Haul Photos and Swatches
Ombres Perlees de Chanel:
Espiegle Joues Contraste:
Swatches, from left to right:
Peregrina Rouge Coco [too orange for my taste] and Cristal Rose Double Intensite
Espiegle Joues Contraste and Ombre Perlees Quint
Vernis:
Chanel Black Pearl 513
Chanel Pearl Drop 511
Chanel Peche Nacree 515
The photos do not show the differences between Essie's Show Me the Ring and Pearl Drop but Essie's polish is rather sheer and glittery. Pearl Drop is much richer in pigmentation and looks good with two coats, though you can see a bit of streaking. Overall, Show Me the Ring is close enough to make do but it is NOT a dupe.
Black Pearl is rather unique but it is all up to personal preference. I assume the color hasn't sold out simply because it's not as eye-catching a color as Jade or even Particuliere.
Peche Nacree.. how I wanted to LOVE this so. The formula is the most lacking of the three. It requires the most maintenance, at 3 or 4 coats, and it streaks rather easily. It's not a nightmare but this should not be your first Chanel Vernis or you will be disappointed. Lovely frosted peach, though!
The quint is a must-have for everyone and the blusher is pretty but it's permanent! You can wait and save up for it :) The shadow palette, though, is truly a high-quality piece that is worth every penny. These powder shadows are nearly creamy, so easily buildable and ultimately flattering.
I forgot to take photos of the Cristal Rose but it looks very, very similar to Constellation Glossimer, so close that I do indeed consider it a dupe!
If you have any further questions, feel free to leave them in the comments!
