I haven’t gone to look at Chanel stuff for a while and when I did recently, I suddenly found myself walking away with this eyeshadow palette. I’m not quite sure what happened. I might have been under a spell 🙂
“This” is the Chanel Ombres Matelassées eyeshadow palette in 51 Montaigne.
Maybe having some vouchers to offset the price helped with the spell somewhat 🙂 I picked this up from the Chanel counter at the new Isetan KLCC Beauty Hall during their opening day where I was told that it was sold only for that weekend. After that, it would be taken off the shelves until its launch in April. Well, that’s all the info I have so if you are keen on this palette, I’d suggest you check with your Chanel counter to see when they get it in 🙂
Based on the promo image, I wasn’t too thrilled with this palette. It looked like any other gold toned eyeshadow palette out there and I was concerned that the texture of the shadows would be that creamy texture similar to the Ombres Pearles which I don’t mind but am not crazy about. Truth to tell, I have been very underwhelmed by Chanel eyeshadows and only the singles elicit any sort of interest in me. The rest, and the quads, I can do without. Owned them and got rid of them just as quickly. However, this palette was different. The minute I swatched it, I knew it had to go home with me 🙂
