I would have never spent that much. BUT, Watching this video gave me a spark of hope. In the last 4 years ive lost almost my entire family,the greatest pain was losing my son Benjamin. My sons have always told me to do stuff for myself. I have a hard time doing so.I love the idea behind this brand and it stands for things in believe you were in. After the years of trauma and losing Ben, for the first time i felt lost. This sparked memories of the past and reminded me of who am. I love what this company is doing. Seeing the stunning packaging makes me happy.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Melissa. Grieving those we love is one of the hardest things to do. You are not alone - it's something that each and every one of us experiences. I hope you're able to find beauty and joy in their memories even as you create beauty and joy in your life moving forward.
Extremely well done review! Very thorough, well researched, and creative way to present the products! I will continue to watch your reviews, as you seem to be someone I can trust. Hope your channel really grows!
Oh boy, I could watch that slow motion blurry clip of those swatches all day! Talk about entrancing. Elephant and Rhinoceros caught my eye as well - that sparkle is really something else. I have only felt these single eyeshadows at the counter, and the packaging didn’t wow me either. I also don’t like pictures of animals on my makeup (though I appreciate the cause and ethos of Chanatecaille’s line). The shadows look gorgeous on you! I like the look you created, and it looked like it held up impressively after working, gardening, and being rained on - talk about a hard day’s work! Always so fun to hear your thoughts about makeup, especially the alliterative touches you add to your explanations. 😉 Well done for exercising self control with the new Mustang collection. I know the struggle all too well!
I know! Editing those blurry swatches was quite hypnotic. 😂 I can understand not wanting eyeshadow staring back up at us from our vanities in the form of animal eyes. Now that I‘m thinking about it, it‘s kind of spooky. (Is that elephant judging me? ) I‘ve put them in a makeup bag now so that they can‘t stare at me. But, like you, I appreciate the causes Chantecaille supports, and it is definitely convenient, having differentiated packaging. And yes! It was quite impressive how well they held up, especially considering the fact that it was hot and humid in the garden. Thanks for always taking a moment to say hello and leave such thoughtful comments!
Hi watching from Japan your new subscriber! You have a luxurious channel going on here which I love so much! ~ these Chantecaille singles so beautiful 😍
Just got elephant and I absolutely love it. I don’t think I’ll buy more because I have SO much makeup I need to use. But I’m not mad that I bought it. ❤
I squealed when I saw the Wild Mustang collection and I immediately added the Roan eyeshadow and Laurel lippy to my wish list. I'm so happy that you reviewed this. Tati did a review on the quad and was not impressed so I was extremely curious about these. As always lurve and appreciate your thorough reviews!!!!❤ Happy Friday🎉
I did, too! 🤣 Those lippies are also tempting colors for me, and that formula is so easy to wear. I haven't tried the quad that Tati reviewed, but I think it must be a different formula. Especially since she's so into sparkle. Thanks for "hanging out", Heather! It's always fun to hear your thoughts. Happy Friday to you, too!
@@TheStyleStumbler has to be different because I feel like based on your review she would love these. I guess we shall see if the husband really loves me or not..... Hahahaha
@@chuckychic01 I also feel that Tati would have appreciated this formula had it been in that palette she tried. > Ah, the test of true love: expensive makeup. 😂
Wow, you have such thorough and good reviews. I'm both impressed and inspired. That elephant shade looked beautiful, but I can't see myself purchasing it because of the prize. Love that you did those comparisons btw! Now I want to dig out that mini retro palette of mine again😄👍
I‘m the same way. The practical “beauty budget” side of me simply won‘t let me spend that kind of money on just one shade right now. But I would definitely give one as a gift. And that mini retro palette is SO GOOD! I can’t wait to get back home and use it again!
Thanks for reviewing these! I was one of the ones that was interested in your thoughts about them. I am trying to curate my makeup to a fairly low number. The decision fatigue from an overabundance of eye shadow choices is very real for me. I do have the financial means to indulge a bit as well. I guess at my point in life (I'm 64) - a special single eyeshadow (or trio or quad) would be a better option than a Mothership pallette. I would never wear a lot of the shades in a Pat McGrath or Natasha Denona pallette. If I looked at how many shades I would wear vs the price, instead of the total number of shades - that makes a big difference. Thanks again for such a wonderful thorough review!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The struggle with decision fatigue is very real. So if you have the means to indulge in one of these, it sounds like it would be a beautiful way to downsize your collection a bit. Is there a particular color that you’re interested in? I’ll be near a shop that has the new collection this weekend, so I know I’ll be swatching those soon, too. Even though I don’t plan on purchasing one for myself, I might do some early Christmas shopping. 😉
Every time I see one of these reviewed I have to remind myself what percentage of another mid to high end palette one of these costs 😅. But they do look lovely.
