Chanel Enigma Eyeshadow Quad
If you didn’t know by now, one of my guilty pleasures is blog sales and makeup swaps. Some may cringe at the thought of purchasing or trading used makeup, but over the past few years I’ve become a pro at sanitizing most makeup products (it’s really not that hard). Most of the products I’ve obtained have barely been used, for a fraction of the price!
Enigma is a limited edition palette, that launched in Chanel’s 2010 Fall Collection. Enigma contains four shades: a pale pink, olive-taupe, deep blackened plum with silver shimmer and a silvered-charcoal.
All of the shades go very well together, and can create a gorgeous smokey eye. I like using the pale pink shade all over my lid, and any of the darker shades (typically the olive-taupe – third from the left, swatched below) smudged into my lashline and blended up to my crease. I like taking the deep plum and lining my top and bottom lid with it, as the purple tones in it makes the green in my hazel eyes stand out more.
I rarely ever use a primer with my eyeshadows, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the lasting power of these shadows is very good.
Here are the colors swatched with a slightly damp sponge applicator:
I didn’t swatch the colors completely dry, but here are some swatches from Karlasugar for reference.
Even though this awesome palette isn’t around any longer, you may be able to get a hold of it through makeup community swaps/blog sales and eBay.
the look you did with this quad is so beautiful on your eye color! i love it.
great choice! 🙂

I usually purchase from blog sales as well! I've been able to try out a lot of things and not set myself back by paying retail.
I usually shy away from purchase lip products (no lipglosses, sometimes I'll purchase lipstick) but I've gotten a lot of eyeshadows and blushes and been able to expand my collection! 🙂

I love buying second hand makeup as well! I have this awesome neighbour who holds a garage sale once in a while and I always buy like a kg of makeup from her 🙂

These colors are so pretty! Just curious…whats your way of sanitizing makeup? I have recently gotten into the blog sales so this would be a great know how =)

I have none but from the looks of this I NEED some. I have no problems with buying “used” makeup. Properly sanitized, it's as good as new. I'd love to see some of your tips on the subject though!

Absolutely gorgeous! It is a shame that it isn't sold anymore. I love shadows that don't get ruined when using them wet, it makes them much more versatile. 🙂
