Chanel Eyeshadows

Stage Lights is much cooler, and paler by comparison - here is a pic. Vanities on the left, Stage Lights on the right (sorry the pic is fuzzy - it was the only one of the ones I took that captured the colors somewhat accurately - the pink in Vanities in the lower left corner is 'pinker' than that, but the other colors are almost dead-on):
You can see I haven't used Stage Lights that much - the colors are not as rich. The deepest purple color doesn't have the greatest payoff, but the others definitely do. It's good for a subtle, cooler purple eye, but more 'spring'-like.

Oops, I see I've been spelling it wrong, lol. Thanks for the info. I see on NM it says it will ship no later than 8/19. So I guess the Sophisticated Eye collection will be here soon.

^^ Great! Lagons is pretty! I would get it if I don't have Blue Celestes.
Cheryl - Thanks for the pic. Vanities is looking a little brown and grey on my screen. Your description helps a lot, that Stage Lights is cooler and less rich in colour. I wouldn't notice it unless you point it out.
I got some pics of the quads at the counter. They are baked and look more shimmery, plus the counter lights wash out the colour, especially at the top of the pic.

Hmmm. So do the colors in the US vs Euro Vanites look different from each other?

Vanites was my first Chanel quad, and it is definitely my most favourite one!
I think that there is definitely a difference between the US and European versions of Vanites, but not so much in the actual colour, as the intensity of it.
I had been eyeing the European version for ages, mainly because it had such an amazing colour payoff, when I would swatch it with my finger, but I read that the application for this quad to the actual eyelid is a real pain. You really have to build it, to get a decent colour payoff, otherwise all you'll end up with, is just a light hint of the colour and glitter.
I managed to get myself the US version of the quad, and I don't have this issue at all.

I think so - from Miss QQ's pics, the Euro version of Stage Lights is much prettier than my version, but then Vanites looks prettier too! But if it's hard to work with, I'll stick with mine

Elena - thanks! The baked ones that I'm so used to are definitely shimmery and I always pack on lots of the powder on my brush before patting and pressing it onto my lids. The thing about the baked es is that they are buildable and can be used wet, although I rarely use them wet. So you ended up with the US Vanities, is that right? Good to hear you use it a lot and like it. I think the colours in the US and Europe version can look slightly different sometimes because of the shimmers and how they reflect under different lighting in the European quads.

Hi All, Are Vanities and Fauve permanent or limited edition? I don't want to miss out on them and I won't be near a counter until the end of August.
