Chanel Illusion d’Ombre Long Wear Eyeshadow in “Mirifique”

Posted on January 30, 2012 | 5 Comments
I finally splurged on the super gorgeous Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in "85 Mirifique".

YouTube makeup guru and Lancôme video makeup artist Michelle Phan put together this Lancôme Glamour Eyes kit that's exclusively sold at Sephora. I had plans to try out the Lancôme Artliner Eyeliner sometime, so I figured I'd just buy this kit since it comes with a full-size Artliner in "Noir" as well as a Color Design All-In-One 5 Shadow and Line Palette called "307 Chic by Chelle" and a travel-size Hypnôse Drama Mascara. Check out my swatches, EOTD, and reasons why I returned it. Read more...
