Chanel Black Pearl vs. Revlon Black With Envy
Today I have a comparison between Chanel Black Pearl and Revlon Black With Envy to share with you. These are much closer than I thought they would be, but they do have their differences.
The top photo is Chanel, the bottom photo Revlon. I used two coats and both were photographed under partly sunny skies.






Both the Chanel and Revlon applied well using two coats, and as you can see, we would notice a difference, but I don't think too many other people would. Both shades are a similar grey/charcoal color with a subtle green tone, and both have the brighter green/teal micro shimmer. The Chanel has a slightly pearl-type finish, whereas the Revlon is a straight shimmer. Truth be told, I prefer the finish of the Revlon, but the actual color of the Chanel. If I were buying it solely for the color, I'd likely skip the Chanel price tag and go for the Revlon. But I love my Chanel's, so I'm fine with having purchased Black Pearl.
Woah, I think I actually prefer the Revlon. I like the shimmer better and it doesn't look as brushstroke-y. And I'm not just saying that because it's so much cheaper!
ReplyDeleteI think both revlon and chanel have gotten away with a black frost. hehehe.
ReplyDeleteYour Gus looks like my girl Sprocket. She is WAY afraid of storms, lol! I feel you on the lack of sleep. I've been there.
ReplyDeleteI hope that Revlon keeps copying Chanels popular polishes. There's no way I could afford the Chanel but this way I get something close. (My husband would kill me if I spent that much on one polish!)
ReplyDeleteRevlon is really doing a good job copying the Chanels, but unfortunately I like the Chanels so far :)
