The Chanel Fall-Winter 2011-12 makeup collection called Illusions d’Ombre de Chanel has started surfacing online and it looks lovely. It’s a great match for the dark, smoldering Fall-Winter 2011/12 ready-to-wear collection. The lips and cheeks are pretty neutrals while the eyeshadows are smokey and rich. We’ve seen Le Vernis courtesy of nail artist extraordinaire Sophy Robson and they shimmer like the minerals they are named after. The most exciting part of the collection are individual eyeshadow pots; the eyeshadows have a creamy texture and the colors are gorgeous. They seem like they would look nice on any eye color and I especially love Mirifique (black), Illusoire (eggplant) and Epatant (olive green).

Uh Oh! I foresee another expensive trip to the Chanel Counter! This collection is so beautiful I want almost all of it! Those eyeshadows look fabulous (I have my eye on the same ones as you!) and of course I have to have the polishes. I’m intrigued by Khaki Platine, I got Rose platine which I love and want to see how different they are before I splurge! I also like the quad in Prelude, I could do with a new neutral eye palette, I really miss the Influences quad! Oh and I also like the blush! Wow, I better start saving!

Hi Sharon!
Gabriella
Since this is for Fall I’m thinking it should start rolling out to stores July/August. When I know the exact date I’ll update you!

Hi Alison,
I know, it’s all so lovely. I like the neutral quad in Prelude as well. Great minds think alike
