I saw this look on your blog this morning. Really stunning and definitely makes me want the quad that much more.

Oh no.

I'm picking up the quad tomorrow from somewhere on this planet.

So, Rouge Noir lipstick - yes or no?

I like the color and I like how it's buildable. To me, it looks good as a wash of color and at full strength. I'm not sure how similar it will be to L'Impatiente if you're getting that lipstick. I think it could work well with the quad, too.

YES. It's a perfect, sophisticated Fall colour. It's not dark and opaque enough to be really vampy, but it definitely has an impact.

I've had rouge noir for about two weeks now, and I love it!! The matte velvet lipstick that belongs with the holiday collection has a touch more purple in it. I prefer the finish on the rouge noir. I am extremely pale, with blonde hair, and blue eyes. I find darker sheer colors easier to wear than lighter brights. I am a huge fan of Chanel and have been reading all your posts for a long time, but was a little nervous to contribute. You all seem so nice and I do share the same passion for makeup! My collection, at this point in my life, has grown embarrassingly huge, but somehow I think all of you lovely ladies will understand!! :)

Nice to see another very pale, blonde-haired, blue-eyed darker lip fan on the board!

YAY! I received a call from my SA at Saks. They have the holiday collection and she's shipping out my order.

I can finally play with Notorious, too, and a few other Chanel goodies since it was all part of one order. I did not order the quad yet. I'm still waiting until tomorrow to take advantage of my credit card promotion. And I think MissTT mentioned something about a GWP tomorrow that I need to look into, so it will work better for me to wait just one more day.

  Yes, we understand!

Thanks everyone!

Elegant and CartoonChic, that's OCC Lip Tar in Strumpet. Applied with a brush, no liner.

Don't be nervous. We LOVE new Chanel addicts here. The more the merrier!

Thank you all for the very kind welcome. I had malice on today for a short time. It's a redder version of vamp. Vamp has that purple bit of undertone in it. Both are so perfect for this time of year.  I have the eye quad, malice, and stardust so far.  My dear friend is the Chanel manager at my local Macy's and they are having a big event next Friday. She is absolutely terrific and I am so grateful to work with someone of her caliper. She's been with Chanel for well over 20 years and it's a pleasure to work with someone who really knows the industry. Finding someone like that at your local counter is so rare.

Oh you're so lucky to have someone like that!  How do you like Star Dust on? Do you find it glittery? 

Stardust is aptly named! It does have a sparkle to it. But Chanel does sparkle in such a classy way! Confined to the upper part of the cheekbone it is just glorious. I think it is the perfect companion to a smokey eye. It so belongs in this holiday collection. In addition to that glow you get from most of their blushes you do get a little extra "stardust". It's nothing crass or garish, just lovely and festive. Perfect for that special holiday look!

Ok, you've talked me into it!

Oh.no!! ;) Do you have tweed pink? That has sparkle in it as well. But unless you are out in direct sunlight, it's not really that obvious. It is just a lovely sparkle, not glitter!

Nope, I don't have Tweed Pink. The only light Tweed blush I've ever had was Rose subtil (I think it was an Asia exclusive but I'm not sure anymore) and the color really didn't show up on me.  Couldn't get Narcisse to show up on me either. Does Star Dust have more color to it than that?

Perfect!

Your Chanel lady sounds wonderful!

Winthrop I thought that to be funny.

Star Dust is pretty light. Tweed pink shows up on me and I do use it as a blush, not as a highlighter.Do you have the opportunity to test it out before you buy? It really is gorgeous, but then again, I am very pale. What about orchid rose? Does that work for you? It is lighter than orchid rose. 

I just wanted to make sure that this was the right quad. the name isnt the same but it looks the same?

That's it!

Preordered stardust and apparence from nordstrom. Hoping I love stardust :)

^^ Really? I can't find Apparence or any of the IdOs on Nordstrom for some reason?

Yep, no problems at all with Orchid Rose. Alot of people on MUA had problems with Narcisse. The Euro version actually shows up better on me (and is cooler toned) - I'm very pale but I guess my rosacea makes the warmer light pinks a little iffy for me. Tea Rose is another that didn't show up.  I don't have a counter close to me but I'm sure SD would be easy to swap if it turned out I didn't like it. Thanks for your help!

Oboy, got my palette and Malice polish today thanks to my friend in the US! Both are gorgeous, but you all knew that already.
 

Here is another review on Notorious along with several comparison swatches (thebeautylookbook.com):

LOL! I keep chanting this in my head. I've been telling myself NO MORE shopping before our trip to Vegas next week. I think that means I should buy it when I get to Vegas

Here's my Malice mani.. It's such a pretty color! Excuse my ghost hands I had to use the flash since I took it at night.
