@TraceyEB the pigmentation on those is gorgeous.

[TraceyEB]

Aren't they! I have the Mystere palette in my sights, @eshoe.

Michele Wang has posted a first impressions video of the collection. She tries on the Rouge Noir Ombre et Coutour Stylo and the Mystere et Intensite quad (that magenta shade!!).Michele Wang's swatches of Mystere et Intensite quad

I have my eyes 👀 on that quad @TraceyEB. I’m waiting for more reviews on it

[Mochapj]

@TraceyEB I watched it yesterday and I can't tell if it's just her lighting or if the Chanel promo photos are really off but the magenta quad looked more burgundy than raspberry. 😞

[TraceyEB]

@Mochapj, it did, didn't it. Do you have application advice for the ombre et contour stylos?

[Mochapj]

@TraceyEB I didn't purchase the one she used in the video, but the 2 I have (Bleu Nuit and Electric Brown) haven't been difficult to work with at all. 

If anything, I've found them extremely smooth and easy to both apply and blend. So far whether I've used them as an all over lid base, eyeliner or just to darken my outer v, I just colour them on and use a fluffy brush to diffuse or smudge the edges. I haven't had any trouble with blending like she was showing with Rouge Noir.

I have found that once they set, they are there for good. At my makeover on the weekend I had used the brown one on my lid and lower lashline and it took a LOT or remover to finally get it to come off (without the aid of water, that is)

Thx so much @Mochapj for the review. I might have to pick up Blue Nuit and Electric Brown. I was just saying no more makeup so I can save for a Hawaii trip lol 😂 

[TraceyEB]

@Mochapj, your observations and techniques are super helpful, as usual! Thanks also for posting a pic with the Electric Brown swatch included. Such gorgeous shades in this collection.

@TraceyEB, @Sunnysmom, @Mochapj, Michele Wang just posted her haul on the Eye Collection. Some of them @Mochapj already got and swatched for us. I want to wait flor the purple pink quad to come to Neiman Marcus. We’ll see how long I can resist ordering from Chanel direct. 😂

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014, I just saw  your note now. I'm trying to resist ordering the quad she featured; it looks nicely pigmented overall.

[Sunnysmom]

@blackkitty2014 Same! Thanks I’ll look! 

[TraceyEB]

I spoke with a MUA at the Chanel counter in NM in Chicago. He told me that the Eyes Collection 2018 will be out on the counter by July 9 although he suggested it might be earlier. He confirmed all the products that we have seen posted here and on Chanel direct (the 4 ombres et contour sticks, the 2 cream shadow pots, 2 eyeshadow singles, the 2 quads, and new mascara and eyeshadow bases). 

Tagging @Sunnysmom @Mochapj

[Mochapj]

Thanks Tracey. I wish Canada was getting it sooner but the info I got came from Chanel corporate so I guess not 😞

[TraceyEB]

Me, too, @Mochapj. I don't know why the deviation from the European release schedule.

[Sunnysmom]

@TraceyEB Thank you so very much for such good info, very helpful! Can’t wait to try some! Ps love Chicago, my birthplace where I grew up! 😊

[TraceyEB]

What a small world, @Sunnysmom! I'm a few hours from Chicago but enjoy it whenever I get there!

[Sunnysmom]

Love it @TraceyEB! Lucky you! I need a fix! Pizza!! Lol. Xx

[Mochapj]

Coming back to update about the pieces I posted from the Eyes collection.

Firstly, I heard from my SA that this collection isn't launching in Canada until September.

Secondly, I tried the Stylo Ombre et Contour (Bleu Nuit) today as well as the blue (Bleu Selene) and green (Vert Metal) Ombre Premiere shadows. The Stylo Ombre et Contour is very soft; it feels like a chubby version of an eye kohl. Because of how creamy it was I worried it wouldn't last but I applied it to the outer third of my eye and smudged it, as well as lining my lower lashline with it and it stayed intact all day.  The Vert Metal shade is very creamy, to the point that it felt wet when I dabbed my finger into the pot. Bleu Selene is a nice powder, though it looks a lot darker on the eyes than I was expecting from the pan.

@Mochapj, on Friday, I spoke with a rep at the Chanel counter at Holt Refrew on Bloor St. (TO) and was told that the collection was launching Sept. 4, though she said it could be the end of August.
