Best Things in Beauty says it was on chanel.com and sold out very quickly. I find it hard to believe that no one on here saw it, but maybe that's just me. It's a skip for me either way but I think it will be great on you!
Well, I checked today and it is already sold out. They sold out the first day. All of them. Where are the people wearing makeup like this?! Same with the ultra-bright lipsticks, I never see people wearing them and I get funny looks wearing a red lip. And they really told you it was up and sold out so fast? Hard to believe.
Yes, I thought that was odd too.  But I ended up going to Saks and picking it up anyway.  I've been on a contour kick yesterday.  The SA said they were the only ones that had it.  Don't know if this is true or not but I went to Bloomies earlier and I did not see it.  This was the Saks NYC store if anyone is interested.
I am living vicariously through you :D Did you already try it out?
 
I sent a post last night but it's not here. :-? Anyway, my Chanel rep has a few Notorious left. If interested, you can contact me for her personal number , and she can get it to you.
 
Uh just got the channel aqua foundation and I'm in love!!! I can't wait to do a full review, its water based and applies beautifully :) Replacing my HG Laura Mercier Silk Cream foundation...thats a big deal!!

Anyone else tried this foundation? How do you apply? As of right now I'm using my Sigma F80

Definitely post, Shontay. My SA emailed asking if I wanted it and I asked her how she thought it would look on WOC. She never emailed me back and I feel like she doesn't need my money then. LOL

I definitely will post. I love that I can use it on the eyes, too. I'm sooo excited right now because I just got an e-mail saying it shipped already! :clap: Since it's $43 I went with standard shipping, but it should still be here pretty fast. Anyone see this post: http://bestthingsinbeauty.blogspot.com/search?q=notorious

I want to try Notorious, but I am afraid of it too. LOL! Anyone who is on the paler side tried it yet?

I think that I will order it to try it out. It is so unique compared to everything else out there. Plus I can always use it on my eyes.

It is back on Chanel's site.

I've seen it online for at least two days now. I've been checking on it since earlier in the week.

@Haven.... I am very fair. I use Blanc de Chanel as foundation; and used to use Johnson's Baby Powder as a setting powder until two (?) years ago when I bought as many Chanel Poudre Cristalline as I could find. ;-) Notorious is good for me because it is so unusual. I always wear things I "shouldn't". A quick brush over Notorious, a lot of blending, and some Tumulte Joues Contraste make a very compelling look. I thick-lined my eyes with Violet Smoke Le Crayon Yeux, and then used Notorious for a smoky eye. La Provocante lipstick made for a nice "amethyst face". I loved it!

Embrace the makeup! ;-)

I'm unsure where to put this so I'm putting it here. My counter is repromoting the entire Vitalumiere line of foundation which we have all seen before, but there is a new JC and a highlighter like the one from the le blanc collection released earlier. I just purchased the Perlee highlighter last week and this week, I saw this new highlighter! In the pan, Nacree looks darker than Perlee. I didn't swatch them side by side but I think Nacree is slightly more pink. The texture is the gel-like formula and very smooth, and gives a glow on my hand. Ultra Rose is the brightest pink JC I've seen from Chanel this far, but it is also in the baked formula as what my counter always get. It isn't a shimmery JC. I think I willl cave for the highlighter.

Both are fresh testers! I was the first to swatch.

Thanks MissQQ. Love that Chanel has gotten away from all the brown-based JCs! Someone on MUA said today that Vitalumiere Aqua had been reformulated. Have you heard this at all? BTW did you ever get the Noir or Indiscret (midnight blue) e/s that were originally mentioned along with Complice, Infini, etc. but that we didn't get in the US?

WOW. Those are incredible. I want them both. It's definitely time for me to visit some of the Chanel counters I haven't been to in a while.

Thanks for the heads up about VA being reformulated. I didn't speak to the SAs when I was at the counter, and I haven't heard of it so I have no idea. I'll check it out next week. Did MUA say how the new formula differs from the old? I have forgotten about Noir and Indiscret. Is Noir a matte black and in the usual powder formula or the gel formula? There was a shimmery black eyeshadow, Black Star perhaps, and certainly no midnight blue eyeshadow at the displayer when the fall collection was launched. I'll check it out again, they may sneak into the counters after the launch.
