Ok I only just got home and was frantically trying to take a photo before the light was totally gone, this was done in the bathroom lol!Personally I think its different enough to own both, although similar Purpura has gold flecks in it so that comes through and the Chanel is more taupey. When i get home this evening I'll swatch both so you can see. I guess skintones will affect the appearance, I'm NW45/50.
!
And this was done in the kitchen
As you can see on my skintone NW45/50 illusoire comes out more taupey and purpura more purple with gold

I bought the lash serum when if came out earlier this month and within the first week (probably less) of using it I suffered with a reaction to it Not so noticable on the top lid where the skin is thicker, if you know what I mean, but on the bottom lid it felt like the skin would tear if i so much as touched it, it was that thin and sore I've never had a problem with any MAC products before but this just doesn't like my skin at all!

Purpura is certainly not this nice purple on me, more greyish taupe.

Its all fine now
I suppose its the fact you have to use it twice a day, every day (for 8 weeks) that means the reaction appeared quite quickly. Maybe using it so often caused the reaction too?@Sweetoothj: Beautiful swatches! The purple one on the right looks gorgeous.
@amy_forster: Oh no! It's awful having an allergic reaction. If it was me I'd take it back and ask for a refund..!
I stopped by TKMaxx again today and there was a NARS lipstick there for 8 quid so I snapped it up. I had to take a bit of risk as it was sealed in tamper proof packaging, so I couldn't swatch it. The shade is Petit Monstre and I was very lucky because as it turns out it's a lovely berry shade with gold. I think it's from last year's holiday collection.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful bank holiday weekend!

Thank you so much for the swatches, that's so helpful! Illusoire looks deeper on my skintone. I'll post a swatch myself a bit later. Again, thank you!
ahhhh so stupidly sparkly! i'm in love!Here are my swatches of Illusoire (top) and Mirifique
These are swatched on completely bare skin, using the brush. It looks like I piled loads on but I really used the tiniest amount!
