Clarins Eye Quartet Mineral Review

This is the most beautiful piece of makeup that I own (and I own a fair bit!). It comes inside of the classic red velvet Clarins pouch- awesome at keeping the scratches at bay. The compact is reflective gold with a absolutely beautiful pattern on top. Odyssey has a light taupe shade (I use this all over the lid), a darker taupe crease shade, a deep chocolate brown and a fabulous foiled gold. I used the darkest shade as an eyeliner and for the outer v of the eye and I used the gold foiled shade on the mobile lid. The colours blend like a dream and are beautiful and buttery soft, so well pigmented. I found the foiled shade worked best applied with a finger rather than a brush (as a brush just picked up the glitter and none of the colour). This palette worked beautifully with my brown eyes making them look quite smouldering. I am absolutely in love with this eyeshadow quad and can see why they are so pricy! As money allows I would definitely repurchase other shades.

Recently I wanted to purchase this favourite product again in New Zealand - but it is no longer supplied to our market. It was the most perfect combination of shades and luxury to put into a handbag while out or travelling. The little gold case came with a red velvet pouch. The colour combinations were absolutely perfectly aligned and I googled and noticed it is still getting Youtube reviews in 2023 in Europe/UK - by young professional beauty channels as well as mature ladies. Please bring it back Clarins! Recently I bought one of the new circular rebranded shadow combinations - but couldn't get this perfect colour scheme. Still, the purples and pinks were a good combo for blue eye 'pop' but this one is sadly missed and the new brown combo doesn't work for my complexion and eyes.
