glosses look amazingHere's BTiB's review of the Extrait de Glosses.

Merveille is...and it's definitely been added to my list of "needs" from this collection.
Yes, I have to say that if I were to choose between them, I'd probably go with Chantecaille. I was also interested in the CdP highlighter that I saw, but that one is just ridiculously expensive. Makes Chantecaille's price look like a drugstore find.
Did you see the purple RA lipstick? How purple is it? Is the coral RAV similar in color to Flamboyante if you have that lipstick? I'm getting the purple RA no matter what, but I think I'll wait to swatch the other lipsticks in person. I think I'll wait to see the polish in person as well. I'm still swooning for the highlighter. Is it expected to sell out quickly like Notorious?
The CdP highlighter has tempted me too but for the price it's a no. I really like the Chantecaille highlighter and maybe it's a good thing I can't get the brand here.
Disappointing to hear about Fracas. Money saved!
The purple lipstick was more plum? Envoutante is definitely more in tune with the fall color that's happening right now. It's gorgeous mainly due to the RA texture. Actually now that I"m think about it again, I might go back and pick that up or when Dillards/Nordies does a Chanel event. I was so distracted by the other lipsticks.
Thanks for the info! I'm putting together my list now. La Favorite looks very pretty on you.The purple lipstick was more plum?

The nude ones (one pinky nude and the other more peachy nude) seemed really wearable too. I never go into Saks so it was just weird...there was no one there and the SA helping me was basically no help. When I tried on the lippie she didn't even use alcohol, she just scraped some off for me...
I do have Flamboyante but not in the velvet texture. Flamboyante is more of a softened red while La Favorite is more orange, even though it's not orange at all. I'll try to take pictures later when I find my Flamboyante hiding somewhere.
If I do go back I want to get that lipgloss Merveille and another lipstick, probably Envoutante, I think they would look good together. The nail polishes weren't anything special. But Fracas was very pretty don't get me wrong. I just wish the shimmers showed more.
This is me wearing La Favorite, sorry lighting in the office is very yellow!
Thank you so much for posting! La Favorite looks fantastic on you! This is the one I was most interested in. It doesn't look orange on you at all, but that could be my computer.

Raffinement is listed on this site that was previously linked in this thread as LE.I got the quad yesterday from my Saks and I love it. It's very neutral and classy looking on. Where did you read that it's LE? That is crazy of Chanel! Prelude is also beautiful. Really you need both.
