CHANEL Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow


As a part of their eyeshadow range, Chanel have a collection of individually packaged shadows that come in a great variety of shades. The two featured here have since made their way into the Chanel holiday 2011 collection which is available on the counter now. These two have a particularly festive and warm appeal to them and are gorgeous for creating a festive party look.

The shadows are well pigmented and blend brilliantly because the shadows are finely milled to create the soft and velvety feel of them. I found that because of this, a lot of product gathers on the brush so a little goes a long way with this product, so I find myself tapping off excess shadow otherwise it would shed down my face!

They are beautifully packaged in the classic Chanel style which is sleek and sophisticated, the product itself is quite small and the packaging is compact, yet they have made it bigger than the product which enables a perfect sized mirror to be put in place which is always handy. The range of the shadows is quite large for Chanel and because of this are available in iridescent, matte or satin effects so there is plenty to choose from. The two here are both beautifully shimmery and eye-catching, a perfect choice for the holiday collection.

The shadows are very luxurious and are quite expensive considering you are only purchasing a single shadow, but you do get the sophistication and beauty that is Chanel. Perhaps that is a strong enough allure....
