Well, sadly I'm not a fan of the blush on myself (just too peachy for me), BUT I love the Noir Petrole liner, Codes Subtils quad, Blanc np and black top coat.

Ahh, shucks. I was wondering if you were going to like it. I think my pink undertones helped it to work on me. So tell me about the quad.

Good point. I hope she's okay!

Yes,that'sexactlywhatIwasthinking.Onmyskinthere'sno

Okay...Go Advanced and try again! So tired of this.

On my skin there is no bit of nude rose. I wish there was! I bet it's super pretty on you.

The quad...the top two shades, a warmish-neutral pink and a sandy gold, are almost wet/foiled looking, while the bottom shades, a copper and a grey-brown, look almost matte in comparison, but actually have fine shimmer particles (more in the copper than in the grey-brown). I've only swatched on my arm so far but I think it will be really, really pretty and eye-brightening on. The picture of the quad on chanel.com is pretty color-accurate on my monitor, it just looks a little lighter overall irl.

Also, the black top coat looks like it will be okay to work with and a cool thing. I still want to know what's under it in that pic on chicprofile though.

The crazy typing is driving me nuts too :doh:

Oh, I forgot to ask about the np. The black topcoat sounds interesting. I'm very curious about it. I love how you described the 2 lower shades. I love colors like that so I may have to get it. I liked how the blush looked done very softly. I need to look at it in daylight/brighter natural light too just to be sure.

I wonder why some of the older posts on the net about this collection had pics Candeur et Experience and what looked like Tisse Smoky ?

I'm not sure how much they have their act together as far as collections go. Did you notice they called this one Spring/Summer 2017? Does that imply there will be no separate Summer 2017?

I'd love to know where people are getting these color descriptions. They're totally different on every list of the collection I see....

Gosh. I wanted to see what their Summer concept would have been

Did you get the Blanc nail polish? If so could you describe it and if it's with the plunge please?

Yes, I got Blanc White and Beige Beige. I LOVE Blanc White, but it is sheer, kind of like Chanel Ballerina polish. With no base coat just playing around when it got here it took 4 coats to make it opaque. That said, it was not streaky, so that was good. I'll wear it over a base coat that gets some of the coverage job done. The color itself is a very neutral off-white that looks just like it does on chanel.com on my monitor. It would look flattering on any skin tone.

Beige Beige I detest on my skin tone. It also looks just like it does on chanel.com so I'm not sure what I was thinking.

I still want to know what they used under the black top coat on the model's nails in the pic on Chic Profile. Any ideas? I tried it over Beige Beige and that turned to a murkey mid-tone lavender. Actually much nicer than Beige Beige but not the shade in the photo. Could it be over the red? Chanel.com told me they don't know "because the collection has not launched yet".

Just got my order! Monsy, you are going to love the blush. I was a bit scared when I saw it in the pan, but its very very lovely on. It's a slight golden peach with a bit of nude rose. Lovely. The Noir Petrole is perfect. It's a slight sepia medium dark cool brown.

I'm so happy to hear that! I can't wait to get mine.

Some of the collection is up on BG with that weird shade name thing again: "medium beige" and "neutral pattern" :/
