Empreinte du Desert

By Mariella 8 years ago.

I liked the look of this as soon as I saw it here, in Christine's review, but at this steep price, I had to check it out in store before making my decision. It's a really lovely combination of shades for summer. I think my favourite is the 4th shade, which applies on me as a cool toned smoky brown. But all 4 shades are lovely. I wore this the other night to a Sephora private event and 2 SAs commented on how much they liked the shadows I was wearing (I was dismayed to have to tell them it was a brand Sephora doesn't carry). The top left shade, which I found initially disappointing as it didn't seem to show up on me, actually works beautifully and the faded, watery green is just gorgeous. While this is a summer 2016 release, this quad will work beautifully in the autumn. I find the Chanel shadow quads are generally "travel friendly" but I make it a point to keep the plastic protective inserts that come with these as an added level of "protection" if I take them travelling.
