@Ispend2much6, thanks so much. I'm swooning over this eyeshadow palette!!

[itsfi]

Oh wow! The quad and eyeliner look marvelous on you @TraceyEB! One of my biggest reservations on that quad (apart from already having a solid mix of Chanel quads) was/is that black shade. I love how you've sheered it out to a gorgeous gunmental grey. Simply stunning! You are really selling the eye quad - it looks so beautifully wearable for an every day look and so dazzling!

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, thank you! I can't believe this quad gives two completely different looks. The black shade is a chameleon; it can be black, gunmetal grey, even silver-leaning with the shimmers over it. I added VB's Sea Grey eyeliner to the darker eye look and it becomes a vibrant blue...stunning (I added a pic to the collage to show the effect). Definitely a  palette worth checking out!

[itsfi]

Whoa!!! 😳 Thank you for sharing that photo @TraceyEB. Wowza, adding Sea Grey literally transforms that black shade and that entire look. It’s insanely gorgeous!! 😍😍😍

The combination of my eye size, lack of skill and patience makes black eye shadow look horrible on me, and using shadow as liner is one of those things for which I need to actually put in the time to make it work. But that blue is so striking!!! I may just pick up the quad. 😬 At the very least, it hit my radar  - I was not expecting to pick up anything from Chanel for a while. 

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, I am all those things you just described about applying black eyeshadow! The WG E1 blended the black beautifully to the desired level of pigmentation and took barely 5 minutes because that bottom right shade does the heavy lifting! I am out of town and don't have access to the range of eyeliners in my stash but I cannot wait to get back and play with this quad and liner shades. I literally was about to take my makeup off when I thought I would add some grey eyeliner to see if it would show up and, as you perfectly described it, wowza!! The blue has an ombre effect as you move past the liner (thanks to hooded eyelids) and it has reawakened the multi-coloured flecks. If I could sleep and not disturb this eye look, I'd keep it on!

[itsfi]

@TraceyEB, that ombre effect is mesmerizing. 😍 As someone who also has hoodeed eyes, I'm now even more intrigued. 

"If I could sleep and not disturb this eye look, I'd keep it on!"  Now you're talking! If only ... 

[Titian06]

Thank you, @TraceyEB , for these great swatches and eye looks!  It lookswonderful on you! 😍  I like this palette better than I thought I would.  I'll make my decision once it's available. 🙃

[TraceyEB]

@Titian06, thank you! It has taken me by surprise as well! I added VB's Sea Grey eyeliner to the darker eye look and wow...it becomes a vibrant blue (I added to the collage to show the effect). Definitely a palette worth checking out!

[Winthrop44]

@TraceyEB Thanks a lot for getting me reinterested in something I had decided to skip! 😜 It looks beautiful on you.  I even like the sound of the bottom right shade which I initially thought I wouldn't care for. Hmmmm

[TraceyEB]

@Winthrop44, you're welcome! 😊 My SA swatched the bottom right shade in a big circle on the back of her hand and the multi-coloured flecks looked stunning. It does settle down into a satin with flecks, so isn't a glitter explosion on your eyelid. I added VB's Sea Grey eyeliner just before I removed my makeup and it changed the look again as the eyeliner became a vibrant blue. I added that look above to show the "wow" effect.

[Winthrop44]

@TraceyEB Wow is right! The liner did incredible things for the look!

[Sunnysmom]

Ooh I love this on you @TraceyEB ! Thank you for showing us! This is definitely a must for me as well. 🤗

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, it's a surprise hit out of the ballpark for me. Two very different looks from one eyeshadow quad. I added another pic above after adding VB's Sea Grey eyeliner to the darker eye and it became a vibrant blue. Stunning!!! This is going to be a fun palette to have!

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you so much for showing us the swatches as well as how it applies. It is definitely gorgeous on you @TraceyEB . I will get this quad. 🌹❤️

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014, it will look gorgeous on you! Before I took my makeup off, I added VB's Sea Grey eyeliner and to my surprise, it became a vibrant blue. I'm swooning! That changed the look again! (See photo above.) Can't wait to play with this quad some more!

[TraceyEB]

Here is Chanel's display for the second collection that launched in Canada today - Les Nuits de Chanel. Includes:

Will post swatches of the Eclat de Nuit eyeshadow quad and Brun Plantine eyeliner tomorrow.

[Sunnysmom]

So pretty @TraceyEB thank you! Pretty display. I’m excited for you! 🥰

My local SA said they are waiting on this so it won’t be long for the US I guess! 

She also sent me this pic of the 3 new lip/cheek balm pot shades in Brick, Coral and Purple. She’s missing the purple tester of course. Lol. Soon.

I guess the coral is very sparkley. @blackkitty2014 @Titian06 @Winthrop44 @itsfi  fyi. 

Brick and CoralPurple

Ugh Chanel just when I said I’m on low buy @Sunnysmom  😂🤣

[Sunnysmom]

Same guys same! 😭 @blackkitty2014 @Titian06 We all have enough product to last us for who knows how long!! Ugh. 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

[Titian06]

@blackkitty2014 - I'm on a low/no buy too! 😱

[TraceyEB]

@Titian06 @blackkitty2014, me too...after this!! 😉
