I've wanted one of these Chanel shadows for a long time. Well, since they came out, is that considered long??
They had two beautiful shades Emerveille and Illusoire, but passed because I had Jill Stuart dupes. Then I heard of Ebloui from MissHannahG and Chanelette
I finally made up my mind. I was going to finally buy one of these babies and decided Ebloui was the goal!
After the end of a long dinner this weekend (3 hours...crazy) I went to Macy's to swatched Ebloui and thought "This is beautiful!!! It has green reflects! I love it!" and went to the register. Fast forward home 20 minutes later to a very excited me, opening my shadow to hear a noise...hmmm?? Then I looked at the cap which I could not get off because it was on crooked!! Oh no!! I opened my shadow to see it completely dried up and 100 percent separated from the jar! If I flipped it over it would have fallen out.
Close the lid to these babies tight ladies!
Stared at the clock and saw the department store closed in 9 minutes...THANK GOODNESS I GO TO THE GYM! Slapped on some random shoes and ran in the snow, yes, of course it had to be in the cold snow!! I did not want to wait until the next day in case the staff thought I may have damaged the item myself. Made it with 3 minutes to spare and an exchange.
WHEW, some intro right!!!
Sh peel over, I finally got my shadow, I am in love, and couldn't be happier.
The shadow comes with a brush which I have not tried...and really should have before this post...
I have not been posting recently and did unfortunately take these photos at night but wanted to share my newest love purchase!! Will be reviewing in much fuller depth in the future!
Until then, eye candy!
Can you see the gorgeous green fine reflects?
Randomly, other favorites this week have been: MAC Teddy Eyeliner, MAC MSF in Stereo Rose over any pink cream blush, MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle, Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel (review coming soon), Maquillage eye lash curlers, NARS Dolce Vita lipstick with MAC Plushglass in Ample Pink
Hope everyone had a greeaaat weekend!!!
And for those who celebrate, Happy Lunar New Year!!
GAHhhhh!! I want this one so bad!! I tried to get it today but they were sold out! :( It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteoh no sold out!!! Actually they were sold out of almost every single shade at my counter too! I got the last Ebloui! the second to last was the one I gave back. Hope you get one soon too dear! i think it will be love!
ReplyDeletewow what a gorgeous colour! and I really love your nailpolish too :)
ReplyDeletehehe thank you! it is chipping need to redo them! It is Essie's Ballet Slippers topped with Essie's Topless and Barefoot :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful! i really want to try out one of these...i wanted illusiore but maybe ill get this! it is so pretty. or maybe BOTH haha. i have been loving soleil de chanel too. loved the background story, 9 minutes to spare. lol so dramatic :D
ReplyDeletehehe I really might go back to get illuiore! but im trying to be good since I have a semi dupe!! i know 9 minutes! i was like.. WHY ME!! lol
ReplyDeleteThe little green flecks do sound special! It's kind of scary to hear how fast things dry out, but good to know.
ReplyDeletewow! you're so lucky you live so close to a store xD i can't run anywhere except maybe to my mailbox in 9 minutes >_< and i did swatch a few and the texture is soo nice I'm tempted to pick one up but I'm trying to be good as well ^^"
ReplyDeleteI'm writing my review of my second one as I read! I have illusiore and ephant and I love them both. This one is gorgeous though! xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, you're so lucky for having a department store so close to your place! I always end up buying cosmetics when I'm stressed/bored/tired from Uni studying... This 3-hour dinner really must have cried out for a shopping spree afterwards! Enjoy your new Chanel acquisition, hun! Can't wait for your review on the Soleil Tan de Chanel! xx
ReplyDeletethis looks so pretty! I'm really into bronzy shades right now!
ReplyDeleteWhy haven't I bought that shade yet? I've wanted it since it came out, too! I love that you ran in the snow to exchange it. lol! Stereo Rose over a pink cream blush? I need to try that!
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteOmg. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteOMG That's sooooo GORGEOUS! Urghhh now I want to get one (even though I really don't need another eyeshadow)!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I haveEmerveille and Epatant and Illusoire (so far!) and I’m warning you that when you get one you need to buy all of them! It’s a pity your first one was dried up but well done you for sprinting to Macys before it closed!
ReplyDeleteX
loved the intro! hahaha- much like an action packed scene!
ReplyDeletethe eyeshadow looks stunning! looks like there is great colour pay off!

Oh man, I loved how you had a back story to your purchase XD The color looks so pretty! I have a few of these on my wishlist but I don't know if I'll ever take the dive because of the price :( Your swatch is really convincing though!
ReplyDeleteI tagged you for the Cute Blog Award tag here: http://angelicbb.blogspot.com/2012/01/cute-blog-award.html. If you have time, it'd be great if you could do it too! :D
Happy Lunar New Year!! : )
ReplyDeleteI got one in Epatant and I really wanted to love it, I did.. but it seriously underwhelmed me... Maybe it's just not my taste but I always love reading what other people think of it :D
