I rarely buy high end beauty product, knowing there has to be a drug store dupes. But when I saw Chanel illusion d'ombre in Emervelle, I knew I would have to cave in.
Chanel Illusion D'Ombre (buy here)
Emerveille
A beautiful illuminating eyeshadow. The texture is very creamy. Just a bit shimmery. Comes with this little brush. You can either apply it as a cream shadow or as an eye liner.
For my other 2 brands of cream eye shadows, I apply just with my fingers. But with this, I would need a brush for more even application.
The most amazing texture. Very cushiony. A bit like a mousse texture.
Side by side: Maybelline Barely Beige (Fall 2012 limited edition) and Chanel Illusion D'Ombre in Emerveille
I am drawn to lighter cream eye shadows as I use them mostly as a base. With the Chanel Emerveille, I wear it as a base and apply Urban Decay Half Baked or Chopper(from Naked Palette 2). Then use Busted (also from the Naked Palette 2) for my outer corners and crease. Very pretty and wearable. Perfect for fall.
This retails for $38 in Canada. I got mine at the Bay.
