Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Chanel Éclat Magnétique De Chanel Illuminating Powder in the shade Metallic Peach.
This is part of their Chanel Les Ornements De Chanel Holiday 2019 Collection and in my opinion the most appealing item.
This highlighter is limited edition and it only comes in one shade. You can get it from Chanel website for 70$.
COLOUR
Despite the name Metallic Peach, I find it more of a pinky champagne. It’s a very flattering colour.
PACKAGING
The packaging is absolutely stunning and luxurious I totally love it.
It comes in a cardboard box and a velvet pouch. I know some people throw it away but I like to keep it, makes me feel real fancy!
It also comes with a tiny brush, which, for the price, is a nice added touch. It’s very soft and it disperses powder really beautifully.
The design on the powder itself is stunning and incredibly chic.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
The formula is quite stiff in the pan and a bit powdery, I feel like it looks better swatched than it does when you apply it with a brush.
It has sheer coverage and you have to layer it which it’s a bit of a waste for such an expensive product, especially because the result on it’s quite underwhelming and bland.
It doesn’t enhance texture and pores.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
On me, it lasts around 6 hours before starting to fade.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 8/10
- Longevity: 6/10
- Application: 6/10
- Texture: 6/10
- Pigmentation: 6/10
- Packaging: 10/10
GRADE: C+
This highlighter is such a disappointment. It looks beautiful but it’s so damn expensive I want the perfect quality from it. The formula is very bland, it looks good swatched but if you use a brush is very sheer and almost invisible. The lasting power isn’t satisfying too. This highlighter is 70$ and it’s really not worth it.

Very unfortunate to hear, but it actually looks lovely in the photos on you. But you shouldn’t have to build up so many layers with such an expensive product!
I mean I probably have 5$ of highlighter on my face ahahah!
You’re so fancy! ??
Hahahahaha oh so fancy ahah
A C+ from Chanel? Very disappointing especially from a big name brand! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ?
CHANEL is my absolute favorite brand….I’m bummed to hear the C+ review on this one! I just bought the White eyeshadow this season and love it so much.
That one is nice, I’ve reviewed it in the fall when it came out
I love how this highlighter looks. Too beautiful to use x

Thank you ?
The color is so beautiful wow!!! I might pick this up for my wife! I don’t know a lot about makeup but i am sure she’d love it.
It does look beautiful but I have to say, the shine doesn’t really shine well based on your photos. If it was Chanel, I would expect more of a natural but brighter shine from this kind of powder.
Agree!
Thank you for your honest review. I agree it’s expensive so you would expect more and it’s a shame it doesn’t live up to expectations.
It’s so sad! ?
Anything that has a chanel on its name seems to be posh!
Oh no, it really looked so good! ?
I wish it was better ??
