I haven't really been purchasing all that much makeup lately, which isn't really a bad thing. My bank account is sure thankful, and I certainly have more than enough in my stash to last an eternity. Buttttt, Chanel's Fall Collection caught my eye...and how could it not? Right now I don't have swatches, mostly because I'm still debating a few items. I do, however, have a look for you featuring Illusore Illusion D'Ombre from the Fall Collection.
Basically, I wanted to do something simple and work appropriate. I'm lucky that I have a little freedom to wear fun stuff, but I find myself gravitating to more polished and professional looks. This is just a wash of Illusore over the lid with a highlighter, and a little liner underneath the lower lash line, topped off with a few coats of mascara. Super simple and a quick to do in the morning.

I love the color of your eyes! Very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you're back!
ReplyDeleteYou're very beautiful :)
Welcome back!!!! :) *happydances*
ReplyDeleteThe Chanel Fall 2011 collection has caught my eye too. Everything looks gorgeous! I am so glad (well my wallet is) that the cream eye shadows and the quad are perm. I a having my eye on two or three of the cream eye shadows later. :)
I love your look and yay for showing your gorgeous face! :)
Definitely agreeing with you, blogging is hard work! Even though it seems pretty simple, just take good pictures and write about it, it still is surprisingly time consuming.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love how you used Illusoire! Amazing look, it really complements your eyes =) I really like it but I'm afraid the sparkles might be too much on me for an everyday look...
Thank you all so much for the encouragement! I placed my order for a few more fall goodies, so once those arrive, I'll be doing swatches, so stay tuned! I also have a tip for getting the color from the shadows without so much sparkle. :)
ReplyDeletewelcome back! my blog tends to take a backseat all the time, I'm trying to figure out how I can keep up with it on a regular basis and balance 4 kids, a husband, a cat, school and work. I love blogging and reading blogs =D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It is hard work, but I've missed it. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, missed you :)
ReplyDeleteIllusoire looks great on you and not nearly as sparkly as so many swatches I have seen. I'll only get one if I can wear them to the office, otherwise they're not worth it with the amount you get.
Love your new hair colour as well :)
Hey, girl! If you feel you need to take a break on the makeup purchases, do more of these posts where I can see how to apply it. As someone who wears pretty much the same makeup every day, I could use some inspiration -- especially around the eyes -- on how to shake things up a bit. :)
