Hi all! I'm new to Spektra but have been following the Chanel threads for quite some time I am so excited for this collection, mostly because of the shimmering beiges and bronzes. The corals look pretty but might be too orange for me; I'll have to see them in person. I keep trolling chanel.com and the department store websites to see if it has popped up yet ... I just found most of the items (not the bronzers) online at nordstrom.com with a ship date of 4/27. I hope it's in stores sooner than that!

I am hoping that either the Calypso Glossimer or the En Vogue RCS will work out. I love the nail polishes in Island and Delight but the photos of Holiday look almost like a straight up orange as opposed to coral orange:

I am probably about an NC15 and a B10 in Chanel, and I find that sometimes oranges make me look sickly. The woman in the third link is pretty fair though and it looks good on her, so maybe it will work for me. It will look amazing with darker skin tones, for sure!

Hi,

Pretty swatches, thanks for posting !

 

[Bonitinha]

I really love Lovecloud from the tres cheek MAC collection. It is a peachy pink and it is really pretty. I swatched Immortal Flower which is a soft peach and that was really pretty too. My sister got the bright pink Peony Petal and it looked really good on her. She is much more tan than I, so I'm not sure what it would look like on. I definitely use a skunk brush to apply with a light hand.
I love Horizon blush, too. Isn't it just the perfect color?? Love it with Charme lipstick.

I am dying to see swatches of Calypso. Usually I need some pink tones or coral tones in the oranges, too -- I bet Holiday would be cute on the toes. I am pretty pale right now, so it would be a bit shocking! I just got a pedi today with a shimmery tangerine np that I am loving.

Welcome! There is limited availability of the collection right now, so I am assuming that the general release is any day now. I definately recommend testing the bronzers and coral lip products in person. I could see where especially the lip products could pull the wrong way on some skin tones.

Maybe this will help:

L to R: Calypso, MAC Star Quality, MAC Force of Love lg, and MAC TdF - heavy swatches on NW 20 to help show color
(I did the exact same procedure as my last pics, and this one turned out bigger. I don't get it!)

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ Thanks for the swatches! Calypso is more pigmented than I thought. I love the looks of the Force of Love l/g too

I don't get the picture thing sometimes, either LOL

Michelle!!!!! I am so happy you got Lovecloud - isn't it so pretty! I bought 2 I loved it on so much. Peony Petal is another favorite of mine. Its beautiful.

Oops I put the wrong order in the above post. I just corrected it. Sorry! It is L to R Calypso, MAC Star Quality, MAC Force of Love lg, and Mac TdF.

Winthrop - I forgot everything so thanks for the refresher links!

Just got back from staying with the kids for a few days - YAY! I LOVED it so much that I didn't want to come home.

I did get to go to our awesome awesome far away outdoor mall on the way home. And, a pottery barn outlet

 

[elegant-one]

I am definitely getting both shines, Calypso & the dark brown eye pencil

 

[Chikky]

Just got back from our mall, and they have the collection! I have to thank my great MUA's, who called me to let me know it showed up today.

I picked up:

Sable Rose bronzing powder
En Vogue rouge coco
Pêche Cuivré crayon khol
Sable-Emouvant eyeshadow duo
Brun Intense pencil

I will be going back for Empreinte, probably, and definitely the Soleil de Tan luminizing liquid (I should have bought that today!!) along with a few other things.

 

[Bonitinha]

Elegant -- so glad I got Lovecloud. It is so gorgeous!! The sales lady put Immortal Flower on me, which is a gorgeous shade, but she put so much on it looked like I had racing stripes on my cheeks

I didn't realize until I caught my reflection in a different store. Oh my word, I must have looked like a crazy lady. Hello MAC lady -- it's all in the blending! ha Looks like I need to go get Peony Petal, too

So glad you got to spend some time with your kids. So fun. I'm sure they loved it, too. And Yay for gorgeous malls and PB outlets!!



Chikky -- oh fun! Are you loving the bronzer? Let us know how you like everything!

 

[Chikky]

I am loving the bronzer. They had a special makeup artist there, and I was actually the only one shopping (?!) so she took a lot of time and put some makeup on me, and really explained how to put the bronzer on right, and I really look like I am sun-kissed!

I have to say, I am lucky. I have only met one Chanel MUA that I didn't absolutely LOVE (and to be fair, I barely had contact with the one I can't comment on). They're all really great.

I was slightly worried about En Vogue, and I wasn't planning on really getting it, but she used that on me, covered with Sirocco, and I was sold. I didn't buy Sirocco yet, but I'll probably end up with it, too. I just wanted to try a few other glossimers kind of like it before buying it.

I am having severe non-buying regret on a few things. I already can't wait to get back there!

I have been thinking about the luminizing liquid as well. Do you think that the liquid + bronzer would be too much? Do you plan to use them separately or together in one look?

They used them on me together, and it's definitely not too much (it was used as a highlighter, in certain places, not all over). I love how it looks. Though that's with their skilled hands. I will have to practice!

 

[Bonitinha]

Oh, I would love to know your tips for getting the bronzer to look fabulous!

 

[Chikky]

I don't know that it's a great tip for anyone but me, because I've never worn bronzer, but she told me to use the pinkish and beige stripes (above the 'Chanel') for blush, and sweep over the cheeks. The she swept her brush over the entire palette and did the rest of my cheeks and wherever the sun hits (forehead, chin, nose, hairline). Then I believe she swept over the 'Chanel' line as a teeny highlighter, because she just fluffed it over my cheeks.

Pretty effective! Sorry if it's not helpful, or I don't explain right... Like I said, I've never worn it, so it was all good info for me!
