@blackkitty2014, the lipstick looks stunning on you as does this whole look!! Love it!! 😍

[Titian06]

Very pretty, @blackkitty2014 ! 🥰

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @Titian06 🌹

I didn't think I wanted 827 until now that is, @blackkitty2014! It looks beautiful on you! 😍

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @itsfi . I think this lipstick and the green nail polish are the stars of the collection. I don’t wear nail polish but have to admire how beautiful it is

[itsfi]

@blackkitty2014, the olive green polish is a beauty. 😍 I considered the gold topper; it looks like it would be great over the nude polishes I picked up from them but decided (at least for now) that I don’t need another polish. 💅🏼 

[blackkitty2014]

Ohh all good @itsfi 👍.I wish I know how to paint my nail. Those are beauties 😘

Sofia See Beauty has an in-depth video on the Chanel holiday release including showing the body oil and gel and comparisons for the quad and oversized highlighters (some of which are below).

Ok. This is the end of this dilemma for me @TraceyEB @ChristalM @niki172 @Winthrop44 @blackkitty2014 🤣. This is truly how the eye quad appears to me and was towards natural light. I love the burnt brown shade but the others are very gold and coppery. I think Tweed Cuivre is more wearable in my opinion and at least for me and as TraceyEB says there are other workable options. ☺️ For those loving more golden it’s great and I’m sure lovely for holidays too. ( Personally if I were to choose I’d go to the new Dior palettes! 🤷🏻‍♀️) The lips are still very pretty especially the Allure Laques.   @itsfi  I know you did the lippie, did you also do the eye quad or too warm?

 

 

[Winthrop44]

@Sunnysmom Thanks for the beautiful swatches. I think it would just look too orangey on my skin.  Not complaining, money saved.

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @Winthrop44 , phew money saved ! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, it's sooo much better to see your swatches and perceptive description of the quad shades. The burnt brown is a beautiful shade. The coppery orange  shades are tricky for me to wear, so I will approximate with the Tweed Cuivre as you suggested and my CT options. The eyelook that HeyItsJackeline did on her Chanel gift sets video is probably the nicest I've seen using the palette. She applied two shades from the quad and used one of the highlighters for a pop in the centre. Stunning! Did you purchase any of the lip  products?

[Sunnysmom]

Glad if it helped @TraceyEB tho I wished it was less coppery too. We can live without! I bet she did a beautiful look, I’ll have to check it out. She really always kills it doesn’t she. I know Cuivre is so good on you!  I only got the 89 lip laque ombré. It’s got prettiest shimmer effect , I’ll have to swatch it. Oh also one of the Chanel SAs told me the US isn’t getting the tweed blush! What!! Will you get it in Canada? Have you heard this?! Noooooo. 😢 Hope not true! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, I have not heard that the US isn't getting the tweed blushes. Yikes!! I'll ask my SA in Canada when I'm there next month. She told me there were no tweed blushes in the training they received on releases to the end of the year. Yes, please swatch of the Laque 89; it's on my maybe list.

[Titian06]

@Sunnysmom - This palette has not been on my list.  However, I'm glad the colors are not the super gold shades many of the swatches, including your SA, appeared to be.  These colors are very pretty if I were feeling the love. 💔  Thanks for sharing!

[Sunnysmom]

Same @Titian06 , seems like it’s somewhere in between super gold and more subdued as in some swatches. Great for some I’m sure, just glad I can have some will power ! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[niki172]

Just watched a couple of the YT videos and the only thing that's really catching my eye is Brun Lunaire lippie - I don't know if I should be happy that it saves my wallet or not lol.

[TraceyEB]

@niki172, that lipstick caught my eye as well! I'm not feeling this collection but the gift sets have caught my eye this year.

[ChristalM]

@niki172 HAHA same. I was originally thinking the eye palette as well but I think ow it is a skip. But yes Brun Lunaire will be mine! LOl

[Sunnysmom]

I love her @TraceyEB , she’s so fun. I was so surprised to see swatches from my SA that look soooo gold. It changed my mind about the eye quad sadly. Beautiful for a shiny holiday look for sure tho! I agree with a bunch of these guys reviewing them who say it looked very different from photos that were released! I think I’m just trying one of the liquid lips and the Or Rose highlighter. You? The oil looks really cool @blackkitty2014 ! 

Edit to add my SA’s paw swatch of the eye quad. 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, the term "paw swatch" had me in tears. 🤣 Your SA swatches look like an entirely different eyeshadow palette! I can closely dupe the quad with CT's Queen of Glow and Icons palettes and OR Rose via Bobbi Brown LE highlighters and I suspect the new Copper Glow would be close to Cuivre Dore. My best match to Cuivre Dore is a Wayne Goss blush/highlighter duo in Bright Peony, which only works on me when the copper highlighter is mixed with the raspberry blush, a trick Wayne showed. Also, part of me just doesn't want an oversized highlighter. That gigantic holiday CT Hollywood Glow highlighter was 11.5 oz and Chanel's is 15/16g. The oil/gel look tempting but I think I'll pick up a lipstick and save for tweed blushes.
