Chanel Les Beiges 2019 Les Indispensables palette

Where do i start?

This palette has been highly anticipated by the beauty community for a while before it officially launched in the end of April. It boasts to be the best neutral browns palette of the year. And i am a brown bronzy look lover.

The palette costs RM364 and is the most pricey palette i own to date.

Am i happy with it? Yes. Is it my ride or die, one and only palette, can't live with out it kinda palette...urm to be honest no. But no regrets.

The palette comes in a typical les beiges cream colored casing with a black colored CC.  The palette is mostly cool neutral browns and greyish taupe. The light colors are beautiful shimmers with no glitter particles seen. Then only thing i wish is that they had added a creamy matte cream shade for laying the base or highlighting the brow bone or to soften the browns and 1 warmish mid toned brown.

The browns are super pigmented. No kick up what so ever. In fact some of the shades even feel gel like. The staying power of these shadows are superb with or without eyeshadow primer.

Overall, i am happy with this palette. Can't wait to see what Chanel has to offer for Les Beiges 2020 next year. Well done Chanel for this launch. It tuly is special.

Could this be a dupe for the Chanel Legerete Et Experience Palette?

I've been playing around with my eyeshadow collection and identifying what i reach for the most and i came across how similar some of my Korean individual eyeshadow shades are to my Chanel palette.

Everytime i used the BBIA shadows, i find i tend to create the same if not similar looks i achieved with the Chanel one. Then i got the idea to swatch them side by side. Of course i didnt have the peachy shade on the top left of the palette but usually i hardly use that one on its own. Rather  i would mix the two top colors to create a more subtle creamy peach.

Texture wise, this Chanel palette is super creamy buttery matte and pigmented. As for the BBIA individual shadow  they are more of a slight sateen leaning towards matte and are also super creamy buttery but slightly less pigmented (which is not always bad).

The BBIA shadows i bought from an online store called sky007malaysia. The makeup is almost always on discount which is awesome. Originally priced at RM22.90  i bought them for RM17.70 each after discount. What a bargain. Not only is it a bargain, i get to pick and choose the shades i like.

As for the Chanel palette  it was limited edition and i'm not too sure if its still available. It was priced at RM245. If in any case you missed the boat  fret not. Get the BBIA shadows instead.

Till next time. Toodles and much love ❤
