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 ❤

Chanel Les 4 Ombres Legerete Et Experience

2018 is nearing its end. With just 2 months to go before new year. Usually, holiday sets and limited edition items come out in November, but somehow i feel that companies are putting out these items quicker than usual.

Got a heads up from my good friend Miko at Chanel Sunway Pyramid about the 2018 holiday collections. As i scrolled down the pictures she sent me, my heart immediately skipped a beat when i saw this beautiful palette. I have always wanted to get the Candeur et experience which has 3 browns and a red. Also was intrigued by this years fall quad which is the Clair obscur but didnt feel the urgency to get it in the end. But this palette right here is something else.

To be honest, before i actually saw it in person, i had assumed that it was not going to be very pigmented and hard to work with.  Even swatching it on the back of my hand does not give it justice as to how it performs on the eyes. The quad was superb on the eyes! Not only were the colors pigmented, but the combination of all 4 colors i could get away with without it looking muddy. In fact the peachy hues make it so wearable and youthful. I could still create a vampy look with the colors. And looking at the particular red, its really a beautiful brick red which i find very popular amongst brands this year especially in Korean beauty.

Anyway, this is my first Chanel quad ever and no regrets. Hope you enjoy the pictures and if its available, do grab one. Its a great addition to any makeup collectors ever growing collection with the rare red colored CC's on the casing. The box itself is something i wouldnt want to throw away.

Its priced at RM245 at all Chanel counters and stores in Malaysia.
