Happy Friday sloth-lovers! Today I am continuing the
Chanel Les Sautoirs de Coco Collection review with some swatches of the compact color makeups, including the much coveted
Perles et Fantaisies Illuminating Powder ($76 CAD). To see the swatches and my thoughts on the formulation, click.......

Perles et Fantaisies Illuminating Powder ($76 CAD):
The star of the collection, this highlighting powder features the most darling pearl necklace design. The compact is divided into two halves: a shimmery white pearl and a shimmery sheer pink. Both shades are finely milled with a soft and smooth texture; the white is quite pigmented while the pink is noticeably sheerer. When blended together the two gives a subtle cool-tone glow to the skin. I apologize for my not-so-stellar swatches, I tried to swatch the two shades as best as I can but I really didn't want to ruin the exquisite design.

Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in "258 Tissé Ombre de Lune" ($68 CAD):
A very elegant and sophisticated eyeshadow quad, "258 Tissé Ombre de Lune" comes with four very shimmery baked shadows; you get an opalescent pearl, a warm neutral peach, a silvery grey, and a dark black with silver sparkles. The formulation for all four shades are impressively pigmented; the texture is slightly dry and fall-out prone but they will perform very well as long as they are paired with a good eyeshadow base.

Le Blush Crème Cream Blush in "82 Rose Perlé" ($45 CAD):
A neutral baby pink with just the slightest hint of pearl shimmers, "82 Rose Perlé" is a gorgeous cream blush. Housed in a small black compact, the blush has a creamy yet slightly thick, putty-like texture. A dabbing motion works best for application as the cream blush is slightly tacky and not easily blendable. However, the wear is phenomenal! Most cream blushes wear off on me within three or four hours but this shade stayed on all day with only a slight bit of fading.
