As a *HUGE* fan of the Chanel cream blushes, I couldn't pass up on any of their Spring 2014 blush offerings. I think their cream blushes are the best I've come across, particularly in terms of colour pay-off, texture, ease of application and longevity (they are extremely long lasting - these stay on my combination skin from when I put it on to whenever I take it off - usually just before bed time). It blends so well that you can't see the product sitting on the skin - it looks seamless.
Packaging
Packaging-wise, they cream blushes come in the signature sleek, black lacquer compacts with the white Chanel logo. They're very lightweight and convenient to carry. These are smaller in size to the Chanel powder blushes (Joues Contraste) - see image comparison here. There are no applicators included and just as well because I find the best way to apply these is with a clean finger. :) A mirror is also included. I much prefer the overall convenience of the Chanel packaging than a lot of other cream blushes that come in the heavy, glass pot (e.g., Dior's) with separate lids and no mirror.

67 Chamade
Chamade is simply described as a "deep pink" - a deep, red-toned pink. Of the two, I'd say 'Chamade' is the most natural cheek colour (the amount of colour you put on will depend upon how deep your skin tone is), just because it has a red undertone and mimics how our cheeks flush when we blush, or when we've been out in the cold, or out in the sun.
Chamade is great paired with other red-toned pink lipsticks, neutral to cool-toned red lipsticks, or even deeper, bold berry reds! Otherwise, just a nude/natural lip colour to balance this rather strong cheek colour (just depends how much you want to apply). Among my faves to pair this with are: Rouge Coco Shine (Hydrating Sheer Lipshine) in Bohème (91), Nars 'Dressed to Kill' Lipstick and Burberry Lip Velvet in 'Bright Poppy' (No.311).

69 Intonation
This described as a "warm rose" - but definitely appears more of a peachy pink to me! Of the two spring blushes, this is the limited edition shade.
Swatches
All swatches were applied on my olive, tanned skin (~NC35) and photographed indoors using a strobe.
To see how these compare with a couple of other Chanel Cream Blushes (in Revelation and Fantastic), click here for swatches of those.
Finish
Both shades like the rest of the Chanel cream blushes have a semi-matte to matte finish.
Verdict
Both beautiful. You can't go wrong with either...or in my case, both. *grin* However, if I had to choose just one, I'd pick 'Chamade' just because it's a bit more flattering on my skin tone and I don't think I have quite like it in my collection whereas, I do own several peach-toned blushes already. I recommend 'Intonation' if you have pale creamy, warm skin tone as "peaches and cream" were made for each other after all. ;) 'Chamade' will be especially flattering for olive, medium to darker skin tone - but I think this is the more universal shade of the two, so anyone can wear it.
Hope this was helpful.
