Since I have no Chanel close to me in either direction, I just ordered Murano online from Macy's since I had a credit anyway. I can't wait to try this out!! I love greens and just haven't come across one that I've been truly happy with. I look forward to seeing what the texture is like on these. This is my first one!!

Thanks for the info. Winter Nights has been on my list forever. I too was sucked into to Rajasthan hype. I love the champagne color but the green isn't as pigmented as I hoped, still a nice duo though. I'm going to give Winter Nights a try, I'm sure it'll meet my expectations.

I may get rid of my recently aquired NARS duo for that reason. I'd given up on NARS shadows before but after all the hype with Rajasthan I gave it another go. |

Is anyone familiar with the Stage Lights quad?
Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow Stage Lights 51
I think it was available in the US at one time but is now Asia-exclusive (may be currently available in Europe too, I'm not sure). I'm wondring how it is pigment-wise, etc.

I remember looking at it very hard when it came out a while ago, but I do not remember specifics or why I did not buy it.
Not available via web here either, same as Almus said.

I have a few quints from Dior, and quite a few quads from Chanel. The thing is, Dior does iridescent like no other, and the shadows are buttery soft and blend really well. But... most of my Dior shadows crease quite a bit over the day, some too much so. I have the baked Euro version of the Chanel quads, as that is what we get here in Canada. Sometimes I find them to be a bit harder to blend than Dior shadows, because they aren't as soft. However, once on, they stay put pretty well through the day with very little creasing. I can't comment on the U.S. shadows, yet! I also adore the shimmer in Chanel shadows.

^^ Yes it does.
I would def have to use it in combination with other shadows.

So I visit the counter this morning and the lady told me she didn't know about it being sold in here. It's truly a shame cause it seems absolutely gorgeus
On the other hand I was not able to resist and I've bought Magic Night e/s. I haven't tried it in my eyes yet cause we are not going out today (I am not feeling very good, I've attacked by a very very bad headache
)
Anyway I tried it on my arm all alone, with some primer (I used MAC's paint in Bare Canvas) and with Shiseido's hydropower e/s H4 (soft burgundy with a bit of green irisdescent shimmer) under it. It's going to be a great colour for fall but I have to work a bit more on the perfect combo for me
I made some swatches of my arm with those combinations if someone is interested

I went through the Dillard's in my mall today and happened across the Chanel counter that I never knew was there before! I don't remember seeing that particular quad, and really, I think there were only about 6 on display. There were quite a few empty places. I have to say I'm very intrigued by the sound of the Shiseido color you used. I'd love to see swatches of that and the Chanel you used with it.

Hello!
You can check a very good swatch (as always!) at Karlasugar's blog for the Shiseido e/s I was talking about. Here it is the direct link: Shiseido Hydropowder eyeshadow - The Next Best Thing To Going Shopping Yourself
I only have H4 one and I am very happy with it. It is very buildable so I wear it on its own (always with some primer because of my super oily lids) and some plum/brown liner or as a second e/s base in order to boost the red subtones in certain e/s. Yesterday I felt sort of creative myself and decided to make a killer-eyes smoky look just to stay at home
. I put Shisedo's H4 a bit "thick" on the eyelid (I don't know if that makes sense, but you know I used quite a bit more product than usual to really achieve the red wine / burgundy colour of the cream e/s). Then I added Chanel's Magic Night over it and a bit upper on the crease. Just to finish, I blended a bit of MAC's Star violet on the crease, to make a soft transition between my skin and Chanel's e/s and darkened the outer corner of my eye with MAC's Carbon. After that black khol and black mascara and I was ready to rock the sofa!
If I do that seriously again to go out, I'll take some pictures and post them around.

Does anyone have any tips for using Chanel shadows wet? I know they are supposes to be wet/dry shadows but how do you use then wet. The only time I've really only tried to line with wet shadow. How would you do a whole eye wet? How would you blend? So you use the same brushes? I would like to try a whole eye wet with Stupendous since I'm not happy with the pigmentation and the Holiday quad looks gorgeous wet but how does Chanel suggest you do it?
