Chanel Les 4 Ombres - 39 Raffinement

Hello Lovelies 

The Chanel 2013 Spring collection 'Printemps Precieux'
 was released just before Christmas last year so excuse me if this review is a little late as i didn't purchase this till late January.

And It's taken my a while to review this particular product.


Take a moment to admire the packaging...



The colours are simply gorgeous! Very subtle and easy to pull off.

There's a Rich mauve, a pearly pink beige, a shimmering lilac and a deep eggplant. Shades which would flatter the majority of skin types and in particular more mature eyes. 


The palette is also very easy to use and you don't need that much product to achieve your desired look


As much as I wanted to love this product and rave about it I can't. I found there wasn't much staying power with the eyeshadows (if you don't use eyeshadow primer they will last around 3 hours) and I don't have oily eyelids. Mine are as dry as a bone!

The shadows are also rather powdery?! I haven't bought an eyeshadow quad from Chanel before so I'm not entirely sure if that is normal.

I normally adore Chanel but I still am unsure how I really feel about this product. It certainly looks amazing but It just doesn't last long enough on my eyelids for me to love it.


You could probably find dupes for all these shadows by MAC but at a higher price.

However you get certain things with Chanel. You get ease of use and shadows that don’t suffer from fallout. You also get to feel elegant and pampered in ways that you don’t always get from other brands. *Le sigh*


Have you tried anything from the Chanel spring 2013 collection?
What are your thought's on the eyeshadow quad?

As ever thank you for reading
