Does anyone know how similar Tutti Fruitti is to Starlet?
good question. I guess starlet (I loved starlet) is far more peacher, tf is a pink coral (chanel will never do me a proper coral , I know). Starlet has a lovely perlage while I suspect tf has shimmers In my opinion tf could be a variation on the orange fizz/distraction theme

I picked up:
-Mirage Illusion d'ombre
-New Moon Illusion d'ombre
-Cheeky creme blush
-Mirabella nail polish
-Sweet Lilac nail polish
-lavender mascara

I skipped the gold liner. I tried it on my hand and it swatched smoothly and showed up great but I have noticed every time I buy colors like these from Chanel they don't show up much on my eye. I tried it on my lower lash line and didn't see hardly anything. I told the SA about how these colors never show on me and she said it didn't show up on her either. (She was much lighter than me maybe nc 15-20). Well, I get in the car and I can see it really well. It looked quite nice. I'm not going to buy it but I may start using the colors I have that are similar in the summer. I may as well use it up.

I liked the lavender illusion d'ombre but figured I didn't need it but now it is weighing on my mind. I think I may look nice with New Moon.

New Moon is a glitter bomb but I already knew that. It is pretty.

I still think I want to get Tutti Frutti but on the first page of this thread it is not listed as limited edition so I figured it could wait. For some reason I really want Eastern Light now but I didn't get it when it was first released because white polishes are easy to come by so now I don't know why I want it. Maybe because it keeps coming back, I'm thinking maybe the finish is special or something. Don't know. The pink polish, I like it but is it a must have?

So I'm not sure I'm done with this collection yet. I'm just glad there were no lip colors that tempted me.

Can you please post a swatch of New Moon IDO, Icecaramellatte? Super nice haul by the way! The Lavender IDO and New Moon are the limited ones so Mirage can always wait, lol.

I thought New Moon was sheer when I tried it in the store. That is why I was thinking I would layer it but I just dabbed it twice and got the above coverage so I think this can be built up. Wearing it on the eyes is the true test. But the glitter may be a bit migratory. If this is a deal breaker, skip this one.

Oh it's gorgeous. Why did they have to make it a glitterbomb? Though I will probably get it despite that too.

ETA: Migratory, eh? Hmmmmm. That's a bummer.

Well I didn't try it on the eye or use glitter glue so I can't say for sure but that usually is the nature of the beast.

Me likes, glittery or not. Been wearing Nars Glitter Pencil Le Sept 2408 recently so I am up for the challenge. Now those are really migratory! Thanks for the wonderful pics and swatches, Icecaramellatte. New Moon is absolutely beautiful!
