If you treat yourself to one thing this Christmas, it should be this - The Clarins Odyssey Eye Quartet. There are definitely makeup products that I have lusted after before, but this was something else entirely. Whether it was the sleek and luxurious design of the packaging or the stunning colours it contains, I just had to have it.
As you can see, the palette is designed beautifully. I was actually expecting it to be heavy, but it's really nice and lightweight, a palette which I'd definitely travel with. The Odyssey Face Palette is another stunner from the collection, retailing at £35.
It contains four colours - a champagne shade with a touch of shimmer, two browns and a gorgeous gold leaf shadow that can add just a hint of sparkle during the day, or can be glammed up for a dramatic nighttime look. I haven't actually used any other eyeshadow since I got this, I love it that much!
Better yet, all of the shadows contain lovely pigmentation and I've found that they last on the lids all day with minimal creasing. I think this is the star of the Christmas collections currently on offer, and I'll be checking out Clarins products in far more detail in future.
What are your thoughts on the Odyssey palette? Is this something you could justify £30 on?
*I would loved to have swatched these for you but none of my cameras can ever pick them up!
Wow, I love the look of that shimmery shade, if you ever do a look with it I'd love for you to put it up here! :D

Hopefully someone treats you to it! x
DeleteClarins have the most beautiful packed make-up bits! I love that it was neutral shades along with the gold leaf one!
ReplyDeleteI'd never really paid any attention to their products beforehand (mainly because of the price) but their palette combinations are gorgeous, they work with eachother so well!
DeleteAmazing~! I haven't tried any products from Clarins but i think i ought to. Theres so many nice palettes out now for the christmas and i want every single one of them! The gold leaf shadow looks so pretty and its great to know that a bit of sparkle can be added to the eye make-up without it being too ott. Thanks for sharing, i need to check this out in real life soon :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI was really glad that it can be used to subtly, as I'm such a neutral lover. You should definitely have a swatch at the counter! :) x
DeleteYOU GOT THE ODYSSEY EYE PALETTE... I'm so jealous!! I've been going back and forth with myself debating whether or not to add this to my Christmas list but I think seeing it on another blog has finally pushed me over the edge. I'll have to let Santa and his elves know ;)

ReplyDeleteIn terms of design I think the face palette looked a tad nicer but I'm still in love with this one, I use it all the time :)
DeleteI have this and absolutely adore it. It's so beautiful xo
ReplyDeleteIt really is! I'm using it so much, my favourite everyday colours at the moment x
DeleteI always read reviews of this and want it so much! Perhaps I will add it to the x-mas list, that gold has me smitten! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was the gold that swayed me, it's so nice! I swatched it at the counter beforehand though and ended up covered in glitter!
DeleteOh wow that is stunning! x
