I find them most similar to the Chanel Illusion d'Ombres in terms of texture, though the Chanel has more slip and apply more evenly.
I bought Millennium (£23.50) which is a gorgeous mix of both golden and silver tones with a pewter and khaki base, it applies less shimmery than it looks in the pot.
Swatched below lightly then heavier

The pigment is very good, but the colour can apply a bit patchy so I have to take time over application. For me this requires a primer (without one I get creasing and fading very quickly).
It has a tendency to transfer on the area above, as you can see in my close up picture below where it looks really messy.

This is rectified by putting on a good amount of base colour eyeshadow in the area immediately above the cream product, but worth noting as an extra step.
For me, whilst I do like the shade, I have a no hassle approach where make-up application is concerned and unfortunately this shadow does require extra work to get the best from it.
Of the four Addict Extreme Lipsticks from the Mystic Metallics collection, I picked up Fortune (£24). It’s a sheer caramel rose nude.

I was surprised that it had a lot more slip compared to other Addict Extremes I have. It still has the lightweight texture and creamy, hydrating feel but this extra slip makes the wear time extremely short (even without eating or drinking it still disappears within an hour).

A lovely colour and great feel, but this is just too fleeting for me.
I bought these from Boots
Both are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI do like both colours :) not the best formula out there though.
DeleteHi CLare,
ReplyDeletethe eyeshadow shade you picked is really nice. It suits your skintone very well. I would agree with you that Chanel Illusion dÓmbre is similar to this but Chanel's applies better. I haven't picked any shade from this range yet because it's not an LE so I will take my time to justify if it's worth buying :)
Thanks :) I do think I could have skipped it really as I prefer the Chanel formula, I think that's a wise decision to take you time to decide on whether to buy or not xx
DeleteI actually wanted to pick one up but after your review I think I won't. The colours are somewhat similar to the Chanel's.
ReplyDeleteI think you could skip it really, I think if you like the Chanel and Armani formula then the Dior is not quite up there.
Deletexx
The eyshadow looks gorgeous! It's disappointing that you need a primer though as the maybelline ones that are like 8 bucks don't crease without one on my =/
ReplyDeleteHi Krystle,
DeleteThe wear of it wasn't the best, I do think there are better out there, I don't think I have tried the maybelline ones yet so will have to give them a go :)
