skin (YMMV depending on your skintone, though)

2) Even with it having the little glitters, I never found it emphasized pores, which IMO is impressive

That said, mine was a gift, not a purchase so I might've felt differently if I'd purchased it with my own money.  

[luvgloss13]

@Mochapj I agree! It doesn't emphasize pores at all and to me is very smooth and not chunky. 

Mine was a gift and I purchase another for a gift and one for a back up! lol
