Vanites is beautiful to look at in the pan with a mix of purple shades of deep eggplant purple, silver purple, a duochrome gold/purple and lilac. I had high expectations of the palette but was extremely disappointed with the lack of pigmentation. I suspect the colours would be more pigmented when applied over a primer.
Illusion D'Ombre are part of Chanel fall collection and I picked up Mirifique to use as an eyeliner. I love the silver glitter specked through Mirifique. You can see from the swatch below that Mirifique can be sheered out for a less intense look.
Here's me wearing Vanites and Mirifique, trying out both products for the first time.
I love how you used Mirifique! So pretty. I have Ebloui and Illusoire, and am waiting on Epatant and Mirifique to arrive. Your post makes me more excited! :D xxx
ReplyDeleteI only own one Chanel palette and the pigmentation is shocking too:(
ReplyDeleteBut I love my Illusion D'Ombre, I have it in Epatant. So pretty!
Hopefully you'll have better luck with Vanities using a base. I had a makeover with the quad and it was terrible. It was sheer with tons of glitter fallout. Mirifique is a great color!
ReplyDeletei need to hit up the chanel counter!
