This year was
the year I started the slippery slope of purchasing Chanel make-up. So far I’ve
tried nail varnishes, lipstick, lipgloss and powder.
I haven’t tried
any of their powdered eyeshadows yet but I’ve heard quite a bit about the
Illusion d’Ombres since their release last year I believe.
According to
Chanel, the Illusion d’Ombres are ‘cream powder eyeshadows’ and ‘long wear
luminous eyeshadows’.
When purchasing
my first one a few days ago I decided to go the safe route of Émerveillé, a
very pretty neutral which is the one I have read the most about online.
Émerveillé is a
dark peachy-melony shade. To me, the consistency of the product is kind of
spongy and gel-like more so than creamy.

A little brush
comes with the eyeshadow and I found it quite good to work with and it is what
I used to apply the shadow in the photos.
I found it to be
quite long lasting. I applied it around 10am and removed it around 11pm. It was
a bit faded by the end of the day but still quite evident on my eyes.
What I wore
UDPP in Eden
Chanel Illusion d’Ombre in Émerveille
MAC Vanilla under brow
Maybelline Gel Eyeliner
YSL Faux Cils mascara
I just wore it
alone, I wanted to test it’s lasting power and also just to see if it was wearable
by itself. It’s a yes on both counts.
I have to say I
absolutely adore this, both the product and the colour. I will certainly use it
by itself but I’m looking forward to experimenting with it and other
eyeshadows.
The bad news?
Now I want more Illusion d’Ombres!!
