^^Thanks for your swatches!  What did you think of the Coco Shines Shontay?    I also have 2 glossimers -- Eden and Envolee in my cart.  I was wondering about one of the RCS -- Pygmalion.  It looks like a reddish pink online -- but I haven't seen many swatches.   I find myself drawn to that LE quad -- I wish it wasn't baked. 
That Rouge Coco I swatched. It's at the bottom of my hand under the blue and pink shadow sticks. It's a pretty color. It's like strawberry, a pinky red. It can be built up to a degree, but I didn't feel like I needed it, personally. I didn't swatch the other two. One seemed to be clear like a lip balm. Did that belong there or was it a substitution? I don't even know. I didn't swatch the sparkly glossimer, but I did swatch the bright pink one and it was beyond sheer. I guess you're supposed to layer it over Pygmalion, but I still think it's pretty pointless. Sorry I don't know all the names. This collection took me by surprise.

I am sad the bright pink glossimer is so sheer -- bummer. Maybe I will go ahead and get Pygmalion since that has more pigment than the glossimer. The shadow sticks look gorgeous on your hand! Can't wait to see some looks you do with them.

Found this photo of the quad...seems different from the pic on chanel.com....

I am going to be so hopping mad if the quad looks more like the one in the blog than the photo Chanel has posted on their site :|

Thank you for the link. I like the quad on the Chanel site but would definately pass if it looks like the blog pic. What to do?

I thinkkk it might look like the blog pic more than the one on the Chanel site. I ordered earlier on in the day, before I saw the blog photo...:(

If you can wait, hang on until I get the quad I will update here. I read on the comments over at Temptalia that she bought the entire collection so I guess the reviews should be up over there by Monday/Tuesday...

Hmmm. Thanks Rads. Maybe there is still hope because even Azure looks washed out in those blog pics, doesn't it?

The collection is on chanel.com now too, along with that blue/teal/green (?) baked es quad, but it looks like the stylo shadows are backordered?

Didn't we see swatches of this quad posted somewhere? I can't find that post now....
Yes, I thought we did. I remember that I really liked it. I need to see the swatches again.

Is the stylo the liner or shadows...better go look again. I want Moon River ;)

That's true..it might just be the light reflecting off the those shadows! Like Haven said, let's just hope..:D
