Chanel Quad Eyeshadow in Bleu Celestes

Dec 302007

This compact is everything you would expect from the house of Chanel.

I purchased mine at Nordstrom, but you can find it online (with a video!) on Chanel’s website.

Review: Enchanted Eye Palette in Bronze

Dec 302007

But the colors can all be mixed and matched, have a great staying power, and as always, Sephora gives you a very good product for a reasonable price.$26 at Sephora.com.