I know! I had to keep reminding myself of that as well. That‘s why I think these would make gorgeous gifts. Something a lot of us would enjoy, but not something we would typically purchase.
I would have to agree with the packaging. With that price tag I would like luxe packaging too. But YES super sparkle nice. I have deep set eyes too, I will have to try this. I am all for the one and done trend. You did a great job with the swatches. Yes creasing can be frustrating but nice that the shadow creased in an attractive way. Work working all day, gardening and getting rained on this is impressive. Never tried wetting my shadow. Great review here 👍 good job and new subbie hope we can connect and looking forward to watching more of your content. 🥰☺
I'm glad you enjoyed the review, Allie! Despite the less-than-luxe packaging and the creasing, it was fun getting to try these out. You'll have to let me know if you try them! I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I still have four of these (cheetah, elephant, rhino, and pangolin) from a set that I got on a steep discount from a department store that was going out of business! I adore them all but I wear them very rarely, but I’m always looking for an excuse to!! I think they’re only worth it on sale or like you said, if you want to give a nice gift, or if you don’t have any special shades already 🤷 I agree that the new ones are SO TEMPTING! They look gorgeous
Those new ones really are tempting! But your comment will help me stay strong. I already have enough special shades to keep me busy for a while. 😂 Out of curiosity: which shade do you use most often of the four that you have?
There is something to be said for functional packaging that helps delineate products in a range. Having utilitarian packaging can cause headaches. The sparkle really comes through in the blurred video of the swatches. Even my neophyte eye can tell it's something special. Looking at the whole line swathed out, I am amazed by the brilliance of the sparkle across all the colors. Some do look more monochromatic than others, but they all look like real life fairy dust is the only way I can put it. And that Pangolin color finding the sweet spot mixing pink and purple is amazing. Again, you do a great job of being well rounded in your review as far as application and wear. As a consumer of the product's end result and seeing people wearing eye shadow, I think subtler shades work better than intense ones. The subtler the shade, the more wow the sparkle has. And that, for me at least, makes in more impressive and memorable to see. But I have also seen people who went the more intense route and it ended up looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show got glitter bombed. In your final appraisal you make a lot of good points about the economics of these shadows. Not knowing anything about makeup pricing, I found myself questioning the cost for one shade when I'm sure there are myriad palettes that are at the same price point and would provide more utility. But I'm also sure that the company knows there are customers that only need one shade and will pay to get the exact right thing for them. In general, the cost discussion sounds like the shadows are perfectly situated where people would be really excited to be gifted them because the self-instigated, common sense/practicality arguments probably keep people from buying it for themselves.
You put it perfectly: these truly do like like real life fairy dust! Even the monochromatic ones are special, especially in the sun. I’m so glad I was able to capture the sparkle of these - it’s so hard to do!! Chantecaille definitely knows who they’re marketing to. And although my current curation process and non-makeup financial goals currently limit my beauty purchases, there are definitely people with the means and the mindset to indulge in these. I think it must be the same for most things - there’s luxury cookware, pens, cars, furniture and accessories, and people out there willing to spend that money in order to have something special. And perhaps in the future, once I’ve curated all of my makeup, I’ll be one of those people. 😉 Is there anything that has been tempting you at the moment? How far are you along down your TBR list?
@@TheStyleStumbler I really haven't been tempted by much of anything lately, but then I don't really go out browsing much anymore so my purchases are much more selective. I'm much more in the habit lately of looking at things as "that would be nice to have, but how long would I enjoy it?" I think I'm finally starting to focus on spending money for experiences rather than stuff. There are still things I want, but I'm trying to be more considerate in my purchasing. My TBR list is slowly but surely shrinking a book at a time. I didn't realize how hard it would be sometimes picking something to read. Bu I suppose that's on me for reading non fiction that is a little harder to escape into. It's slow going a little bit when I start a new book, but once I'm in it I finish it. I've finally circled back to some of the Irish history books I bought a few years ago. My hope is that once I get one done it'll rekindle my interest and reading will be easier.
