Review: Chanel Illusion D'ombre in Emerveille







I had planned to post this a while ago, but somehow deleted the post. I've had this for a couple of months now after lusting after it for so long. It's quite a popular product in this here blogging world, and I always like to post about the hyped products to see how they match up. 

The formula of this is like no other, it's very spongey but easy to apply. I find that with primer, it doesn't really budge during the day, although it can crease slightly. 
As it's a Chanel product, you can expect the quality to be high! I use my fingers to apply this usually, I find that it's best this way and I haven't really used anything else to compare. It almost feels slightly damp so I can't imagine a brush working so well. 

I think this colour is gorgeous, definitely a shade that suits and flatters all. It's quite a warm, rosy gold that's just so easy to wear, day or night.
The packaging is typical, luxurious Chanel - I feel proud getting it out of my makeup bag as it's just as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. 

This is definitely a product to splurge on if you feel like treating yourself. I think it's such a beautiful but unique product, and it really is worth the money.

  3. It's a lovely, easy to wear colour. I have the shade Epatant for nights out, but this is on my wishlist!
    Your cheeks look lovely and flushed too! Very pretty :)

  7. Chanel is just an amazing brand in general! I don't think I've ever used a Chanel beauty product I didn't love. I have the shade Illusoire in the Illusion d'Ombre and it's beautiful! It's like a purple/grey colour and it has the perfect amount of shimmer and sparkle. Emerveille would be a great everyday neutral, I imagine.

  8. I've been itching to buy one of these for a while now. I keep putting off going to the Chanel counter because it's getting a bit tiring trying to convince the ladies I'm a real life customer. I think I might treat myself to this shade on pay day. The colour suits you soo well!

  11. I have Epatant and love it, but I've been really wanting Emerveille for a natural wash of color across my lids on days where I don't have much time to do my eye makeup. So pretty!

  14. I've got the epatant, the purple one and the black one and they're all drying out in a weird way, and flake off my eyes when I apply too much product... not sure if I'm doing something wrong! I really like your blush by the way, which one is it?!x

  15. This colour suits you so well. It would be great if you could start posting not just your lipstick but the blush you are wearing as well. I always want to know what blush you're wearing! xx

  24. I just purchased my third colour out of this range earlier this month. I struggled a bit with application, and generally found fingers worked best, though for shading I used my own brush. This colour is so pretty, it really suits your skintone.
