Thank you for all the beautiful swatches ladies! I caved and pre-ordered Naked Bronze last night before my GP even got here. Speaking of GP, I really love it! I have dry skin but oily lids and I definitely noticed creasing after about 4 hours but that isn't unusual for my lids. I'm going to try it with my Nars eyeshadow base tomorrow, if I can find it of course, its been missing for about two weeks

So I caved and ordered Golden Peach. I hope I love it as much as everyone else does. In other news, I have no clue where my eye & cheek palette is although UPS tracking shows that Nordstrom updated the delivery address yesterday.

Hope you are all loving your stuff if you've gotten them. Some thoughts, I wore the palette today, all I can say is Wow! So pigmented and smooth, even after 8 hours of wear it didn't crease or fade. I used all 5 colors, the plum blush as a contour and the peachy gold over it. All 3 shadows and the peachy gold on my eyes, I was At the TF counter and the sa asked me what I had on my eyes. So I decided against the bronzer, don't need it, thank goodness. I am officially done withTF summer! On a side note, the Charlotte Tillbury cream shadows are gorgeous, I found that they don't dry as fast as the TF ones, a bit more time to blend them. Also at Guerlain they had no idea about the rainbow balls, thought I was crazy.

You know, since you said that, I did notice that most of the lids on the boxes were some what slightly popped open. hmmm

Now that's very interesting Winthrop, Sis & Psych1 because not only were my gold boxes closed & intact,
I couldn't open them (protecting my nails) w/o the assistance of a letter opener, just to get the flaps out!

I'm still waiting on my compact that I pre-ordered in-store. Hopefully it arrives Monday! I had a scare yesterday because I tried calling the TF counter at my Nordstrom and the SA couldn't find my order! Luckily the SA who actually took my info reassured me today that she mailed it on the 28th. I'm so anxious!

I hope it arrives soon Jay!!!

I hope you love GP it too Meka!

You know I just recalled that Nordies did to me, what they just did to you. They were shipping my Chanel order to my niece because I had previously ordered something
for her and her address was on file in my account. Even though I directed them to send it to my address, their system automatically selected her address. I suggested
they fix the glitch---their solution was to have all other addresses deleted from my account. That doesn't work for me because we live in two different states and
sometimes I elect to have items shipped to one, the other or both. It blows my mind because we're not talking about a little bodega---this is a major department store with
access to sound technology, yet they don't use it properly. They were able to notify the driver and redirected the package to me. I think you'll get your eye & cheek palette
soon too!!!

I've been wearing RS and SD all week, I think that my lips got very dry from them, did this happen to anyone else?

I think you've had your goodies longer than anyone Ernie. I haven't yet worn my Paradiso but I've had Sweet Spot since its original release and don't recall experiencing
any excessive dryness. That said, I apply Chanel Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care before my lipstick----always.

And one more with swatches from only the creams from eye duos in comparison with the two eyeshadow sticks from Chanel Summer Collection Caroube and Rose Laurier .i wanted to compare mostly the rose laurier with golden peach but they are quite different so i can justify myself for purchasing both :) enjoy Top Left Chanel Caroube,top right Chanel Rose Laurier Bottom Left naked Bronze or Spice (only the creme) middle midnight sea and bottom right Golden Peach or Pink Haze (only the cream )

And one from TF Body Oil on my hand.The scent of it reminded me a lighter version of black orchid
400

And last but not least almost the whole collection in full display. I guess black oyster and gold dust bronzer will be next!

In my opinion TF Soleil is the best summer collection along with Chanel Mediterranee
Wow thank you for swatches Did you buy it all love it all I would I really want the shimmer oil I have the terra bronzer coming and I think I may order the smaller gold dust :) The collection is one of the best this year out of all makes I think I only saw last years summer collection don't think I ever seen any others I wonder what the full coll will be :) how exciting

Great haul and thank you for the swatches! I swatched Electric pink and it was too crazy for me - Chanel La Diva would look subtle next to it!
Yer I swatched that pink at Bentalls the weekend I was down at my mums I did quite like it but I was quick So wiped it off quickly I saw them all with the nail polishes and lippys That pink is very bright :) though .

:yahoo: [COLOR=0000FF]My goodies just arrived from Neiman's.  It's pretty comical that I received 5 boxes.  One box had my eye & cheek palette, large bronzer, cream blush and Golden[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    Peach e/s duo.  [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]One box had my Paradiso lipstick, which was a total surprise and two boxes each had one sample----Incredible waste that was.  Now on to the[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    goods----I haven't yet swatched anything [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]because I hate to disturb perfection----this too shall pass.  For now, suffice it to say, this collection is nothing short of[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    stunning.  The packaging is chic & elegant, and I agree, the E/S duos [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]do not appear cheap and as others have said here, they are very well done!!!!  I managed to[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    calm down a bit to take a few quite lousy pics w/my iPad----Meddy has no [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]camera skills whatsoever.[/COLOR]     [COLOR=0000FF]I've had the TF Bronzer Brush for quite some time now, and often joked about how large it is.  Large it may be but it's also luxury at its finest.  I'm looking forward to using it with this, my first ever TF bronzer, in Terra.  I've always been a Guerlain girl when it comes to bronzers.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]I'll be finished w/the Soleil collection when my Shimmering Body Oil, Black Oyster, Naked bronze and small bronzing powder in Gold Dust arrive next week but I expect to enjoy these amazing products for a long time to come.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   [/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]  [/COLOR]

If you don't find the Nars base go for the Wet n Wild Fergie For My Primas eyeshadow primer. Well even if you do find it, try Wet n Wild. It's amazing! I was at my Gucci makeover this week and the SA wanted to know what eyeshadow I was wearing because she was having a hard time getting it off. I remembered I was wearing one of Mac mineralized shadows. So I told her it must be the primer. I was all set to get the Nars when I heard about this one. Amazing for the price!

I find that this happens a lot with Guerlain. They just don't know.
