Chanel Holiday 2023 Color Collection Swatches
Chanel Holiday 2023 Color Collection is a short ‘n’ sweet collection featuring a few lip products along with an eyeshadow palette and highlighter.
As it is taking me longer to push out full reviews, I’m going to try to offer some initial thoughts when I feel fairly confident about those impressions (e.g. I have experience with the formula/brand that it feels pretty routine!). In this case, the highlighter is lovely but one of the more glittery releases from the brand so those who do not like larger particles should skip. The eyeshadow palette seems decent enough but not the best texture (slightly drier/frostier) that I’ve seen from Chanel.
Here are swatches of the products I purchased!
The only piece I see that I really do love the looks of is the Fancy Prune liquid lipstick. The rest is ‘meh’.
No surprise that the eyeshadow palette made my neutrals loving heart beat a little faster but given the difficulty of getting Chanel colour cosmetics near me, Iām actually happy that this doesnāt seem to be a must have.
I like the coiour story of the palette – but overall I think the swatches show that shades 4 & 5 underpigmented and I wish they were a little more vibrant or of a stronger colour, if you know what I mean.
Fancy Prune is a beautiful lip gloss shade. It will be interesting to see how all of this rates. Chanel can be a bit up and down with their products, despite the expensive price tag.
Well, this is a quandary. I was leaning towards getting this palette and the Fancy Prune lipstick for the holiday season but I rather assumed the palette would be of the same quality as recent shadows but it sounds like it has fallen short of the mark. I do like the shades and they are neutral enough to be used quite a lot both during the holiday season and after. I have no interest in the highlighter. It looks like the lipstick might be nice. Now I await an idea of the Tom Ford e/s palette before buying.
Best release of the season. Glad they rereleased the eye palette or made one similar. Iām very happy with this as opposed to Pat McGrath which aside from taking 3 weeks to ship I wish I never ordered.
The eyeshadows look nice, I think it’s a nice selection of colours. That said I have dupes for all the shades or at least shades that are close enough.
I kind of like Fancy Prune, but I like the swatch better than the lip swatch.
