Travel With Chanel: The Harmonie de Camélias Palette

TRAVEL WITH CHANEL

Travel With Chanel

Chanel’s Makeup Essentials Harmonie de Camélias

👎 NO 👎

I just had to get that out of the way. In this particular situation with this product you should not travel with Chanel. I LOVE Chanel, and with a heavy heart I would NOT recommend this pricey makeup palette. I specifically purchased this for traveling. I have a few trips planned in the future, and I don’t want to travel with my entire makeup collection.

☹️ Y’all this was a $100 makeup purchase that I regret.

Buuuuut…I did give this palette to my mom, and she loved it, so it didn’t go to waste.

CHANEL Harmonie de Camélias Makeup Palette

I love ordering Chanel products directly from Chanel.com because their packaging is so elegant. It most definitely is a luxurious online and shipping experience. I’m also impressed with the two samples that comes with every purchase. They always come in their own black Chanel pouch, which is so handy, practical and portable. I use the black pouches to keep my lip products in for my purse or when I travel. You can store hair accessories like bobby pins or hair bands in the pouches as well.

I think Chanel does a great job making sure that their makeup products are securely packaged. I’ve never received any damaged makeup products from Chanel.

Luxury Makeup Palette

The palette itself comes with a luxurious velvety fabric case. It’s a great way of keeping the black exterior from acquiring any scratches or smudges when traveling. It’s just a little bit more protection when you travel with Chanel, that way if shampoo or oil leaks in your luggage the palette is shielded in a nice protective case.

CHANEL Samples

SAMPLE #1 (shown in image above) Base Mascara

I’m really impressed with Chanel’s samples, they come with a descent amount of product, perfect size for traveling. I like the mascara base and I know I’ll eventually end up buying the full size version.

SAMPLE #2 (shown in image below) Mascara

Chanel’s mascara is very good, but I know I’ll never buy their full size product, because I think there are too many affordable drugstore mascara’s that I like.

CHANEL Makeup Palette

Personally, I don’t really like to fuss with my makeup when I’m traveling. If my trip is for pleasure I don’t want to spend all my vacation time on my makeup look. And, if it is a business trip I don’t really want to be bothered with too much makeup anyways. I don’t like the idea of traveling with all my makeup, then leaving it in the hotel room where housekeeping can rummage through my things…no thanks. That’s why I really wanted to like this Chanel makeup palette.

Travel With Chanel: Makeup

Yes, I was impressed with the big mirror that comes inside the travel palette. Very useful, especially if your hotel room doesn’t have a good mirror or the main mirror is being used by someone else. Or, if you’re on a girls trip and your whole crew is hogging the main mirror, no worries, you can huddle in your own little corner with this big mirror.

Chanel Makeup Accessories

I thought all the makeup tools/accessories that came with the palette were good quality. I was impressed with the actual palette itself, it seemed like a good quality product, I just didn’t like the makeup (which is the most important part.)

Travel With Chanel – Blush Brush

I like the blush brush a lot. It’s folds nicely in the palette, but it unfolds to a full size product when needed for applying blush to the cheekbones.

Travel Makeup Palette

Maybe I’m being too harsh. Maybe this is going to be a great travel palette. Maybe I’ll really end up enjoying it. Maybe. I won’t know until I travel with it though. So I’ll do an updated post as soon as I use this palette on vacay.

Chanel Mascara

The travel tube of mascara that comes with the palette is great size, I can’t believe how big it is, very impressed.

Left Side

EYES: The left side of the palette comes with three warm eyeshadow colors, and they range from a gold sheer to an intense dark brown. I liked #3 the most, then #5, and #4 was my least favorite – it doesn’t look like it’s gonna blend well. Unfortunately, It seems like there is going to be a lot of ‘fall out’ using these colors, so I’ll make sure to do my eyes first before the rest of my face.

LIPS: There were two coral shades of lipstick that came on the left side of the palette. I didn’t really like any of these shades just by swatching them, but maybe I’ll change my mind once I actually use them on my lips. #1 seems too orange for me and I think I much prefer #2.

These are good colors for fall and winter.

Right Side

EYES: The right side of the palette was the cool side, literally, I just thought they were a lot cooler than the left, they’re much more my colors. The three eyeshadows range from a pink sheer to an intense purple. #9 was my favorite, I liked #8 a lot, and I didn’t like #10 at all. #10 just doesn’t seem like it’s going to blend well, doesn’t it look patchy? Regardless, I know I’m going to be able to work with these color a lot more, especially during Spring & Summer.

LIPS: The two pink lip shades on the right side are much more my colors as well and they were a lot more shimmery and glossy. #7 pops out more than #6.

All the colors on the right side seem perfect to take along on vacation to a tropical island. They are all pretty, fun and bright colors. I think #9 was my favorite shade.

Travel With Chanel – Blush & Face Powder

As you can see in the image below, the shimmering blush is not shimmery (#12). I’m really disappointed with the color of this blush, I didn’t like the texture, it seemed cakey & dry. Both #11 & 12 didn’t swatch nicely, there seemed to be a lot of fall out.

I’m not crazy about the color of the blush, but I can manage. What I’m really disappointed about is #11. I don’t even know how I’m going to use this product, if I’m going to use it at all. As you can see from the image above, #11 is too yellow for me.

I really wish in place of #11 Chanel would have put in a bronzer or highlighter! Seriously, how many skin tones can #11 serve? What about customers with darker skin tones, how is #11 supposed to be of any use to them? Or they could have added another different shade of blush, like a darker berry blush.

#11 & #12 were the most disappointing parts of the palette.

Would You Travel With Chanel?

So which side was your favorite side of the palette? The right or left? Or neither one? Do you think I’m being too harsh on this travel palette? What did you think of the blush swatches above, #11 & #12? Do you think Chanel should have switched #11 to different shade of blush, highlighter, or a bronzer? I personally think it should have been a bronzer or highlighter.
