That's what happened to my old Illusion d'Ombres. <br /><br />Btw, I use the little brush as lip brush in my handbag.

Apparently, they can be pressed back into shape, but we all expect better from CHANEL!

When I purchased Vision I had the sale associate go through 5 pots until I got one that was not dried out. Even she was upset that the shades were falling out of the pot. I will get this color and will not settle until I have one in pristine condition...after all we are paying a premium for the Chanel name and quality.

I think yours has "shrunk", just from seeing lots of pots of this and owning several, I don't think it a cut 'plug'. I noted that one of mine shrunk over time, perhaps not sealed properly. I would be a bit annoyed if I received one like that new as it would lead me to believe it may be partially dried outelizab-tchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112137156854708129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-9013714272250530362013-10-06T22:24:15.045-04:002013-10-06T22:24:15.045-04:00I bought this first, then went back for the purple...I bought this first, then went back for the purple.

This one; however, is a real looker! I think of the two, it is the one that works best with the eye palette and the blusher. So, why didn't I pick it up when I bought my JC? Because it had already sold out!
