Clionadh Deep Sea Treasures Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Deep Sea Treasures
Clionadh Deep Sea Treasures 8-Pan Multichrome Eyeshadow Palette ($95.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new release that features eight different multichrome eyeshadows in one palette, which is why it has such a high price point–it’s not a bad price point relative to purchasing multichrome shades from the brand individually. I also felt like the range of bases used along with the shifts was a good mix within the palette.
I think it’s a nice option for someone who is newer to multichromes, but if you have a pretty well-rounded stash, you may find there’s not enough difference across all eight shades to justify the price point. It’s no surprise that all eight shades performed well; they were pigmented, smooth, and easy to work with. I only had minor difficulty with one shade (Ring of Fire), which was more sparkly so it had a bit of fallout and wasn’t as finely-milled as other shades.

These look so magical!!
These simply are the most beautiful shadows
What an absolutely stunning palette! Every single shade is a winner and I think it’s one of the best we’ve seen, so far, this year.
July’s (hopefully?) little treat to myself! So much $’s, but also, so VERY worth it for someone who will be able to get tons of use from it and for whom multichromes look good on. Personally? I’m in total love with all the shades and their different shifts!
I bought the bundle with the nail polishes and it is so beautiful. Easily my favorite purchase of the year so far. I was so impressed with the quality and attention to detail, I sent the company a personal message on Instagram lol. It’s just rare for me to see a truly stunning palette that was clearly made with a lot of care.
If you can, I highly recommend this, especially with the nail polishes.
It’s gorgeous. Maybe one day I will pick it up but I still feel okay passing on it for now.
No question these are gorgeous and perform really well too. I don’t have a single multi-chrome shadow from any company but that price is awfully steep for what, for me, would never be a “stand alone” palette (nor was it meant to be).
Makes me wish I were 25 again (and that’s the only reason, lol.) Obvi, this is a varied collection of drop dead gorgeous multichromes. I think the palette is fairly priced, considering the plusses. Shade range, all in one place, quality, performance…. This has it all. Even at 25, metallics looked pretty garish on me personally, so even then I likely would not pop for this beauty. Envy those who use it.
I don’t really own any multichromes, and have been a bit intimidated by how extensive Clionadh’s collection is, so this may be a great way to jump in! I just wonder how much use I might get out of it.
I just got this palette yesterday, and oh boy – it’s absolutely magical. I’m yet to see all the shades in action, but the ones I have tried already perform really well. I am a huge lover of multichromes and have no problem wearing them daily, even on their own, but they can easily be paired with a matching matte palette (I use Natasha Denona’s Triochrome, as the shades match really well, but there are certainly other great options out there too).
I can definitely recommend it – and the price point seems fair to me, considering the quality.
