I don't see these very often around the blogosphere, and I wonder why that is? I find them very easy to use, and 60: Sand (on the right)is very often my default eyeshadow for applying a slick of over the lid for those "can't be bothered" days. If I want something a bit more sludgy, then I'll pop a little of 100 Torrent over the mobile lid too, and blend them both together. There is a doe-foot applicator in the bottle, and they have a tendency to settle if you leave them alone for a day or two. It's easily remedied though, just give them a shake, and the ball-bearing in the bottle will re-mix them for you. They're basically a pigment in a water base, which means they're very cooling to apply, and leave a good depth of colour behind.
These aren't quite as budgeproof as the shadows I showed you yesterday, but they do stay put with a minimum of creasing, without a base, for around 10 hours, which is great. They do contain shimmer though, so if you're looking for a matte finish, they're probably not the shadows for you. Here's how they swatch:
One word of advice, they do dry very fast, so blend as quickly as you can! What's your default makeup for those "can't be bothered" days?
The Fine Print: Yup, bought these too. Man, I love me some Chanel. Wanna see my whole collection?
These look gorgeous, and I would love to see your entire Chanel collection! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I use on my eyes for those can't be bothered days! I forget the color names that I have but one is a peachy metallic like MAC Jest and the other a champagne metallic. I love them both and need more! Great review!
ReplyDeleteOoh, they looks lovely and so so pigmented.
ReplyDeletea very pretty velvet green eyeliner is my default day make up.
ReplyDeleteSand IS my default. I have been through millions of them over the yeas. I adore it.
ReplyDeleteI blogged a while back on it, and a Miss Sporty colour dupe for it. I love the texture of the Ombre D'Eau though.
The whole water-y base thing makes them sound like theyre a dream to work with :D
ReplyDeleteI like the look of these! My default eye look is rapidly becoming Benefits Creaseless cream in skiny jeans smoked out with a neutral lip and eye...
ReplyDeleteI had a couple of these a while ago and I just didn't love them. They were pretty, nice to apply, but too much effort to layer up to an opaque finish in my opinion, and I eventually swapped them away. Packaging was lovely though!
