Will notorious be sold at department stores as well? I've noticed that only CHANEL.com is selling it thus far?

Thank you so much :) I might take you up on that. I found out today that Germany WILL get htis collection, but only on three counters and not online. There is this feature on the Douglas website where they send a product that you're looking for to your nearest store to pick it up, but I'm not sure if that works with this collection since it's so exclusive. They don't do it with MAC products either, if the store you want to pick it at is a small one without a MAC counter. If I decide to get the nail polish, I will give this a try first. Oh no. I did get a virus alert when I tried to read a PM I got on here couple of weeks ago, that was really weird.
You really ARE a detective, aren't you? *g* Would you mind sharing the stores where it will be available? Do you also know when it will be released?

I've been playing with Notorious for a few days now and I love it. So thanks again to Ingenue for the review. Still have some contour practicing to do but I'm getting the hang I think. And thanks to Shontay for the heads up about Macys. Was able to purchase Malice today! And I purchased L'Impatiente on a whim... it looks pretty much exactly like La Provocante on my lips. Don't ask, I'm not sure why. But provocante doesn't pull that purple/vampy on me anyways. So L'Impatiente will be going back. =/

You're welcome ! Well Tumulte is a chic pink, neither too bright or nude, Rose Initiale is softer but Tumulte is really flattering. Here are the JC I have :

- Espiègle, soft peachy blush
- Rose Ecrin : nude and mute rose
- Rose Initiale : rose with subtle golden micro-shimmer
- Orchid Rose : coral/peachy rose
- Pink Explosion : soft candy rose with very subtle shimmer
- Plum Attraction : beautiful plum blush
- Rouge : really intense but also sheer blush ( pretty when going out for dinner or such occasions )
- Malice : very pretty peach blush, both intense and subtle
- Tumulte : very pretty rose, soft and bright at the same time
- Ultra Rose : pretty rose with blue undertones, really intense

Hope it will help a little bit.

No Chanel Holiday at my Nordstrom as well. I haven't checked with Macy's because I am pretty loyal to my awesome Chanel MUA at Nordstrom. She did mention something about a call to the buyers and the thought that they may want to wait until it is closer to the holidays. Doesn't make much sense to me.

I had to make due with my new goodies. I got Notorious and the Guerlain Dragon Meteorites. OMG on both! Notorious is amazing and I love it on my eyes as much as for contouring. It makes green eyes pop.

And the Dragon Meteorites are....as the lovely Shontay says...beyond beyond. I will never in a million years use them all up but I am still fighting the urge to back them up.

I might have just accidentally bought Ultra Rose.... :blush: And I also swatched Malice blush and was a bit underwhelmed, I think I was waiting way too long for this. For the holiday collection I a down to Malice n/p and maybe L'Impatiente.

Oh dear. I just looked at this collection. I'm a Dragon sign, so the Dragon Meteorites are

. It will be my first Guerlain purchase if I get them. I say "if" to feign like I have any willpower left.
Oh Guerlain products are just horrible. Avoid buying them at all costs. Not really - LOL. It is just that "getting into" Guerlain is as slippery & expensive a slope as Chanel. Once the flood gates open.....

OK. I am confused. Why do none of the Nordstrom stores have the Chanel Holiday collection but the website has the individual pieces for sale on it except for the quad?

Thanks for the heads up. I have La Provocante too. I'll need to do a side by side comparison when my L'Impatiente is delivered. I hope they're different on me, but I don't need both if they're not.

My Macys is now saying that they will not have the Holiday collection until the first week of Nov. So I guess the BO date for Nordies is for real.

Ack, this doesn't help! I went over to Nordstrom.com and have the Guerlain Dragon Meteorites sitting in my cart.

How long do Guerlain holiday or LE items usually last? Do they sell out quickly and restock?
