A few more new quads; not sure what collection they are part of but they’re already on the Chanel website

Do you still see them on Chanel's website?  I really want Lueur Ardente but can't find it 😞 

[Mochapj]

@seaofcowards  I don't see them anymore, no. I'm not sure if I was on the CDN or US site at the time but it's possible they were put up early and taken down.

My SA said they weren't supposed to be launching until June, so I guess we'll see. If I see them again I'll tag you.

Thank you!

Cruise Collection and Les Beiges launching on May 3 at SDM in Canada. Les Beiges launch delayed due to some issue with the 10-pan palette. Also saw the May 3 date on Makeup & Beauty Blog's review of the Cruise Collection. Some thoughts on the Cruise collection: The bronzer and highlighter duo in Medium is sheer and can be built up to a point beyond which adding more might look ashy on my cheek, at least in store lighting. The highlighters have sparkles in them, especially in the Clair palette, more discernable in natural light than in store lighting. (Ordered both duos.) Also tried the eye glosses; they didn't look really glossy upon (rushed) application and within minutes, they absorbed the eye makeup I was wearing underneath. Over time, my mascara smudged above my crease and below my bare bottom lashes. The Chanel MUA had not been trained on the collection or glosses but suggested also applying the gloss to the centre of the lips. The gloss was not heavy and only mildly sticky. I remain intrigued, so added it to my pre-order, along with the e/s quad, 2 lipsticks, and a taupe-y silvery Stylo et Contour. (I'm back in the States before this launches, so have family members picking it for me; I'll get it June when I'm back.)

Apparently the entire blurry eye collection is already available on the Chanel website

@Mochapj, a Chanel MUA told me these palettes were Chanel's attempt to tailor eyeshadow quads to eye colour.

[Sunnysmom]

Such good info thanks @TraceyEB .  The new quads are intriguing to me! I did get the new Les Beige eye palette and am really liking it so far. But I’m so happy to see some new cool tones! 

[Mochapj]

@TraceyEB  interesting. The colour theory of it makes sense, I suppose.

everyone is tempting me with all these new powders!

[Ispend2much6]

@Kim888   Me too; I really want the lightest Healthy Glow Sheer Powder.

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB Yippee I see that too! Thank you! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, so excited to try the Water Fresh Tint foundation. It'll be in my hands tomorrow!!  Eeeeekkk!

[Sunnysmom]

What do you think @TraceyEB ?! I got mine too! It’s interesting isn’t it? I got medium light. Worried would be too ”dark” but seems ok! I don’t notice much. Maybe a slight blurring or evening out? I also got cranberry, fuschia and blackberry is it lip? Love em!! Goooood collection and of course so happy for these deeper more saturated red and berries! 🙄☺️

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, it really is an interesting product. It seemed to even my skintone without providing much coverage. I'm used to wearing medium coverage foundation everyday, so to see an even skintone with very little coverage was surprising to see and feel. The radiance upon application dried down to a sheen and a light tackiness remained. I used concealer and corrector, and lightly powdered. Later in the day I wanted to touch up one small area, and it worked well for that but where I needed coverage (noticeable redness on the tip of my nose), I reached for my lightest foundation stick and it all looked cohesive. Will use it for a few consecutive days to see if there is a benefit from this skincare+makeup product with continued use. Ah, science. I can see reaching for this when it's hot and humid. I can also see going through it quickly if I'm not too careful. I chose shade Light and think it's a good match (I'm usually N.10 in Chanel base products).

Thanks for your comment about the lip balms! I saw a video on Chanel direct where Lucia was featuring this collection and the lip balm looked so pigmented. I'll pick one up for sure!
