I just got mine and it looks WAY better on me than Nouvelle Vague did. I am really pale (NC10-15), neutral to warm.

I really do love it and I was pretty leery since NV didn't work on me. It's on the lighter end of the spectrum of the swatches I've seen out there and I agree with everything we've heard about the sheerness and the shimmer being pretty invisible. It's a blue I'll feel comfortable wearing even as a np color wimp!

Mine arrived today, and it is sooooo pretty!! I'm not a person that likes blue makeup, but I enjoy this color very much. I hope I can get home quickly tomorrow and paint my nails so I can get pictures up!

Ooh. I got mine yesterday & it is SO very pretty! I haven't done my nails with it yet, but it is a real beauty in the bottle, I plan on wearing mine a 2 coat sheer. Its not a color I would normally wear on my nails but this one is the perfect blue. I think it will be gorgeous with navy & charcoal/heather grey colors. Glad everybody loves theirs too!

Geesh, I forgot about my Sari Dore lipstick. It is a gorgeous perfect fresh light orange - not overly orange or tacky at all. Its a pink base orange but it does not come out coral. Its not even close to Genial. Genial is way more pink coral. A light application of it on is really pretty.

Would you mind swatching Sari Doré next to Génial if you have the time? Thanks a lot.

Ohh or Chalys and Tehetian. I was shocked at how similar they are. It does look like Sari Dore is a lot more orange and original though!

OMG I just about had a flippin heart attack!! Regarde Perle quad and some of the lip products are showing in the drop down boxes on Neiman Marcus's website!!! They show as backordered though. How weird is that?!! They do pop up there very early in the drop down boxes but I've only ever seen that when they are in stock. Breathe Christa!! LOL I had intended to order everything from my new Chanel SA at Macy's but I have to pay for her to ship it to me usps outside of Macy's after what happened with the stupid $30 UPS brokerage fee on my Soho lippies so now I'm not so sure how patient I can be for the Spring stuff if it comes online on NM. I have a $50 gift card for NM that expires Nov 30th I got in a swap too to use.

This has some promo pics I haven't seen before. Finally a close up of the quad! I wonder if the US will get a square pan version? Hope so.

WOW more promo pics. Individual pics of all the lipsticks confirming my worst fear.....I think I need all four. Maybe I should pass on the quad. It just seems so unoriginal in the pics. I think I may need to see swatches first. That 5 colour e/s palette is going to be mine though! Looks like maybe similar colours to Enigma. http://www.bellasugar.com.au/Photos...on-2011-Which-Launches-February-2011-12243814

Beautiful!! I am confused though - so there are 2 eyeshadow palettes in this collection. Hmmmm, If that was noted before, I missed it.
