Chanel Ombre Essentielle Eyeshadow Review

Burgundy is a key shade for AW11 both in terms of fashion and beauty, which makes Chanel’s Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow in ‘Trace’ the perfect choice. Flecks of glitter give the rich colour a lift and makes eyes sparkle.

The powdery consistency makes the colour easy to blend, but to achieve a darker shade you need to apply the eyeshadow several times. When you do this watch for the over spill under your eyes.

Despite the powder formula this eyeshadow does last for at least eight hours and you don’t get a crease line, nor will it smudge around your eyes.

Chanel’s Ombre Essentielle Eyeshadow is £21 and available from Boot.com.

Rating: 7.5/10 – It’s a good eyeshadow, but the price is a little off-putting. Although you’re buying into a luxury brand, you are only getting one shade, so you have to choose carefully.

Chanel Le Vernis in Denim Blues Review

Inspired by denim, Chanel's new nail polishes are pretty shades of blue and perfect for rocking this season's nail trend. From light to dark Blue Boy, Coco Blue and Blue Rebel might look like unusual colours to wear on your nails, but when worn together make a real statement.

While the darker shades, Blue Rebel and Coco Blue offer instant sophistication, Blue Boy shouldn't be overlooked because of its lightness, instead team it with the other two tones.

Two coats is enough to provide a striking colour, however like all Chanel nail polishes these are still prone to chipping easily.

 Chanel Le Vernis in Blue Boy, Coco Blue & Blue Rebel are £17.50 each. For more information visit Chanel.com

Rating: 6/10 - amazing shades, but the same old formula lets the product down.
