I know how annoying it can be when you spot a shade you love but you just can't get your hands on it because its either limited edition, too pricey or not available where you live. I've rustled through all of my taupe-y shadows to see if I can help some of you out!




So first is the gorgeous ILLUSOIRE illusion d'ombre e/s from Chanel. This is quite a pricey option (£22.50), however well worth the money and widely available.




Next is one of my all-time favourites, NARS Ashes to Ashes. Gorgeous colour, gorgeous texture but again quite pricey (£17). This is also widely available.




This was a limited edition paint pot from MAC. I only include this as many of you may have this already and may want to compare it to other taupes on the market!




Ah, good old Satin Taupe, one of MACs cult colours. This has been a favourite of mine for a long time. This has a mid price point (£12 in the pot/£10 in pan form) and is probably the easiest to get hold of.





Aubersheen is a colour in a quad from the UK brand 'Soap & Glory'. The whole quad retails for the reasonable price of £10. Unfortunately for those located outside of the UK, this might be trickier to get your hands on!




Much like Soap & Glory, MUA is a UK brand. This stunning shadow retails for the incredible price of just £1! Defiantly a bargain but again trickier to get hold of outside the UK.




Last but not least is the MAC e/s in Hypnotizing. Unfortunately, this was limited edition, although it has already been re-promoted twice. I'm sure if you have access to a CCO you can probably find it somewhere, or alternatively wait until it is re-released.



So, that is all the taupe-y shades I own. Below I have included swatches so you can compare them for yourselves. Who knows, you might even save yourself some money by realising that one you already own is pretty identical to the one you've been lusting over!
