Review: Makeup: Kanebo Coffret D’or 3D Lighting Eyes Eyeshadow palette

January 28, 2008 Paris B 13 Comments

This is my review of the Kanebo Coffret D’or eyeshadow palette with color swatches. Coffret D’or is a new line of cosmetics launched by Kanebo to replace T’estimo and Revue. Coffret D’or will have base makeup and colour or point makeup which is more comprehensive when taken in totality than when taken separately.

I tried making enquiries here in Malaysia about when Coffret D’or would be brought in but got no positive response. So, I decided to purchase the Coffret D’or 3D Lighting Eyes palette online to see if I’d like it. This is Coffret D’or’s first eyeshadow colour (there are no singles at this time).

I went for 02 – Fresh. It is a blue-y palette and grabbed my attention more than the other colours. I felt that the other colours looked a bit too boring or were colours I can’t wear.

And here’s my review on the Coffret D’or 3D Lighting Eyes palette.

I found that the picture taken on my camera phone gave it a more true to life colour than my camera did. Yes, the colours are light and less vibrant than what you see on the website. They are however, shimmery. So, if you can’t wear shimmer or don’t like shimmer, this palette is not for you.

I however, like shimmer so I was pleased. The texture of the eyeshadows are very smooth and fine. I liked that, because in contrast to T’estimo (which I love) the texture feels much better. Only the dark blue felt a little gritty compared to the other colours.

The Fresh palette consists of:

  • Base shade (left) – light blue-green with metallic shimmer
  • Contrast shade (middle) – light green with touch of blue with metallic shimmer
  • Lining and contour shade (right) – dark navy blue with shimmer
  • Highlight shade (top) – 2 shades of white for highlighting

IMG_7240I find that the color of the 2 base and contrast shades to be on the sheer side which is quite consistent with most Japanese cosmetics. The dark navy blue is very pigmented however and goes on a little more matt than it looks. So, if you like strong pigmented colours then you might want to give this a miss.

However, what I really liked was that the shimmer made up for the lack of strong colour. Once layered over each other, the colours do take on a 3D effect and it looks lovely on the eye. I liked that the blues did not look so strong on as to channel the 80’s effect. I also liked the highlight shades in particular because when I swiped it over my eye it evened out all the colours and gave a nice polished effect.

All in all, I’d say that this palette has surprised me because I wasn’t expecting to like it, but I did. The colours were sheer enough and shimmery enough just so its not over done. I’m now thinking about getting the purple palette 04 (review by PJ) because the sheerness of the colour means I might be able to pull off purple when I can’t usually do so.

What I did not like in particular was the case. The case has a metallic cover with a pink “jewel” insert. I found that the highly shiny surface attracts fingerprints like nobody’s business so it ends up looking grubby after a while. Inside is a large mirror and it comes with 2 dual ended applicators.

I got my Coffret D’or palette online for US$33. Worth the price? Yes, I think so.

Pros: Sheer, shimmery, nice highlighting shades

Cons: Not yet available worldwide, sheer, metal cover gets messy too easily

    i wonder if they have a similar version in their KATE line. perhaps the price would be cheaper. this one kinda expensive ler….

    PB says: There was something similar in KATE (highlighter) Let me find a pic of mine. But the quality is far far better! Actually, its not very expensive when compared to T’estimo – about the same price.

      Hi Lazeny

      02- Fresh is quite cool. You sound like you have a warmish complexion. If you can handle cool colours you can handle this else it might not be such a good choice. Hope this helps.

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
