REVIEW: Chanel Les Ombres Quadra eye shadow palette.

Hello everyone.
I seem to be having a huge love for Chanel beauty products at the moment! I went in to the gorgeous Covent Garden pop up beauty store ( which was beautiful! ) and picked up this beauty.




Inside the box the palette comes in a gorgeous velvet pouch to protect it.


I decided out of all the palettes to go to this one as most of the shades are semi matte and very wearable. From the top left there is a gorgeous shade of chocolate brown, it has very fine shimmer to it making it a gorgeous colour for all over the lid. Next to it we have a pinky toned off white colour, perfect for brightening the inner corner of the eye. On the next left we have a golden champagne colour, this is another great one for a lid colour. Then lastly we have the charcoal black colour, perfect for in the crease or blended on the edge of the eye. All the last 3 colours are semi matte. Also in the palette you get a large mirror at the top & two sponge tip applicators ( which we all know are quite rubbish! ).


These are light swatches of all the shadows without a primer, and as you can see the colours are pretty well pigmented even with a quick swipe! ( Sorry for my dirty looking hand! I had terribly worn off fake tan! ) These shadows last all day on my eyes even without a primer, although I do get a bit of creasing but that is usually due to my eye shape. )

I'd say if you are interested in this palette, go for it! It is incredibly beautiful and worth the hefty price if you are looking for high end eye shadows ( Palette is £38 ). The only thing I'd say is that the colours are probably very easy to dupe with mac shadows or even drug store ones. I'd say it is worth the money, if that is what you're looking for and I only use it on special occasions!

Thanks for reading! :)
