OK, I actually went and exchanged Moon River and Pink Lagoon. I did looks w/ the two and for one reason or another, I wasn't completely happy with them. Instead, I got Jade Shore shadow stick and Lime Light mascara. I tried both of them full-on when I got home and these work much, much better. Nothing is wrong w/ the formula of MR or PL, but these colors I exchanged for ended up working better for me. Go figure. A major rave for the mascara! It actually shows up! That bright green is noticeable to the naked eye. Incredible. Of all the brands that can nail a colored mascara, I didn't think it would be Chanel. It looks so awesome on the bottom lashes. It makes me want to go back for the yellow. It has to be just as good right?

Oh I am so in love with Chanel summer 2013 collection, especially the nail polishes and eye shadow sticks. I am new to the forum but I did many swatches (complete swatches of eye shadows and comparisons with illusion d'ombres as well as all the mascaras) and would like to share with you but anytime I send a link, it doesn't publish my post anymore :-( does someone know why and what I should do about it?

I just got my Azure np and Moon River shadow stick and I am with you on Moon River. The color is nothing to write home about on my skintone either...it looks like a wet mink brown. I love Azure though and think it will be so fun on toes for the summer!

Winthropp44, I don't know why I didn't like it. I love Epatant on me, but I just wasn't into MR. Elegant, I'm glad you love Pygmalion. :D

Elegant, if I have Monte Carlo RCS do I need Pygmalion?

Yes! I guess I will be returning my quad. I have similar colors in some of the older quads - Bird of Paradise and Lagons - both of which I have baked versions of. Haven't used either of those much, so no point buying another one with the same bunch of colors..:(

I just tried on my Bird of Paradise after you said that - I have the US square pan version. I really like the bottom 2 colors.

Monte Carlo - left, Pygmalion - right. P is SO pretty! Its more of a slight coral pink strawberry. It seems to be more pigmented & is lasting a bit longer than previous shines.

I like the colors in that quad, but I have the baked version - it's what we used to get in India at that time. I think now they sell the square version there too....

Yes, but that honestly happens quite often when I want something from Chanel's web site. I looked online for photos of the Metamorphose quad and only came up with stock photos. So, I ordered and crossed my fingers lol. I think it is prettier in person than in the stock photo.

The photo I posted was under natural light, and at least on my monitor is true to life.
