\"\"<\/a>
\nA couple of days ago I already showed you my new obsession: Chanel’s limited edition “Malice”<\/a> nail polish. A smoldering sexy dark burgundy with ruby red shimmer.<\/p>\n

But when I bought “Malice<\/em>” I just couldn’t pass on Chanel’s new eyeshadow quad called “Harmonie du Soir”. A beautiful palette filled with the perfect shades for Fall and Winter.
\n
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nI love the color combination Chanel went for with this quad. However why, Chanel, was there not one matte shade in this? This quad would’ve been perfection with it!<\/p>\n

The colors in this quad are beautiful and compliment one another beautifully.
\nI do feel like pigmentation with the gold<\/em> and especially light pink<\/em> are not 100% there.
\nWhen swatched with fingers you’re like: “WOW! This is going to be amazing!”<\/em>
\nBut once applied to the eyes with a brush all I could think was: “Muhhhehhheeeeh :(“<\/em><\/p>\n

I think if you put a more sticky base underneath (think: NYX Jumbo Pencil “Milk”<\/em>)
\nthe gold and light pink will really pop. But come on, we’re talking Chanel here!
\nYou shouldn’t have to get another product to make it work.<\/p>\n

Here’s a little look I created with this palette:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI definitely like the outcome, but I missed a matte shade in this.<\/p>\n

For this look I also used another product from the Holiday collection: Chanel’s Long Lasting Eyeliner in “Grenat”($30,00 USD)<\/em> – A beautiful deep burgundy\/red that really stays on for hours. I swatched it on my hand at the Chanel counter and the morning after it was still on!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nSo, What\u2019s the verdict?<\/em>
\nI’m kinda torn up between loving and really disliking this. I love the color combination, the shimmery texture of these shadows and the wealthy feel this quad has.<\/p>\n

I just wish Chanel added a matte shade to this. I also feel like the light pink could be much more pigmented. As I said: I don’t feel like with a brand as Chanel you need something to make colors pop. This quad retails for $65,00 USD<\/em> – So I feel like everything should be A+<\/p>\n

Chanel is available at Nordstrom<\/a>, Chanel.com<\/a> and Dutch Department Stores.<\/p>\n
