Wonderful swatches!! Luckily these are perm (...right?) so I can wait on these. They look beautiful but I've never own a RC before. I have RAs and RAVs which I love.

Looks like Legend, Teheran and Sari Dore are still very frosty. But it could be the angle of the camera.I'm not 100% sure, but my recollection was that the Rouge Coco lipsticks were $37 or $38 and the post says these will be $32 Canadian. In other words, a substantial reduction. I'm guessing it'll actually be $42.
Over the last 8 years, from 2007 when I bought my first Chanel lipstick, the lipstick has increased by S$5 to S$45 (since I last checked in Dec) today. I certainly hope there is a drop, because I can't understand how the 12.5% price increase can be justified.

I agree, but I'm wondering if that's really the case or just the lighting/swatches.From looking at the swatches 434-mademoiselle looks much more pink toned than the original. Which happily might work out better for me, the original can pull a little orange/terracotta on me.
I'm trying to cut down from 4 to 2, myself.That's right. Arthur was the name of my cat who we had to put down a little over a year ago. He was with me fifteen years and there is no way I'm not getting that lipstick. The purple looks intriguing as well... I'm going to try not to go too nuts with the lipsticks (stop laughing).
You know they really have problems with the IdOs. More times than not, no matter where I order one from including chanel.com, I get a hockey puck. One time chanel.com sent me 2 replacements and still they were hockey pucks. Since I was planning to give it as a gift to a friend I gave up and sent all 3 back. Even if I would have been willing to overlook the appearance I felt like it wasn't presentable as a gift.I stopped by to exchange my Chanel IDO today, and saw the new RC testers behind the counter, like in those swatch pictures above. My usual SA wasn't there, and the one that was there was the SA who is a bit more colder in personality and makes me a little uncomfortable. (She was trying to get me to keep my IDO that I purchased, opened that day at home, and saw it was much drier and shriveled up than my other one. She insisted that it was fine, I just needed to squish it back in the glass jar. Uh, no. If I am not satisfied with my product... and it's noticeably different from the other one I bought on the same day... I would like an exchange.) So I didn't ask to play with the testers. I guess I'll just have to wait on that!
I have two TF blushes coming via Fedex Smart Post. When I originally ordered on Friday the 16th, it told me it wouldn't be delivered until the 28th. I got a shipping notification the 17th, and now my tracking says it will be delivered this Friday the 23rd. A lot better than they originally told me! Maybe that's just like a last resort estimate so people don't say their shipment didn't arrive on time.I would love to order it but my last Saks order took over 10 days to arrive via with FedEx Smart Post and they told me (no idea how true it is) that's their standard free shipping method now.

I live in Seattle and it always takes that long for Saks or Bloomingdales. Nordstrom is just as bad because even though the Flagship is here in Seattle, the warehouses are back East. I do purchase from Saks sometimes just because we have a high sales tax here and I escape that by purchasing through themI would love to order it but my last Saks order took over 10 days to arrive via FedEx Smart Post and they told me (no idea how true it is) that's their standard free shipping method now.

I think it is pre-selected because I spy a white box (in the 3rd instagram pic) in the size of the white pouch with the transparent sealing film. The sets I saw previously with the free pouch came like that too. And the 5 RC could be the sample that @delicatewhimsy received! Looking at the sample pack and comparing with the 5 bullets of lipsticks..Do you reckon a pre-selected set of 5 or your choice of 5 as a set?
