Little Chanel Haul

Continuing on my high end beauty splurge in the city to celebrate my birthday(see my Dior lip balm post), I picked up a couple more things at the Chanel cosmetic counter.

I was drooling on their limited edition collection. Their eyeshadow palette is so pretty. But I restrained myself and got only what I planned to get.

I got 2 of their illusion d'ombre long wear luminous eyeshadows. I have 2 in my collection already and absolutely love them. They are so creamy and they last all day long. Sometimes when I'm running late in the morning, I just apply a little bit on my lids and a bit of eyeliner and ready to get out the door. 

I got 83 Illusoire and 837 Fatal. Illusoire is their permanent item which I have been eyeing on a long time. Fatal is in their limited edition collection.

Illusoire is a purple/grey shade with a hint of silver shimmer. I love their eyeshadow base as I am not a big fan of glitter and shimmer. But the Chanel ones are quite subtle that it just gives your lids a bit of "glam" without looking like a shiny disco ball. The SA told me this shade is one of their popular ones.

Fatal is one of the two eyeshadow base included in their 2013 holiday collection. It is a plum/brown shade with a bit of silver shimmer. It also has a bit of cooper in it which I love as I like warmer tones. The texture is so creamy and bouncy. I have other cream eyeshadow bases from other brands but I find these one don't dry out on me like others. I try to close all the lids as tight as I could for all of them but they still dry out. The Maybelline Color Tattoo ones seem to dry out the fastest for me. So even their colors are gorgeous and so affordable, I stop buying them as they only last a couple of months for me.
