    Fan Look: Subtle Blue and Green Makeup

    Sparkly Gold, Brown, and Black Makeup Look

    I've always been a big fan of shimmery gold eye shadow (even my very first MAC eye shadow was a limited edition gold called "Bagatelle"), so I was really excited when I came across Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Long Wear Eyeshadow in "89 Vision" when I was in Germany earlier this month.

I purchased this gold one called "89 Vision" when I was in Europe earlier this month. The sparkle on these eye shadows are so beautiful, and they have very minimal fallout for a product packed with so much shimmer. Check out the swatch to see the gorgeous gold sparkle! Read more...
