The first time I set eyes on the Chanel Travel Diary collection was at the #MWS10 event<\/a>. I was however, too busy running round to really pay attention. I did however, file one eyeshadow palette away in my head as one “to check out”. It was, without surprise, the very neutral City Lights eyeshadow palette<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During the event however, I noticed many of the girls trying out the new Chanel\u00a0Road Movie eyeshadow palette<\/strong>, and they looked stunning! However, when I was actually faced with the palette at first, I was a little taken aback.<\/p>\n

The bright teal in the top left corner was throwing me for a loop. Having shied away from using colours like these for a while (I’m playing very safe in my dotage \ud83d\ude1b ) I was not sure if I was brave enough to try it. However, when I eventually did dip my brush into the palette, I realised that it was, at its heart, a neutral coloured palette. The teal adds a pop of colour, or shade, but for the most part, it is supremely wearable, and quickly entered daily rotation.<\/p>\n

While the Chanel Travel Diary collection puts at forefront the Palette Essentialle face palette, with the concealer, highlighter and blush, I’m unfortunately not sold on that one. It’s a good concept, if you like carrying your makeup around, and if you can find a shade that suits you, that you might like. While the concept fits right in with a collection conceptualised around travel, it is, I feel, not a product that will appeal to many.<\/p>\n

My pick from the Chanel Travel Diary collection therefore, is this eyeshadow palette, because I think it’s unique enough, yet practical enough to serve you well with different looks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Chanel Road Movie eyeshadow palette are 2 shimmer shades, and 2 matte satin shades. I feel that it is the matte satin colours that really make this palette what it is – a very wearable and easy to wear palette.<\/p>\n

The top two shades are shimmer shades, with a very fine textured shimmer without a hint of glitter. All they do is add that touch of shine to your lid, to give it a lovely 3D effect. The 2 shades at the bottom are satin matte and feel drier when swatched with fingers, but when you use a brush, they apply and blend beautifully on the lid.<\/p>\n

In case anyone missed it, this is the post-2014 Chanel eyeshadow formula<\/a>, which has blown me away every single time. Previous formulas were crap. I owned 2 palettes and they were so bad with no colour pay off and chunky glitter all over the place. But post 2014, they are now well pigmented, blend beautifully and have graduated to a finely textured shimmer. I’ve loved every palette since. Well, most of them anyway LOL \ud83d\ude00 And I freely admit to being a little biased in their favour unless proven wrong.<\/p>\n