@@zachbecvar That sounds like a great place to be. Browsing has definitely led to me making less-than-ideal purchases in the past. When I'm home I don't tend to browse much. But when I'm out and about in new places, I tend to naturally see beautiful things to want. Luckily I've also gotten into the habit of asking myself similar questions, and that has dramatically cut down on my purchases. I think it's great that you're diving into non-fiction so heartily. When I read, it's usually because I'm seeking an escape from real-world stress. So I usually gravitate towards fiction. But there's so much I don't know about history and the world in general. I'm sure it would make me more well-rounded if I threw in some non-fiction on occasion. ;-)
@@TheStyleStumbler On the rare occasions when I travel somewhere, I like to browse and find some local things, plus I'm still questing for that ever elusive pith helmet. I think the change is due in large part that I'm trying to convince my parents to get rid of a lot of extraneous junk that's been collected over the years so when the time comes, there's less stuff to have to deal with. It has led me to look at my own purchasing habits. I can't really read fiction any more. Outside of a couple of series that I've been into for along time, nothing really grabs me. I find things that have actually happened much more interesting. But I do sometimes miss the escapist quality of getting sucked into a good story.
@@zachbecvar Seeing clutter from the perspective of what we will leave behind is certainly helpful when deciding against purchasing things. It's "preemptive decluttering." 😀 I have to admit, most of my reading is the same books over and over again. I haven't really stretched my literary wings in a while.
Hi Michelle, great question! I’ve just been trying to change my mindset when it comes to stuff. So I pronounce “love” normally when referring to people and I say “lurv” when referring to things to reinforce the difference in my mind. It probably seems silly but it’s really helped me be more conscious about my priorities. It’s nice to “meet” you! Thanks for taking a moment to say hello in the comments. 💛
I thought of you a lot while I was testing these - I associate you with sparkle. 😉 But I do feel like this is a toned-down version of the glimmer you enjoy. This sparkle only truly comes out in the sun. Vampire sparkle, maybe?
Omg, I loved these eyeshadows, the sparkle was insane when you showed on daylight. I can hear you talking for hours, love this videos in which you compare, the result reminded me a little of the Victoria Beckham pressed shadows quality. 🤍 xx
They really are sparkly! I was pretty mesmerized the first time I saw them in person. I have yet to try anything from Victoria Beckham, but a lot of her makeup is on my wishlist. Those pressed shadows look gorgeous!
I would never, NEVER, buy a single for $56. At least not with day's mindset. It doesn't help that they are neutrals and neutrals are not my favorite...
I completely understand where you are coming from. You seem to be a makeup maximalist (with a so many beautiful choices!) And the way you work with color is gorgeous. I feel like these are made with an entirely different consumer in mind.
@@TheStyleStumbler I always say that I don't like neutral because "They are brown, I'm brown, what's the point ?" 😂 although I've received compliments at times I was wearing neutrals too 😂
We all tend to gravitate towards certain things. I’m all about the neutrals because I feel a bit clownish with too much color on my complexion. But you are SO GOOD with color! I always love the looks you put together. You are obviously doing things very right. 💛
@@TheStyleStumbler Thank you ! I have to say, I'm also an all or nothing with makeup. I wear makeup because I want to look badass, not to "enhance my features", which I feel like neutral makeup is for. Which is not a bad thing, just not for me. Then, I tend to not wear anything. But I remember, when I was still working for Kiko, a lot of clients were complimenting me for my makeup and were amazed, saying that they "don't know how to put on makeup". I always thanked them and said to them that even though they liked my makeup they would hate it on them, because this is not them and how they wear their makeup". Makeup is very personal indeed.
Makeup truly is a very personal collection of choices. And yours suits you and your personality so well! I‘m always excited to see what look you‘ll be wearing in your videos. 😊

I keep being so drawn to the Chantecaille shades! But then never pull the trigger. So excited to watch your thoughts!
That $56 trigger is a hard one to pull.
Me too, I actually have two in my cart but I’m glad I watched this bc I have a lot of Tom ford and PML, she’s absolutely right..

The fallout is just ridiculous. Doesn’t justify the price for me personally.
At that price point, everything should be to your liking.
That's completely understandable.
The only reason to buy was bc of their donations to animal welfare. If they didn’t, I couldn’t justify the price point for myself 🤣
That (and that they are vegan and cruelty-free) is definitely a plus point! 🤣
Their donations are in the range of 2-5% just for reference.
Also a good point.
Lexi Jong shared in her review the donation amount for these is only about $2 and only if you buy directly from chantecaille.
Thanks for sharing that info!
