How are you liking Confidentielle? I've been eyeing it for a while. I'm also thinking about Charming -- let me know if you get it!

Yay! The Chanel love is spreading! Isn't Pleasing gorgeous? I love it.
You'll have to let us know if you go back for more.

I went to the DFS this afternoon and they had the Voyage palette only. I am mistaken, I didn't see Paris-NY and Paris-LA will not be available here too. Voyage contains 4 e/s, 4 lip colours and a powder blush. Elegant, do you have Voyage?
I went to my usual counter and swatched PP and compared it with other fuchsia glosses from Dior, Lancome, MUFE and so on. PP's multi coloured micro glitters is the most stunning! No doubt it is sheer, other brands' fuchsia glosses tend to be sheer too. But I didn't pick up PP immediately, maybe later on.
Wore tweed fuchsia, Tentation Cuivree and Magnolia with a Dior Addict (old packaging) fuchsia gloss. I love tweed fuchsia, it is pigmented and blendable and buildable!
The glitters aren't chunky too. I also love the quad, especially the beautiful glittery copper brown pink colour!
However, the Dior gloss is slippery and when topped over slippery Magnolia, even though I lined my lips with Pink Sugar, the lip colour spread out of my natural lip line.

No I don't have Voyage. I haven't even heard of it. When did it come out & is it nice?

^^ It is a travel palette. I think it came out a few months back, perhaps in August. I google it and here is a good description and pic of it.

There was no tester at the DFS so I couldn't play with it. But as you can see in the pic, the colours are neutral and classic. I don't really need the mini mascara though, we can get them as samples since we buy a lot from Chanel.
). It isn't warm, it has pink undertones.
It is like a brown version of Enigma. Yeah, I don't like warm browns - I find Dior Iridescent Leather too warm for me! After getting it because of all the raves, I'm all the more disappointed. I also don't like Kaska Beige. Winthrop and Nora both like Tentation Cuivree too!
Tweed Fuchsia is my first tweed blush and I really like it!

I like the quad, although I've just used it once (freshly opened today^^^MissQQ, how do you like Tentation Cuivree? I know you are not too fond of warm browns either. Ithe darkest colour in the quad, but I am not sure if the quad in total might not be too warm.
And after all your raves Tweed Fuchsia might become my first Chanel blush...
Tweed Fuchsia is my first tweed blush and I really like it!

Oh no, now you're tempting me to check out tweed fuchsia! How much does it cost? Btw I'm wondering how fast LE Chanel products sell out in our country?

Winnie, I can't remember the exact price of the blush, it is over $60. It really depends on how much stock we receive, some eg Jade and the mini brush set sell out within 1 to 2 days while other LE items get a 2nd shipment so we need not despair if we missed the 1st shipment.

Wow over $60 for a blush is kinda steep for me right now. Maybe when I have my own income I'll be able to afford more Chanel stuff.

I'm pretty new to Chanel and was wondering on average, how many LE collections Chanel comes out with per year? One per month? One per season?

I fell in love with Splash, too. I bought it a couple of weeks ago when I went to pick up Pleasing after the MA was showed it to me (I also left with Cassis eyeliner -- I'm a bad girl!). It's a really lovely color and, on me, really brings out the copper in the brown shade of the holiday quad.
I really want to try some of the other colors. I'm a sucker for bases, and Splash is light (as in, not a heavy texture) and wears so well. I'm so glad the MA recommended it! I never would have bought it on my own, what with my number of paint pots, shadesticks and greasepaint sticks.

Edit: Oh duh...I forgot they don't have Steel on NM. Well you could get the other 2 from there and I bet you could swap for Steel.
No because the others have been sold out for ages :-( oh well I really shouldn't get hooked on $23 nailpolish anyways LOL

mrslid, I don't mean to encourage bad behavior on your part, but I just checked NM and Particuliere is in stock and Paradoxal is expected to ship by 11/29.

Winnie, they do one big collection per season but then may have smaller collections for new product types in between. Definitely nowhere near the number or size of collections MAC puts out. And because items are so pricey you may consider your individual purchases more carefully and actually end up spending less money overall.

Dreamer -- I will have to add Confidentielle to my short list! In answer to your question about Chanel LE items -- there are usually a few that come out with each collection. Sometimes they add the new stuff to the perm line and sometimes quite a few items will be LE. So, it totally feeds into the obsession
Elegant -- love your pics of that palette -- so pretty!
