Overview and swatches of the Chanel Summer 2016 makeup collection and review of the Chanel Empreinte du Desert eyeshadow palette

For Summer 2016, Chanel has prepared a 2nd makeup collection [the 1st was reviewed here], this time focusing on the eyes! Chanel Eyes Speak Volumes is a complete collection of makeup items designed to enable a range of captivating looks, from tomboy to mischievious and playful to a star. I was most drawn to this collection because through their makeup artistry, Chanel has managed to transform Kristen Stewart (admittedly not my most favourite actress ever) into a mesmerizing bombshell. This collection actually released a few months ago in the US, but is just coming out to Asia. I have seen several reviews on each of them online, but I wanted to still take some time to give the pieces a good try before formulating my own opinion. To start things off, I’d like to show you the piece that had caught my eye from the very beginning – Chanel Tisse Particulier.

Once it sets though, it doesn’t budget all day long even on my oily lids. Not merely for the summer rush, whenever I am not testing out a new palette, I would automatically reach for one of these to get me ready for work. Just twist up, swipe, blend and go. No need to sharpen, they swivel back down safely and the caps click shut securely so no worries about a messy spill in the bag. This is the 3rd year that Chanel has released these Stylo Eyeshadows, and I personally feel these are my favourite hues yet! […]

The Chanel Eyes Collection 2016 seems to be a small sub-collection made up limited edition and going-permanent products. There are three new Les 4 Ombres palettes (Tisse Dimension shown above) each with two co-ordinating Stylo Eyeshadows. I'm very fond of the Stylo Eyeshadows - colour crayons that cool the lids and feel so light you barely
