My Experience :
Illusion D’Ombre is a long wear eyeshadow by Chanel. The texture is like mousse cream. It spreds easily on lids and is super pigmented. Mirifique is a gorgeous jet black eyeshadow with micro multi shimmer and very defined silver sparkles. To get the real intensity of the color, I suggest that you at it with the brush that comes along with it or with a concealer brush.
I actually have a love and hate relationship with this eyeshadow. Hate because it creases on me almost after half an hour with or without primer. Starts fading (from the crease area) within a hour and the shimmer starts moving. I bought this during winter time because I totally fell for the color and my lids are less oily during winter time. But honestly, nothing stops this product from creasing or fading on my lids. I have tried using it on top of a pencil eye liner base, primer, gel eyeliner but it creases. The best way I have found is that you either apply it only on the centre of the lid or use it as a liner. I prefer just dabbing it right on top of my gel liner (upper lash line) to get a little sparkle on my lids. It looks pretty that ways.
The product comes in a wide mouthed glass jar with black lid. There is a useful synthetic bristles brush that comes along with it. It is excellent at both patting the color on lids and working as an eyeliner brush.
I thoroughly love the color . I have nothing like this in my collection. As a liner it stays on good 8 + hours on lids but at the end of the day I see shimmers almost collected near the corner of my eyes. It has never irritated my eyes. I wouldn’t recommend using on the waterline as the shimmers my hurt your eyes.
I would not recommend or ‘not’ recommend this product. I like it even with its cons but probably wouldn’t repurchase it until I find a color that is totally unique. If you don’t have oily lids, you may very well give this a try .
Indian makeup and Beauty Blog Rating : 3/5
I have used it all over the lid to create black smokey eyes. It gives that creamy rich finish when applied.
And boy! summers here have already started getting on me. So I am always on a hunt for lightweight clothes that help me stay cool all the time. 🙂

this look is making you look so so so cute rati!!!! by far my fav look…..you are looking so so so so adorable!!! :puchhi:
very very summery and cool and casual and cutuuuuu look… :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:
i have that half open bangle in red and blue with silver and i love it too :dance: :dance:
thank you chhhavi. i love that bangle. red would be awesome. i’ll look for it. :)) thanks. :))
I like the look…very indo-boho :makeup:
thanks aarbee. 🙂
I love your ring !! I have no clue where to buy gothic jewelry. Can you please suggest some websites??
These days your hair is looking super stylish, Rati :pompom: :pompom:
dipika, i have very less clue about the online jewellery stuff. I mostly pick up from streets here in delhi. you can check pretamoda. they keep a lot of stuff from indian designers. thank you. 🙂
I love such bottoms.. I have got so used to cotton pants that I dont feel like buying denims anymore..
Loved the e/s it’s been really long since we saw you adorning bold eye makeup.. still remember your electric blue eye makeup :drool: :drool:
and the transparent bag I love that idea I had one transparent bag too but I always travel heavy and have all funny stuff in my bag so I can never go for such bags. :hihi: :hihi:
awww thanks dipti. i am also wearing less and less denims because it is getting super hot here.
this transparent bag has a cute pink pouch also. so if you dont want to show your stuff, you can use that pouch. i dint have much to carry around today so used this without a pouch 😀
I know it must be super hot and dry there.. Mumbai too is getting terribly hot plus the humidity levels are awful here :spank: :spank: .. dhoti pants and harems are so useful during these days..
oh here it is not much humid yet but very very hot. i am wondering how may and june would be.. :tremble: :tremble:
Hey Rati, You are looking very adorable. eye makeup is intense and beutiful 🙂
thanks gurpreet. :))

I love ur OOTD’s :inlove: :inlove:
all over the lid jinal. and it started creasing within 15 minutes. 😐 😐 😐 it is best used as an eyeliner.
oh!! thank you. do stay around whenever you can. 🙂
Rati….you are looking nannu munnu :puchhi: :puchhi:
hihihihhi 😛
whts the cost of these lovely dhoti pants?
dont remember sorry. 🙁
i opened this page….clicked on the link…checked all the shades and stared and stared at shade no. 86 (Ebloui) for some time…..then I came back…..read the review….and gave up…..3/5 for an e/s that costs almost 2000 bucks…..so not worth it no???
but i must say, it is looking fantastic on you….and the outfit is so summery….. :heart: :heart: :heart: the overall look…. :love: :love: and your bro bought that neckpiece??? wow…lucky gurl!!
said too much :woot:
yeah he got me in green too. it was really cute of him . :))
ritu, this creases very badly on my lids. it took me months to review it ..tested and tried it so many times but does not work for me. but i like how gorgeous it looks pigmentation wise and shimmers are quite pretty too. 🙂
thanks. 🙂
ya…it looks so pretty, sad that it doesnt work, given the brand AND the price….i toh have super oily lids…..this wont even stay for 10 mins on me….. :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa:
and yet again,,,lucky gurl!!! my bro doesnt get me anything…..on rakhi and bhai dooj, he just gives me money….jo lena hai le lo…..or he’ll make me sit online with him and order stuff…..bachpan mein he got me a cute teddy :teddy: :teddy: :teddy: ,,aj tak i have it with me…but thats it…..
actually my brother is the same. this is the first time he got me something like this and I was soo delighted. 😀 😀 It’s very cute no when brothers can gift something like this. :))
ritu, the maximum you can do is create thick liner , which i also do. If you have oily lids, i would definitely not suggest this. 🙁 good morning. 🙂
good morning rati….i’ll completely skip this….2000 ka eyeliner…no way!!!
Looking so cute rati :puchhi: I want to take u home :teddy: :teddy: loved ur top.. U can pull off any style so effortlessly :woot: kudos to ur confidence :yes:

Goooooooooooodieieie Morning Rati….everyone!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Morning Rati….howz the day going? :whistle: :whistle: Me had my fav bread pakora today… :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
very nice Rati. liked that you wore flats on an outfit like this versus heels since it is supposed to be a very laid back outfit. perfect for long travel too ( minus the transpy bag). Loved the eyemake up for sure. usually when you do these foto shoots i usualy forget that makeup item that you are reviewing but in this case I cant help but notice your lovely eyes.
thank you aruna. yeah it was quite a laidback look so decided to go with flats. 🙂 glad. 🙂
RAti….good the mornings :woot: :woot:
morning jomo :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
whats you doingsz :yahoo:
Morninggggggggggg Jomolll 🙂 🙂 🙂
me having breakfast. 😀
Rati..you are looking fantabulous!!!! :woot: Can u please please do a tutorial for this eye makeup…please :waaa:
Rati, looking SUPER cuuuuteeee :)) And I LOVED ur eyes, u have the most beautiful eyes ever :teddy: :teddy:
I am liking those pants SO much n I’m getting rather annoyed with denims myself (even though Bangalore’s summers are not unbearable).. I wonder if they can be worn to office? (We don’t have a “formals only” dress code n I wear jeans all the time).. What do u think?
ramya the only way you can use these pants to office is by wearing a little longer kurti not with such a short kurti. why dont you also try wearing ankle length trousers. they are also super comfy. 🙂
i am not sure if you can substitute jeans for these pants ‘cos jeans worn well can still be a slightly formal outfit versus these pants no matter how you wear it for office will always be an extremely casual outfit.
am curious about what the others have to say too..
just replied above. 🙂
WOW… :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: :teddy: :teddy: :teddy: :teddy: very cute.. :)) every time i see a OOTD i feel this is d best look… :tongue:
u r looking very very pretty….. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
