@eshoe I believe it’s permanent so I’m sure it will be back

[blackkitty2014]

@Mochapj, why must you do this to me!!! I'm about to skip the quad until i see this. I'm reconsidering now 🙂 Hm.. i think i like the Splendeur Et Audace more

[Ispend2much6]

I'm wondering if anyone has seen the Joues Contraste Blush #440 in Quintessence in real life?  Online it appears to be a bright cool pink, other places it appears to be more of a coral pink.  Thank you!

[TraceyEB]

Hi @Ispend2much6, on IG, thepaintedapron has posted a photo of the blush with swatches coming soon. I'm interested in seeing them, too!

[Ispend2much6]

@TraceyEB  Thank you so, so much!  It looks like a very unique color.

[Winthrop44]

I haven’t seen it irl but to add to the confusion Chanel online told me it’s a pale rosy pink.

[Ispend2much6]

@Winthrop44  Thank you for answering my question.  I hope it is that type of shade!

[Mochapj]

Looks like the Le Mat Apotheosis de Chanel collection (new blush 440, Quiet Revolution 312 and Clair Obscur 308 quad, plus Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue) has launched already on Chanel direct. There also appear to be 3 new shades of the Stylo Ombre et Contour already.

I'm told in Canada it's hitting counters in August, but perhaps US will get it sooner.

[TraceyEB]

Chanel direct lists all shades of the Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue as new. Perhaps a reformulation? (I own a rose shade that wears beautifully though other shades did not look that great on me.)

[Mochapj]

Another new quad for fall - Clair Obscur

[TraceyEB]

I adore the shades in this palette. Love matte shadows.

[Mochapj]

Mystere et Intensite

[lachaton]

Wow, such a beautiful quad! That's a really great mix of shades that are very complimentary, I can see this being a great palette to use together. (Especially while travelling.)

Thanks for sharing, @Mochapj!

[blackkitty2014]

Did you get it @Mochapj? Is it love? I’m still waiting for it to come to Neiman so I can use my GC

[Mochapj]

I did @blackkitty2014 - that's my arm 😄

I really quite like this one a lot. I was a bit worried when I saw the first swatches coming out because it looked sort of more red/burgundy but I'm happy that on my skintone it's more of a raspberry shade. The colour combo is beautiful and quite wearable, IMO.

[TraceyEB]

Below are swatches of High Profile (champagne gold), Nude Eclat (peachy gold) and Bleu Nuit, along with comparators.

Top to bottom: High Profile, Nude Eclat, Bleu Nuit

Swatches top to bottom: Chanel Bronze Antique, Bronze from 9-pan Neapolis palette, High Profile, Verderame, Bleu Nuit

Swatches with flash: Verderame (top) and Bleu Nuit (bottom) as they look on me when worn.

Tagging @Sunnysmom, @Mochapj, @curlychiquita

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @TraceyEB! Wow the Blue pencil is way more teal than I had hoped. I was surprised. But yes as @Mochapj says more money saved for next stuff! 

[Mochapj]

Thanks Tracey! I think you’ve effectively disabled my desire to purchase High Profile

[TraceyEB]

You're welcome, @Mochapj?!? High Profile does deepen slightly after its applied but it's still quite light and easily dupable. I'm not sure I would have taken it if I saw it at the counter. I wonder if I could do a smoky gold eye given the bronze and gold shades I've collected recently. 😊

[Mochapj]

@TraceyEB That’s it exactly, it seems quite dupeable and I have problems wearing that are too pale.

i’d been hoping it would be something similar to last summer’s neon wave collection, which had such interesting shifts to their metallic shades but this one looks pretty straightforward.

oh well, more money saved towards that pretty Mystere et Intensite quad 😊

[TraceyEB]

Yes, @Mochapj, more $ for the Mystere quad. Saw Temptalia reviewed it today. I'm not discouraged.
