Small Chanel & Coast To Coast Haul
Chanel just launched its "Collection Les Perles de Chanel" collection at all the counters in Singapore this week. The star product is the Ombres Perlées de Chanel palette (S$91).
The palette has received almost universally positive reviews by several beauty blogs and it's easy to see why when you swatch the shades. The five powder eyeshadows have a surprisingly creamy texture and an elegant luminosity, inspired by pearls from all over the world. The shimmer is very refined and delicate.
The first two ingredients listed are dimethicone and dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, which explains the silicone-y texture that just glides onto the skin without any loose powdery bits flying all over the place. Even without a base, all five shades swatched very well.
I haven't purchased anything from Chanel for over a year and to be honest, my small Chanel collection rarely sees the light of day. Nevertheless, the Ombres Perlées palette was just too unique to pass up, compared to the eyeshadow palettes that Chanel usually releases. It was the complex wine burgundy shade in the middle of the palette that sealed the deal for me. After comparing it with the Shu Uemura Morphorium Blue Eye & Cheek Palette at Tangs Vivocity, I decided that Ombres Perlées was more worthwhile as all the shades have an excellent texture unlike the Shu palette, which is quite a bit more expensive at S$115.
This being Chanel, my guess is that it will fly off the shelves pretty quickly so don't wait too long if you like it!
I also stopped by the Coast To Coast store as I had a $10 voucher to use. Coast To Coast is currently having a storewide 20% discount off regular-priced items, with an additional 10% off for members. I decided to get the Rainforest Invigorating Body Exfoliant. This usually retails at S$43 but I paid only S$20.96.
The crushed walnut shells provide a thorough scrubbing action and left my skin feeling very soft and smooth. Although the scrub contains organic rose hip oil, it doesn't have a heavy rose scent. Instead, it smells like a refreshing sweet lemon sherbet to me. Very yummy!
Here's the ingredients list.
