Hello Lovelies!!
Here is Part Two of my Top of the Taupes!

Chanel Ombre Essentielle #90 Fauve: This is an almost purple taupe. Still very taupe-y, however depending on what it is paired with, it can look a bit more purple. It contains a silver shimmer, which is very, very fine, and oh so very pretty! As with all the Chanel Ombre Essentielle eyeshadows, the texture is amazing. It's so soft and blends so easily!
Chanel Ombre Essentielle #87 Taupe Grisé: I absolutely love this one!! It's definitely one of the prettiest taupe shadows I have. It is a deeper, and slightly grayed taupe color that looks absolutely amazing on its own, or paired with a lighter color on the lid. Chanel released this shadow along with the Fall 2010 collection, and unfortunately, it was a limited edition. I'm sure there are still some kicking around though, so if you can find it, I would definitely recommend getting it!
Guerlain Ombre Éclat #187 L'Instant d'un Soupir: This one is another one of my absolute favorites!! I adore this color and use it all the time! It came out for Spring 2011 and is now in their permanent line I believe. It is absolutely fabulous!! Such a richly pigmented almost browny but not kind of dark taupe. Does that make sense? Anyway, it goes with anything, and also looks wonderful on its own. It does contain some shimmer, but the finish is definitely more of a satin than a shimmer, and it is no way tacky looking.
Okay, that concludes part two! Short and sweet! These shadows are more high end, but totally worth their price, in my opinion. Any one of these would be a fabulous little gift to treat yourself to!
Do you own any of these? What are your thoughts? And what is your favorite taupe eyeshadow? I'd love to know!!

I've had my eyes on the Gurelain one for soo long.. I love Brown Taupes and the formula of the guerlain if gooorgeous! If I do end up getting it, it'll be your fault! =P
I prefer my taupes to be greyer (as opposed to browner). I love swatches of Taupe Grise, it's so pretty.
