No @efficacyjunkie it will be available in US/ CA end of Feb/ March according to my SA in the boutique. 😊 Looks very springy and fresh!

If anyone hasn't yet picked up the Mediterranean palette, it's currently available at Macy's. It seems to be OOS everywhere else.

Just an update on the Tweed collection; I can't verify for the US but I've been told by my contact for Canada that it will be launching here in April.

So long to wait! 😫

[Sunnysmom]

Wow @Mochapj that is a long time to wait! Ugh. I hope the mid Feb timing is still correct for the new Camelia  powder! Do you have any intel on that? I keep forgetting to ask my SA. Even tho I’m not a big powder fan once they say “illuminating” I’m in. 😆

[Mochapj]

@Sunnysmom the last time I asked about it a few weeks ago I was told February. I haven’t heard anything about that being delayed at all.

[Sunnysmom]

Excellent @Mochapj , thank you. 🥰

My Chanel order arrived! Brun Roussi is a very wearable, luminous terracotta that can be applied carefully and built up with a fluffy brush, or applied with a more dense brush to increase the  pigmentation. It blends beautifully and I did not find that I could over-apply it. I thought of Tom Ford's Savage for a comparison - Brun Roussi is definitely a rosier cousin. Savage is also considerably more pigmented, being a powdery formula. Despite its bronzey coral appearance, the Baume Essentiel in Ensoleille is an irridescent pink with gold micro-glitters, which are hard to capture. It compliments Brun Roussi beautifully.The quad is lovely, especially when worn with a cream or liquid base that can enhance the lighter shades. I swoon over the khaki shade. Photos with me wearing the products are in the spoiler tag.

On my cheek in the top photo is the blush only (my @blackkitty2014 inspired photo); bottom photo is the blush with baume essentiel on the apples of the cheek. Also wearing the Mediterraneen quad. (For those curious about Charlotte Tilbury's new Beautiful Skin foundation, I'm wearing it in these photos.)

@TraceyEB it looks beautiful on you!

@TraceyEB  I was going to ask about your face products; you're a great advertisement for CT's new foundation!

I would have never guessed the baume and blush would be so subtle; I like them.

[TraceyEB]

@Ispend2much6, The Chanel blush and highlighter can be as light or as pronounced as you prefer. I used a super fluffy brush to build up the blush in these photos. The Baume Essential has little gold sparkles and looks stunning in sunlight. Throw in a bronzer and this could have been a summer collection! CT's new foundation is really neat. It seems to blur and even out skintone without hiding one's skin. I did get colour matched at Sephora as the shades are a little different compared to the Flawless Filter Foundation, which I love. I'll show that on the CT group.

@TraceyEB Eye look is gorgeous, that palette looks like it could be an everyday go to for so many people.  And the cheek suits you so nicely... .but dang, your skin looks amazing and what is your lip??? Gorgeous look. 

[TraceyEB]

@missjeanie, I'm blushing at the compliments; that's very kind of you to say. The lipstick is Bobbi Brown Luxe Shine Intense Lipstick in the shade Claret (described as a burnt red but looks more terracotta on me); the formula is very hydrating. BB direct is having a 25% off sale, and this shade comes in LNY packaging or the regular gold packaging.

[missjeanie]

@TraceyEB I really should take a gander while there's a sale! lol. Seriously looks great!

[TraceyEB]

@missjeanie, thank you! I like BB's Luxe Shine Intense lipsticks, and especially so when they're on sale! 😂

[missjeanie]

@TraceyEB It's probably been 5 - 10 years since I've tried any of their lipsticks so it's probably time I check out the range.  I just get distracted by so many lip products of late that theirs haven't been on my radar.  Mayyyyybe we'll see what all they have going on.

[TraceyEB]

@missjeanie, I hear you about the abundance of lip products. I keep close tabs on BB and could open my own counter with what I have. 🤣 Enjoy perusing the sale!

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB these are just so flattering and beautiful on you! 💞Thanks for showing us your new goodies! Agree on the khaki shade too! Wish it was a single! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, thank you so much! The pieces are flattering and easy to wear. I feel I'll be wearing this a lot in the summer! I wish the khaki was a single, too, it's gorgeous!

[Sunnysmom]

Glad you also like the new CT foundation @TraceyEB . I find it easy and comfortable to wear as well and so wasn’t sure if I thought it would be too much coverage but it’s not. I like that you can still see your skin through it and it seems to get prettier throughout the day. My color match was also different from other CT ones but it worked well. @Ispend2much6 you may want to try it. ( I love the new Nars light reflecting as you do too. So pretty. Tracey did you try that one as well? The year of the face?! Lol )

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  I want to try it.  Hoping for a sample sometime soon.  I keep wanting makeup to have the effect of plastic surgery on me but sadly it's not happening. 😂

You look Beautiful! What a wonderful color on you, thanks for the review and swat! @TraceyEB
