I'm not one to really drool over an eyeshadow let alone an eyeshadow palette.
I don't always venture out into eye make up any more than mascara and if I do, I normally stick to super safe colours.
Eyeshadows have never been my go-to products on a make up counter, I'm definitely more of a base and lipstick girl but the way I feel about this product means there is something very special about it.
The Clarins Odyssey Eye Quartet Mineral Palette* is honestly, currently my favourite thing in my make up collection. It is the most beautiful thing and I am so quick to show it off to everyone, I mean look at it!
It's made up of four shades and two applicators. Now the applicators are extremely pretty, as is the rest of the palette but to be honest I probably won't get much use out of them. The eyeshadows on the other hand, well.
They can be used both wet and dry and though I haven't tried it wet yet, I imagine that Gold leaf highlight beauty will apply to the eye like a dream, just as it already does dry. A little touch of that in the inner corner, placed somewhere within your smoky eye or even applied like an eyeliner is simply stunning. I've never felt such a soft, creamy, glittery bit of goodness like it. The other shades, are more "normal" and are a gorgeous mix of Brown, Bronze and Taupe and work both together or alone to create a beautiful look.
The packaging of this quad is probably what makes this product that little bit more special. It's a Gold, shiny, delicate, classy handful of make up and in or out of the little Red pouch it is a dream to have in your make up bag.
This Clarins palette is apart of the limited edition Christmas Odyssey Collection and is available now for £30, which is quite pricey but if you're into eyeshadow or if you're a sucker for lovely packaging as I am, then I highly recommend this.
What do you think? What kind of look would you go for with this?

this is beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I don't tend to shell out on higher end eyeshadows - MAC and Urban Decay don't really count, and besides that I only have an Estee Lauder duo my Mum got from duty free. This is too beautiful to resist though, but I think I'll have to add it to my premature Christmas list x
ReplyDeletewow the packaging is amazinggg!
ReplyDeletethe gold shade as well looks great quality!

This is probably the prettiest palette I have ever seen. It's kind-of tempted me get it. I am definitely going to have a look at it next time I'm at a Clarins counter :) x x
ReplyDeleteI drool over this every day! Every shade is amazing

I really need to get one of these!

This looks so amazing but the price really puts me off - £30 for just 4 shadows, ouch! I do like every shade in the palette though, which for me is rare, so picky! x
