Because of my obsession with the 2013 launch of the Chanel Stylo Eyeshadows (love shown here) I knew sight unseen that I had to own a few of the Chanel Fresh Effect Stylo Eyeshadow ($34.00 // Nordstrom) shades from the Summer 2015 Collection Mediterranee. Five limited edition shades were released and I picked up three of them in Laurier Rose (rose gold), Olivine (olive green) and Caroube (chocolate bronze).
Like with the previous release the Stylo Eyeshadows are in rounded tube where the product is able to be twisted up or down. The formula is creamy, applies smoothly and easily and feels cool to the skin (almost like you’re applying a gel). I’ve found when applying this product it’s best to directly deposit the color to the lid right from the applicator and then smudge it out with your fingertip for a sheer wash of color which is buildable and can be worn alone or with a shadow on top. In my experience the Stylo Eyeshadows do not crease or fade at all, even without a secondary primer underneath such as Urban Decay Primer Potion. My lids are incredibly oily, so it’s always impressive to me when a product stays put without help.
The swatches below are done on bare skin (dry, no primer):
In the look below: (EYES) Using a finger Chanel Olivine Stylo Eyeshadow is smudged all over the lid and through the crease. Chanel Caroube Stylo Eyeshadow is smudged overtop the outer V area and lightly below the lower lash line. Next I placed a light dusting of Chanel Gri-Gri Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow. Chanel Laurier Rose Style Eyeshadow was dabbed at the center of the lid and blended with a finger. The liner is PUR Minerals Madagascar Double Ego Dual Ended Eye Liner. The mascara is W3LL PEOPLE The Expressionist Bio Extreme Mascara and Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes layered. (BROWS) IT Cosmetics Your Brows But Better Brow Power Skinny Pencil and Anastasia Clear Brow Gel. (FACE) Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in 125 and Pro Finish Powder in 120, Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup SPF 15 in Light, Pür Minerals Disappearing Ink Concealer in Light (both shown here), Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow and Urban Decay Bang Afterglow Blush. (LIPS) Chanel Arthur Rouge Coco Lipstick under Chanel Allegria Glossimer.
What do you think of the Chanel Stylo Eyeshadow shades for Summer 2015? Are any wishlist worthy for you?
Chanel Fresh Effect Stylo Eyeshadow retails for $34.00 and is available now at Nordstrom, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and chanel.com.

The pigmentation looks beautiful! Love Laurier Rose, though there is just something about a creamy shadow that I am not a fan of. Even though I don’t have oily eyelids, I always find them to be too slippery. That being said, I literally haven’t used one in a few years so I should probably give them another try, haha.

These colors are gorgeous, and I soo gravitate towards the bronzy browns and rose golds. I LOVE how you put the rose gold on the middle of the lid and how it pairs with the lippies you chose. I never would have come up with that.

I am a bit on the fence with these and not entirely sure about whether the colours would suit me…maybe a proper swatch test is in order! That said, Chanel products don’t normally disappoint. x

I rarely have issues with Chanel. I wasn’t able to check these in store but the other batch they released a few years ago was such a love I knew I couldn’t pass these ones up!
Your makeup looks amazing, the shadow and lippie are amazing together. I love me some Chanel!
