Happy to help! She showed it to me, and it is very pretty in person. I wasn't able to swatch it though. My impression is that it will be available in limited quantities, so if you want one don't hesitate once it becomes available. She also mentioned a brush set and red cosmetic's pouch (gwp).

My SA asked if I wanted to be on the pre-sale list given the limited quantities available for the highlighter. I put my name down but am a little hesitant given the price, especially because I have a fair number of highlighters as is. For those who have it or have tried it, is it an absolute must have? I've seen swatches and reviews on blogs (including Sara's!) but am still hesitant given that it's so expensive. Thanks so much for any opinions!

The price is stopping me from preordering as well. I want it b/c it looks gorgeous & swatches beautifully (based on what I have seen online), but I have resisted so far. Plus I wouldn't want to use it.

ETA: I know though that I will probably cave and get it eventually.

I feel exactly the same way in that the swatches are gorgeous, and the combination of the color + finish doesn't look like it'd be easy to find an exact dupe. Unfortunately for my wallet, I typically cave in these situations especially when it's a hyped product!

It's just so pretty though. I definitely am eyeing it. I am hoping it will underwhelm me when I see it in person but I'm thinking that won't be the case haha.

Oh I was just going to post that I preorderd Dentelle Precieux (spelling??). I saw it in the book and told the SA I wanted it. But I forgot to go to the Chanel counter to see if they had a tester. The SA told me I can pick it up on Thursday. We shall see.

I think I'm going to keep my name on the pre-order list after all. After reading so many good reviews of the highlighter, it sounds almost too good to pass up. If only it wasn't so expensive!

Yes, it is pricey! But I figured as much. We've known about this item for a while so I was expecting it to be costly. Plus, Chanel is getting more and more expensive with these limited, specialty items. Plus, I'm highlighter crazy so it was a done deal. I still wonder if they ever brought back the $250 highlighter, would I get it. Anyone remember that one? It sold out too fast for me to even contemplate it. Actually, if they brought it back I'm sure it would cost more than that now. I still think of it as the highlighter of all highlighters!

Those are all good points! Plus, compared to $250, $80 doesn't seem nearly as bad now.

Thanks Icecaramellatte!

Does anyone know if the highlighter is going to be available in Canada again? I know that the MAC Nordstrom Anniversary Exclusive is going to be available at the Bay also. I'm hoping to pick this up as I didn't get it when it came out earlier in the year.

Just ordered my Dentelle Precieuse from Nordstrom online! I have been swooning over it for months!

(And hi everyone! Long time lurker, finally gave into signing up.

Just got mine too!

Surprisingly it wasn't a Nordstrom Rewards exclusive, as I was seriously thinking of joining the Rewards program just for this item.

I was surprised as well to see that. What I like about these anniversary sale is not only the exclusives but the fact that they usually have the fall collections much earlier than other places. Unfortunately so far, I have seen much as far as fall collections. I do remember in past years that some stuff started popping up later during the sale. So I'm going to keep an eye out.

I can't wait to pick up the highlighter tomorrow at the Anniversary Sale! I unfortunately can't go today but am eagerly anticipating shopping the sale tomorrow after work :).

They have the Chanel fall collection and part of the YSL fall collex out. When I ordered mine I was required to use
my Nordies card---early access I suppose for card holders. It's a Nordstrom store exclusive w/early access for
Nordies card holders. Does that make sense?

I wonder if that holds true for the store in regards to the Dentelle. I also wanted the MAC Basic Brush set, but I wasn't able to get it yet since I don't have the Nordies card - I expected the Dentelle to have the same restriction.

I called into my local Nordies earlier this week asking about pre-ordering, but they told me they weren't allowed to do pre-orders, but they could set up a private appointment if I had the Nordies card. They also told me they allocated a set of the Dentelle for sale exclusively to the public once the sale opens up.
