Chanel...a disappointment? It cannot be!!

So I have lusted after this since I first laid eyes on this beauty...it's an unusual colour,people rave about them... Plus it's Chanel!!
It's emerveille illusion d'ombre and it cost me 22.50!
I had such a shitty day so this was the only thing that would make me happy so off I trotted with my plastic brought this and made it home in one piece without killing anyone! Broke open the seal and slicked it on...it wobbled around in it's pot, smushed about...it wouldn't attach itself to my finger to apply it to my eye lid!!
Hmmm...tried a brush...a little better but I practically had to scoop a bit out and drag it onto my eye lid then warm it into my lid with my finger!
Ok so once it's on it lovely, a hint of pink and a slight shimmer...beautiful...For about 20 mins then it has creased and is gone within the hour!
It's so beautiful and I want to love it but I can't !
Does anyone know how to make this work? Iv tried urban decay primer potion it still creases! Ideas??
Here are some lovely pictures anyway..

Mac strobe liquid dupes???

I have always wanted to try mac strobe cream or liquid but it's just so expensive for something you don't really need!
I was buying something else in mac and decided to ask for a sample! (last time I asked they said they had run out of pots! Typical!)
So i really enjoyed using it I rubbed it on my cheekbones before foundation and it gave a lovely glow and then reading other reviews and blogs people said there was a dupe...loreal lumi magique primer...so I put it to the test!!
I lined it up against loreal and soap and glory hocus focus ...closest match was the soap and glory hocus focus!
Loreal has a golden/champagne undertone and is cerythik and creamy but the strobe liquid and hocus focus have a pink under tone and are slightly runnier. I would say s&g is a touch more peach and a tad more warm toned but they are pretty much the same!
Here are some pictures... (from left to right MAC, LOREAL & SOAP AND GLORY)
