Guerlain Ombre Eclat 6 Couleurs #68 Champs-Elysees
As you might have already noticed, I adore Guerlain. Their packaging and good quality products appeal to me and I can identify myself with this brand (does that sound silly?). Their limited editions are pure luxury and well thought out, they always feature a theme and all products are well matched (colours, packaging).
Guerlain ecrin 6 couleurs all have a stunning case and that imprint is absolutely amazing, classic and elegant. All their palettes have a very good weight, it feels like you would hold something special.
They all come with a velvet pouch and a brush (which I don’t use, I just prefer my own brushes).
This palette contains five eyeshadows (pearly silver white, medium ashy grey, medium brown taupe, deep grey brown, vivid purple) and a deep black, which is meant to be used as a liner. beside the pearly white, which is glittery and sheer (amazing as a top coat) and the deep black (matte) all the other shades are satin, with a hint of very fine shimmer. Close up pictures were taken with flash, to show the fine shimmer.
Whenever I go for a soft smokey eye, I use this palette along with Guerlain’s Rouge Automatique in Champs-Elysees (cheesy? I rarely go matchy-matchy in colour but how could I not use those two products together?!). The staying power is amazing and those eyeshadows don’t accentuate my dry lids (while I was washing off my swatches, I also noticed that they are quite water proof and I had to use an oil cleanser, most of the time I can wash off my swatches with warm water only).
The purple shade is very similar to Guerlain’s Khol in Blu Acqua, just a bit deeper. This palette is very well pigmented and soft. Although they are very pricey, if you love good quality products with amazing packaging, I definitely would invest in one of Guerlain’s Ombre Eclat 6 Couleurs.
Gorgeous! That packaging is really stunning. I’m kind of a sucker for velvet pouches, even though I put them aside and never use them.
Guerlain has the most beautiful packaging on the market. I have to admit, I keep everything … the pouches and outer packaging as well, can’t toss it, I feel like I am wasting something, lol.
Very pretty!
It is! Love Guerlain.
Oh my. Just a day after I stopped myself from buying this on a blogsale, you post a blog about it! I have been eyeing up this very same palette. And I also own the lipstick! Damn. Maybe I should reconsider?! Hmmm….
Hi Lisa, thank you for stopping by and commenting
You should have bought it *spanks* D:, if you love smokey eyes, this palette is great for that.
I do!! Oh no… Claire, what are you doing to meee?! I think I shall *have* to ask for it for Christmas. I don’t know whether to buy Champs-Elysees or Place Vendome now. Just bought a £1 purple eyeshadow which I love more than the central purple shade here, so maybe I’ll go for Place Vendome… Hmmm… Your blog is evil. In a very good way.
Actually, I have both
Place vendome has the most beautiful blue there and it more brown taupe than grey taupe (champs-elysees). I am happy that you like my blog 
Ahhh I keep thinking I need one of those, and this one has been on the top of my list! I kind of wonder if I can pull all the gray off, but nevertheless it’s a nice palette with a variety of finishes, and the quality looks amazing!
I was wonderng as well about the grey but it actually has become one of my fav greys. I like the soft murky undertone in those shades, almost like a grey black. I think the quality is great!
The packaging us just exceptional! Very beautiful colors.
I adore the packaging! So luxurious.
this palette looks amazing! i adore the case, too.
it does not sound silly at all that you identify yourself with this gorgeous brand. i secretly do the same thing with Dior. :p
my best friend loves guerlain eyeshadows and i never understood until i had my hands on the liu palette. i’d love to own one of these ecrin palettes.
(btw, you have an amazing purple collection, it seems!)
I know right? Guerlain is my new love <3 Now I can call you Miss Dior, that would be perfect for you, you look so angelic and sophisticated
I was into all the blurples a while back, I collected some nice colours 
I am much more into greens now though but I wouldn't say no to a lovely purple colour, never! 
pretty! i do love guerlain!
I adore this brand and always get a bit weak when they release something that catches my eye
yup, and it is always a relief when something doesn’t catch my eye! haha
Love the packaging so much of their palettes! They really know how to make something super pretty and luxurious! I once gave a palette like this to my sister, she was over the moon with it, hehe
. That purple shade is to die for!
I adore Guerlain’s packaging! I could look at all their products the whole day
