Chanel Oiseaux de Nuit Eyeshadow Palette ($80.00 for 0.26 oz.) contains five shades that range from a gradiant that goes from white to black with a pop of gold thrown in. It was so close to being a really cool-toned palette, so I wish they hadn’t included a gold. I also think it is harder to incorporate the gold shade with the others for two reasons: the tone and vibrancy is out of sync with the other four, but the texture is denser/thicker, while the others were thinner, so they didn’t blend together well. The palette has a very soft consistency that is powdery, and with the thinner texture, it also feels almost dry at times, which makes it problematic to apply to the skin without something extra (like a primer or tacky base). For the price point, I expected something stellar, and instead, I was pretty disappointed.

As a heads up, Nordstrom has it for $70, but other retailers are listing it for $80. (I bought mine at Nordstrom, so my order did process and that’s what I paid.) I don’t have a press release yet, but since all other retails are showing it at $80, I would guess that’s the correct price.

Oiseaux de Nuit #1 is a cool-toned, medium white with a soft, frosted finish. It had good color payoff with only a slight powderiness to its texture. The color lasted for eight hours applied. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Oiseaux de Nuit #2 is a muted, grayed lilac with a frosted, lightly metallic, finish. It had decent pigmentation, but the texture was powdery and little dry. I liked it better used with a damp brush, as it held together better. It lasted for eight hours on the lid. See comparison swatches/ view dupes side-by-side.

Oiseaux de Nuit #3 is a blackened purple with subtle, cool undertones and a satin shimmer. It had very sheer color payoff, and the texture was dry and powdery to work with. It lasted for seven and a half hours applied to the skin. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Oiseaux de Nuit #4 is a medium-dark black with a satin finish. It had good pigmentation, and the texture wasn’t powdery, but it could have been more blendable. It wore well for eight hours before fading. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Oiseaux de Nuit #5 is a darkened gold with warm undertones and a soft, frosted finish. It had a lightly powdery texture, but it had decent color coverage. On the lid, it showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
