@Sunnysmom I purchased both quads, the blush and 2/3 stylo contour sticks (not the black one)

i‘m quite happy with the blush; based on the colour I wasn’t expecting it to look nice on me until some of my summer colour had faded but I found it darkened a little on the skin.

i love quiet revolution (in theory) and i fell in love with that quad long before I realized it was part of an all matte release. I like the look I was able to create with it so far, but I’m not really a matte girl (definitely not an all matte girl) so I can’t see myself using the quad alone for a look. But pairing it with a satin or glitter shade, I would be quite happy.

clair obscur I’m less enthused by (see above, re: mattes) but I’m sure it will come in handy for transition shades. I found two of the shades ended up looking very similar on my lid, so overall it wasn’t distinct enough for me.

I’m really happy with the 2 stylo contour sticks, though. I liked the formula when I bought a few of the others from the earlier release and the matte version is just as good. I accidentally decapitated my contour clair so I’m not sure how much product is left but contour graphique was my fave of the 2 shades anyway.

@Mochapj yes I hear you on the quads. I always love the look but find I have to def blend w a satin to work best. I felt same on the Clair obscur at first and then I realized it really was so nice and subtle on esp w a red lip. I do appreciate that it isn’t your thing and you are also def much darker toned than I am. You look great in your vivid shades. I love the earlier release bronzey brown eye crayon also , can’t recall name - something brown lol. Good product. I didn’t try the blush tho looks good.  I usually do like the ease In applying and the look is so pretty. I need none but always want more. Not good. Lol

Lip products are from a matte collection, lion imprints are from the Holiday collection

[TraceyEB]

Great posts, @Mochapj! I'm loving the dark shades in the lion eyeshadows.

[Mochapj]

Those lip products appear to be part of this ‘Spirit’ collection; also some embossed eye singles

@Mochapjb, it’s sold out on their site!

[Mochapj]

@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.)
