Hi beauties! I bought myself something after quite sometime. I'm on a strict spending budget still as I prepare for the birth of our daughter and with my husband now just starting his own consulting business. It will take some time before I can really treat myself but this purchase made me quite happy.  I had quite a few Bay points accumulated so only spent $10 on this :D

Meet the newest addition to my Chanel makeup stash, Mirifique Illusion d'Ombre. I have already reviewed the formula before. But I love this eyeshadow formula as it's sparkly yet very sophisticated. They apply almost like gel but dry to a crease-resistent proof finish. Look how sparkly!!! I iz in LOVE!



Mirifique is a deep black shade with multicolour (but mostly silver) sparkles. It would be ah-mazing as a liner but also gorgeous as a fun smokey eye:



Here's my first go with Mirifique. I did a subtle gray smokey eye with dramatic sparkly liner on the bottom lashline. Hope you like it.
