Chantecaille Les Dauphins Palette + Bourbon Rose Lip Chic

Chantecaille's Les Dauphins Palette & Bourbon Rose Lip Chic are more beautiful than words can describe. I've been thinking of how I can give a review that does justice to the Les Dauphins Palette - and all I can say is I think it's a must-have for those who love soft spring-like neutrals and especially those who love taupey shadows. Bourbon Rose is the softer color out of the 2 spring lip chics. It's a natural rosey pink - similar to Tea Rose, but slightly lighter and has golden shimmer.

Without flash:

I haven't had time to do swatches of this palette, but Karlasugar has already done an amazing feature on all the items - so I highly recommend you check out her post if you haven't already.

I played around with the palette at Neimans and the color on the dolphins is an overspray. The shadows and blush all have a lovely subtle shimmer. I'm typically not a huge fan of split-pan shadows or blushes, but all the colors in this palette are so pretty, I don't mind.

This is the planned look of the day with the Chantecaille Dauphins Palette & Bourbon Rose Lip Chic.

  2. I Just I just picked this up on Monday! It is so beautiful! Can't wait to try it out! I'm assuming your bought yours for the NM Beauty event? What else did you get, if anything? I didn't end up buying much, just stocking up on La Mer, a couple of Rouge Coco's and some Jo Malone. AND....been meaning to tell you how fantastic the Edward Bess Pure Impulse and Soft Whisper looked on your baby Angelina lips! Will be doing that look soon! Don't know why I've never tried that combination before!

  7. Really like those shoes, although I have not worn heels for ages.
    I wasn't sure about that palette at first but after seeing your pictures and Karla's swatches I think I'll have to pick it up as they look like the shades I always go for.

  9. Sabrina, have you had a chance to play with this palette yet? I'm trying to get a feel for the pigmentation of the shadows (I know KarlaSugar swatched them, but they're heavily swatched to show the colors ... not sure how they apply in real life) ...

    HELP! Would love to hear your thoughts! :0)
