Clionadh Deep See Treasures Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Deep Sea Treasures

Clionadh Deep Sea Treasures 8-Pan Multichrome Eyeshadow Palette ($95.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new release that features eight different multichrome eyeshadows in one palette, which is why it has such a high price point–it’s not a bad price point relative to purchasing multichrome shades from the brand individually. I also felt like the range of bases used along with the shifts was a good mix within the palette.

I think it’s a nice option for someone who is newer to multichromes, but if you have a pretty well-rounded stash, you may find there’s not enough difference across all eight shades to justify the price point. It’s no surprise that all eight shades performed well; they were pigmented, smooth, and easy to work with. I only had minor difficulty with one shade (Ring of Fire), which was more sparkly so it had a bit of fallout and wasn’t as finely-milled as other shades.
