95 MIRAGE CHANEL ILLUSION D'OMBRE EYESHADOW - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

95 Mirage is a beautiful shimmery warm toned bronze Chanel Illusion D'Ombre cream to powder eyeshadow. It is part of the Chanel 2014 Summer collection - REFLETS D’ÉTÉ DE CHANEL. For more information about the collection and what I have reviewed so far I'll post links below. The formula for Mirage seemed drier and less creamy than previous Chanel cream eyeshadows. It still applied nicely but it seemed like I had to warm it up to make it more pliable. The bronze eyeshadow has really strong yellow undertones that make this perfect for warm toned complexions. For those with pink undertones like myself, it wasn't very flattering. The wear time for Mirage when worn over eyeshadow was a little under ten hours with creasing occurring all over and significant fading. 

95 Mirage currently retails for $36.00 USD and it contains .14 oz of product. It is available for purchase online and in store at most major department stores.

Check out Utopia here: 96 UTOPIA CHANEL ILLUSION D'OMBRE EYESHADOW - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

96 UTOPIA CHANEL ILLUSION D'OMBRE EYESHADOW - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

96 Utopia is a limited edition Chanel Illusion D'Ombre long wear luminous eyeshadow from the 2014 Summer collection REFLETS D’ÉTÉ DE CHANEL. To read more about the entire collection check out the link below. Utopia is a shimmery light purple cream eyeshadow with silver sparkle. It doesn't apply as evenly as previous Chanel cream eyeshadows - it seemed drier and less pliable.
It tended to pill (or clump together) which made it harder to get an even all over application of Utopia. The wear time for Utopia is on par with the other Chanel Illusion D'Ombre cream eyeshadows. It lasted for about six to seven hours wear time before creasing. Also, be sure to always apply an eyeshadow primer underneath the cream eyeshadow and use thin applications when applying the cream eyeshadow onto the eyelid to lessen the chances of them creasing. 

The Chanel Illusion D'Ombre long wear luminous eyeshadows are currently priced at $36.00 USD and contain .14 oz of product. They are available for purchase at most major department stores such as Nordstrom and Belk.

8 PRUNE TAFFETAS GIVENCHY OMBRE COUTURE CREAM EYESHADOW - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Givenchy recently released 9 new Ombre Couture cream eyeshadows. These long lasting cream to powder eyeshadows boast a 16 hour wear time that can be worn as a base, eyeshadow or eyeliner. I purchased 3 of them: 3 Rose Dentelle (click the link below to see my review), 8 Prune Taffetas and 5 Taupe Velours (I'll post a review of it shortly). The Givenchy Ombre Couture cream eyeshadows are available at Sephora and are currently priced at $23.00 USD for .14 oz. of product.

08 Prune Taffetas is a gorgeous plum eyeshadow. It has a cream to powder finish that applies semi-sheer with buildable color. It is super easy to layer and apply and it lasts forever when worn! I wore it for about 14 hours on Saturday and it still looked fresh all day long. Almost like I had just applied the eyeshadow. I am so in love with this color!!! So far out of the three I have purchased 08 Prune Taffetas is my favorite. Although they all have superb quality and wear beautifully!

3 ROSE DENTELLE GIVENCHY OMBRE COUTURE CREAM EYESHADOW - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Recently Givenchy released 9 new Ombre Couture cream eyeshadows. These long lasting cream to powder eyeshadows boast a 16 hour wear time that can be worn as a base or as an eyeshadow. I purchased 3 Rose Dentelle which is a muted pinkish brown. It is a gorgeous natural shade that will wear well on just about everyone. The texture is reminiscent of the MAC paint pots but the Givenchy cream eyeshadows have a denser consistency. They do apply rather sheer but buildable. So there is never a fear of overdoing it. Just keep in mind that it does dry rather quickly but one still has time to blend it out before it sets. I wore Rose Dentelle all day yesterday as an eyeshadow, about 17 hours (7am until about midnight) and I didn't experience any creasing but there was some slight fading after about 12 hours. Today I am wearing it as a base, 5 hours so far, and nothing has moved, creased or faded on my eyes. These "MUST HAVE" Givenchy Ombre Couture cream eyeshadows are available at Sephora and are currently priced at $23.00 USD for .14 oz. of product.
